These River Banks are LOADED with Prehistoric Bones and Teeth | Fossil Hunting & Canoeing in Florida

[@PaleoCris]

PaleoPacks (highly fossiliferous gravel, loaded with shark teeth) can be ordered here! paleocris.com/paleopack Hit that thumbs up button if you liked this video!

[@sharibrown1668]

Definitely some good material for Paleo Packs on this trip.

[@suzsladden6620]

I live in england how can l pay for one of your packs please

[@thegeorgiacreekwalker491]

That is a treasure trove of fossils and the way you can automatically identify what you’re finding is very impressive, Great Video, Thanks For Sharing, GL&HH.

[@TimG333]

Thank you Chris & Bree for showing us your fossil hunt. 🙂👍

[@amandathurston2720]

14:39 great information! I have tons of conch shells from those grey clay layers of earth! I’ve gotten my little nephew into fossil hunting just by taking him on fossil hunts along the roadside ditches! It’s so cool to see the excitement kids get from finding something so old they can’t even comprehend yet, but they know it’s special

[@sharbean]

Those horse teeth were awesome!

[@Mistress_Wolf]

I love seeing you and Bri out on awesome adventures

[@cynthiaswearingen1037]

Fossils everywhere!!! Of so many different types!!! You and Bri had such a great day!💖

[@robertabessey7990]

What a gentleman! I can't help but be nervous when you guys are so close to the croc infested waters. Love your channel. Thank you

Yes, yes, more fossil video. So much fun to watch, Bre and you are so cute together ❤

[@patifagan6774]

Excellent video. Thanks guys

[@sheaandtesla4599]

You guys are living life! I love seeing your videos I wish there were places like this near me. Much love from Perth Australia

[@Fishareprettycool]

I love all your videos guys you guys are the ones who got me into fossil hunting

[@leslyeschoenhuth1107]

* Love going along with you.. Not as many Shark teeth.. Thanks for showing where the Turtle fragment went. I Love to learn.. Beaver Tooth.. Nice..

[@secretdaisy6484]

Nice fossil finding trip. I live in Northern Kentucky and any place the dirt has been removed or washed away you can find Brachiopods and all kinds of other fossils laying everywhere. There’s a place near Maysville where you find Trilobites larger than your hand. It’s crazy. The whole state is on limestone which is responsible for the bluegrass in the greater Lexington area where racehorses are bred and the water that is used for the bourbon industry. I noticed you went to Michigan and found Petiskeys. I’ve been there too. Be safe and keep posting for us fossil nerds. 👍☮️🌞🌟🦴❤️

[@darcyedwards4417]

[@TheFossilFiend]

Great video, enjoyed it a lot!

[@JaneEllenMusic]

Fabulous journey on the creek! Hope you can get back there soon and find more sloth fossils!

[@wernberli]

Like how you backed up after the quick splash you made on the edge of the limestone. There are gators out there but usually avoid people. But a splash like that on the edge of deeper murky water is a signal that food may be struggling. I know you know that. Seemed like that crossed your mind as you did it.

[@PaleoCris]

You’re exactly right. The biggest alligator I’ve ever seen lives right near here. It’s tracks on the banks were way larger than my hand. I’m not messing around too much near that water here.

[@middleagecrazy4234]

Such a massive variety of bone and teeth

[@raygrange7312]

How you identify small pieces of bone is amazing.👍

[@jessicamermaid2438]

That was quite the assortment of fossils; nothing crazy but, all cool. I'm always happy for any of your fossil hunting videos, though.

This is amazing, what I wouldn't give to go on a fossil hunting trip with you guys

[@stevezozuk9622]

WoW Chris I hate to be the one to mention this but man you two better not think like Steve Irwin and think it will never happen to you. Please please stay a little safer than that. I would be sad to find out someone got hurt due to carelessness. You mentioned yourself that you couldn't see through the dark water. Love the show Chris great content that's super easy to follow , and again love the diagram explanations ,it's a perfect reference to follow. See you soon. Cheers

[@WightFossilTours]

Wow great video and finds 💪🤩

[@maryoneill5070]

I think you need to canoe back to this location and find more fossils here. I really enjoy everything you do. Enjoying nature and old stuff lol. Until the next ✌🏻❤️🙂🙏

[@lonewolf1401]

Great video you guys glad to see that you're so knowledgeable it takes a lot of stress away from trying to figure out what the things are that you guys find

[@Okiegirl85]

Wow, what is a muskovy duck doing our there? Never know what you'll see out there. Great video as usual guys.

[@PaleoCris]

We were very confused as well. I’ve never seen one in a place like that, but it seemed to be gone when we returned.

Near the end when you threw that large chunk of bone in the water I yelled "NO"! I'd probably want to fill the canoe with all the fossilized pieces of bone.

I want one of those tortoise spurs! So cool!

[@enirehtaksirrah7936]

That alligator skull would have been great for Bri's art work. Please do another skull hunting video

[@valiantwarrior4517]

That poor duck was probably like: “I fell asleep on the river and woke up here! Where am I?!” Gator fell asleep on a log. He’s probably wondering where he is too.

[@gracewashburn8276]

Dear friends, What a lovely country you have up there. I have been watching your vids many times and was wondering if you and this nice lady are more than good friends? Looking forward to your next adventure!!

[@PaleoCris]

Yes we are Carla. Thank you for watching the vid and commenting!

[@Canned_beef]

Now are you shoveling into the banks or just surface picking?

[@PaleoCris]

I never shovel into any banks. I don’t even carry a shovel with me anymore in places like this. Sometimes I’ll scoop some loose gravel/sediment with my hands, either from the water or accumulated inside potholes below the natural bank.

[@Whateverhasbeenmynameforyears]

You guys might want to go upstream when you have to get back to the same spot you start so you don't have to leave as much time at the end to get back. And if you get tired or someone gets hurt it is easier to get back going down stream than up.

[@bodge6886]

Is that all washed in or where they died?

[@piratepete842]

Y'all coming down to fossil fest in Tampa come March?

[@dizzysunshine74]

Wish I had subscribed to you when I went to Florida years ago. Kept finding these itty bitty "thorn" things. They were shark teeth🙄 Maybe I'll get to redeem myself one day lolol

[@maryhutt4263]

What's all the yellow stuff you guys are on?

[@joshuaglaude1549]

Chris, can any creek with the right area be searched for fossils, or what do you look for when choosing where to search?

[@melissas.117]

I love your videos too, and I would so love to go with you guys but I am old and live on the other side of the U.S. from you...pout pout. I was wondering...is there a place where I could send a picture of a rock I found to see if you know what it is? I have asked so many people online and no one ever answers. You two are so incredible with your identification you might know if my rock is a rock or something else. Thanks

Like Bree said that was a domestic duck that is a Muskovy male there must be a female nearby on a nest somewhere

try desert and near the ocean and rivers. I too live in California but have found amazing rocks, fossils and shells. Btw, some rocks are actually fossilized organs of animals. Hearts, kidney, etc. Happy hunting.

Where do you guys go to find this stuff

Hello I have a question about where are you in Florida because I am going soon.

[@danlarev6021]

This is so interesting. I would love to do this I live in central Florida 1 hr. north of Orlando any good spots around here that you could suggest

[@PaleoCris]

I know there’s a little dig site called Ruck’s Pit (which isn’t really a pit anymore) where you can pay to find calcite crystals just south of Orlando. That might be worth it for you.

[@whitewingdove7560]

Hi Thanks to you both! Great video There is a nice spot here where I live in Sarasota, Florida Look up fossil sites in Florida and there is a really nice location chart of what you can find and exact location, one nice spot Im investigating Saturday is a place right off the freeway (I-75) where a construction company dumps their diggings My fav spots are in Ohio Two nice dry riverbeds where small marine fossils (Nice Crinoids, brachiopods and ai found a Sweet tiny rolled Flexycalimine trilobite) great for kids Many tiny fossils are scattered around for the picking, no digging needed and you can keep what you find They are Fossil park in Sylvania, Ohio

I sincerely just want to be friends with you guys and go fossil hunting! Your videos make me want to go walking around the creeks on our tree farm looking for rocks. But then my family would be like... what are you doing.......... ! 😆

[@larrydrewett7779]

I found a tooth that appears to be identical to the horse teeth you found but I found it in Northern Virginia. Did they live this far north or is mine more likely modern?

[@Vshamann336]

[@thehobo-tographer7652]

How do you know where the gators are

[@PaleoCris]

You can see where they lay out in the sun because all the dirt is pressed flat, there will be slide marks into the water, etc. As far as where they are when we’re out there, we have no idea. They could be right under us, beside us or nowhere near the area.

[@PaleoCris]

Thanks Samatha. It shouldn’t be blurry unless it’s an internet connection issue. There should be an option beside the video to set it to full HD (1080p). Sometimes KZbin will auto select a lower quality, but you should be able to change that. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@calvinh.8882]

Imagine what you could find diving that place.

[@PaleoCris]

It crosses my mind every time, then I remember the alligator slide mark I saw last time with alligator footprints way bigger than my hand. Alligators of that size are legitimately scary.

[@calvinh.8882]

@@PaleoCris lol.

[@jokingrudolf76]

do you ever map your finds? I understand that context is lost already because of natural forces but wouldn't it still be helpful to at least record where they fossils are found? also, do you need permits? is it legal to keep all fossil finds? it would be helpful to share this information.

[@happyangler998]

How often do you hear/see weird stuff out there?

[@PaleoCris]

Depends on what you mean by weird, I guess. The weirdest things I’ve ever seen and heard were in more urban creeks. These remote areas are quite peaceful usually, except for when you come up on something humans have done (illegal dumps, makeshift shacks, etc)

[@MrJonashjensen]

what kind of catastrophic event would be the cause of so many fossils?

[@PaleoCris]

It’s not because of a catastrophic event. It’s because the limestone the area is made of as well as the clay is extremely mineral rich which leads to a rapid mineralization of the bone (fossilization). Not many places on earth have such a perfect environment for the preservation of fossils.
