Hi David! I was looking forward to your comment! How much press is the article getting over there?

[@davidthomas6859]

@@CharlestonFossilAdventures Yes all over the news ,different forums and fb sites .If you can get the BBC it featured on the program Digging for Britain Which is an Archaeology program (very interesting as well )they don’t normally do Palaeontology.

I live in the UK and while on holiday in the isle of wight I was looking for bait called knuckle muscle and its found near the sea shore. As I was searching I stood on some fossilized tree stumps and had no clue how old and rare they were until I watched the local news on TV, it showed the stumps I had walked on and even showed My footprints in the soft mud as a guy was talking about the fossilized trees. I was like wow 😮😂 true story.

Hey real quick I got a question do we have Icthyosaurs and plesiosaur fossils in the Carolina’s

[@CharlestonFossilAdventures]

Hi Gus, great question! We do have records of plesiosaur fossils coming out of the northern shorelines of SC from Cretaceous deposits. Thanks for watching!

No problem that’s great to know thanks

Shaped just like My bearded dragon.

Indeed! It’s fascinating to look at reptiles and birds of today, imagining their prehistoric ancestors. Thanks for watching, Jennie!
