I FINALLY Went to my Top Bucket List Site! Digging the Fossil Fish Motherlode in Kemmerer, Wyoming!

In this one, we go to a spot that's been on the top of my bucket list for a LONG time, The Green River formation of Kemmerer Wyoming! We spent 8 hours straight splitting rocks and came away with an AMAZING amount of top quality fossil fish of all shapes and sizes! The density of the fossils was just astounding! It was almost like every other rock would yield something amazing! I can say with confidence that I am now thoroughly addicted and will make sure to come back soon! As a fossil fanatic, the preservation on these specimens is simply on another level! We didn't have time in this one, and there is enough work to warrant being its own video, so make sure to keep your eyes out for an upcoming video where we will prep all of these outstanding specimens! If you find yourself in Kemmerer and trying to decide which dig to go with, I would highly recommend American Fossil! They were kind, incredibly helpful, and had a bounty of incredible finds! I hope you all enjoy this one, and I will have another one out soon!

Old disabled house bound dusty rusty rockhound here: Congratulations on your bucket list achievement!! You're there representing all of us rockhounding crust crawlers! Gorgeous finds! Safe journeys dude!

[@tedpreston4155]

Nice! One of my rockhound friends spends his summers in those quarries, splitting rocks, and then he spends the winters at his sandblasting bench, preparing the fossils for sale. He takes them to Tucson, and usually sells everything he has. He's entertaining in winter, since everything in his workspace gets covered in white dust from all the sandblasting, even though the sandblasting workbench is sealed, in theory. When he stopped by my shop to visit, he was usually covered in white dust, a bit like the "pigpen" character in the Charlie Brown cartoons. 😊

[@GrandviewKing]

Bruh… your unabashed joy at finding rocks warms my heart during a tough year. Keep doing you dude ❤

[@mlmoore5719]

Awesome!! See you at the show!

[@leslyeschoenhuth1107]

* You all found enough fish to prep for a long time.. What a fabulous place to look for Fossils.. So happy for you all..

[@ecks_marks_the_spot]

Wow. Now Kemmerer is now on my bucket list. Thanks.

[@406findings]

Oh man! This is definitely one on my list as well I can't wait to make it out there one day.

[@annettesmith6358]

So glad you have enjoyed my home state of Wyoming.. it is an amazing place for rock hounds, SO many wonderful places to find such amazing things.... hidden gems for sure as well as the well known ones! Keeping rocking on!

[@TheOldladyB]

Oh wow. Absolutely fantastic finds. Well done.

[@denniswheeler2645]

I am so jealous,that looks like a blast.

[@kayc5836]

Go if you can I'm 75 and made it a goal to go this year. Spend 1 1/2 hours in happy hunting.

[@lisamills-wv6nc]

Wow! Those fossils are so awesome! I wish i could do the meet and greet, but i live so far away. Im looking forward to your prepping video! 😊

[@2wahineandadog]

Your a ROCKstar!!! Have a great show Theo

[@donnabeaudin9114]

Touch cool fossils! And what a haul!! I know you’re going to find that stingray, keep digging!

[@mirkatu3249]

Your joy is contagious! It was fun watching you open the rocks.... almost better than Christmas!

[@cathers2hbergerthe22]

How wonderful for you! You were able to do something you dreamed of for a long time. And you shared the experience. Thanks.

[@ROCKINWHEELERS]

Very nice Advernture. About 2 weeks ago We were also treated to that site by The Crstal Collector and a Group of Hounds. Both Videos are Epic. Maybe one day we Disabled Seniors and our Son(Tetraplegic) be able to travel there.

[@anniegironne8444]

Incredible!!! Lucky people at the convention.

[@trouthawk]

It was really good meeting you at the Gem and Mineral Show. Your enthusiasm is contagious. Thanks for the inspiration!!

Congrats to all of you for the amazing things you found today, and I'm glad you all got the chance to be there and hook up, and go on an epic adventure like that!!!🎉🎉🎉😮🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤ Congrats to you all!!!

[@OzoneFineArtVentures]

You rocked it, so many fish!!!! Super fun to watch you guys finding, thanks for taking us all to the quarry (next time we'll be there with ya!). It was fun to come back from there and have your video to watch! I think we need to do the big ticket thing like you did next time. Can't beat all the fishy goodness, you'll be busy for a while. Cheers!

[@rebeccaofsunnybrookefarm8469]

Congratulations on the bucket list items

[@IvanLopez-zh3xz]

Wonderful fishing! That’s my kind of fishing.

[@oaktree3]

I have a little one of those in my collection, but it was one I bought. How exciting to find them yourself! I hope I get there one day but in the meantime, thank you for sharing your journey and excitement with us. :)

[@savagesquirrel9828]

[@Edelstones]

[@patriciabock4299]

Awesome video! Loved it!

[@jerrykenyon3073]

[@sonyaalgosaibi5840]

I need to check this place, thank you guys!

[@mikemcdonald2755]

I took my kids there. We had a blast! A young kid found a stingray while we were there. We loaded my truck full

[@veronicamoore3777]

Enjoyed the adventure!

[@cynergy4]

It's so cool that you got to go to one of your bucket list places! You live in one of mine, haha! Have an awesome show Theo, wish that I could go but it's a long way from California 😉

[@DonohueLabs]

Good thing you and Kyle can still be friends. That could've made the podcast rather tense.

[@dustinfindsrocks]

Hope you do well at the gem show man!

[@deborahdanhauer8525]

That was fun!!! Even from here lol❤️🤗🐝

[@deniseview4253]

Such cool finds!! Can’t wait for you to prep these fish! If I were there I’d want to win the iris even though the fossils are pretty cool!

[@dustinfindsrocks]

For real! Meetup here next year! I'm like the only one who didn't go this year

[@keithcunningham7925]

Dude those fish are amazing I would love Togo there you found a lot of cool fish to bad that wasn't a stingray that would of been cool

[@donc5220]

were on were on were on hahaha wooooo

[@greatnorthernviews3052]

Those are cool😊

[@randyleedavison52]

I've always wanted to go out rockhounding. Never have had the chance. 😢 same with fossils. If I could find someone to go with?! Omg!

[@napalmholocaust9093]

Must you split rocks there? I'd be spending the 8 hours loading a trailer and vehicle with 5 or 6 tons depending on the road, maybe more. I couldn't hammer that long in a stretch and still be able to drive home anyway.

[@Ionlyfeargod88]

Amen❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊

[@janehelbert7551]

These finds would be indicative of rapid burial in sand. It's as if the water was instantly gone and replaced by sand. It must have been a catastrophic!

[@candacepeterson8932]

How do you prep these? Thanks

[@Rockin_in_Kentucky]

Wow awesome fossils, if you don't mind me asking how much does it cost to dig there?

[@janehelbert7551]

Are these found anywhere else in the world?

[@verilliumfunk4886]

at 15:19 does that look like a stingray??

[@lewisbarney5327]

Catching fish with a hammer and chizzle no worms or anything I've been doing it wrong for all these years

[@VSFilly]

Nothing but pure evidence of a global flood ❤

[@ZiggityPow]

No.

[@VSFilly]

@@ZiggityPow millions of dead things buried under mud and rock layers: absolutely none decomposed and absolutely none with parasites. I've researched this subject extensively and absolutely do not believe the million/billion years narrative.

[@inthewoods80]

I am debating American vs Safari. I like the you can keep what you find @ American vs I’d I find something fantastic and they say nice & rare…we keep it @ Safari 😒

[@kastah]

Very interesting. I would loved to had one on my wall

[@jennifershipp2599]

So fun, to watch you. Like a kid in a candy store. So glad you share all of your adventures. Thank you. Hope to see at the Gem and Mineral show, today. You must have brought home a literal ton of stuff. ❤🪨❤
