Gated Cave Full of Crystals and 300M Year Old Fossils

[@KarenM424]

It’s so nice to see you all pause and take it in; your respect appreciation for geology and paleontology is admirable.

[@MikeDoran]

I would love to see y'all bring a quality filtered UV light on some of your adventures to the crystal caves. Many of the crystal formations are highly fluorescent and quite often phosphorescent.

[@Reverendoctor]

I came here to say the same thing about the filtered UV 365nm flash light! It would charge up those calcites in like 1 second

[@rhoward295]

You guys should take a black light and see what glows! I’ll bet it’s gorgeous!

[@kshanda]

It’s nice to watch a video of the three of you exploring together (plus your fourth companion, of course). Thank you for all the upclose detail shots of the fossils and crystals and formations. Things I’ll probably not have the good fortune to see in person.

[@spaztic1]

as an avid rockhound, this is utterly amazing. My caving days are over, just had my second knee replacement done on another knee, so i'm now able to walk with no pain. But seriously dont think i could do another cave crawl. The rock formations and the plate of fossils was amazing.

[@OnTheRiver66]

Thank you for spending time showing the crystals and formations. Some experienced cave explorers that are used to these sights just gloss over them, but they are beautiful and are from a different world than the one I live in. And thanks for showing the fossils! And I have never known that stalactites could ring like a bell! You have a subscriber!

[@ericn3754]

Thank you for taking us with you. This place is amazing, and without you, it's something I would never have seen with my physical condition. Thank you again

[@BreakerOneNine07]

Same! I was in a severe car accident in 2016 and since then, 3 lumbar and 1 cervical spine surgeries later, my hiking days are over!

[@Patti-b-luvin-billie]

Thank you sm for the fascinating look at these formations and fossils. Those crystals were the sparkliest I've ever seen. Y'all are so blessed to see these in person! I kinda worry about what you guys are breathing in down there, though. Love from West Monroe, Louisiana.

[@wickedwings6747]

Thanks for doing the glow light on the formations! I love that. Keep doing that. Get a UV flashlight, too. The white ones will seriously glow under the UV!

[@CaveChronicles]

We have a custom UV light that's basically a cancer ray coming soon! haha

[@Reverendoctor]

You can get yellow lense glasses to protect your eyes from the UV light. I highly recommend it because it is going to be so awesome with the UV! You'll love it!

[@raccoon_salad9980]

The second I saw the title and thumbnail I said yes, I’m rolling a doobie 😂

[@PamW-r5t]

Those were pretty good sizes curtains. That’s is thousands of years to form. You guys always find the coolest caves! Thank you

You would be amazed at some of the things youll have to overcome underground

[@cjfazio3012]

That was wicked video! Never seen that light refracted throughout the crystal! Just amazing and the size of that cave👍

[@pheona1164]

Absolutely incredible. Thanks for the adventure.

[@Thequietfossicker]

This is my favourite YT video of all time 💯 and when you guys tapped the stalactites and made music, my heart smiled ❤

[@hughobbies]

Take a short & long wave UV light with you. You'd probably be surprised what reacts. Thanks for the adventure

[@tedium37]

Thanks for boldly going where I damn sure won't be. I enjoyed the scenery. 👍

[@stevenbutler3869]

this has got to be a dream of mine to go cave exploring! this is so awesome! im so glad i found this youtube channel!

[@TheHungrySlug]

those crystal formations are amazingly stunning and evidently rather fragile. What a magnificent explore here, cheers.

[@josephmedina6403]

14:10 those walls of fossils are amazing and stunned scientists for many years many believed they were screws and how could modern items be found from so long ago !

[@Ltizzy20]

No and athat is literally a bolt right beside its

[@stabakoder]

I can respect the fact that you guys are leaving everything untouched.

[@Mr_badjoke]

U gotta be kidding?. U could NEVER make that assessment from the chosen video clips. If u listen to how they speak it's pretty clear they r hitting caves for rare crystal ... If they can find em B4 others (as the constantly elude to) They definitely took some of that druzy quartz & Not because u could hear the guy prying in the backround obviously

[@WallyBox4Me]

How do you find your way out? This is totally unbelievable, it's so awesome & terrifying at the same time. Thanks for taking the risk most of us will never do.😳

[@CaveChronicles]

Usually it's pretty straight forward finding the way we came from. We do get turned around sometimes but it usually doesn't take long to get back on the right path. If it gets confusing we leave markers or draw arrows in the mud. Last resort we could also look at our footage too, but we have never had to do that.

[@Akira_781]

Many of those fossils look a lot like Crinoids.

[@TKs3DPrints]

next time you head down into a cave you need to take a couple of uv torches with you.. that looks like some form of slate or shale with oxides.. reason there are fossels and corrals is it used to be the bottom of the sea now pushed up with tectonic plates shifting and pushing over millenniums

[@TKs3DPrints]

man that is a fossil hunters dream down there perfect ammonites and etc

[@iGame3D]

What's fascinating is that 'it used to be the bottom of the sea" but it is clearly buried under thousands of tons of rock.

[@TKs3DPrints]

@@iGame3D well the creatures die and fall to the ocean floor and then detritus falls on top of them and over time this builds up and compresses and forms rock and then with the movement of tectonic plates push against each other shifting the rocks and pushing them upwards.. there are some parts of the Jurassic coast in the uk along the shore that are folded like sheets of pasta etc... geology and geography is a fascinating subject especially when you look for fossils and animates and stuff :)

[@joecandela2544]

take a UV light in there, I bet the whole place glows.

[@mlgauss60435]

Dang, that cave is huge! That one colorful rock actually looked like petrified wood!

[@adventuresamNfam]

Kinda looks like a giant piece of petrified wood.

[@trzanon3520]

That was my first thought regarding the red rocks

[@jumpjumpdiegaming]

I thought the same

[@snicklefritzed]

It's crazy how much we've terraformed our own planet and how very little of it most of us see. Seeing this makes you wonder just how alien the chunk of rock we inhabit really is.

[@ExpeditionFERAL]

This is still my favorite cave to date. I compare all other caves to this one and I’m constantly disappointed with them after this place!

[@mattbeckmann1928]

That was absolutely amazing you guys got my subscription for sure hopefully you guys find new places to go to I'll always be watching thank you so much

Notice when Jake starts running up 4 24 it sounds maybe hollow underneath ''listen closely. Just right there ur cam..picks it up clear as though it's wooden blank ''if u ever lived n a wooden home. U no what I'm saying lol ty for sharing this amazing video

[@matthewabernathy7563]

The fossil skeleton you found around 4:07 appears to be a fish. Look close by the bones, in the north east section of the bone scattering picture. You can see what appears to be fish or reptile skin laying there next to the bones.

[@katyallen5331]

That red rock is a sign of iron in rock. So cool be save 😊

Fascinating, thanks fellas

[@mtmcommunity]

This guys property on an old ghost town where copper was manly dug out. Jerome Arizona, made Arizona what it is today really and basically the world with its copper. Anyways, the old blacksmiths had some really genius ideas with stuff. Like me finding the first ever cork opener for wine, me realizing that's what it was for because it was just rusted metal really. Everything was pretty much falling apart and deteriorating or already gone. Most of the stuff was to dangerous too handle. I wanted to keep it but keeping it meant i would be stealing since it was somebody's property and even tho you pay to wonder on his vast yard i wasn't going too take it. Instead i put it up on display with everything else he had. Setting it down with much care as possible. Edit: as i was basically typing this he asked what that red rock was, well ironically looking for iron you look for that red. The darker the better, sometimes they will be green in the rock or just all green, copper is weird like that!

[@Chris-rr5rj]

You guys were walking through an ancient coral reef,take a really good look,it's why they crystalized it's coral!!!!! That's crazy AN OCEAN WAS THERE!!!
