Got ya a new place to hunt in Texas.. Ladonia about 3 hours East of Dallas on hwy 30. "Sulphur River." Many shells, pyrite suns, aquatic dinosaur bones, teeth, giant turtle shells, bison bones and Indian artifacts. Best part.. the ground is grey and all the fossils are black. Great area for kids and adults alike. Your video was great 😎

[@icatz]

Great stuff! I fossil hunted in Texas and they were virtually everywhere. Best luck I've ever had.

[@pauliether.c.guy.3349]

Thank you for that lovely video this so many things about ancient sea life that I knew about or should I say I didn't know about this was what 500 million years ago during the Great Cambrian explosion or was it the late Permian. Or the Permian Extinction

Wonderful pleasure to see a young person post a very informative video and take the time to narrated showing her interest and knowledge to the world. I have no doubt but this young lady will grow up to be a scientist and accomplish great things. Thank you young lady for sharing this with all of us I cannot tell you how impressed a lot of people probably are I thoroughly enjoyed it

[@adamderdzikowski1571]

Magnificent fossils.

[@pauledwards465]

We have an area in the south west uk called Jurassic coast ... An ancient sea bed is being washed out and there have been some fantastic fossil finds including ichyosaurs some full b sized.. thousands of amonites some huge.

[@KOIstories]

Hi Paul. Thank for the comment. One day, I'll visit the Jurassic coast for sure.

Fantástico! Que maravilha poder contemplar os primórdios da vida, em nosso planeta. Parabéns a dedicação dos pesquisadores. 🙏💕👏👏👏

[@concernedamericanpawn6215]

Great job

[@MrMarleen851]

Wow thats a cool vid I❤fossils

[@TreasureTracker]

Very interesting! We're these found in north Texas?

[@nealdo132]

Very nice video. It's a good intro to the Pennsylvanian fossils of Texas. The book used for identification has been revised with color pictures and some mistakes corrected. One example it the sponge Girtycoelia. You should swap the identification labels on these and Girtyocoelia since the book had it backwards.

[@KOIstories]

Thanks for the comment! Indeed, Amazon has new version of this book dated 2012. I guess it's never late to add the correction. Thanks again for doing it for my video!

[@emojiking8580]

Cool 🤚😎👍

[@stinkycatz]

Berry interesting . Coooooool finds .

[@KOIstories]

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it!

[@DardS8Br]

I knew every one and still liked it HAHAHAHAHAHA

[@KOIstories]

Thank you, kind sir.

[@bforman1300]

'Some kind of coral' - much smaller and less well-defined but the shape is very similar to a fossil sand dollar I have

[@waynesanchez6504]

NICE! In my Alabama county we find 300-400 MYO coal plant fossils. Do you SELL these by the pound?

[@KOIstories]

Hi Wayne. Thanks for the comment. One day, I would like to find a few chunks of sigillaria and lepidodendron. No we do not sell these Texas treasures. They are souvenirs of the past, when the world was young.

[@bwgracia3058]

Nice...

[@carllewis166]

good book I have one of Illinois and have found a few hundred trilobites.

[@nirvanamadpaul]

it's just not the same in the UK :(

[@paulgillis1945]

not the same but nice I was in northern Texas, along the red river I was fossil hunting. but those I never found

[@MegaCool86]

Интересные экспонаты

[@andu4384]

😍

[@Knaeben]

So... what is the location??

[@KOIstories]

Hi Kaeben, the specimens are from different localities, mostly from roadcuts around Lake Bridgeport lake, Jacksboro, Mineral Wells (see also kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZ3GqZmsrpaNqpI)

[@keithkraushaar8127]

Where is this location?

[@KOIstories]

Hi Keith, it's from multiple locations. Mostly Mineral Wells, Jacksboro and around Lake Bridgeport. If you want to collect, I would suggest Mineral Wells Fossil Park "www.mineralwellsfossilpark.com/" . Good luck and many thanks for watching and subscribing.

[@sydlee2055]

are you sure those are not alien? lol

[@jimreimer6140]

I am becoming more convinced than ever that these fossils were formed during the time of Noah's flood.

[@sabin1166]

Fairy tales are not real.

[@jimreimer6140]

What you and I believe does not change reality! There will come a time when you will change your mind but it may well be too late. Just because you wish there is no God,does not change the fact that He does exist! There will come a time when you will stand before Him and give account of the deeds you have done while here on earth. Eternity is deathly long! Now is the only time you have to make sure you have it right.

[@Dmell2]

Noah...300 million years ago? Humans were not even around!

[@bobby1602]

no blastoids

[@KOIstories]

none were found

[@matthewfredrickmfkrz1934]

The devil put dinosaurs here

[@KOIstories]

No, the dinosaurs were the devils but they got extinct and this is why we do not see them nowadays.

[@ryann2515]

All the dislikes are from paleontologists

[@KOIstories]

I guess... Thanks for watching!
