Fossil Hunter Examines HUGE Limestone Nodule! Fossil Hunting for Belemnites | Fossil Hunter

[@susieg4624]

Unfortunately if fossils aren't collected from the beach then the tides rapidly erode them away. In Dorset they actually encourage people to collect them, because being lost to the sea is such a waste.

I've only just got on to watching fossil hunters a crystals! It's blown me away! Knowing the age of them, and how beautiful they are xxx

[@MikeTPDubai]

You guys have just made my Decade!!! i have had a fossil for over 20 years that i thought was a tooth. I've kept it with my other things and forgot about it. Then i watched this and the penny dropped!!! I have a Belemnite.....i have it infront of me as i write this. Great job guys i'm made up i know what it is now .Don't stop lookin....

[@YorkshireFossils]

That’s great to hear, we’re so glad we helped identify your find!! Thanks so much 🙏🏻

[@MissMonday-]

Brilliant story sp pleased you kept it lol

[@jparker1977]

My boys love fossil hunting and are fast becoming real rockhounds and have got me down to Filey for the weekend. Can you recommend any particular spot to go hunting for fossils with them.

[@lunakatt429]

Yes please more scenery , it's so beautiful .

[@YorkshireFossils]

Thanks so much, noted!

[@letmetellyousomething123]

Just wandered into this unknown but You've convinced me to keep watching. It's Hypnotic. Great work Guys.

[@YorkshireFossils]

Thanks so much, more fossils to come! 🐙🦎

[@Tony-tt3sc]

Amazing belemnites especially the last one. When I was a kid I used to call them carrot stones (we mostly got the orange coloured ones) no one knew what they were until someone said they are from lightening strikes on the sand, which is what I believed until I was an adult and started fossil hunting

[@YorkshireFossils]

Thank you 🙏🏻 Orange belemnites sound great! They can certainly be misleading fossils 🦴 Sometimes they look like teeth 🦷

[@stuartyablon7184]

Congratulations on finding that outstanding belemnite fossil, and thank you for sharing.

That last belemnite is such a great one! Liked those calcite crystals as well

[@YorkshireFossils]

It’s pretty special isn’t it!! Will have to show some others too 🦑

[@luiznogueira1579]

Fascinating stuff! The one at the end was really impressive. Great job, guys! As a teenager I lived a couple of years in La Paz, Bolivia. Once we went on a trip to a ski resort called Chacaltaya, 5500 meters above sea level. We stopped to see the view on a road surrounded by piles of rock fragments. We started kicking some of the rocks and to our surprise, they cracked open to reveal tiny marine fossils(trilobites, I believe). Most of the rocks seemed to contain one. Unfortunately, we didn't stay long enough to make a thorough search, but the ones we found we took home.

[@jadneves]

Isso comprova que a Terra já foi um planeta gasoso e se tornou Planeta Água até formarem os oceanos

[@astriddevries1622]

Really nice to see also other fossils, like the pyritized shell, and the search for them. I enjoy the videos a lot. Thanks.

Recently I opened a rock and to my surprise there was more rock inside.

[@alanmole7292]

There is an ancient quarry on top of Bredon Hill, in Worcestershire, where we find fossil shells and bits of Belemnites. Over 1000 feet above sea level.

Second of the five is a perfect example of a fossilised jellyfish - the giveaway is the white ring. Also the oil in it was from it eating an ammonite as its last meal!

[@lynnscott8286]

I liked opening the shale. You didn’t find much but it was exciting

[@YorkshireFossils]

It’s certainly exciting but takes a while before you find much 🙏🏻

[@rosewhite---]

the big one wasn't empty but actually contained a fossil jellyfish that was encased in limestone during the first days of The Flood 4,370 years ago; that is why there is a spherical impression.

[@screamingreel8542]

Great videos in your channel. These are not random findings but they are the result of targeted and skilled research. Thank You for sharing

[@sebastiannielsen9740]

I love finding and cracking some me some concretions, nodules, geodes and such, also love eating noodles which is completely unrelated yes :) I also love finding ammonites and trilobites :) Is there any videos where you guys hunt for trilobites, have you ever hunted/owned/bought any? Have you ever found any trilobites?

[@YorkshireFossils]

Thanks so much, more fossils to come! 🐙🦎 We have nowhere nearby to find trilobites unfortunately, but would love to find one! We’ve never owned one either!

[@sebastiannielsen9740]

@@YorkshireFossils That sucks, since that place is jurassic, makes sense you find none, where i live in denmark is danian and nearby is more danian but also cretaceous :) Most of denmark is cenozoic but the island of bornholm have ranges all the way back to precambrian! Since denmark was underwater we mostly find sea life, but bornholm has land and water since it was covered in land but also water! It's a bit far away but totally worth it for the trilobites and dinos and other things. I have bought some really well preserved trilobites and ammonites, so well preserved they look alive or like they're sleeping. Also got a little amber with inclusions which is always nice. Have you guys got any amber? If so, got any with inclusions? 🦖🦟

[@jasonburkhalter6805]

You should try a hammer that comes more to a point to focus the energy in a concentrated area it’ll crack open the rock easier and it’s a nicer split

Thanks! We haven’t found any geodes no

[@RobertGotschall]

Yeah, they look better wet. Thanks, coming from the Mojave desert. I couldn’t help but think that Belemnite was miraculously preserved for hundreds of millions of years then OOPs, it didn’t split right.😀

[@cmdrglass5096]

Hi all its great Ammonite finds, it reminded me of my Mum when she was very young way back in the day . Mum found a Ammonite fossil about 5ft to 6ft in size I think it was the largest found in New Zealand but the funny thing happen they misspelt her name when they put her name in the books

[@YorkshireFossils]

That sounds incredible about the find that she made! We have never found an ammonite specimen that large before! Great work 🙌🏻

[@thomasnaas2813]

The spherical nodules looked like some strange melon, with a rind, but no seeds. Chert nodules are common where I am from in the US, but few of them yield as many fossils, at least not visible ones.

[@YorkshireFossils]

That’s similar to here really, not many of the large nodules contain any fossils for some reason 🤔

[@sereloho]

How beautiful the belemnite!!! Don´t you collect the shells?

[@susieg4624]

@130drade How else can they find if something is inside? They don't have x-ray vision, and it's not like they're archaeologists and have to use trowels and brushes. Anything they are looking for at these particular sites are rock within rock. The softest stuff around is the shale where fossils can be found between layers by splitting. It's not like sandstone. Totally different method of extraction needed. Horses for courses!

[@LindaBahlmann-wl6qu]

Maybe you could show a picture of the “animal “ with the fossils?! Would be more interesting 🧐

[@UltimateWoFfan]

You do actually raise a good point. I think many people would benefit from an image of the creature that they are digging up, as well as a basic explanation of what the fossil is. That way they could better visualize the creature that the fossil used to be.

[@glugglugglug.7963]

Prehistoric unboxing.

[@rotten-Z]

Why are fossils so hard to find? Because dinosaur-paleontologists walked along the beaches for many millions of years and dug up all the interesting fossils.

[@markstevens5442]

That looked like a footprint on the underside of the very first slab that you turned over

[@YorkshireFossils]

How are the nodules formed geologically?

[@juliekeys1880]

I found one at robinhood day.

[@YorkshireFossils]

That’s a nice beach isn’t it 🏝️

[@susieg4624]

What was the fragmacone? I used to think it might be the tentacles because of being an early squid, but having seen that really well preserved belemnite it obviously wasn't. Can you describe or, better still, show us a drawing of how it was constructed because my imagination has short-circuited!

[@kandychapman5578]

[@tomjenkinson8958]

Near Whitby?

[@almasrajguru6780]

How do these limestone nodules form...one with calcite cementation inside?

[@spatrk6634]

limestone nodules with calcite cementation inside form through a combination of sediment deposition, chemical precipitation, and diagenetic processes that lead to the local concentration and crystallization of calcium carbonate within the nodule. These processes are influenced by a variety of environmental and biological factors so you can have each nodule with unique structure and composition

[@zwastiunburzy3688]

They were indeed mines here but the metal is actually from a ship wreck 🛳️

[@glennquagmire1747]

You need a masons hammer with the pointed middle it's more effective splitting rocks in middle, your hammer is just butchering the rocks to pieces
