Hey, thank you! I hope you enjoyed this one too 🙏🏻🦕🦖

[@silvertopaz509]

I enjoy fossil hunting with you both, so much fun and love the scenery and the sea.

[@YorkshireFossils]

We really appreciate that, thank you very much. Even if we don’t find anything, the scenery alone is worth it

[@Josh-jp6xv]

Wow just come back after a few years, Shae be looking buff! 💪

[@arongstone]

So many beautiful fossil finding

[@YorkshireFossils]

Thank you 🙏🏻

[@suerobertson5132]

Really LOVE your office,,, thanx for taking us out to such a beautiful location, love from Australia 🦘

[@YorkshireFossils]

Thank you, we love it too! I’m sure Australia also has some breathtaking places like this!

[@bertoneman4851]

Nice fossil hunt guys. Your discipline is well demonstrated, as I would find it difficult to leave the beach when its been such a rich day of finds. I would likely be dragged out to sea when the tides came in! Thanks for being safe, so you can bring us more of these epic experiences!

[@YorkshireFossils]

Thanks Paul, fortunately there was enough of us to carry our finds home. Would have been awful if we had to leave some down on the beach! I hope we can bring plenty more experiences like this to your screen 🌍😉

[@kathleenhughes9039]

Really enjoyed this video with the both of you,much prefer the longer ones. Some really nice fossils today.

[@YorkshireFossils]

Thanks so much, we will have to make some more like this then. We certainly got some finds that we were really happy with!

This may sound weird, but I absolutely loved your video! You aren't screaming at me for no reason, you're wearing eye protection when using tools, you're respectful of the fossils and people who will come to the site after you... This video is wonderful, and I'm subscribing!

[@YorkshireFossils]

Thanks so much, we really appreciate that! Glad you enjoyed the video 🙏🏻🔬⚒️🦕

[@andrewmccormick5753]

Love watching your vids! Some amazing finds! I travel up from london to Yorkshire regularly for a fossil hunt, I don't have too much luck as I'm very new to it and to call myself an amature hunter would be an overstatement! Lol. Would love to see you guy's up there one weekend to get some advice and pro knowledge from you! Maybe one day our paths will meet! Fingers crossed 🤞. Keep up the great work guy's and keep these vids coming!

[@YorkshireFossils]

We were really pleased with today’s finds! We will certainly help you out if we bump into you on the beach, best of luck hunting 🙏🏻 More videos to come 🦕🦖

[@andrewmccormick5753]

@@YorkshireFossils that would be absolutely amazing! I'll certainly keep my eyes open for you, Got a rough idea where you go from the scenery so we will see! Look forward to seeing more of your vids too! Thanks for your response as well, Most content creator's don't even bother! This is what sets you boys out from the rest! Great stuff. Happy hunting to you too!

Wonderful finds. The nodules and geodes are surprise eggs from the past. ^^

[@TrailHiker52]

These are great, thank you for taking us on the hunt. Could you tell us how these nodules are formed? Quite interesting.

[@YorkshireFossils]

Glad you enjoyed it. There isn’t a definite answer as to how they are formed, we are still uncertain at the moment

[@erichaskell]

15:15 left side, middle. White substance sticking out of rock. Another rock?

[@YorkshireFossils]

If we are looking at the same thing, it looks to be like some calcite

[@rotisumbuErikGemstone]

Sangat mempesona untuk di jadikan koleksi

[@YorkshireFossils]

Thank you 🙏🏻

[@paulstan9828]

Out of curiosity, why do they form in or are found in nodules like that? Very interesting.

[@YorkshireFossils]

To be honest, I don’t think it is known for certain 🤔

[@paulstan9828]

@@YorkshireFossils Thank you sir for answering. Always enjoy your hunts.

[@Brusselsproutsk8]

It's the way the sediment falls around the dead animal. If there wasn't anything there it would be flat shale. Shale takes a long time to form in thin layers. There is a really good video on how fossils form on KZbin. It compacts different when something is added to sediment.

[@paulstan9828]

@@Brusselsproutsk8 That makes sense. Thank I’ll check it out.

[@jamesalann2261]

The plant & animal fossil concretions we find here in the U.S.A are formed when the organic matter is quickly covered with mud or silt and begins to decompose in an oxygen-free anaerobic environment. This supposedly changes the chemistry surrounding the plant or animal and that is why it fossilizes in a nodule rather than the surrounding flaky shale. I suspect this fossilization process is likely the same at the Yorkshire coast.

[@StillOofing1]

Hey are u in the uk?

[@susanbdusan2785]

How do the “empty” nodules form?

[@YorkshireFossils]

No one knows for sure, as far as we’re aware. Bit of a mystery currently 🤔

[@susanbdusan2785]

@@YorkshireFossils okay. So, do they know how the ammonite nodules form?

[@yellowlighthouse3057]

@@susanbdusan2785 I think the ammonites get covered with sediment which eventually hardens

[@WaRRioRofLight.]

Maybe it contained a Jellyfish or a slug at some point

[@julietaylor7297]

I have some nodules that I do not know the origin of. They are similar in the outside look to the ones you have found. I now want to crack mine open and see what is inside.

[@YorkshireFossils]

It’s always exciting to wonder what’s inside the rocks, if anything. More often than not, these stones are completely empty. Best of luck if you decide to open them 🙏🏻

[@stexoneoneone5386]

What is the specific name of the black shiny rock the fossils here are contained within? Limestone.. but what Limestone? Bituminous limestone?

[@YorkshireFossils]

Limestone occurs throughout most of the shale layers, but you can’t always tell which it has come from

[@shiweicai4872]

How do modules form so smoothly?

[@YorkshireFossils]

No one really knows to be honest 🤔
