I am Japanese. I'm studying English now to understand what you say. I want to be able to convey what moved me to this video. It's a wonderful Ammonite !! I'm cheering from Japan!

Such a cool process. Can you do a video on the tools you use and their cost?
Ah yes, my favorite ammonite species, "TITLE TEXT HERE."
Your crinoid was almost fully articulated, and in great condition. Very impressive.
Thanks! That's our favourite so far but I'm looking forward to seeing how this one turns out too!
That crinoid is amazing, looks almost like an H.R. Giger sketch!
I have been following this Chanel for about 3 months give or take, you have been a BIG insperation for my fossil collection
Oh wow that's great to hear! Hope you've learnt lots so far!
It's great to see a young lad so Interested in fossils & natural history. I live in Merseyside but years ago me & my family used to go to Whitby on holidays & found quite a few ammonites on the beach. It's hard to comprehend just how old they are they really are truly ancient. Been watching your channel for a while now & you're an amazing young man it's astonishing to see the odd fossil that turns up. Keep up the great work mate!!!
I just found this channel and I really like it.
Heyy, thanks a lot! Very kind of you to say 😀

Oops!!
@@YorkshireFossils lol
This is an absolutely amazing video. And thank you for posting it. You’ve given us a chance to lay eyes on history being unearthed. It’s truly great.
Excellent! One half hour down the road from me in Indiana are the famous Crawfordsville Crinoid Beds. At some point a fine layer of silt buried these to preserve them before some more destructive forces were able to ravage the beds. The results are arguably the best preserved specimens on the planet. It is still possible to discover a yet named variety if due diligence is shown.
Fine work, I had never seen this process though so had wondered on it. In the southern part of my state there are similar slate concretions, some as big as Volkswagon Beetles! I do wonder what might be within those. Great video, Cheers!
7:30 Omg this is so satisfying! you should make longer videos of this. No need for talking. It would be the best ASMR Ever!!!!
Wow 😮 that was so cool watching those fossils being prepared.
What a fantastic video👍👏 😀.
Those fossile specimens are gorgeous! Thank you so much for sharing this part of the process!!!
Would have been nice to see the polishing of the pyretic ammonites and nodules
Stunning crinoid plate, and a great bit of prep. Well done.
Absolutely amazing. That crinoid block wow. Definitely number 1 fossil channel.
it was great seeing prepare your finds
Used to live neer you (marske by the sea) and used to go with my gran to be beach looking for fossils. It's lovely to see you doing this. It brings back good memories so thank you very much 😊
I could watch this for hours. Fascinating!!
How fascinating to watch the fossils gradually appear from the rock, more of these videos please 👍.
I could see the mini electronic chisel but can you explain what the other tool was, was it using compressed air or water? A video with a voice over explaining a little more would be interesting.
Great finds, you are so lucky to be near a coast with so many wonderful fossils, we don't have as much down in Suffolk. Love seeing what you discover when you crack open those round nodules.
Everytime a nice happening to see your new vids and stuff! I like to watch your channel while i do my own preppings...Wish you all the best finds, stay healthy and safe! All the best from Munich, Germany!
Good video. I would like to see more about the preparation of the fossil you find. Keep up the good work. 👍
It's nice to have a brother with a same passion, all my brother do is ask to borrow money and pretending to forget about them.
Fantastic video!
That first prepared block is unreal!
Did you have family in the fossil prep field? Or did you build the amazing set of tools piece by piece. You have inspired me to attempt more fossil prep, how much does a basic air scribe system cost, roughly. Your work is amazing, if I ever make it to the UK would love to hunt with you some time!
I have been interested in knowing those details...and now I do. Lol.
Thank you.
You're welcome!
Great video from a great channel! I’m glad I found a good channel which is about my passion, fossils.
I'm so enjoying your channel & this prep video is fascinating, thanks for sharing your passion
Wow! That's a lot of work but well worth the effort! Thanks for posting! I was wondering how you prepared them! Very cool indeed!
When you can.Visit Thor's cave in Wetton Staffordshire.It's an ancient sea cave.You can make out many things in the rock.There have been 10.000 year old remains found there.So it must have been under the sea way before.You can see fossils from marine life in the rock.You will love it.
These are fantastic! I always wondered how they were done and now I have a better understanding
*Absolutely AWESOME Crinoid!* Ammonites Too. I've been finding little Cinoids & pieces in my Yard. Little, i mean tiny, hard to see, not even an inch. Just noticed the other day, a 'quartz' Rock of Crinoids has a bit of Pyrite, Very Cool!
Do you ever use Vinegar to aid in removal of matrix?
Splendid.
So great to see how you clean up, I want to learn these techniques . Half of the art; finding and identifying- clean up the other. You and your dad have developed some amazing skills over the years. Missing the beaches, as soon as the lockdown’s lifting a trip to Yorkshire for some serious fossil hunting is top of my list! You should really set up a small museum with all your finds!
P.s; love to see the video again where you your dad and friends got that ichthyosaur off the beach in a canoe, epic adventure that!
And a large part of the art is reading papers and researching.
Ron Merril “reading papers and researching”; there are some good books out there, it’s an enjoyable and exciting hobby, you don’t have to turn it into a university degree 😂
Awesome videos! I have a question, what kind of product do you put on the ammonites once you're done cleaning them up?
I was wondering if you would be willing to share your set up? Like what tools you use and how everything flows together. I am getting into fossil prep and don’t know what I should get. It’s kinda overwhelming 😅😅 Any advice?
Fascinating to watch guys, awesome job.
Well done and awesome video Aaron :)
Amazing prep video, where or from whom did you get the air pens and chisels? Can you recommend starter set for beginners. I've checked ken mannion stuff out but I don't gave the cash or the space for a big set. Got through a few dremmels already.
OMG! I am just bowled over. Thanks!
I happened onto your channel and am enjoying it very much!
Very informative video. Thank you! When your uncovering the fossil in the shale, is that water pressure your using?
Be useful to know what tools you are using?I looks like a dremel but what are the attachments?
What was the tool used to disintegrate the rock and leave the fossil?
Hi what tools are you using to clean the fossils up with please
A very interesting video. Thanks for sharing. Pls more. 👍
what is the tool you are using to remove the matrix?
Many people have asked but I see no answer as to what tools you use. Is it for fear of competition? I would love to see more technical videos from you talking about the tools and process. Common mistakes. Your recommendations. More of a teaching vid. Because your stuff is rad and learning from the best is , well, the best.
Good question! The tools we use are from either Ken Mannion or ZOIC Palaeotech. Making quality preparation videos is something we’re working towards, but is more difficult than I thought it would be 🤣
Thanks very much though, I’m glad you enjoy our content! Hopefully it will continue to get better
What media are you using to blast with? Sand, walnut, glass, soda?
How do you bring out the golden shine of the iron-pyrite, and how do you keep it that way?
Really impressive! Your crinoid reminded me of Prometheus
Hiya thanks for your great videos, what glue do you use ? I've collected loads of fossils over the years but can't afford the compressor, or air pen 😕
the video is really educational and very interesting ... i made a lego like custom of AMMONITE For my channel... im a fan of dinosaur and extinct creatures... I just hope i could also make a info video like this for my AMMONITE soon ... love it...
Thankyou for sharing ❤️ very stunning..
More preparation to come!
I'm from Indonesian I want to hunt ammonite Fossil
But I don't know where I can get it in Indonesia
I was wondering how you prepare them to look so good!
The video was a long time coming! Preparation video of a lobster coming soon!
Yorkshire Fossils that sounds so cool. The verity of fossils you find on that beech is crazy.
Awesome information, I just Subscribed!
Amaizing fossils..
This is so amazing the preparation. Please could you explain the tool that uses air to melt away so to speak the shale to 3zpose the fossil.
I love your channel. I miss being back home in Yorkshire.
The shop you sell your logo Yorkshire Fossils should be on that. A t-shirt showing an amonite with Yorkshire Fossils.
Hey how do you not damage the fossil when digging it out with the drill?
What head are you using for the dremel?
What is that tool used around the 4 minute mark?
Was that a sort of sand blaster used on crinoid or air
It was indeed an air abrasive tool
Hi whts tht tool u are using please 4 mins into video please x
I know its noisy but could you explain the tools you use. How & why etc ....its very important, patience is needed for this.
So beautiful.
Fascinating being able to see life 180 million years ago. Thanks for posting . Is the tool you are using simply blowing high pressure air , or is it akin to sand blasting ?
Hi. What are the tools you are using? 😄 Great Content. 👍🏻 It's very satisfying to watch
Love these videos, but it would be great if you mentioned the location you are at while out hunting
what tools do you guys use for preparing these fossils? im really interested with this , well not just the cleaning part, but fossil hunting in general
At 0:41 there is another fossil in frame. Do you know what it is? I have something similar and can't figure out what it is.
Hi, great channel. I’ve been watching your videos with my 5 year old son and he is really excited to get out hunting post lock down. We went to Port Mulgrave pre lock down and he made some great finds. The only challenge was actually getting down to the beach as access was poor. Can you recommend other rich locations with easier access? Cheers.
I have got interested in what you are doing with the Aminights after you find them, and now you have shown us, Great, but what were you using at 3.25 =. Was it air to strip the rock or was it something else? Great Channel.
I'm interested in hunting stones, called suiseki. Your hobby is collection fossils. I hope we'll be a good friend. Full watch and subscription.
Hey man, what tool is that you're using at roughly 4 minute mark? 🙂. Enjoying the vids! Inspiring
Can someone tell me what to put on my fossils to make sure they stay well preserved?
Guess i missed the part where we desribes the tool he uses.. is it sand blasting?
It is indeed an air abrasive tool :)
@@YorkshireFossils I'm in the states, no competition for you, but I'm frustrated at no solid answer on the tools that you use. Could you be more specific, talk about tools you dislike and what you chose and why? please???
@@rcfstovesfireplaces3860 The tool I was asked about is an air abrasive tool and is offered by many manufacturers. The air pens are also offered by many manufacturers, we personally use Ken Mannion or ZOIC Palaeotech
What tools are you using?
Where do you guys find these almost perfectly round rocks? Even the empty ones are spectacular. Ide be happy to just find that awesome rock!!
Have you ever found pliosaurus tooth fossil in that site?
Very fascinating!! One question: do you sell some of the fossils?
So I am binge watching some older posts and wondered if you know why so many ammonites die in the same place (deathbeds)?
What is the tool you used to expose the ammonite?
These are air pneumatic tools from ZOIC Palaeotech and Ken Mannion
Just subbed, enjoy the videos very much!
Quick question (Anyone who knows can answer)
Are there any rules in regards to collecting ammonytes etc?
Used to collect fossils when I was a lot younger and would love to take this up as a hobby but have no idea in regards to rules (I'm sure there are some) etc.
Thanks in advance for any information/ help.
Hello ! Im Armold, Im ftom the Philippines ! The ammonites that you find there in your place are beautiful and small in size. I have seen in another youtube channel, a fossil hunter from Texas, the ones he finds in his place are the large kinds of Ammonites. I like the ones that you find there in your place. Do you sell your fossil finds ! I would love to buy one of your nice ammonite finds just like what you showed in this video. I wonder how much they.would cost ?
Hi.
I'm thinking of visiting the area this week coming.
First time fossil hunting as I usually purchase straight from the retailers.
Can you recommend any places to stay overnight?
Hello from indonesia 👍
Where are you? I really hope you are well and healthy.
Can you get these tools any cheaper? I don't feel like spending 750+ including compressor
Can someone explain how the machine he uses to prepare the crinoid work.
Is it air he blows at it?
Does it not break the fossil?
The first part of the prepping is a kind of Airbrush with different types of iron-powder. Its like sandblasting. Those prepping tools work electric or with air pressure.
The same with the pneumatic stylus later in the video.
Have a nice day, greets from Munich, Bavaria!
To prepare fossils needs time to learn about how to do. You can even study it. And for sure, you have to be very careful not to destroy the fossil while prepping it. Everybody broke some fossils by beginning to learn about this kind of work...thats a fact.
@@huenchen82 thank u i was curious. Also hello from limerick ireland
Would the air scribe destroy the actual fossilized part very easily or is it much harder than the surrounding matrix? Thanks for sharing this!
The fossil is usually softer, so it's easy to accidentally 'dink' it with the pens - you have to be really careful! My dad usually prepares our fossils as he is really experienced with fossil preparation, glad you like the video :) I've got another preparation video to come shortly
How does that not destroy the fossil too? 4:16
Need a mic with wind sock on it hard to hear you
Do you do this to your own stuff or do you get someone else to do it, what is that machine/grinder thing called.😊
6:40. Its almost a relaxing video. Slowly revealing it. MOre of that maybe?
I will bear that in mind for the next vid!
Do you sell your fossil finds ? If Yes, i would love to buy just even a small one of your ammonites that you find fossilized inside one of those round rocks.
What do you do with hundreds of ammonites? Sell them?
Then film could not be understand because of the wind. The gentleman did not mention the tools he used.
