We Found Huge MAMMOTH Bones in a New Honey Hole

[@DiggingScience]

The icon of the Ice Age... the Mammoth. Holding bones from these extinct animals is such a rush and unique way to connect to Florida's prehistory. Make sure to subscribe to come along on all of our adventures!

[@wendynewberry6283]

What area of Florida you in? Central? Somewhat north? Looks very similar to areas around us.

[@DiggingScience]

@@wendynewberry6283 I hunt all across Florida from the Caloosahatchee to the St. Marys!

[@andrewcarwile8499]

Digging Science have you ever found a chunk of tusk? We found a massive piece yesterday, about 20” long and 5” wide at the wide point

[@DiggingScience]

@@andrewcarwile8499 we have, I'd love to see yours. Feel free to message us on our facebook page. Https://facebook.com/diggingscience

[@andrewcarwile8499]

Digging Science will do!

[@DidntKnowWhatToPut1]

Finding the fossils is one thing, but it's great you are able to ID them on the fly so you don't leave us hanging! Big respect.

[@damonj606]

Just wondering, could you do a video of your fossil collection, I think it would be an awesome video

[@DiggingScience]

My collection is all over the place. In different museums across the Southeast. I WILL do a video, but not until after I can visit all the museums I have fossils at so it will be awhile.

[@damonj606]

Sweet that's cool,thank you for the awesome videos. See you on the next video

[@Seeker-Recordings]

@@DiggingScience Just curious, am I missing it, or did you ever make a collection video? Thanks

[@DiggingScience]

I retired myself as an administrator on several big fossil administration sites. This KZbin channel has my full endorsement, as they always seem spot on,,,and, also, they’re a bit fun. Kudos guys,,, keep at it. And yes, slip of the tongue, it’s a scapula, not a fibula, but you guys immediately corrected that. Again, kudos,,,

[@FLtrailblazer]

Wow very nice adventure and exploration of Florida’s past! I often explore rivers and creeks way off the beaten path and you can’t help but sense the history in these places.

[@rickcruz3382]

Another fun video to watch thank you and please keep it up !

[@davidandingem.644]

Amazing! Makes me want to go out and search also even though they only thing I would recognize are shark teeth. I got a jar full of them; found at Casperson Beach where even the blind find plenty. Don't forget to take us along the next time.....thank you!

[@limesmd3573]

Fun to watch! Greetings from The Netherlands

[@DiggingScience]

Glad you enjoyed it! Much love from Florida!

[@andreawashnak6840]

Another great video, very informative and interesting love how you find the fossil and then cut to show it at home with more info.

[@DiggingScience]

We think it really adds to what people get from the video!

[@labanbarker3171]

Such an awesome video!!! I think it would be cool to watch too if you do some shark teeth hunting videos as well but even if u don’t ill still love your videos

[@DiggingScience]

We plan on doing some more shark tooth hunting videos absolutely!

[@ethanhawtin7561]

Amazing video thank you for sharing 😁👍

[@DiggingScience]

Thanks for watching!

[@RunningGrass-we7tm]

Absolutely love your videos

[@DiggingScience]

Thank you! We really appreciate the support!

[@jayniestanley4730]

Luv these videos. I have learned so much from u. Awesome 👍😎

[@stanleydaniels100]

The finds just keep getting better and better! Like Christmas presents every day!

[@willbejamming1532]

Great finds as usual. What is the articulated bone next to the flashlight @12:13?

[@DiggingScience]

It is either a Giant Tortoise or Alligator limb bone :)

[@jduncan3154]

Better viz than I expect from the look at the surface. Great hunt.

[@ExploringwithDaveElsender]

That mastodon toe bone is huge. Amazing buddy. Class. 👍💪

[@musiclegends1208]

Great Video

[@NoelBarcelona]

Wow that's a real good find!

[@DiggingScience]

Was such an awesome hunt!

[@JaneEllenMusic]

You're going to have to buy a mansion to hold all your cool finds!. Congrats on more amazing discoveries!

[@DiggingScience]

I just want to make enough money to do what I love full time!

@@DiggingScience that right there is the dream

[@christopherwenner7786]

What a great area!I'm in North Florida the water is dark but I still find alot of Mammal fossils.and yes I pull out the garbage.

[@DiggingScience]

It's crazy how there is always trash. Even in the most remote areas...

[@nickrosenthal4252]

Awesome video! I think that the possible reptile bone that you found is a phalange/toe bone.

[@mollyhollypollydolly8760]

Thanks for taking the time to show us the name and some interesting facts about the fossil!! (And in the description box)Other videos can be very vague on what they show and give little to no details for ppl who have no idea what they are looking at😂 *pictures would be awesome as well

[@DiggingScience]

Thanks for the feedback! It takes extra time, but it is worth it to teach people about this unique history!

[@MK2DETEC]

very nice video 👍🏻

Why thank you! :) Make sure to subscribe if you haven't already to come on all our fossil hunting adventures!

@@DiggingScience Dont worry, je suis abonné. Nice teeth 🐴👍🏻

[@andreafaggi5640]

That unknown bone that you though to be a reptile bone isn't it a broken calcaneum?

[@DiggingScience]

That seems like you might be on to something! I will have to take a better look at it! Thanks for the advice.

[@carolbonnell6675]

This is what I love to watch.

[@DiggingScience]

Why thank you! I hope you stay tuned for all of our adventures!

[@YsabetJustYsabet]

NICE finds! Man, if I found that monster toe-bone you'd be able to hear me screaming two states away. Loved that little raccoon-jaw in particular-- I wonder how far back the current version of raccoon goes? Might have to look that up. Thanks for picking up trash, btw-- not every fossil-hunter does, only the good ones.

[@lynxclan4806]

Cool finds

[@DiggingScience]

Appreciate it!

[@Doxymeister]

Awesome haul today, woo-hoo! Say, in a couple of spots in the video, I'm hearing a low-pitched consistent clicking sound. Is that fish communicating, or is that part of your breathing apparatus I hear? Great video, thank you!

[@DiggingScience]

Thanks for the support! It is probably just my dive regulator!

[@johnwanderin3872]

I believe that larva was that of a Dobsonfly, aka the Hellgrammite, or an Alderfly

[@americanrebel413]

Awesome!

[@Jarod-vg9wq]

Do you give these to museums?

[@davidbee8793]

I'm curious if you ever collect any Native American stone artifacts that you must have encountered in your underwater adventures. Always enjoy your educational videos.

[@DiggingScience]

No, unfortunately. I do have a nice collection of artifacts found on my family's farm though!

[@baxlife334]

Is there any possibility with the amount of fossils in this river that there maybe bones in the ground near the riverbanks?

[@thestrikingtruth7]

Those horse teeth look like AK 47 magazines. 🤣

[@ralsharp6013]

Brilliant ...

[@chir0pter]

Are all these reworked and there's no hope of finding more complete remains? Is there a source they are eroding out of, or did they erode and redeposit long ago?

[@manuelermeti9682]

What river did you go to?

[@scodavcole2550]

Came across this by accident but just loved it! (you've got some beautiful lips Bro)

[@Akumacom]

Hey guys. Do you pick up the garbage you find while diving and recycle it or do you leave it there?

[@DiggingScience]

We carry as much as we can out, like the Bud Light can! But often that is much less than we would like. When we go to spots like this without boat access it is even more difficult.

[@dwightpickens2895]

Question do any museums ever buy from you I think that you do great videos

[@VincentNajger1]

Some museums etc see this as 'looting' and its frowned upon.

[@triple_A_rockhound]

Damn goodies galour

[@DiggingScience]

Loaded with HONEY ;)

[@triple_A_rockhound]

[@jefftrag1956]

Next time you are in Tlaquepaque Jalisco Mexico I will buy you an agave beer!

[@DiggingScience]

I've got to go there first before I can ever return ;)

[@oklahomanativeexploration7546]

The bone you asked for help identifying. He said he thought it might be a vertebrae of a deer. It looks like the thoracic vertebrae of a bison.

[@dramaqueen121214]

So Valentine, when are we going fossil hunting?

[@DiggingScience]

Let's go kayaking on the Peace with some friends. Picnic, sun, and fossils!

[@dramaqueen121214]

Digging Science when!!

[@clintonmorris8222]

That looked like a mammoth task

[@Biggie_Cheese1234]

I wish I had one of those fossils the only fossil I have is a fossilized horse tooth

[@Ratredslayer]

In the 5th grade my school had a rock garden and there was a mammoth sholder bone in it and no one believed me umtill this laddy came to the school with the exact same fossil and i ran out there and brought it back and all the adults tripped out

[@evdallas123]

Where does your knowledge of identifying the finds come from?

[@DiggingScience]

Years of doing it, formal study at the University of South Florida, and ID books :)

[@michaelanderson9792]

@@DiggingScience ok 61 age I just watch your channel i learning a lot

[@gavinsmitty23]

why are there lots of fossils in Florida? so strange how there are so many animals species around there!

[@wynandwessels5418]

Bone at 09:45 looks like a dolphin humerus.

[@katherinenoggle6407]

How DO you recognize all those bones?? I'm thinking "weird rock....ugly rock....funny shaped rock....ooh, maybe that's something? Nah, just a rock." You've got a good eye and some serious knowledge.

[@rickcruz3382]

That one looked like a T-bone (T-bone steak)

[@bruceybrew]

How do camels become extinct?

[@DiggingScience]

A combination of factors, environmental climate change related to the Younger Dryas asteroid impact as well as human predation being the two largest contributors for the end Pleistocene extinction event.

[@MichaelDavis-zf6nt]

It's hard to tell but right after you said mosquito ridden I believe one landed on your forehead.

[@johnstewart2656]

The bone you could not identify is a fragmentary calcaneum of an ungulate.

[@paddyodriscoll8648]

By the way, tarsals and carpals, and, metacarpals and metatarsals, are not called, “Toe bones”,,, “phalanges” are the toe bones. Just trying to get the lingo right here.

[@donaldscott7279]

You do it so we don't have to, camels in Florida who would've thought

[@DiggingScience]

I do it because I love to ;) I would have loved to see all the incredible animals that once called Florida home.
