Hunt for GIANT AMMONITES | DINOSAUR BONES Found | Search for Fossils

Hello everyone, my name is Ilya, and I'm from Russia. Few people know, but I have an interesting hobby - paleontology. In this video I want to show you the search for fossils on the Volga River. In the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods, there was a huge sea here, inhabited by ammonites, belemnites, as well as terrible marine dinosaurs...

Are the ammonites so common that you can just hack away willy-nilly with a heavyhanded chiselling technique? Don't misunderstand me, please, I love how much effort you put into the filming and editing, and the information you have provided here is very good. I just think more care should be taken not to break off chunks around the edges when digging them out.

[@michaelpelletier42]

I was thinking the same thing.

[@TheGbow0704]

Very interesting Ilya, thank you for the English subtitles. Nice collection you found.

[@akukafranco4994]

Impresionantes! Grande Ilya!

[@videowatcher674]

You are getting to close to the ammonites with your chisel. Your chisel looks like a wood chisel. Try to find a chisel made for rocks. Like a landscapers chisel.

Amazing, wow how exciting finding great fossils

[@darrellmurdock6880]

A treasure trove of fossils, very satisfying findings 👍😎😎

[@arolimichel9998]

Wow, You find some Amazing Fossiles, Great! Congratulations 👌👌👍👌👌

[@user-rr3mb6eb9m]

There are many bones that turned to stone. Amazing! It is hard to extract the fossil from the stone. Thanks a lot.

[@infantryattacks]

Ilya, Thank you for sharing your adventure.

[@connylanie8920]

Schaue immer aus Deutschland zu, wollte mal sagen das ich es Toll finde Danke.

[@pozitron6991]

[@louloumagoo2512]

[@laurahaughton4523]

What great finds 😊👍🌷

[@Paka1918]

Wonderful fossil hotspot. The huge ammonite is great.

[@felipeduenas2968]

I like fossils

[@user-rq1ve4kw8p]

Молодец, Илья! Как ловко...

[@MagicbyKevin1]

Awesome!!! 👍🤗

[@TeresaLopez-th4vs]

Wow great finds. Thank you for sharing

[@leahrobling]

You have an absolutely amazing spot! The belemnites have such an interesting color spectrum my favorite is the piece of wood in e beginning, with the beetle markings it makes quite an unique snapshot of history, really cool!

[@AlexSoria-bb3ri]

i love Ammonite's 🤩

[@valeriejohnson5283]

The large Ammonite and vertebrates seems like they should be in a Museum. Very interesting and thank you for sharing.🍺

[@billrobbins5874]

Please get safety glasses. Eyes are for safe keeping. Incredible fossils there! 👍👍

[@olivermarkmann5337]

Very Great

[@myownpath8022]

amazing job😁😁

[@VictorBowey-jx1pt]

Great stuff keep doing your stuff 👍

[@kinggeorge945]

Awesome 👍🍻

[@bobbynash282]

Thats just so cool.

[@corbinbryant7916]

where is this amazing place?

[@stephenbridges9915]

The best thing in life is being blessed and surprised by how much a little hard work, patience and faith that good things will happen. I collect freshwater clams, not even fossils, and the coolest day was when I went from finding 1 inch shells to inch live specimens

[@lookeast3047]

Amazing!

[@HernanToroA]

Oh, not again... 3:36 and another one you broke for not using the chisel! This should be called "The ammonite breaking channel". 😭

[@Triumph865]

Amazing

[@graniterunner5129]

Amazing, can´t believe that this is a river...volga looks like the ocean!!! Greetings from Austria

[@johnandersen8998]

Pretty cool and a nice collection!

[@carloscv6063]

Destruye todo!!!....

[@carisius5822]

In my country, taking fossils is illegal... what a marvelous place

[@Mark-vf8op]

I wonder what they would taste like!

[@RolfStones]

A lot of huge ammonites, huge belemnites, calcite nodules, clear gypsum in one location? Wow...

[@kpstx]

Amazing fossil hunting spot. We have similar preservation here in Texas of the ammonites, only we don’t find Belemnites. Ichthyosaur bones are also very rare. We have lots of ammonites though. Thank you for the English subtitles.

[@WillowKitsuneMoonStarryFxiry]

If there’s small versions of the thing in the thumbnail I probably have one

[@stephenbridges9915]

I must go to this place, with my kids

[@donnieboggs6239]

Here in Texas, our Ammonites are all in Limestone

[@nonamedoe742]

I had one like the one on that big slab behind my house, my older friend saw it w her man and then it was gone! It was in a hard spot to remove and was very heavy so it’s weird! I always wonder if they had something to do w it being removed. I used to sit on it by the creek and smoke

[@teresalopez9434]

Where are you located, there are so many belimites on the shore.... Awesome

[@AndreaVon769]

Wow Ilya! That is so cool. Where is this place with all the fossils??

[@forestpaths]

The city of Ulyanovsk

[@michaelleigh2446]

fantastic finds Ilya, I think you need a bigger hammer and stronger chisel, where is this?

[@dianadido4167]

Hellow ..I have small dinasour skull 2 inch are you interseted?? or can you help me please

[@DreadEnder]

Wow starting off with a massive Parkinsonia parkinsoni or Titanites giganteus ammonite print! Then a large piece of petrified wood with woodworms! Then a MASSIVE (I believe as I can’t see any groves from this footage) Acrocoelites belemnite. Then another maybe Cylindroteuthis. Another MASSIVE Parkinsonia! That annelid worm may be the best! I’m not familiar with the species though.

[@aaronhop1991]

So sad that you just came across other peoples finds and absolutely destroyed them instead of leaving for others to see and enjoy. Very selfish

[@AngrySinn]

I've seen a lot of horrible attempts at prepping a fossil and this guy just absolutely destroys them. It's genuinely painful to watch...

[@trinitytennant838]

you need to be more careful in trying to extract fossils… that way you would not destroy them…. when there gone there gone for good!

[@DreadEnder]

This is an amazing location! Where is it?

[@aka_rook]

"Extract" Well, I laughed.

[@jo-annwithrington5601]

Sure wish you'd have left them alone

[@snowysmile9082]

I wish they're all still alive

[@earthstar2493]

Should have brought a bigger backpack

[@immortal2534]

Isn't it strange that those once were alive creatures and now they're just stones!

[@flir67man84]

Oldest sayin " even rocks have a soul" makes sense seeing this...

[@mahlooraa]

Minha ignorância só me diz. É um monte de caracol.

[@SuperBruenor]

I could not watch this video to the end. These fossils survived millions years and now they are destroyed by this barbarian

[@technovaishnav2041]

it's Very High price in Indian marcket... It's Our devotional stone for Lord Vishnu. This fossils name in India is Shaligram..

[@user-kz9ni8bo2i]

It is rather funny, using a wood chisel to extract a fossil from rock.

[@ne0n1880]

Russia is cool as fuck

[@liliannebrondijk4125]

Geweest, you are treating those beautiful fossils like a elephant in a fine china store🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺

[@raygrange7312]

Great fossils

[@HernanToroA]

Oh f...k! Just for not using the chisel you already had, at 2:50, you cracked it! 🙄😒😠

[@amalqutaishat4285]

🌺🌺💐👍

[@michelbelle4681]

Faut t’apprendre à dégager les fossiles !!!! Arrête c’est une véritable tuerie 😢

[@DiamondMinerIvins]

You should talk more. Got bored.

[@maurichamorro]

Don't destroy the fossiles!!!!! Don't be stupid, and treat better fossiles.

[@WillowKitsuneMoonStarryFxiry]

I think I have a mini ammonite or maybe it’s just a small shell

[@WillowKitsuneMoonStarryFxiry]

I have a shell that’s shaped like the thing in the thumbnail idk if it’s a shell anymore

[@WillowKitsuneMoonStarryFxiry]

Has anyone found the thing in the thumbnail but smaller because I have

[@marcuscarana9240]

You don't talk much do you?

[@raygrange7312]

Great fossils
