Amid all the mad babble on YT we find the calming and engaging Yorki foss. Well done chaps.
Thank you for your kind comment, we really appreciate it! 🐬🐳
If those irate folks could be brainwashed into appreciating Nature, the world would be a nicer safer place 😊
I've only just got on to watching fossil hunters a crystals! It's blown me away! Knowing the age of them, and how beautiful they are xxx
You guys have just made my Decade!!! i have had a fossil for over 20 years that i thought was a tooth. I've kept it with my other things and forgot about it. Then i watched this and the penny dropped!!! I have a Belemnite.....i have it infront of me as i write this. Great job guys i'm made up i know what it is now .Don't stop lookin....
That’s great to hear, we’re so glad we helped identify your find!! Thanks so much 🙏🏻
Brilliant story sp pleased you kept it lol
My boys love fossil hunting and are fast becoming real rockhounds and have got me down to Filey for the weekend. Can you recommend any particular spot to go hunting for fossils with them.
First time viewer here,
And found this video fascinating! Discovered an interest I didn't know I had. Will definitely be coming back
Glad you enjoyed it 🙏🏻🦕🦖
Just wandered into this unknown but You've convinced me to keep watching. It's Hypnotic. Great work Guys.
Thanks so much, more fossils to come! 🐙🦎
Yes please more scenery , it's so beautiful .
Thanks so much, noted!
Those colourful coastal shots are spectacular!
Congratulations on finding that outstanding belemnite fossil, and thank you for sharing.
Really nice to see also other fossils, like the pyritized shell, and the search for them. I enjoy the videos a lot. Thanks.
Thanks so much, we really appreciate it! Will try to keep them varied 🐬🌊
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.
Isso comprova que a Terra já foi um planeta gasoso e se tornou Planeta Água até formarem os oceanos
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.
А в России расстреливают за это
@@Svetpuh
🤣🤣🤣🤣 правда? Вы один из расстрелянных в России ?🤦♀️😅
That last belemnite is such a great one! Liked those calcite crystals as well
It’s pretty special isn’t it!! Will have to show some others too 🦑
💎From Tokyo Japan💪🏻✨👍️Pleas protect the world heritage sites.🙆🤗😊🦪🐚🦕very great video.🤙🏻
This is next level Belemnite greatness! Well found and prepared.
Thanks mate 🙏🏻 Such a lovely Belemnite isn’t it!
His saftey glasses are ski goggles. 🤣 🤣
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
Thank you 🙏🏻 Orange belemnites sound great! They can certainly be misleading fossils 🦴 Sometimes they look like teeth 🦷
Lovely to see you young folks so knowledgeable and keen on your passion.
Thank you for your kind comment, we really appreciate it! 🐬🐳
Great videos in your channel. These are not random findings but they are the result of targeted and skilled research. Thank You for sharing
Your enthusiasm is contagious. Thanks.
We really appreciate that, thanks so much.
Fantastic finds! I personally love the ammonites but that belamnite was something else. Might have to give that website a look, lol
Thanks for posting and sharing. Very interesting.
I like the way the nodules look before they are hammered and split.
Such a lovely fossil hunt 😍, great to find some spessims ,and that's all part of the joys of hunting.
Thank you for sharing, Happy Tuesday Simon and Beth ❤❤❤
That belemnite is amazing! Fantastic find
Thank you 🙏🏻 🦑🦑
Bonne Année Yorkshires...............
Happy New Year 🥳
That belemnite still attached to its phragmacone at the end is a fantastic specimen!
It’s pretty unique isn’t it! Certainly one of the coolest we’ve seen!
Yes. Haven’t seen anything like this during the paleo labs or the lab books (way back when … varsity 🙂)
Has to be museum quality. For sure.
That's a good hobby cool
Hi lads, only just looking into doing a bit of fossil hunting and after all the videos ive watched i think yours are so refreshing. Gonna subscribe now!!!! Lastly which beach is this please?
Супер, вы путешествинники во времени!!!!
Я в восторге!!!
Wow fantastic lads.👍
Thanks so much 🙏🏻🌊🐬
These guys say the word "nodule" more than anybody.
That guy is the nicest specimen on that beach, lol
Excellent. 😮🦑🦑 Sweet.
Love this dude! His like a stone surgeon with that hammer 👍😄
Very enjoyable ❤Thanks for taking us on the journey ❤️🔥
Thanks Mam 🤩❤️
I liked opening the shale. You didn’t find much but it was exciting
It’s certainly exciting but takes a while before you find much 🙏🏻
Ski goggles aren't safety googles, lol...on a more positive note, I stumbled onto this vid, and looked up Belemnites, now wiser for the day!
nice one❤
I love finding and cracking some me some concretions, nodules, geodes and such, also love eating noodles which is completely unrelated yes :) I also love finding ammonites and trilobites :) Is there any videos where you guys hunt for trilobites, have you ever hunted/owned/bought any? Have you ever found any trilobites?
Thanks so much, more fossils to come! 🐙🦎 We have nowhere nearby to find trilobites unfortunately, but would love to find one! We’ve never owned one either!
@@YorkshireFossils That sucks, since that place is jurassic, makes sense you find none, where i live in denmark is danian and nearby is more danian but also cretaceous :) Most of denmark is cenozoic but the island of bornholm have ranges all the way back to precambrian! 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. I have bought some really well preserved trilobites and ammonites, so well preserved they look alive or like they're sleeping. Also got a little amber with inclusions which is always nice. Have you guys got any amber? If so, got any with inclusions? 🦖🦟
Nice!
Thanks mate 🙏🏻
@@YorkshireFossils 😁👍
Second of the five is a perfect example of a fossilised jellyfish - the giveaway is the white ring. Also the oil in it was from it eating an ammonite as its last meal!
Beautiful belemnite specimens.
Would be ecstatic to explore that beach and spending hours in it.
Great stuff lads .I was always into fossils and now my kids are ,they're very excited and watched this with me .
Super video! What sort of camera are you using?
Yeah, they look better wet. Thanks, coming from the Mojave desert.
I couldn’t help but think that Belemnite was miraculously preserved for hundreds of millions of years then OOPs, it didn’t split right.😀
Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
Great new interest! Better than political gossip.
Very cool! I have subscribed! Have ya found any geodes in your area?
Thanks! We haven’t found any geodes no
There is an ancient quarry on top of Bredon Hill, in Worcestershire, where we find fossil shells and bits of Belemnites. Over 1000 feet above sea level.
i'd rather just travel to yorkshire & open a few while there on vacation lmao. respect the grind tho
🦕🦴🙌🏻
В свое время находила рисунок листьев внутри угля. . Было упоительно интересно.
Whare is This ? Me and my whife love This type of just looking and finding. Ofc we dont bring with us home just super intresting to loot. Ty for a grate video
the big one wasn't empty but actually contained a fossil jellyfish that was encased in limestone during the first days of The Flood 4,370 years ago; that is why there is a spherical impression.
Greetings from the BIG SKY.
Hi all its great Ammonite finds, it reminded me of my Mum when she was very young way back in the day . Mum found a Ammonite fossil about 5ft to 6ft in size I think it was the largest found in New Zealand but the funny thing happen they misspelt her name when they put her name in the books
That sounds incredible about the find that she made! We have never found an ammonite specimen that large before! Great work 🙌🏻
This really is amazing you guys found such a complete belemnite fossil! Wow! Thank you for this video. How much would one of those go for on the market?
Pretty awesome isn’t it! If you would like a fossil, please check out our official website, thank you 🙏🏻
Супер!!!!!!👌👍👍👍
Thanks for watching! Stay tuned for more 🙏🏻🦖
You should try a hammer that comes more to a point to focus the energy in a concentrated area it’ll crack open the rock easier and it’s a nicer split
I think even the empty ones are beautiful. They’d look striking in a garden
I love fossils.
You'd enjoy Hell Creek country. Jordan, MT. was where I hunted.
what's that thing behind you at 1.50 look's like a mammoth tusk or maybe a giant rib?👀
This is beautiful and very interesting....💪💪⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Thanks so much 🙏🏻🦕🦖
@@YorkshireFossils i am your follower now.💪😁
Lacht jetzt nicht. Ich hätte den kugeligen Stein komplett zum Auto geschleppt und an meinem haus aufgestellt. Und immer wieder darüber gestreichelt. Wirklich!
Did you pat a pebble at the start my guy 🤣🤣🤣👊 i live in blackpool i found a small one on the beach, it has a perfect white line going round the whole pebble but the pebble in really dark. Why is the line so perfect round the whole pebble ???
Couldn't be arsed to watch this as UA-cam insisted on me watching a 20 second advert beforehand.
Can you tell me what makes the nodules when there is nothing inside?
Hi guys, could you please tell me where was this filmed? I would like to visit this place! Thank you!
Ciao ragazzi bel video
Thanks so much 🙏🏻🦕🦖
How are those round ones formed?
Recently I opened a rock and to my surprise there was more rock inside.
Am I the only one who see value in the module? I love a few in my garden
Thank goodness, every single one I’ve ever opened has been empty ! Guess I’ll just keep trying 😃
Nothing wrong with trying, (good luck🍀).
I’m sure eventually you’ll find something special 🙏🏻🌊
How are the nodules formed geologically?
Bro ❤️
🦖🦕
@@YorkshireFossils 🌀🔆✊
the round ones you found, looked like big dumps from a giant rabbit 🤣.
Why are the nodules round?
I didn't know that we had calcite in the UK. Have you considered selling those as well?
Some of the fossils we offer contain calcite 🙏🏻
@@YorkshireFossils lovely. I'll take a look
The spherical nodules looked like some strange melon, with a rind, but no seeds. Chert nodules are common where I am from in the US, but few of them yield as many fossils, at least not visible ones.
That’s similar to here really, not many of the large nodules contain any fossils for some reason 🤔
Maybe you could show a picture of the “animal “ with the fossils?! Would be more interesting 🧐
You do actually raise a good point. I think many people would benefit from an image of the creature that they are digging up, as well as a basic explanation of what the fossil is. That way they could better visualize the creature that the fossil used to be.
Prehistoric unboxing.
How do these limestone nodules form...one with calcite cementation inside?
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
I am a new scriber I hope this is OK to ask but do you ever do any mud larking.
Hey 👋🏻 We haven’t done any mud larking before but it looks cool!
The HOT Fossil Guys make great videos !!
Today I learned rock bullets are actually little tiny squidies.
🦑 🦑
What makes the nodules form separate from the shale?
To be honest it’s not fully known yet 🤔
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 🙏🏻
How beautiful the belemnite!!! Don´t you collect the shells?
Awesome isn’t it!! We sometimes collect the better preserved shells 🐚
What do you do with the fossils you collect.
All sorts! Our main goal is to save and prepare important fossils and share them
Near Whitby?
Na Basílica de Nazaré em Belém do Pará - Brasil, tem vários fósseis na pedra do piso.
Então pode ter muitos fósseis enterrados na praia?
Question: would any hammer do or does it have to be the same as your using mate? Sorry if it’s a dumb question
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.
@@thehowlingjoker thank you for replying really appreciate it. question what kind of hammer is that?
@@TheyCallMeCuban_Pete Looks like an engineer hammer. There are hammers specifically made for geology/paleontology, I would personally recommend looking into those and finding cheaper, generalised equivalents.
Engineer or Engg hammers and rock hammers are a good place to look.
@@thehowlingjoker thank you so much mate 🙏🙏 hope you have a positive day
@@TheyCallMeCuban_Pete no problem, good luck finding what you need.
@130drade How else can they find if something is inside? They don't have x-ray vision, and it's not like they're archaeologists and have to use trowels and brushes. 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!
Tolle Exponate!
Where was this beach?
멋있어요 ~ ^^ 👍
Glad you enjoyed it! More to come 🐊🏝️
La tierra tiene millones de años...!!
I’d love to have those round rocks for my garden..
Yo where is this place?
That looked like a footprint on the underside of the very first slab that you turned over
I see what you mean, but I don’t think it was a footprint on this occasion
so fun
What was the fragmacone? I used to think it might be the tentacles because of being an early squid, but having seen that really well preserved belemnite it obviously wasn't. Can you describe or, better still, show us a drawing of how it was constructed because my imagination has short-circuited!
