Come Fossil Hunting With Me - Ammonites, Sea Urchins, Minerals & More - In France 👀

[@heycarrieann]

Umm, I am OBSESSED with both fossils AND nail polish!!!

[@wdh2880]

Congratulations on the many different finds! I never find anything there, but then again, I only visit when the sun is shining :-)

[@donaldbrizzolara1217]

Em: I’m the same way with fossils. I immediately want to wack it open to expose it or to trim excess rock off. But...I have learned thru the “school of hard knocks” that too many valuable fossils are destroyed that way. It is best to keep cool and pack it out (even if it is too heavy) and, in a more controlled and comfortable setting, to assess the piece and carefully prep it. Loved the video and would be most interested in the nature of your class work.

[@jaerondizon8294]

Recently found ur channel, and so far im allready interested on your videos. Hope you keep up.

[@Amberscape]

Gorgeous finds! im so jelly for these locations you're hunting at! the little fossils which you didnt show too long - loved these ^^. Nice video:)

[@ydargkeeton4167]

Allways a pleasure to see your beautiful smile, going to the beach with you, finding treasure, and spending time with the prettiest girl I know. 😁🎶🎵

[@TYPHOON1B]

Brilliant Em.. ...and we like fossils nearly as much as we like you!!.. ..and your nails..❤❤💘 ...thanks for posting and the nearly smile you gave us while walking on the beach was lovely..😁❤❤

[@GotGreatFood]

Love the video Em! Hope school is going well. Nice finds as well, wish I could find ammonites where I live they are soooo interesting and beautiful.

[@themagicman20081]

the nail polish is nice you have beautiful nails your coaster tree was very nice stay warm stay safe

[@wizeguiz]

Thanks for taking us along! You are awesome and I love your finds! 😊

[@andrewsmail8307]

Excellent video, thanks. I too collect a vast amounts of fossils and stones from Norfolk on east coast of England. I found a smart sea urchin in Poole and have an ammonite embossed into a septarian nodule, very rare apparently, also found several echinoids. Love collecting stones and fossils and remarking on what some of the things I find actually once were. I too plan to make a video and currently sorting my stone collection into types; including what I call 'ringers or clingers' - they are typically elongated and make certain frequency/resonance when they are chimed. I got about 20 of these I have sorted and plan to suspend the stones into like a kind of harp. Good luck in your studies :)

[@Treasurehunter11001]

Great finds Em , gonna try cracking open some pyrite nodules after seeing this the thought never crossed my mind that they could look so cool inside

[@petehall889]

Hi Emma! I really enjoyed your video (as always!). Love the gastropod and nice complete ammonite - they're great. As for the attempts to remove the matrix in the field, you just have to be the nicest ammonite murderer I know :o) The voice-over was a sensible decision, given the windy day. Take care and good luck with your exam!

[@EnragedSeaCow]

Wow! awesome, i bet that beach would be so cool with a UV light at night, to find those luminous gemstones. that coral you found too should look neat under a uv light!

[@almontepaolilli7531]

Nice blog with many more fossils than normal, great job.

[@EmGems]

Thank you so much! 🦕

[@boubakar5168]

Comme toujours super em jadore 😊

[@AA1891]

So many different fossils and jellyfish 😄

[@zikx676]

wait wait wait where is this beach???? i live in france and i love rockhounding, this place is filled with marcasites (a cousin of pyrite, which is why you found so much of it there)

[@K1ngL0uisX1X]

Ok, seemed like a bit of a rough day at the office at times but I really appreciate you adding those tougher moments and disappointments too. Still all looked super fun though 👍🦑🦐🐚⚒ Good luck with your exam too 💕

[@DieterHaeussler]

You are too cute not to watch, cool changing color nails. Come down to Guatemala, it's 66 F. or 19 C right now, plenty of chupacabra fossils and such. Good luck on your exams!

[@bdedwards9371]

I like exploring the beach and seeing what can be found. Your expedition was very productive, finding a variety of fossils, minerals and some current day creatures. The gastropod fossil was really cool. The wind whipping in from the sea had to be producing some dreadful windchills! Seeing your hands without gloves, made me cold. I think the narration after recording the video is good, unless you want to invest in a microphone with a cover. Take care and best of luck with your studies.

[@rickypatterson8973]

The pink nails (BTW) were totally competitive as to subject matter!😁

[@billrobbins5874]

Nice fossil finds. Please wear safety glasses/goggles when hammering. Good luck on your studies.

[@blackmamba7845]

That barb could be possibly a spine of shark/ray, but could maybe be a stem of a sea lily. Im not great at identification though. Great find!

[@rickypatterson8973]

Thanks again for a wonderful adventure! EM, You’ve sold me on the idea of coming from the U.S. to collect fossils! Although it will be in a year or so,...by way of preparing, you’ve mentioned permitting for fossil collection. Could you please share the relevant authorities to contact for simple beach collecting on your beautiful Yorkshire coast. No digging, but the occasional smacking of ammonite nodules would be a goal. Thank you for any help. r.

[@Dan-56]

Obviously the best fossil hunting in France is not on the warm sandy beaches in the South 😆. Even with all the “destructions” you came home with some very nice examples 😃👍. And yes, we do enjoy your quirky color changing nails 😉.

[@jefftrag1956]

It would be nice to here about your studies related to geology, minerals, fossils. Not a lot of detail but quick explanations about what your week in the classroom was like. Like this week we study plate tectonics and I thought this part was really cool etc. Those are not finger nails of a serious fossil collector! Hahahaha

[@jamesaolsen1196]

Hey there! Just a quick note to encourage you to use eye protection when you hammer away at unlocking all the treasures you find. :-)

[@HarmoniaAAxyridis]

Where in France are you? I'm assuming its in Bretagne, but where exactly? I love your videos!!!! 🥰

[@EmGems]

Cap blanc nez 😊 thank you! ❤️

[@bobby76400]

Great hunting... Where were you in France ?

[@EmGems]

Cap Blanc Nez 😊

[@bobby76400]

@@EmGems very good place to find fossils !!!

[@Serial_Coelacanth]

im going to France and i'm wondering where this is because i would absolutely love to go here!

[@wildpanda6627]

Its the Cap Blanc Nez near Calais, i know this place because its where i hunt for fossils(im french)

[@sandramartin5155]

Will the jellies sting still we have some that can if there on the beach

[@EmGems]

Yes they can still sting even after they are dead/washed up! so be careful :)

[@jefftrag1956]

You need to coat the pyrite with that stuff you use (can't think of the name) and that will enhance the color and keep it from oxidizing.

[@Finn-gw9hh]

Around what place is this in France?

[@TheSebiestor]

fossil hunting in nail varnish ❤

[@peterbonapace7124]

Hi Em - I think the ammonite at 8.10 is actualy a nautiloid, probably Cymatoceras

[@EmGems]

Yes you're right! I didn't realise 😍 I'm so excited to see how it turns out 🤞

[@bryanmullan5644]

Lovely finds. Was this in the UK?

[@EmGems]

Thank you 😊 France 😁

[@cherrybopbop]

I swear when you said ‘this is me going back to the car’ the video contained a dinosaur footprint negative you stepped over. Exactly the same as Isle of Wight. Have a look!

[@zanelembatha5867]

❤❤❤❤

[@carllewis166]

It’s really that cold already ? Last year when I was in ireland 🇮🇪 with my English wife living there it wasn’t that cold yet. Oh boy , might be a brutal winter.

Door stop delivered by the sea

[@TheAmmoniteHunter]

That nautilus is a rare find in CBN! 9:39 is a schloenbachia varians

[@EmGems]

Omg I didn't realise! I was so sad when it didn't survive 💔

Still enjoy your "fingernails"!!! haha And what is you masters degree you are working on? Vantoee WOULD love your clothes!!hahahahahhaha

[@EmGems]

It's a Geology Master's :) Hahah EmGems is way too stylish for Vantoee :P

[@johngiromini5745]

Just sitting on the beach. You might want to use eye protection 'cause you can't imagine the pain from taking a stone chip in the eye.

[@yonashendrickx6160]

Wher is this

[@rickypatterson8973]

PPS I decided to lump several questions together on the one clip... I collect mostly Echinoids in Southern United States, but would love to learn more about those of Europe. If you want to recommend any books or resources, or ever want to talk about fossil exchanges for the same purposes... Ricky Patterson 3197 Morningdale Dr. Mount Pleasant, S. C. 29466 U.S. A. 😁

[@StefanM83]

where is the amber with the dinosaur DNA

[@louislouis5521]

6:36 i think its marcassite
