Fossil Hunter Cracks Open Huge Limestone Rock! Ammonites, Crinoid, Shells, Wood, Ichthyosaur Jaws

Here is another video from one of our fossil hunts, make sure to stick around to the end of the video to see the special fossil at the end! This time, a Jurassic Ichthyosaur Jaw filled with sharp teeth! This is an insight into the past, what life was like 180 Million Years Ago even before many of the most famous land-dwelling Dinosaurs ever existed.

Thank you for this! I'm relieved that you all are OK--and back to fossil-hunting. Fascinating

[@Mountlougallops]

Another incredible video. So cool that take us along to that very special shoreline(s) as you know how to find the moments in ancient history and to hold that ichthyosaur jaw must be mind blowing. Great work preserving it and all of your fossils. Thanks 🙏🏽

[@davidthomas6859]

Another good video with stunning finds lads,keep them coming for those who can’t get to a beach.👍⚒

[@luana1600]

Just beautiful ! The dinosaur footprint and the Ichthyosaur jaw are magnificent!!

[@arqueologaroxyrodriguez2527]

Hello, I just saw your KZbin channel, I love your work, I am Mexican, in the region where I live, Monterrey Nuevo León, it is desert and there are many fociles, I am an Archaeologist but I love geology and paleontology, many greetings

[@DonzLockz]

Wow, that jaw and teeth fossil is amazing! Such a beautiful piece to have intact like that.

[@davidalejandrokurodriguez5816]

The Ichthyosaur jaws are one of the most beautiful fossils that l see,thanks for sharing :)

[@YorkshireFossils]

You’re most welcome, I absolutely adore them as well! One of my favourite pieces and a great memory finding it, thanks for watching :)

[@steves7022]

Amazing fossils, great videos, what is the beach that you do your hunting on, I mostly go to lyme regis and Charmouth Thanks steve

[@gb57hevy3]

One of the very best fossil vids I have seen.

[@robertterrell3065]

This episode was awesome! Two beautiful ammonites, and the ichthyosaur jaws, also :) I'm glad I found your channel.

[@S550STANG]

It's truly amazing how something so old can be so well preserved! Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦

[@deborahgrantham7387]

Calgary has many well preserved fossils

[@S550STANG]

@@deborahgrantham7387 I lived in drumheller for a few years. I know all about it haha

[@fossilhuntress]

A wonderful place to collect. I loved walking the beach with you. That ichthyosaur jaw at the end is inspiring! As is the pile of unprepped goodies that hold ammonites and nautilius - and joy for years to come!

[@marcingoscicki9433]

Cracking open a huge limestone nodule with the boys. Love it.

[@YorkshireFossils]

Thank you, nothing better than opening those stones!

[@YorkshireFossils]

@Sybe's Search It certainly does! Especially when there's lobsters/bones/fish inside etc. These are much rarer but still happen every now and again!

[@claytonskids6764]

Excellent, informative video...thank you👍🤗

[@yorkshirelass8786]

I find these videos so relaxing. I want to drive to the coast and go fossil hunting now. I never knew we had so many interesting fossils in Yorkshire.

[@gemstonejudy5900]

Amazing finds! Great job!

[@williamj.rieger8965]

Thanks, great video, the jaw is really special, hope to see it completed. Thanks. Bill

[@mariagood9121]

Amazing find, the jaw is. A whole cryniod. Wow. Thank you for posting

[@michaelweeks9317]

Well done and Thank you from Texas!

[@jmemarie1137]

I live in Sealbeach California and unfortunately nowhere near a beach that has amazing fossils on it. I really enjoy watching you guys find these amazing fossils. Thank you for videotaping them for us to watch

[@billrobbins5874]

The ammonite(?) was delightful, not huge.

[@lesleyb26]

Brilliant as always, love watching what you find :)

[@YorkshireFossils]

Thank you, I hope you enjoyed it!

[@morgan4212]

Great job,really enjoy watching your videos

[@jarmyvicious]

Nice on the Crinoid find, the world famous Crawfordsville Crinoid Beds are just down the highway from me... the teeth and jaw you are working at has quite the eye appeal! Cheers!

[@Kirsten._._]

Another enjoyable video guys! I’ll never get bored of seeing the seaside. The variety of fossils that are easily visible is interesting to see as well. 🙂

[@YorkshireFossils]

Thank you! That’s kind of you to say. There’s plenty of variety in both fossils and nature at the coast isn’t there 🦖🦕

[@Kirsten._._]

@@YorkshireFossils It’s always changing too, a little different every time you go. So awesome.

[@respectanimals2]

Really enjoyed the video , fantastic jaw at the end , amazing 👍😎

[@jamescherry2082]

Somebody took a sneaky dump behind a tree 🌲💩 and got caught 2 million yrs later 🤪

[@Sweetlyfe]

That’s a great Fossil it looks amazing. I just subbed from Australia. Hope you and your family are doing well all things considered. Take care

[@bonniegiebfried278]

Great finds n video

[@CelticDruidess1]

What a beautiful area for observing/collecting fossils!

[@cheshirelasslani3939]

That one little nodule is a beautiful specimen and to watch you open it and expose I gasped and said “ that’s a beauty”! 👍🏼👍🏼 good find mate

[@BeFree-BeFrugal]

Just found your channel great video. I love the coast I live in Yorkshire and whenever I can I go

[@Yet1moreUtuber]

Always get jived when you upload, your vids are *Fire* dude. Hey to Shae ! 👍

[@YorkshireFossils]

That’s very kind of you to say, thank you!! Shae says hey!

[@jolujo5842]

Love the iron pyrite coated ammolite! Gorgeous!

[@gerrardjones28]

Relaxing and enjoyable video as always, great finds especially at the end, Yorkshire has really good fossils, I live in mersyside do you know anything about the fossils there anyway great channel.

[@seanleith5312]

I don't like how modern cameras automatically adjust light based on amount of light in the view, that's most stupid thing ever, and it became a standard. If you move the camera up to include any portion of the sky, the rest of the image instantly get darker, it is so unnatural, that's how our eyes see the world, even though our eyes adjust a little, but not that dramatic. When will the camera makers realize their stupidity?

[@frankfranks1741]

Top shelf , top of the mark , top rate work , great job.

[@1.4142]

Incredibly rich, dynamic coastline.

[@eljayleveille3721]

wow. thanks for sharing..

[@christopherort3045]

Amazing video

[@OscarLopez-io2yr]

Thanks for that cliff advice .

[@vincent7520]

Beautiful landscape

[@VooV830]

Thankyou for sharing ❤️ pretty cool 👍.

[@YorkshireFossils]

Thanks for watching, we hope you enjoyed it 🙏🏻

[@jamescuster3385]

cool video, thanks !

[@watchdo9298]

Very nice and interesting video......really enjoyed it....

[@noahbrooks-donais9130]

I like the safety talk about shale, wind and the cliffs... I would of never known.

[@rissanen1957]

Boy would I love to hit that fossil place. A friend of mine had a very nice way to preserve fossils. She had her bathroom and shower wall and floors all in fossils it was just amazing. I loved the idea so I’ve been back out hunting fossils for my own bathroom in my home.

[@Lumimyrsky]

Just from watching this video I learned that I would be a horrible fossil hunter. Not once did I get it right xD

[@pascallieutaud9071]

Fascinating video.

[@janay9706]

That jaw is amazing!!

[@teletuby5338]

I like your advice about the cliff right off the bat, thank you.

[@MrBobanyon]

Hi guys. Really enjoying watching your videos. Have you done a video about recognising a nodule? I'm not exactly sure what I am looking out for. Thanks.

[@Life_sharing]

It is a video that you can enjoy even if you do not understand the words. Your video is exciting to me.

[@Rottimail]

This is very cool!

[@huttnerd]

Awesome video as always, but quick question: where can I get a wide chisel and hammer like the one you use in the 3:00 - 3:20 section? Even a name for those two types of tools would be helpful! Also, using skiing googles as eyewear is brilliant!

[@colleenlinke4208]

Oooh, I'd LOVE to have one!!!!

[@mtlassen1992]

The teeth fossil...priceless find! Would love it if you could maybe show us a pic of what the heck it belonged to millions of years ago. I could google it, but that's no fun. Great adventure video!

[@americanrebel413]

Awesome man!

[@lonl123]

Love seeing the fossils...blows my mind these creatures were doing their thing long before mankind evolved on this planet...what a wonderous and beautiful world they lived in (And probably pretty violent).

[@YorkshireFossils]

It’s pretty unbelievable isn’t it! It makes it all the more special finding the fossils

[@lavenderrainbow5041]

*ROCK* - "please don't smash me, I am hiding a GIANT ammonite inside - tee hee hee!" *ME* - "Gonna call Yorkshire Fossils on you to break you up"

[@Jay-vk8fq]

Great video makes me want to go out fossil hunting

[@joestewart7487]

that jaw bone with the teeth is amazing! what kind of price-range would that sell in? i can't imagine a better spot to hunt either. fresh material that nobody has looked at. nice

[@faisaladinata6527]

My father from Java once found fossilized rocks of ancient elephant tusks and ancient buffalo horns and then stored at home.

[@JeAwExplore]

Wow nice one👍

[@jolujo5842]

The jaw is beautiful!

[@heidismith8970]

Can you do a show on how to look for fossils as in how do you know what stones to pick up and crack open. Thanks.

[@raygrange7312]

Wonderful.

[@craigs71]

I’ll be back up that way when this godforsaken lockdown ends, I feel the need to smash some rocks (ones that contain fossils this time I hope).

[@YorkshireFossils]

Haha sounds good, best of luck for when you can get back up!! Hang in there, I know it’s a tough time

[@suebarner8364]

My idea of a lovely day out!

[@berealrelentless6237]

i would be in my heaven at this spot. love weathered stone and moss and aging . mother nature, is the BOMB!!

[@paxpopulusalexpatriotegpi9848]

Very nice your vidéo 👌👓😇🐢

Good Fibonacci find!

[@lengaignejosette3048]

De très jolies découvertes 👍

[@dionmartin759]

Your Awesome!

[@pauldean8638]

Nice finds boys

[@somecursedcommentguy537]

Start of vidio was like writing a biografy where you wana find a serial killer that doesn't exist

[@pokebill9901]

What stones would you recommend to break open to find a fossil?

[@YuBeace]

“Can you spot the fossil?” me: 👀👀👀👀 CAN I???

[@50buttfish]

Tons of shell fossils, in Ocotillo Wells desert, 120 miles from the ocean, 10 miles from Salton Sea.

[@daschundloverable]

YORKSHIRE FOSSILS, you need to watch MUDFOSSIL UNIVERSITY. you are missing a gold mine of fossils staring right at you.

[@familyoftwo7441]

I found the fossilised poo at the end of the fossilised log interesting,you could say its two fossilised logs,lol.

[@user-su1vz8gj9e]

Ваше видео чрезвычайно интересны. Спасибо Вам.

[@Whateverhasbeenmynameforyears]

I hope you let a museum know about the copalite.

[@brosolution]

I just cracked open like 4 huge rocks and I cant find anything....how can you tell before you open the rock if your gonna find something????

[@broitsjonny2607]

Where is this? Looks stunning.

[@deenichols491]

Keep up the good work.. thank you for sharing!

[@philiplaroche8218]

You would never give me out I'm a rock hound

[@JFP1988]

Where I'm Yorks hire is this location. I used to go fossil hunting in Whitby. Those cliffs are full of fossils.

[@DiamondMinerIvins]

I’ve be searching on the cliff! Just surface searching. Never take out the knee of a mountain

[@bertoneman4851]

Are the red rocks an ocean polished sandstone or a hard Jasper?

[@ChaserJonDoe]

Wish large fossils like those were more prevalent here. Majority of what you see here are just disks from crinoid stems, though I am pretty happy with the crinoid crown I found.

[@YorkshireFossils]

We don’t find much crinoid here, mainly ammonites. So it’s a rare treat when we see crinoids

[@gb57hevy3]

The pursuit and find are what drives the hobby. Holding "it" in your own hands is the ultimate joy of this hobby.

[@scottenosh4548]

Ive got to visit this location someday.

[@amarynth100]

seems to me you have way bigger beauties inside those rocks ,but using chisel ,,,distroys most of them . there is no other way to extract them witout poking them randomly? :) i so love the magnificent pieces you find .its liek returning back in time in one instant .great job

[@Robin6512]

Do you guys have a vid of what to look for for people who would like toys strat hunting

[@mollynakamori]

While "Can you spot the fossil?" is my favorite part, I also love when you slowly pan the cliff face. I enjoy imagining what is still hiding. Also, do you know what species of trees the petrified wood are?

[@Fossilsmudge]

I agree spot the fossil is definitely one of my favourite bits

[@Paleos1000]

Did you pull that plate full of crinoids? Worth prepping I would have thought!

[@kirtipandit2010]

So much history is living under the rock

[@eliselangham5337]

Am a big fan livevin eastsussex but it's my birthday on the 19th of June xxx 33 years old lol but love the sea n dinosaur bones xxx

[@tresjolieme81]

I wonder how the rock formed around it

Very good 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Hello ! Where is such beauty? You are interesting to watch, mesmerizing
