These Alabama River Banks Are LOADED With Dinosaur Age Fossils and Other Treasures!

This was my first time hunting in the great state of Alabama for fossils and minerals! We hunted for over 15 hours this day, well into the night for at least 3 totally different kind of fossils: marine shark teeth from the Cretaceous, petrified wood inside pyrite nodules and calamites (giant horsetail-like plants) from the Carboniferous period! It was a great start for Alabama and I suspect we will be spending a ton more time here in the future, exploring all the fun things the state has to offer that cannot be found down in Florida!

Love you guys and I hope you're ready for some crazy adventures coming up soon!

[@steveshoemaker6347]

Thanks Gal & guy's awesome finds 👍

Where in Alabama is that, I live in Alabama and I haven't seen any crazy creeks in my area

[@summerrainsong7506]

I live in Alabama, I've found numerous fossils.

[@summerrainsong7506]

@@ThatMexican where do you live? I live in north Alabama. There are numerous creek's and lake's.

Your channel is doing great things but your filming is horrendous and very difficult to watch. You need to focus on keeping the camera as steady as is possible and stop bouncing it all around. If you can master the filming part, your channel will grow expediential.

[@carriephilippi]

Dang! Why don't you guys take groups of people out with you? I would pay for a trip like that.

[@carriephilippi]

WOW, did you even read what I said? I didn't think or say he was doing it for the money or that money was all it was about...

[@robbiefayewilliamson2428]

Where r y’all at in Alabama ?

[@doodybird5766]

Can you imagine the sheer amount of destruction it would create in places like this if they took outsiders with them? I wouldn't take or tell anyone where I went to hunt fossils, word gets out and people destroy it.

[@jacobmontgomery4568]

On bruh

[@krissyfit]

Glad to see y’all!! This kind of friend group is something I strive for in my future, you’re all inspirations :D

Hello Bree, Chris and Kyle, Derick so good to see you all together again I hope this adventure brings us lots of fossils and a lot of interesting treasures❤❤

[@tinacluff2793]

I hope Kyle kept the pineapple fossil, that was pretty funny. I know there not but those pyrites sure look like turds, but I love the pyrite around the pieces of wood. green undies.

[@superlonely2375]

I found my first pineapple fossil 5 years ago... still one of my favorit finds 🍍❤️

[@billrobbins5874]

Haven't watched in awhile. Very interesting finds! Believe in Texas some guys do the river walk and find quite large ammonites. On u-tube. From shark teeth to horse tails. The size difference from todays quite different. Nice video, appreciate your sharing. 👍👍👍

[@robertmaxey2158]

It would be nice to see you dispose of the trash you grab instead of tossing it back into the water.

[@PaleoCris]

We often times do, but it is literally impossible to dispose of all the trash we find in a day. Some places are actual old dump sites.

[@BIGALL7777]

Congratulations on your first Horsetail fossils Chris ! That was an epic and fun adventure with the crew. Love your group hunts and the finds were awesome. Best regards and wishes to all of you !

[@mikepetrucha2774]

I've been waiting for the PaleoCris version of this trip. It's great when you are all together because we get twice as much of your crazy adventures!

[@thomasperrett9576]

34:12 The Ornamental Pear you saw there is a Cum Tree! They are grown really commonly here in Melbourne, Australia along streets and look great when blossoming. Only thing is they have a terrible stench like rotten fish or, and this is what they're known for here, semen.

[@pixazelz]

They are also invasive . One of the worse human's mistake

[@comic_book_emporium]

If yall ever make it around Oklahoma I'd be thrilled to take yall hunting for ammonites and trilobites

[@RichDenman]

I wonder if you could polish the pyrite like a cabochon and either have the squares be naturally distinct or even acid treat it to bring out the pattern.

[@maisiefreeman8597]

It's mind-blowing that you can see cousins of those enormous horsetail fossils still growing today over 200 million years later. Also - the dinosaur claw, we'll need an update on that - excited to see if you can narrow it down to a genus.

[@inherentwisdom]

Love your videos. I'm in South Mississippi and my son and I are always finding new creeks to fossil hunt for. So far haven't had nearly as much luck! You're living the dream. :) PS: They're pretty, but Bradford Pears are pretty invasive. And usually smelly.

Me and my husband just got back from a trip to fort clinch and myrtle beach and only found a few teeth from the fort but were totally shocked at how many we found at myrtle just walking the beach. I haven't gotten to id them all yet but there were a few of the nice crow like you found and a ton of sand tigers and one really awesome great white and so many more yet to be identified I'm pretty new to it still and some just look really similar to me. Great video I love the pure joy in every find

[@MadeByKC]

What people do with the 🦷 tooth ? And how come the shark tooth is in the creek? Thanks

[@fishimust4766]

You guys should be aware that the Alabama Cottonmouth snake is commonly found around water. They can be very aggressive and are poisonous. We here in Bama call them water moccasins.

[@tagkatelyn]

From north alabama and was wondering what part you're in this video ? Have you checked out wm browning cretaceous park in baldwyn County mississippi? Lots of shark teeth there

[@debratycer3242]

What part of Alabama are you finding these wonderful pieces?

[@mybackhurts7020]

We missed you

Great show. When I hike of fish I pick up some human garbage. It's not your responsibility to pick it all up, but a little is nice.

[@americanpatriot430]

Where is this if you dont mind telling me. Im in Alabama too and i know a place deep in the woods where there is a waterfall, caves, and a TON of fossils if you are interested.

Like to see some of finds cleaned up in another video.

Where is this located in Alabama?

[@sem1precious]

Thank you for posting this. I just moved to SE Alabama. The teeny tiny teeth are my favorite 😍

[@harrybond1485]

We have several coal measures deposits here in Iowa.I know of one place where you can unearth not only Calimites sp., but large sections of Lepidodendrons and realated species, some up to several feet long.Thare are mounds of Missippian age fossils thera also, which is the overburden.These contain trilobites, along with many orther fossil types.

[@marklumley619]

Maybe I’m just becoming an old cranky codger but saying “vert” instead of vertebra just sounds stupid not cool. Why is it when people who get into some hobby deeply, always have to shorten/abbreviate words to sound cool/knowledgeable? I think it just sounds lazy and not very professional

[@fun-galfaraway579]

Different folks Different strokes. Age is definitely a factor in your opinion. I'm on the border age of using abbreviated terms and not. I do both admittedly. I say speci instead of specimen. Drives my guy nuts. Lol I also work with this stuff everyday so I feel like the lingo is what is. I'm just happy younger generations are into it and spreading knowledge! 😊

[@rogerdudra178]

Greetings from the BIG SKY

[@karenmorley7678]

I'm at the part where you go for lunch and I'm hoping for something other than shark teeth. (Not my thing) but I see that you do find something different. Still watching! I love your videos!!

[@PaleoCris]

Honestly, shark teeth really aren’t my thing that much either. Nice ones are fun to find, but they are still just fish teeth. Not nearly as cool as tons of other types of fossils.

[@fado792]

Sigilaria. and no horsetail or no lepidodendron.

[@leslyeschoenhuth1107]

* WOW ~ Those are ancestors of "Joint Grass" of today [common name of "Horsetail" ~ ~ We would grab a handful of them to scrub our eating pots & plates, etc.. Never would have guessed.. Cool..

Are we secret watching some sort of polyamory vlog?

[@americanpatriot430]

Yes!

[@Cpt.BilboBagginz]

Being for north Alabama I would see all sorts of cool stuff, but I wasn’t into Rockhounding back then. I just looked for Artifacts which are everywhere down there. It wasn’t until after moved to Indiana that I got into hounding. I’m going to bring my gear with me the next time I go down. Should be a blast.

[@jimervin1376]

Just watched the video and it brought back some good memories. You were finding the same types of fossils I used the find on my grandparents farm in NW Alabama many, many years ago including the pyrite nodules. I assume it’s that same layer on ancient seabed in that area. Very cool! Thanks!

[@tobiasfrey2793]

For some reason I was making Kyle puns all the time while watching the video - Kyle style in the beginning, the Kyle pile while collecting shark teeth, the first Calamite hefound was a Kylamite, ...

[@jimjustice581]

The little crow shark tooth looks killer. It looks like someone combined a razor blade and a saw. Brie is a shark tooth magnet! Great finds, guys ‘n’ gal! I wish I could join you, but I’m fighting two wasting diseases and can no longer get out. So, I’m living vicariously through your videos. Thanks for sharing. Enjoy your energetic youth!

Wait is that Catomo Creek? I used to go Fossil Hunting there decades ago when I was a student at Auburn University.

[@staceysaunders6857]

Why do shark 🦈 teeth turn all black/tan/grayish & black? How old are teeth once they start turning into that stage(s)?

[@kellybelcher2319]

Nice finds! I hunt cretaceous spots, and you found mostly goblin shark teeth, an extinct species of sand tiger, squalocorax shark teeth, and what I believe (though I am not sure) are some species of otodus? Awesome to see another super cool video!

[@s.engelsman4521]

How would I go about looking for fossils in limestone here in Kansas? Should I focus on the base of limestone areas or would waterways be more likely to have visible targets?
