    Unfortunately if fossils aren't collected from the beach then the tides rapidly erode them away. In Dorset they actually encourage people to collect them, because being lost to the sea is such a waste.

    Amazing belemnites especially the last one. When I was a kid I used to call them carrot stones (we mostly got the orange coloured ones) no one knew what they were until someone said they are from lightening strikes on the sand, which is what I believed until I was an adult and started fossil hunting

    Fascinating stuff! The one at the end was really impressive. Great job, guys!
    As a teenager I lived a couple of years in La Paz, Bolivia. Once we went on a trip to a ski resort called Chacaltaya, 5500 meters above sea level. We stopped to see the view on a road surrounded by piles of rock fragments. We started kicking some of the rocks and to our surprise, they cracked open to reveal tiny marine fossils(trilobites, I believe). Most of the rocks seemed to contain one. Unfortunately, we didn't stay long enough to make a thorough search, but the ones we found we took home.

Since denmark was underwater we mostly find sea life, but bornholm has land and water since it was covered in land but also water! It's a bit far away but totally worth it for the trilobites and dinos and other things.

Anything they are looking for at these particular sites are rock within rock. The softest stuff around is the shale where fossils can be found between layers by splitting. It's not like sandstone. Totally different method of extraction needed. Horses for courses!

    • @spatrk6634
      @spatrk6634 3 місяці тому +1

      limestone nodules with calcite cementation inside form through a combination of sediment deposition, chemical precipitation, and diagenetic processes that lead to the local concentration and crystallization of calcium carbonate within the nodule. These processes are influenced by a variety of environmental and biological factors so you can have each nodule with unique structure and composition

      Any hammer will do. The thing with the hammer is the material, which dictates how hard it is and how hard it can hit. For example, you don't want to be smacking really hard things with a hammer that is too soft, or you'll end up with a broken hammer. But for delicate tasks you might want more delicate tools.

    Id love to explore that beach!! If i found even a small ammonite id be so happy!! A pyritized one would be the best ever! I live in Northern Ireland and all ive ever found....just by sheer luck...was a broken ammonite fragment and a broken imprint fragment. Still cool finds all the same.

      Thank you, it’s a pretty cool beach to explore for sure! There are certainly plenty of great things out there to be found if you keep looking 🙏🏻

    Why are fossils so hard to find? Because dinosaur-paleontologists walked along the beaches for many millions of years and dug up all the interesting fossils.

    I see rail tracks next to a cave, wrre they mining something in that area?
    Ps, you guys need to get a gas powered rotory saw with a diamond blade to square out those fossils stuck in large rocks.

      They were indeed mines here but the metal is actually from a ship wreck 🛳️

    It looks like you are nearly standing on a tusk while you are busting that nodule.
