- Full disclosure, I am out of my element when it comes to fossil hunting, so at times I may misidentify or mispronounce something.
Overall, it was fun to go to this location, and it's nice to have such an old specimen in the collection.

Fossils are fun to hunt, thinking how long ago those things lived. Wow...
time stamp 5:30...the small black specks might be small shell fossils...if it's 540 MY, there might be carry over species from the precambrian
Addy gas station has some delicious breakfast burritos. I'm horrible some days looking up for deer over a need to look at rocks n mineral in that area.
The area has so much cool material and mining history to offer.
Big thanks, brother! You are so generous with your time and information (especially locations).
Much gratitude to you.

Thank you for stopping by to watch!
Jared, I was reading a great article about the Addy road cut, last year. It was in the "Panorama Prospector" newsletter- apparently they are a rock hounding club out of Colville, WA. The author of the article made mention of the fact that in the recent past, there was a bunch of work done, to widen that road, and from what he saw, the majority of the trilobite-bearing material had been removed. When I tried to get a link for the article, it came back as a dead-end. I'll email the screen shot which links to the article, but as I mentioned, the link does not work.
I would love to read that!
I think you're right about the brachiopod mishmash being part of the ocean floor. It's pretty common for all those dead shells to fall down, then get covered by layers of mud and other shells. Cool!
In my post video research I'm even more confident that this is the case here.
Learning a lot, thanks! I don't know much about Addy, but I will again mention the Dominion mountain, I have a detailed book that was written about Dominion mine, and there have been fossils found on family property on the West side of that mountain.
To my knowledge there is a minor fault there that matches up with a small skinny lake, and some of that rock is super old Precambrian and Jurassic. Last time I explored I found a 3 foot wide veign of quartz in the side of a logging road, looked like a massive 15" pillar of white quartz.
That sounds really cool. Whats the book about the mine? Were you able to identify the fossils?
@@CurrentlyRockhounding Well my grandma says a small ammonite was found there and besides that some leaf/plant fossils found in shale/slate.
The book follows the mines history, and how the town of Colville developed because of the mine. Like they put a smelter in town and before that shiped ore as far as Portland and Chicago for processing.
Looks like another fun trip! I enjoy getting out and fossicking around! Gonna have to make it there one of these days.
NE Washington has so much to offer. If you make it out here it would be great to meet up and do some videos!
@@CurrentlyRockhounding Definitely!
I think the round things are cross sections of crinoid stalks.
I don't think crinoids have been found in Washington.
Has the better half cracked open the you can glamorations yet?. Not sure that's the correct word?
Sara has not broken any of these, I think we have decided to keep them intact.
Fascinating. I’m curious if they were sanded and pretty’d up. Would the fossils have more detail? Maybe too crumbly?
That's a good question, I'm going to have to mess around with it at some point this summer.
Very interesting. I like fossils. All of my fossils are marine, corral fossils.
It would have been so cool for you if you would have found a trilobite! It’s always fun hunting though ♥️♥️♥️
Way cool man
Go hit it up!
I appreciate the ability to see the fossils, however I don't collect much of them.
I have some coralville Iowa fossils that I'm trying to figure out how to display.
Likewise, we don't really have many fossils in the northwest but I do like have a few in the collection.
You never know. There could be some trace amount of gold in that piece of pyrite. It'll cost more to recover the gold than what it's worth, but the addiction requires extraction, extraction, extraction!
