It’s was!! Unfortunately It got broken in 3’s about 8 months ago moving it.

[@adamthtguy9098]

Okie dokie!!!🤞🏻It's confusing how people already have their lights up for Christmas and it's not even Thanksgiving yet. But can't wait for either one!

@@DiamondMinerIvins 😆 Haha For real! Nice finds man! I'm still catching up on some video's you have posted previously. Happy Thanksgiving!

[@charlesblack2523]

Should be a law no Christmas lights until after Thanksgiving, there were houses in my town decorated for Christmas 2 weeks before Halloween that is too much.

[@adamthtguy9098]

It's been sitting there for at least 65 million years. Maybe longer.

[@ramiroalonsopando5511]

I am glad you have been doing the kind of exploring for massive fossils I haven't been able to do since 1968 when I entered medical school in México. Now I'm 5 years retired from practice and still yearning for excitement going abroad to explore and work over fossils.

[@pbandjedi5006]

That is amazing, the details and the size - I'm so excited for the find.

[@99goat99]

I just had to share this...two of my passions are paleontology and vintage U.S. muscle cars, channels like Vice Grip Garage etc. I'm subscribed to many of each. When I saw your thumbnail for this video, I guess my brain was in classic auto mode because I saw an old tire with tractor-like tread in the dirt of a wrecking yard or something. I hope you get a chuckle out of that as I did.

[@urbanwanderer3835]

Hello, I’m a huge fan! I have a few questions if you could help. That would be greatly appreciated. Where you Texas do you find these ammonites?

[@DiamondMinerIvins]

That’s only one question…. 😂 Thanks for all the support This area is located North Central Texas

[@urbanwanderer3835]

Honestly did not think you would reply! 😂 that is why I asked one question. Do you have a new ammonite video coming out soon? Love the vids

[@DiamondMinerIvins]

Been trying to get out there, just don’t have the time, plus had lots of rain. So when I do go! It will be a good hunt! Thanks for the support

[@conniekelly631]

That is beautiful

[@Mrtomatopeels]

I was at a local trail riding my bike when I wanted to go on the old trail tracks so I go up there and on the ground in the rocks next to the tracks there’s a full ammonite sitting there unbroken

[@orerofotografia]

Could someone tell me what model of electric chisel they use? Or something similar? Thanks.

[@DiamondMinerIvins]

It’s the Dewalt hammer drill. About medium size to what they make

[@48thstateprospecting]

Great work and killer find with all the other fossils attached you did well working it out to keep it complete what a long process but definitely worth it congrats happy thanksgiving and thanks for sharing see you on the next one 👍🏼👊🏼

[@jenniferfinger6811]

I think the crystal formation is druzy quarts crystals

[@DiamondMinerIvins]

I think you’re right. Appreciate the support

[@reneebarrett1161]

You better get in the gym and start lifting weights if you’re gonna keep finding them like that congratulations. 🎉

plz keep posting more ammonite videos

[@kryptofly]

When I was a kid, I used to fossil hunt. But the only things I could find were some fossil bivalve’s and crinoids. We have a lot of local limestone in the area. My dad years ago went to a big quarry and found a couple of trilobites, one was quite nice, I still have it somewhere. Always wanted to find ammonites, but either this was the wrong area for them or the glaciers ground them away. Keep it up….
