Rock Hounding ⚡️ Fossils, Crystals, & Dinosaur Tracks in Texas Hill Country

[@ElectricUniverseEyes]

I found out the first one is called Amber Honey Calcite :)

[@bigred4340]

I have been looking all day trying to figure out these crystals I have and what they are and you just answered my question!

[@ElectricUniverseEyes]

@@bigred4340 NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@ElectricUniverseEyes]

Big Red heck yeah! Where’d you find yours?

[@bigred4340]

@@ElectricUniverseEyes north San Antonio, clusters popping right out the ground you can grab em and pull em out the dirt it’s really cool. Bunch of crystal shards litter the dirt at my spot.

[@ElectricUniverseEyes]

Big Red no way! I’m heading to Northern Hills as we speak! I’d love to go hounding after my meeting today! Is there a general area you’d suggest I check out?

[@evawilldrive]

Thank you for sharing! Lovely, relaxing. And so much to learn!

[@ferengiprofiteer9145]

That trackway you were walking on was pretty awesome to me.

[@madmaxxx69]

That's an incredible find. I have done a lot of rock Hunting in my day here in the gem state of Idaho and I have never found something that competes with that! Thats a real beauty my friend

[@ElectricUniverseEyes]

max A million I found out it’s called Amber Honey Calcite :)

[@oldgamerchick]

Hey Mad Maxx I was born and raised in Idaho. In Nampa. What town are you from??🙃☕❤

[@madmaxxx69]

@@oldgamerchick No way I live in Mountain Home not too far! Do you ever go rock hunting out here?

[@mrzuniga692]

I think the "glass" you found is Selenite. I found a seam in a crack of a creekbed in North Austin. It may not be impressive straight out of the ground but polished it is amazing. If I remember correctly they used sheets of selenite as windows back in the very olden days. Mother Nature is awesome. Love the Texas Hill Country.

[@ElectricUniverseEyes]

I found some selenite in North Texas a few weeks back, however the clear mineral I found was in fact Celestine(Celestite). It passed all the test including gravity test. It's HEAVY! =)

[@mrzuniga692]

Hahaha somehow I stumbled across this video again and didn't realize this was my comment. I'm so excited about the Celestine/Celestite find. That is awesome! IDK why but I love rocks and crystals [shiny stuff YAAAAAY]. Was any of it selenite? Now I must see more of your videos. Thank you for sharing 😊

[@agrarianyeti8134]

If you're in the San Antonio area, I recommend going to Leon Creek, at the southern end of O. P. Schnabel Park. The east side of the creek has a huge limestone cliff. There are caves, calcite outcroppings, and literal walls of fossils. The Creek itself has a lot of fossils to be found, mostly exogyms and a few amobites. The biggest plus is the whole area is forested, you don't have to cook in the sun

[@ElectricUniverseEyes]

Thank you!!! 🤜🏼⚡️🤛🏻

[@sonicvilleras]

Thanks! Looking at Google, is this East of the park going towards the Golf Center?

[@agrarianyeti8134]

@@sonicvilleras yes, but maybe between a quarter or half mile south of the golf course on the east side of the creek. The creek itself is loaded with fossils too! Good luck

[@sonicvilleras]

@@agrarianyeti8134 THANKS!!

[@tashacano3324]

Is that close to the stone sculpture garden? I've been to the park & found some little bits but I'd like to see walls of fossils.

[@dtjiangutube]

Amazing adventure. I am learning through your eyes. There is so much in the rocks the mainstream geologists don’t dare to change their traditions. It seems like you are on the edge of something explosive in terms of reshaping the scientific thinking. Keep rocking on!

[@ElectricUniverseEyes]

🤜🏼⚡️🤛🏻

[@LanceHall]

I bet the bedrock with the holes represent limey sands exposed near shore or low tide. The holes would be worm holes. There's a very similar layer at the Springtown city park in the creek and that layer contains theropod and sauropod dinosaur tracks. Also look a bit higher for a possible clay layer that capped off the layer and protected it. Dinosaur tracks there would be an important find.

[@sterling8298]

I have dug out baseball and softball sized pieces of these crystals.😊 Now I have a huge collection.😊

[@SamtheIrishexan]

On the north side of 1604 there are alot of carve outs. I find loads of flint, fossils, and have a huge piece of honey calcite from there!

[@ElectricUniverseEyes]

😍🥰😍 I love honey calcite!

[@du5tinthewind774]

Yep those crystals are effecting more than we realize! Did you know that many of the mysterious missing 411 events happened in locations with large quartz crystal deposits?!

[@sonicvilleras]

I want to explore and go rockhounding like this but where does one start? Is this a park? The side of a road? Can someone help with ideas. Thanks! I live in San Antonio

[@ElectricUniverseEyes]

I look for Interesting places online or Google earth. This was in north Austin area and surrounding cities

[@sonicvilleras]

@@ElectricUniverseEyes Nice. Where exactly? Id like to go this weekend.

[@ElectricUniverseEyes]

San Gabriel River / South Fork off 183. Go West to see Dino tracks. Go east to find Celestite (Celestine) pockets

[@sonicvilleras]

@@ElectricUniverseEyes leander dinosaur tracks, found it. Thanks brother!

[@bobzilla6734]

Is this a public trail? And if so where? I would like to venture it and rock hunt. 😁

[@ElectricUniverseEyes]

Which part? I was all over the place!

[@aliciaevansunderwoodproduc8219]

Somebody get this man a hammer! What a great video! This makes me want to show you all the cool rocks and crystals and petrified things I’ve found along my excursions🤓. I love that we have confessions of wild speculations from shadow you.😂

[@ElectricUniverseEyes]

Alicia Evans Muahahahaha

[@racheldawson5760]

This is it! The little broken round formations are so pretty. I’ve been trying to find one that looks like mine! I have a fossil imbedded in mine too I think.

[@ElectricUniverseEyes]

Yay!! I’d love to see it

[@sreebuszeebus1343]

Recommend Mudfossils University on KZbin for anyone interested in rocks and physics

[@gcrady]

" ROCK OF THE DAY " !! ( you knew it was coming). Man , that 1st piece was surely keeper. And, wth is a hardened, steel reinforced, 3ft of concrete walls, BOMB BUNKER,, with a hole blown out the wall,, doing out in the middle of nowhere ?? Only in Texas I guess, lol..

[@ElectricUniverseEyes]

Duplicat Remember the Alamo! 😅

[@ElectricUniverseEyes]

Duplicat Wait until you see what I went back for today! Just got back... whew! 3 hours there, 2 hours extracting, and 3 hours back! Your next Rock of the Day is as big as my face, but a whole lot prettier! 😂

[@garyfriedrick9941]

So you go fossil and gem hunting without a hammer?

[@ElectricUniverseEyes]

This trip I did. 😅 I was supposed to be traveling for work… got a bit sidetracked on my journey.

[@christopherTheCarpenter]

Brother I would love to bring a flat bar, and a wrecking bar out on that hike you went on and pry apart some of those layers. You are most certainly my kind of company, great video thank you so much for sharing your finds. ⚡♥️ when you went through the dry river bed and came upon the mud with limestone to shale to sand I would love to pry apart some of that. I wish we had somewhere like that in northern Illinois. 👍🏻 oh yeah water moccasins will always scare me I was a kid and got chased by one lol, guess that memory still creates fear, my heart raced when I saw that little fella lol.

[@ElectricUniverseEyes]

Christopher TheCarpenter I’m actually in route back to this spot as we speak! But with proper tools ⚡️⛏⚡️

[@christopherTheCarpenter]

@@ElectricUniverseEyes awesome good luck and I hope you find some nice crystals for the Mrs. And some cool specimens for yourself, be safe I can't wait to see what you find.⚡♥️😁

[@ElectricUniverseEyes]

John Pershing I definitely want to get a metal detector!

[@ThirdCoastElectronics]

soak that first one in 1 part muriatic acid 4 parts water solution for 30-45 seconds. it will look awesome afterwards. been awhile since I was able to look around that area. hit me up if you ever come down to Port Aransas area. I know a good spot.

[@ElectricUniverseEyes]

Thank you for that tip! I’ll give it a try. I shall remember if I’m down that way!

[@TheHiddenAgendaMedia]

What if any gems or precious metals can be found here in Glen rose texas area? If you don't mind me asking your opinion as you seem to be a hobbyist not just a hunter so i value your input, thanks ahead of time

[@SamtheIrishexan]

The layer you are looking at where the stone is fused if you are where I think you are here, is from a layer formed by volcanic eruptions under the sea during the last marine transgression roughly 100m years ago!

[@johnandrew9501]

Sorry if I missed it in the video but is this the Llano river?

[@ElectricUniverseEyes]

No, San Gabriel. Llano river has so much cool stuff though!!

[@du5tinthewind774]

Northern water snake. Not poisonous but they will bite if you try to grab em.

[@carolynpepper]

Is this near cedar park or liberty hill?

[@ElectricUniverseEyes]

Closer to Leander/Liberty Hill - South Fork San Gabriel River & 183

[@_pinkdiamondcollectionist]

Where is this location. ?

[@ElectricUniverseEyes]

Which part? I visited several places and started off near Georgetown off I-35, then west to Leander, and to the South Fork San Gabriel River.

[@rachaelkitchen8332]

Quartz and Gypsum are the clear and white crystals:)

[@Henry-xp7em]

Entertaining video. Interesting to see someone travel 3 hours one way to hunt fossils and crystals and use a pair of scissors to extract the specimens from the bedrock,

[@ElectricUniverseEyes]

Totally unprepared. Haha, went back a few weeks later with the kids and tools and extracted that big bad boy out 😁

[@stephenscurlock]

What river or creek. I'm a rock hounder from east texas

[@ElectricUniverseEyes]

It’s my belief any and all rivers/creeks were primarily part of the Lichtenberg system that was formed in antiquity. These are generally where you will find rocks you are seeking. These Dino track layers are exposed both in the Paluxy and the San Gabriels

[@SamtheIrishexan]

If you still go out rock hounding would love to go with ya I live in SA

[@ElectricUniverseEyes]

It’s been a while, but I’m sure I’ll be down to SA sometime! My day job usually keeps me traveling in NTX/OK/AR these days. I’m really excited to go to Arkansas in June.

[@bonnieunderwood4205]

some of those "filament" type structures look like stromatolites

[@RivalCobra]

Can I ask what river this is?

[@ElectricUniverseEyes]

San Gabriel

Those are chunks of quartz crystal they're common around the Oklahoma area

[@curtissmith1391]

Nope, those calcite. Softer than quartz and very common in the Edwards limestone.

[@SamtheIrishexan]

The crystals were likely calcite that freeze fractured.

[@ElectricUniverseEyes]

Yes, I've been in chats with Roger for a few years. We agree on some, and disagree on others. =)

[@benwinter2420]

Quartz = high current channels in the mantle from the holy mountain times . . perhaps , quartz is associated with gold . . an transmutation electric effect maybe

[@DreadEnder]

15:58 looks like quartz to me

Ended up being Celestite

Your video is interesting, but it's unwatchable. I had vertigo within 10 minutes. Buy a gimbal to stabilize the horizontal axis, and move MORE SLOWLY. Your real-world eyes can adjust quickly to your 3D environment. A KZbin viewer's cannot.
