[@michellemevans3123]

My brother is who got me interested in rocks, fossils and geology as a child. He made it an entire career and life. Your sister is a lucky girl.

[@sheenamoore3938]

WildKyle n his Wild sister. What a great adventure. Thank you for taking me along.🇬🇧

[@mikepetrucha2774]

Those bones were from a bird, probably a gull or duck. The crinoid stems at the end were so detailed and beautiful. It's good you got to hang out with your sister.

[@melissaabbey641]

Thanks for taking us along to enjoy the "serene serenity" 🙂

[@WILDKYLE]

Hahahaa I noticed that part when editing. I think I'll use that more. 😂

[@melindahawk8540]

I see good looks run in the family . Looks like you’re having so much fun.

[@WILDKYLE]

❤️❤️❤️

[@teannabisso3847]

Never stop doing what you’re doing. I can just see thousands upon thousands of children watching this sentient inspired to go in a direction. They never thought they would go after watching you. I wish you were around 60 years ago so I could’ve been inspired like I am now thank you Thank you thank you thank you for all that you do. May God bless you and your family keep on keeping on. I thought I heard a rockhounder say that once I’m not sure which one though 😂lol

[@LizsCleopatra]

Very nice that you got to spend time with your sister too. So interesting all the different types of fossils you find.

[@patriciabock4299]

Awesome Crynode stems! Perfectly preserved! Love your videos and hello to your amazing beautiful sister!

[@donkeim434]

That orange speckled flower you noticed at 22:41 is known as Jewelweed, Impatiens capensis. It is an annual that readily reseeds. Pretty plant.

[@Berndaddie]

Always a fun adventure Kyle. Nice to see you back in Michigan with your sister. Hopefully Natalie can come out with you next time.

[@williamchristy8123]

Kyle, I collected one summer when I was 12. I just got started to collect. There were fossil ever where. That was a start to me becoming a geologist. That was in the mid 60's. Have fun.

[@chriskeenumhighhopesoutdoors]

Your Sister is a beautiful young lady. Always enjoy your hunts, love seeing a WILDKYLE notification on my phone 👍

Yay i love getting a WILDKYLE notification 🎉

[@stellaandstone2348]

Thanks for sharing your peaceful visit to the lakeshore and your finds! Yesterday I was able to go with my local gem and mineral society on a trip to the Lake Michigan lakeshore. We were mainly collecting septarian nodules, but I also found some small pieces with crinoid stem pieces! It was a gorgeous day, and the water was wonderful! It is wonderful to get out in nature and collect!

[@WILDKYLE]

That sounds like a fun time! My video just before this one was hunting for septarian nodules on Lake Michigan!

[@sherrie545]

So many beautiful fossil’s everywhere! So glad to see you and your sister hanging out together and having fun!

[@jaklyncraft666]

I am so happy to watch you, Kyle. I always look forward to your fossil hunts.

Thanks for taking us along. Always cool to hang out with you. Those death plates are awesome.

[@tammy4695]

Hi, Wild Kyle and Wild Sister!

[@dartmart9263]

The bones you found? Looks like a wild cat or some wild canid took down a young goose. What you called a “scullcap” is really the breast bone.

[@lisawilson3759]

Your sister is beautiful! Awesome video!

[@jodyjohnson6929]

Hi Kyle, I'm enjoying your videos! Also, live 1 mile from Lake Michigan & hunt agates etc,, learned about some fossils from you & and the Yooperlite rocks. Now, I am looking for a Petrified wood that is Agatized.. keep up the ausome videos,, 😊

[@farmgirl7080]

Love this video. We live on a farm in Southern NJ and we find horn coral all the time in the plowed up soil. My kids and I would fossil hunt right after the plows went through. They love to fossil hunt to this day. We take trips to Big Brook in Colts Neck NJ. Lots of shark teeth and remnants of squid. Scallop and clam shells too.😊

[@JW-fe5zv]

Brings back so many happy memories of me hunting. I have a lovely crinoid stem from the Carboniferous in Northern England. Wish I could show you.

[@firechicken455adventures]

Those two detailed crynoid stems at the end are very cool. Thanks for sharing.

[@nancyjahn4224]

I live about two hours from there been wanting to go and check it out. Sturgeon point light house is a fun place to rock hunt. It’s also very pretty just to hang out and have a picnic.

[@WILDKYLE]

It's definitely worth checking out! I always come home with cool stuff when I go to Partridge Point or Rockport.

[@beckieg8479]

Us nerds nerding out over beautiful fossils love it 😂❤❤❤

[@wouterx333]

23:50 that's the sternum of a seagull, as a kid i found one at the beach and was stoked thinking it was a cool skull. Took it to my biology teacher and she told me it was a seagull sternum.

[@albertseguin5163]

That orange flower is a dragon snap. I love them when you touch the green pod looking things on them they snap open. cool flower

[@thart6103]

Fun video! The small death plates are so cool! ❤️

[@suerolf3268]

When I was a child I would find chinois stems as single worm beads, with holes in them. I always felt they were made into bead by early native peoples. 😊

[@suerolf3268]

Geez spellings 😂 crinoid Worn

[@joannhempen8210]

Amazing! I enjoyed the heck out of that❤❤

[@triple_A_rockhound]

[@upnorthoutdoors989]

Heck yeah, good stuff.

[@mirkatu3249]

The blastoid @29:10 is in such great shape it almost looks as if it was sculpted. :-)

[@jodiestevensbean7850]

I love watching your videos! They take me back also. I grew up in Michigan as an avid rock and fossil collector. And now I live in Florida and have converted to Florida fossils when i get the chance. Thank you! ❤

[@paulwells782]

That Crinoid stem at 31:08 is gorgeous!

[@valiantwarrior4517]

I agree. Looked like it could have been alive not long ago.

[@theresaroberson2706]

I absolutely love Partridge Point! And Rockport Quarry! I don't ever want to leave when I'm there! Fossils galore 😊❤️ Thanks for the video Kyle. Hope you are doing well.

[@josepha5685]

Great Video Guy's 😊❤❤

[@Fundthapolice]

22:21 where the bees are loaded with pollen looks like a face in the rock. Especially when you watch it on a 85" tv

[@jaklyncraft666]

Stunning location, Kyle

[@MichaelaC531]

I will need that in writing Kyle.....haha! Me being called a Nerd!!! Wish there were more places where I could fossil hunt, even if I don't find anything. Could watch you all day. I also learn so much from you and share it with friends who are none the wiser.

[@cynthiaswearingen1037]

So many amazing fossils, Kyle! Yep, I'm definitely a nerd!🤣❤️

[@nhrockaholic6038]

31:12!!! Amazing crinoid!!😊

[@sanchapa5185]

I love the mini death plates. I’ll buy one😊

[@Beezer.D.B.]

We’ve had some really warm weather recently in Michigan, often competing with the mid to southern States. But it’s cooling back down to normal now, thank goodness. 🥵

[@tressinar]

Awesomeness

[@billiondollardan]

I'm definitely heading to Alpena soon. I hit Whitefish Point last weekend and it was awesome for rock hounding, just like everyone said. I

[@melissahall2554]

At time stamp 4:06 there was an arrowhead laying there between the other rocks

[@5stepkitties]

Wow. I need to take a trip to Alpena.

[@graemero5532]

Thanks WildKyle and WildSister 😁

[@kryzprigmore7858]

Great video as per usual Kyle educational 100% :)

[@GREEKEXPLORERS]

Amazing video!! Thanks for sharing!!

[@rbartig]

Was there earlier this summer with the family. Great place, found a lot of fossils.

[@markvonwisco7369]

22:40 Impatiens capensis or spotted touch-me-not. The "touch-me-not" is because the seed pods explode when you touch them.

[@thomashines1546]

Awesome video Wild Kyle. Very interesting

[@pinkypam5112]

When I was a little girl I had a whole collection of fossils from Grosse Ile and Lower Huron Park, they were given to the Detroit science museum. Michigan is a treasure trove.

[@morganrowe2330]

Fascinating Kyle, thanks!

[@Kathyjohnson-uk1wp]

I have to get back to Alpena to do some fossil hunting. I got jealous over the great stuff you were finding!

[@secretdaisy6484]

Nice video. I live in Northern Kentucky and you wouldn’t believe the fossils lying everywhere. Beautiful whole Brachiopods are on the ground all over the place. There’s a lot of crinoid columns, coral, graptolyte etc. I can tell you where all the formations around the city of Cincinnati are and also the end of the last glacial moraine that’s about 12 to 15 miles north of the city. You don’t have to wade in a creek. The fossils are lying out on the ground wherever there is an exposure which is everywhere. Also, there is a museum at the Blue Licks Battlefield with Trilobites larger than your hand. I’ve always wanted to go hunting for them in that area. It’s outside of Maysville. You would love it. 👍☮️🌞🪨🪸

You found wonderful things there....I would like to have such wonderful things in our country (Romania, EU). Congratulations!

[@canadiangemstones7636]

You have fossils of dwarf dinosaurs in Romania! (And fantastic minerals.)

Added to my northern Michigan adventure for next year.

With. Two bad knees and over 65 I can't do the fun stuff you can do. So I sure enjoy your work, fun and adventures. Thank you. Leta

[@jackiebroder9514]

The orange flowers are jewelweed. Supposed to be an ancient remedy for poison ivy

[@coreya1372]

It does take stinging nettle away when you rub the stem on the affected area

[@lesHanalala]

Crush a stem, use the goop on skeeter bites!!

[@janicegelbhaar7352]

They are Jackie

[@Emeraldwitch30]

Jewel weed crushed does deactivate the irushiol from poison ivy. I have used it a few times on my aunty who keeps forgetting what poison ivy looks likes and crawls right into it. Her new house was covered in it. But their back yard had a lot of jewel weed. So we pureed a bunch and rubbed it all over her and then had her shower with cool water(hot water spreads it into your pores ) and fels naptha soup. She didn't break out in hives. I haven't tried it with stinging nettle.

[@katiemaki5740]

I'd just wear water shoes. Lol

[@jaklyncraft666]

I really like the "death plates" you find Kyle. Lots of different fossils in them, i would love to own one.

[@FjHenderson]

Yepp Kyle, even though it's been an extreme wet summer here in Michigan, the water levels haven't risen because of the dry winter and lack of snow in the north.

[@valiantwarrior4517]

The bones are a bird of some sort. Maybe a goose or large duck? The piece that looks a bit like a lower jaw is called a furcula-in a turkey it’s commonly called a wishbone.

[@kirsiselei8703]

Uuu great finds❤i really love those little round ones(cant remember the name😂) Great day u 2 had❤👋🇫🇮

[@karenjones7111]

That's a great area. Would love to get there one day. I have found awesome death plates in Kentucky.

[@bubbaray_1968]

The stacked up rocks looks like someone was making a waterfront bushcraft shelter.

[@CherylGannon-w8p]

I agree that the plant is jewelweed, also known as spotted jewelweed and also touch me not. If you touch a ripe blossom it will fire its seed pod out of the flower throat.❤many terrific specimens today

[@melissaabbey641]

The stunning orange flower is jewelweed. The seed pods explode when they're ripe and shoot the seeds away from the parent plant. the juice is said to be good for mosquito bites and poison ivy

[@WILDKYLE]

Ohhh! I remember seeing those shoot the seeds out when I was a little kid. Didn't know these were the same ones. That's awesome!

[@NancyF-c5f]

I’ve never seen such a detailed crinoid stem as he found towards the end. Hi can’t wait to get there…maybe next year.

[@markattardo]

Great video! Appreciate the extra info about your finds👍👍

[@marshamulye8068]

[@cherylradabaugh2720]

I used to find crinods ,etc in the various gravel piles at work .and even some fossilized horse tail bits.

[@brandyfulbright1929]

[@Gloria-qy3dd]

Hi Kyle,hope you find the greatest fossil today.

[@Dreamworld986]

The orange and yellow flower is Jewelweed.

[@canadiangemstones7636]

Complete blastoid and crinoid calyxes on a beach is phenomenal! Wicked cool beach.

[@Whateverhasbeenmynameforyears]

A lot of people call the parts on top of the crinoid arms. So neat looking the ones you found.

[@Aramintava]

The pretty orange flower is called Jewelweed or Spotted Touch Me Not. You can make a salve from it for poison ivy itching!

[@barbarajarrett3185]

That hooked looking piece...what came to mind was Grinch coral. 😂

[@Howard-bj1jq]

I grew up in SW OhiO collecting Ordovician fossils in the Cincinnati Arch, which is older than where you are collecting (about 450 million years old). The fossils there are often complete and undamaged. I found several crinoid calyx with the pinnules present. Also, several very nice flexicalymene meekis, both rolled and flat.

[@robchilders]

The skeletal remains are of a good sized bird. Really large wishbone. The small orange flowers are jewelweed, also known as spotted touchme nots. If you ever get into Arkansas you can find crinoids bigger around than you thumb. Really nice Ordovician limestone at Richland Creek Wilderness Area.

[@KACn5582]

We were there last summer and the rock "throne" was there. I am surprised it lasted through winter ice.

[@WILDKYLE]

Oh wow! That's awesome it's lasted so long.

[@Ladyblue76]

When I was a kid like 50 years ago our parents used to take us to a place north of Traverse City called Omena Point to hunt Petoskey stones and we always had the best fun. Don’t know if the park still exists or not but it was a great place. The other rocks we liked to hunt is Pudding Stones.

[@yomama8873]

Cool🤩🤩💖

[@gort3791]

Awesome adventure ! One wonders where are all the fish fossils ? Does this deposit predate fish ?

[@WILDKYLE]

The only fish fossils I've seen in Michigan are in Rockport Quarry and it's only the scales that fossilize. You pretty much only find them fragmented, but it's still awesome when you find some!

[@AlphaGatorDCS]

weird...this didn't show up in my feed even though the bell notification is on. welp, glad I found it
