My favorite scene from this video was the detail where you taught us to bury broken rocks in the wet sand to protect the feet of future beach walkers. Thank you for your care for fellow beings!
I really enjoy watching this channel, such great feelings looking at the coastline exposing these amazing fossils! The footage of the preparations is also really interesting and satisfying! Thanks for the videos!
Thank you for taking us along on your fossil hunts guys. They are so fascinating. Really appreciate your educational commentary as well. 😊 Yes, I'd like to see preparations on future videos.
How exciting to find perfect specimens just lying in the sand waiting for you! I enjoyed the longer video and the breaks back to the workshop. Such lovely finds!
Thank you so much for the adventure of watching you find fossils. Love the educational information and history as well as the preparation of the finds! Amazing drone footage, it's so beautiful and peaceful! 💯 viewer here from central Texas, USA🇺🇸 🥰🙏
Would you guys mind putting the species names of the different things you find on the screen. Personally, I am hard of hearing. But unfortunately, the closed captioning does a horrible job of trying to figure out what's being said sometimes. For instance instead of belemnite, it says bellam knight 😂😂😂
Good idea! I think this would make the content more accessible. That would be very helpful for me too, I am hearing but totally new to this topic and English isn't my first language so I would be able to look some information up when I have the right name on screen. :)
@@DG-kq8zf I know what it is. I was poking fun at the way the closed captioning was spelling it. And I can't remember if it's this video or the one right before it, but they do find one with an intact phragmocone!
Great content! Our Almighty God Created such an AMAZING world for us to explore and enjoy. Thanks for sharing with this old man in Appellation Tennessee.
Love watching these, especially when you/your father is treating & preparing them! I’m lucky enough to live in Folkestone (next to Dover) in Kent where we have a huge area of gault clay from the Cretaceous period so there are hundreds of ammonites & bivalves etc! Nothing Jurassic though so these videos are awesome 👏🏻
I was about eight years old when I found my first fossil. Like me, It was small and insignificant, but the thrill that I felt is still with me. Just the thought that I was the first human to hold something created umpteen millions of years ago was mind boggling.
We think someone should take the beautiful “ammonite death bed” slab, clean it up, cover it with clear epoxy resin and make a table out of it! Or coasters out of the smaller pieces.
Surprised I've not come across you guys before, but I guess there must be zillions of Channels.. Congrats on such a huge following - well deserved, very nicely done, lovely drone footage and it is great to see young folk interested in geology & fossil hunting, fossicking & rock hounding. Always keen to learn more about our rocky past, thanks for sharing your finds.
Unfortunately, I have not seen your videos lately due to the algorithms. You have always had an amazing channel, but seeing you work more equally with speaking, etc, has definitely been a great addition to your channel. Please keep on filming. Your hard work is greatly appreciated by all of us. I absolutely love the pyrite inclusions. Here in Alberta Canada, some of the amonites may come coated with amolite, but it unfortunately makes them illegal to harvest them here without the right credentials. I have to admit, I am not sure what I like better; amolite or pyritized amolites. So pretty.
Talking about these fossils is most interesting, people play around the rocks without realising that underfoot there is the evidens of sea life that lived millions of years ago in a different world, its all so fascinating.
Sure looks like an Estwing hammer to me. That's the only hammer company I know of that makes them out of a single piece of steel. That would be a relatively new one--up until a point, the handles were always stacked leather, but in the 90s, they started using man-made materials that absorb shock better. I have both types of handle because I bought my first one in the early 80s. But mine are both regular claw-hammers. So lucky to live so close to such a great source of fossils. Even if II lived near there, II still couldn't do much about it...I have trouble walking, and use a rollator....and those won't work well on a beach. If I could get fossils just by taking a walk, I'd be doing it.
😅This ist one of your best content Videos I watched since year. It ist really giving an impressive overlook rather then the Clips. Well received Christmas present. Great stuff. More of This quality.
I met a man at Sandsend when i was walking bqck to whitby and he had a hammer and split open round rocks and nearly each one had an ammonite in it, it was magical.
Jurrasic squid at the beach near Runswick, have you dug some out of the shale at south whitby, yesxits very dangerous and covered with crap from the waste pipe but there are some amazing embedded amonites.
I asked ChatGBT, "How do rocks form around an ammonite fossil?: And "Regarding fossils how much more abrasive is saltwater than freshwater?" - the answers are amazing.
Netherland viewer here, I thank you for the new content you've made for christmas! I really enjoyed it. 1 question though, is your dad's fingers alright? they seemed a little moshy. Just to make sure of course, have a great day/night and a merry christmas!
You can find fossils high up on the moors. I cant remember the exact name but its an outcrop of big rocks just fulk of fossils. Its not shale up there but limestone.
I'm in Scarborough is there any point me looking along this coast I understand your in Yorkshire bit just wondering if Scarborough worth looking for any fossila thanks

Thanks for giving this 82yr old lady an adventure on. Your lovely coast & education on fossils: keep up the good work
Keep up the great work lads, your parents must be super proud of you

Belemite.
A squid.
And if they look closer, they might find the hooks.
But I'm only 5 min into the video. Hoping for more.

@@micah06v8 okay. Cheers!
Yea I am glad somebody said this I too are slowly loosing my hearing and yes it very difficult and frustrating
That fossil at the very end with all the pyrite is freaking beautiful!!!
Isn’t it just!! It was an unexpected delight!
Truly enjoyed your "walk" to find treasures. Thank you.💙🌻💙
Great video guys 👍👍
Great content! Our Almighty God Created such an AMAZING world for us to explore and enjoy. Thanks for sharing with this old man in Appellation Tennessee.

Gorgeous amenities.. wow what a find! All of them! 😊
Thank you for sharing another exciting adventure.😌👌
Thank you, hope you enjoy!!
I truly enjoyed it, thank you.😊
Nice video, fun stroll along the beach.
The cinematography is beautiful!
Just awesome...how lucky you guys are to go looking whenever you want and find amazing fossils. I am jealous.
Its lovely to see the faces that go with the voices love your work!❤
Yes, please make a video of the preparation that you’re working on right now in its entirety that would be wonderful.
We will absolutely aim to make something like that soon 🙏🏻
It is absolutely fascinating watching the preparation work. Please make a longer video.
Great informative video. Very thoughtful burying the shards.
Glad you enjoyed it, and absolutely, it’s another part of the fossil hunting process 🙏🏻
I love how understated these fellows are. Great music too!
Great job, lads. Beautifully photographed with stunning panoramic views. The fossil hunting is just the icing on the cake.
Thank you for your kind comment, we really appreciate it! 🐬🐳
Interesting show guys. Thanks. Great HD vid
Fantastic!🙃
Nice production. Made me aware of how important this area is, also how you need to know what you are doing regarding tides, rock falls.
This is totally cool.to watch you two men find fossils!!!! Really enjoy, all the way in my home in Michigan, USA
Mery Christmans 🌠🎁🧑🎄🎄
Merry Christmas 🎄
WOW! Thanks for taking me along with you from the other side of the Atlantic. Beautifully videography& narration too.
Good work lads, very knowledgeable. Keep at it and hope 2025 brings you bigger finds 😉👍👌
Thanks, you too! Happy new year!
Enjoyed
What a great video, thanks

That Ammonite slab would be a lovely accent in a garden!

That’s certainly a great idea 🙏🏻

Great work in that belemnite.
That shell is absolutely wonderful.it looks like a fresh recently empty shell, that until you tap it on a tooth.
Wow, this is a very fine video - made with much love to all the details. Thanks a lot.
Glad you enjoyed it! We took our time to try and make the video just right, we also have many more episodes in the pipeline!
@@YorkshireFossils Yes, i am very impressed. Maybe we'll see us end of Feb - if you know an accomodation please let me know.
Thank you for the hard work in bringing us amazing knowledge.

wow our planet is beautiful
Super taf top video cool😊
Thank you from Alaska. We love watching every single video you make.
Awesome! Thank you! See you in the next one 🙏🏻
The reveal process would be a grand view.
Super amonite😊
Super coguiaje😊
Love the channel!!!
Maravillosa aventura... muchas gracias por su canal.. felicidades saludos desde México, Guanajuato.
Awesome video guys thanks excellent knowledge too every day a learning day
Is the material the fossil itself is made of always harder/stronger than the shale you're trying to get rid of?
Yes please show a video of the whole fossil preparation.
Noted! 🔬
I would love to see more preparation videos. I always liked watching your dad work. Does he do any work for museums or just with what you guys find?

What do you use as the final coating?
😅This ist one of your best content Videos I watched since year. It ist really giving an impressive overlook rather then the Clips. Well received Christmas present. Great stuff. More of This quality.
Wow, thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed our Christmas special. More to come very soon!
Is it possible to see the full video of preparing the fossil? Thank you🎉 Viewer from singapore ❤
Thanks from australia
You’re welcome, thanks for watching 🙏🏻
Yes pleaae for the whole ictheo thingy.
What do you use to stop the just crumbling ?
I met a man at Sandsend when i was walking bqck to whitby and he had a hammer and split open round rocks and nearly each one had an ammonite in it, it was magical.
Great video... What are the wellies worn, they look nice and wide and im struggling to find a good pair?
What kind of material are you using in sand blaster, looks really fine
@5:11 pebbles. I was thinking pea gravel.
めちゃくちゃロマンある
かっこいい
3:03 what happens if you use that air thingy on your skin?
Jurrasic squid at the beach near Runswick, have you dug some out of the shale at south whitby, yesxits very dangerous and covered with crap from the waste pipe but there are some amazing embedded amonites.
Also, great job on those finds! May 2025 bring you even better finds
Thanks so much! 🦕🦖 Happy New Year!
What is the blowing device ? Is it sending just pressurized air?
brilliant. i went there a few years back but never found anything.
I asked ChatGBT, "How do rocks form around an ammonite fossil?: And "Regarding fossils how much more abrasive is saltwater than freshwater?" - the answers are amazing.
Very interesting 🦕
One of the English ammonite hunters should come out with apparel that features a fossil ammonite and " Give It A Bash!". I would buy that.
Haha that’s a great idea
Hello from 🇨🇦. What is done with all of the specimens that you take home?
Did the ammonites in the shale die at the same time?
That calcite formation at 13:03 is actually called septarian which is also known as lightning stone! Hope that helps!
Netherland viewer here, I thank you for the new content you've made for christmas! I really enjoyed it. 1 question though, is your dad's fingers alright? they seemed a little moshy. Just to make sure of course, have a great day/night and a merry christmas!
You’re welcome, glad you enjoyed it! They are okay thank you, they are well adapted to the working environment of the preparation workshop! 🔬
You might want to speak with EM_Gems, another YT’r who is busy with her dissertation on similar fossils. She’s British too.
AWESOME
Thanks 🤗
Try coming to Denmark, it is very common to find perfect sea urchin fossils, if you do come then try going to møns klint, or Hårbølle strand.
Are the Danish laws friendly towards fossil hunters?
@@ArnhemAntiques yeah basically every beach
Good job Dad
I have a stone the size of a soft ball cover in fossils that I pulled from the ocean in South America. I wish I could get it cleaned up and preserved.
Aren't those impressions of scales on the Icthyosaur flipper?
Perhaps a time-lapse of stages of cleaning to show progress of the flipper?
Did you take a part of that last, multi-split pyrite death bed home? I would really love that for my pyrite collection.
JET!wooh hooh
🙏👍🇨🇵 j'aime on n'a prend beaucoup dans un paysage merveilleux
Heyy, thanks a lot! More to come! 😀
You can find fossils high up on the moors. I cant remember the exact name but its an outcrop of big rocks just fulk of fossils. Its not shale up there but limestone.
Visit Derbyshire, there's plenty of fossils to be seen in the drystone walls made from limestone!!
I'm in Scarborough is there any point me looking along this coast I understand your in Yorkshire bit just wondering if Scarborough worth looking for any fossila thanks
going a bit further north to whitby area is better
@Hugh.G.Rectionx AHH ok thank you for the reply 👍
