Texas DROUGHT Exposing 3D FOSSILS In CREEKS!!

[@serendipitysal2003]

I live in Texas, and the lack of rain has been terrible for everyone. The ammonites you found are fabulous!

[@shinykazzadragon]

When you left that coral fossil, I nearly cried. It was huge, and gorgeous.

[@shinykazzadragon]

The ammonites are wonderful, too.

[@prettywoman7776]

Yes, that horn coral was huge!

It's crazy how you can just go out and find these amazing fossils

[@historyhunter5215]

They are EVERYWHERE here in Central Tx

[@a.d.marshall2748]

No, just crazy that people believe they are millions of years old when you can find them in a creek.

[@direstraights]

@@a.d.marshall2748 lol... It's only b/c they're under water dead... Snail shells.

[@a.d.marshall2748]

@@direstraights water erodes fossils. It erodes everything. But you keep on believing in "65,000,000 years" then you found it in a creek.

[@thebobsmith1991]

I want one so cool

[@loverofnature224]

It is sad to see how hard this drought is hitting Texas. Glad you were able to get some use out of it. I am a fellow rock collector. Have been collecting since I was a kid. I have lots of stones and crystals. I don't have an ammonite yet but they are so neat. Stay hydrated and cool in this heat.

[@cavelvlan25]

Random. NW missouri. Found a partial ammonite eroded out of a field on a hilltop. I know erosion is detrimental to environmental health but man j would love to see what is under alllllll this dirt.

[@jaedacortes2420]

Blows my mind how big they are! Never thought I'd see them in that size, very interesting. Definitely learn something new everyday.

[@traceykays433]

Hey it's Texas everything's bigger in Texas

[@billpickle1094]

Gotta love those safety meetings. Great channel. Have a nice day

[@zepar221]

I used to love fossil hunting as a kid...if I knew of a creek like that around where I lived, I would totally be out there collecting.

[@freeto9139]

Yeah! Reminds me of hiking around Eagle Mountain Lake in the '50's ... Some things never change; once an explorer, always an explorer!!! Great time in nature. Wish I could join in ⛏️

Oh I'd love one of those!! Greetings from Athens Greece! Prayers ofcourse for rain

My husband would be in heaven, he teaches fossils and minerals, etc at the Clyde Austin 4-H Center in Greeneville, Tn. And is a collector ! The kids call him the Rock Guy 😆. We started collecting by accident years ago in Nebraska, started finding fossilized camel and horse bone and now since then this is His ❤️ Love Thank You for Sharing

[@laurenscott161]

I live in tx and I am so glad I came across your page. I love collecting rocks and gems and fossils. one day i hope to be able to go there and get some ammonite of my own.

[@GeraldBlack1]

Your channel is truly a gem. Keep living the dream!

[@GotoHere]

I took geology in high school and many classes at a university. A very interesting subject. We went to a small abandoned rock quarry in the city of Chicago. The place was loaded with fossils of creatures and plants that we had learned about. The gang bangers in the neighborhood had no idea what was in their backyard.

[@48thstateprospecting]

That giant black rock could definitely be a piece of the meteorite that created the Gulf of Mexico and wiped out the dinosaurs…. Take a 4” grinder with you next time and cut off a little section and check the inside with a magnifier if there’s little flecks of metal and it Is a meteorite you can retire great adventure and finds thanks for sharing see you on the next one👍🏼👊🏼

not likely..

[@fingernailplays5602]

This river is in fort worth how would it end up in fort worth

[@patldennis]

@@fingernailplays5602 Well that's not really a valid objection. There is most likely ejecta from that impact hurtling through space at this very moment and on the moon! The iridium layer from that meteorite was first noticed in Italy iirc. The Tanis fossil site in Colorado has fish with glass spherules (silicate particles from vaporized rock).

[@virginiakeim]

Wow, this is insane to see. I keep hearing of things being uncovered in ice after it keeps melting, I didn’t forgot about the same happening in bodies of water right now.

[@megapint1626]

Horrible to be in drought, but you’re taking advantage of the conditions to your favor. Great job

[@debbieyoung3810]

So sorry about the drought! It must be awful. Sad to see the creek beds dried up. Hoping for slow gentle rains that lasts for days and days. Very cool finds!

You're a real dude easy to see why you're having success, just ripped a safety meeting myself n watching this!

It makes me happy to see you back out at ammonite creek. Its such a magical place and its so weird to see the water levels so low!

You guys need it so badly! hang in there! Remember to hydrate frequently, and take frequent safety meeting!
