This Popular Michigan Fossil Hunting Location is FULL of Incredible Fossils!

[@shannonreynolds4423]

Thanks Kyle for being so full of light and love! I’ve learned quite a bit from you. You also have a wonderful singing voice I just learned. ❤

[@melissalease5476]

And anyone not familiar with fossils could walk through there and not realize they’re walking over the fossils thinking nothing of it.

[@billrobbins5874]

Beautiful area and fossils. 👍

[@bacongod4967]

Crazy but true

[@bacongod4967]

When i first started out, I couldn’t find anything, but now it’s impossible for me not to find anything

[@megankimber8772]

Hey, this is Megan…..This was so exciting! I’m glad you have some friends along with you to be able to share the fossil gleeee! You have been finding such rich, plentiful fossil 🎉places lately. I’m happy for you! And it helps me build up my Michigan bucket list…oooo yeah all about travel and fossils and pretty colored stones along the shore, me want LOT OF IT. DREAMING!! Planning to meet up with some people with similar interests and go from there. Toot toot!

[@marybeth6272]

Awesome!!! I love Petoskey rocks and fossilized corals. Excellent song too! Thanks for sharing it with us 😊Love Michigan ❤️ 😍 ❤

[@JaneEllenMusic]

Unfreakin'believable!!! I would never be able to drag myself away. Congrats on finding so many awesome fossils! 💙💙

[@cynthiaswearingen1037]

My goodness, so many fossils, so many different ones! Sweet finds, Kyle!!! I hope your mom is doing well!❤

[@robertl6196]

I haven't been here in 30 years. Glad to see it hasn't changed much if any.

[@catherinewilliams3850]

Just amazed at the quantity and quality of fossils, wish we had places like that here in Wales UK.Your videos are fun and educational, you have some great friends. You have a lovely voice, I like your music and Happy Birthday for tomorrow.

[@abbywilson5988]

The UK has some of the most amazing fossils! Dorset is next door.

[@wenditaylor9708]

This was fun!! So close to home! Some of those horn corals are perfect poop emojis! 💩 Never stop being you! You are beautiful and you bring joy and adventure to people that can't do these things anymore! 😊

[@martha-anastasia]

LOL. I grew up in Alpena. Horn coral is on every roadside where they dumped fill. We called them fossilized dinosaur poop when I was a little kid.

[@mariemoss2475]

Some of those corals look like little Wizards hats , what a beautiful place... another great video 💕💕💕💕

[@melissajohnson1563]

Happy Birthday Kyle! You share a birthday with my hero and the best man I have ever known, my dad. He would’ve been 80 today. Loved your song ‘This town is gonna swallow you whole’ makes me think of Gainesville haha!

[@Catrina3732]

This is so cool!!! Im from and live in west Michigan, and have basically spent my childhood collecting rocks. I lived right by a gravel pit, and I was content to do it all day long. Funny thing is, my father in law owned several gravel pits in the area. Small world sometimes. It’s fun to see what you can find in Michigan. Also, cool thing here, all you have to do is search your landscape rocks. Keep coming to Michigan! Love watching and learning from your videos!

[@fionanorth1811]

Dear Kyle, a longtime ago, when I’d been a subscriber and enjoyed your videos for quite a while, I commented that while I enjoyed your presentations, sometimes you acted too much like a yahoo. That comment may have hurt at the time, and it certainly gathered some spirited defence from other followers. At the time I felt that sometimes your boyish enthusiasm overwhelmed your great content and knowledge, and unless we occasionally receive criticism, we might miss an opportunity to self evaluate. Any way, my comment today is that your videos, and the spirit that shows through them, is so lovely. No reasons to criticise now, I could probably even cope with an occasional reappearance of duckman, as I’m sure you know that your strength is not just in being a funny man. I’m also enjoying your music. Nice work.

[@WILDKYLE]

Hi Fiona! This comment really means the world to me. Thank you. I appreciate your willingness to be honest. I'm glad to hear you've been enjoying the videos and my music! ❤️

[@icatz]

There's an area in my state where at 7,000 feet you can be walking on nothing but agatized horn coral. The inland sea stretched down to northern AZ, 400-350 mya. It's a great feeling, isn't it, walking thru prehistoric times? TFS ❤️🎸🏏

[@MandaHepworth]

I only made it to the parking lot and had to stop because it got dark. Now your video shows me what I missed and i am going to have to schedule a weekend for it when the weathers nice

[@largent45]

You l had the most amazing time! Your finds were incredible! I hope you got a chance to collect a piece of that stromatolite. They are the coolest fossils! And the fossils you guys found at the beach were amazing too! What an amazing time! Thanks for sharing Kyle!

[@lisa-fg8zh]

Thank you, now I know what I found as a kid many decades ago near traverse city shoreline! My daughter still has in her china cabinet. So cool.😊

[@CretaceousCora]

This is so cool! Looks like so much fun. Adding to my bucket list!

[@deniseveiw7992]

Absolute beauty. Cool fossils. Michigan is a beautiful state. I've lived here ally life.

[@dustinfindsrocks]

I'm in love with that whatchamacallit tentacular? Super cool find! I've got to find a good fossil spot like that somewhere I know they're around Missouri. I've heard about lots of good road cuts around Springfield MO... Hopefully I'll find out soon! Safe travels Kyle! Love the song! You should put them in more videos!

[@WILDKYLE]

Tentaculite! They are so cool! Glad you enjoyed the song man. I definitely want to put them in more vids!

[@michiganpreparedness]

love Rockport State Park ..... great for swimming from the abandoned ship docks...

[@richconroy5559]

To those of you playing the Wild Kyle Brachiopod Drinking Game(TM), you have my condolences for that bit right up front. It's going to be a tipsy video, everybody.

[@joedadbod8450]

Great video, my friend! I have been finding very similar material in southwest Ohio recently before I just came back to Arkansas. It's so neat to hold history in your hands.

[@laurenconradie5328]

Another wonderful video, Kyle. ❤Your videos are so soothing to watch after a long busy day. Happy happy birthday for tomorrow, I hope that it is a truly wonderful day for you. Michigan is on the bucket list so hopefully 1 day I can find meself some ancient treasures for my collection. 🤞

[@WILDKYLE]

Thanks so much Lauren! I'm glad they can be enjoyable for you after a long day! Thanks for the birthday wishes!

[@kellyharper367]

Old disabled house bound dusty rusty rockhound here: I wish I was able to get out to that place...it looks like fossil heaven!

[@paulbettenga6202]

Great video Kyle! I love that there are so many really cool fossils in my state! I am also impressed with your musical talent. Reminds me of some of Chris Ledoux's slower ballads. Good stuff man! Keep it up!

[@aletaarmstrong4340]

Loved the fossils,and the song. You have a beautiful voice..

[@margieblackburn8445]

I always wonder what the world looked like in that time the fossils sure tell a story i love to know

[@marierowe5969]

Love the fossils love u and your music ..keep going ...xxxx ...your vids are great .can't do fossil hunting like u do here in the uk

[@obieobrien5883]

I hope you send Rob from Michigan rocks, some of the raw hexagonaria

[@taleandclawrock2606]

Beautiful voice and tune, what a crooner! 😍🤩

[@audraacklin9826]

Awesome tunes, man!! The fossils aren't bad either! ❤️❤️😃

[@patscnr]

That is an awesome looking area. I love rocky areas like that. Really cool fossils.

[@melindahawk8540]

Another adventure through watching you! Hope your moms doing well.

[@xyzabc847]

I was there last month with the MMS and Paleo Joe. Found plenty of cool fossils.

[@kennypowers3984]

Kyle and the gang never disappoint. Love the videos. Also, you can sing your arse off!!! Did you win that competition?

[@WILDKYLE]

I checked that the other day and apparently it is going until sometime in July! I'll make another post soon so folks remember to go vote more!

[@kennypowers3984]

@@WILDKYLE Best of luck!! ⭐

[@heidikoester]

Oh wow, what a dreamy location! 😍 I live in Milwaukee, Wisconsin near Lake Michigan, but I don’t find as many spectacular Fossels like you are finding 🙂

[@patriciabock4299]

Love the choice of your music! Great video!

[@heathervannatter364]

Horn coral looks like the sorting hat from HP. 😊

[@Ddelfossils]

Was out there earlier this month, found some fragments of boreolepis with my friend. Very cool site.

[@naomimakin1908]

Foldy rock😂 not heard it called that before, love it 🎉

[@barrypoontang]

was that a sponge or something at 4:30 just to the left under the one you pick up?

[@jackieforestieri3010]

Great voice, great song Kyle!

[@catatonia2001]

This looks just like some parts on Gotland, Sweden. I used to pick horn corals and other kinds of fossils all the time when I lived there. I miss it so bad.

[@patty4091]

You all needed an ATV, if for no other reason to carry your lovely finds back! 😂

[@eyupchuck1235]

Why when I see the horn coral fossils do I always think of Patrick Star 😂 from SpongeBob (if you know, you know!) 😂😂

[@peterszar]

We have a similar site just SW of the center of Buffalo, NY, located in Blasdell, NY, called the "Penn Dixie" site. Quite a few people go there fossil hunting, especially school field trips. It's in close proximity to the Lake Erie shoreline, I'd say 1 1/2 mile maybe, so there are plenty of marine fossils, i.e. Trilobite's, Brachiopods, Bryozoans ect. It's a cool place for fossil hunting

[@athelwulfgalland]

As cool as this site is I still think I prefer the sheer variety of fossils you recover in Florida! :) Still it was a great hunt, thanks for sharing.

[@nothingsnew184]

Müziksiz olması çok güzel olmuş bu video.Yürürken çıkan çakıl taşlarının sesi,çekiş sesi,hışırtı sesi gerçekten bir terapi.

[@brandonmyers4078]

Mr Kyle as always I’m looking forward to watching and hope your doing well and also I hope your mom is!! Sending blessings from the UK 🇬🇧

[@WILDKYLE]

Thanks so much my friend!

[@Kk-md5xr]

Hey Kyle nice to see you back in MI. Did you attend Kyle Fair in Kyle TX last month? Your music would have been a perfect addition for all the Kyle's.

[@markattardo]

Awesome hunt. Fun video👍👍

[@chrisbgifford7387]

So all of this was under a glacier or the great lakes were more of a sea? They are some really amazing fossils you have found. I wish you could spell some of these fossils and the sea name. It makes it easier to armchair research. Happy birthday, I turned 60 this year, a new decade. future is exciting!

[@BingShing]

Did she say “sprinkle sprinkle” LOVE IT!!! #Shera

[@laurieowen8696]

Sweet! Nice ending.

[@mirkatu3249]

Fun! :-)

[@codypontzius1184]

Can't wait for you and paleo cris to come to Indiana

[@geoWhite]

I enjoy your videos but I must say you have an amazing voice. take care

[@gloriamcdermott3174]

Love the music at the end

[@Dino24563]

It's such a great location

[@WILDKYLE]

Can't get enough of it!

[@cosmicbackwoods]

you got a nice singing voice my dude

[@janvafa9959]

I have to say you have a fantastic voice!

[@Jwaxx]

Happy Birthday Kyle! Happy hunting! ❤❤❤❤

[@beckiburke781]

Congratulations on your Album. Don’t ever hang up your hat 🙃

[@SandyFielding-cl4dc]

Hey Dude. We love Ur channel and my husband an I love Rock an fossil hunting and we've found crystal rocks and NO1 nos there there and we've picked up a lot of druzy crystal rocks. We think of y'all when we're out and would love 2 share the crystals. Haven't a way 2 get n touch with U but the crystals r all n the ditch and n the dirt rd. We spend hrs out there and the crystals shine like diamonds . Between Ga an Fla. Nutting spectacular but we have a ball everytime we go. Red clay sticky dirt rd. We've got awesome funds. Love U guys. Praying 4 y'all's safety and God bless. 🙂

[@jordanvanwinkle8950]

Kyle please take me and my husband with you the next time you go to this place,. Just kidding, not kidding, but seriously we love to find these types of fossils here in Adams County, Mississippi it's very rare to find the Petoskey coral but we do infact find them and also the Rugose corals, the crinoids and some times we find the horse teeth too. On a serious note we would love to go with you one day on one of your adventures to find the fossils that you show on your videos. Thank you for sharing them with us.

[@fossilswede]

Interesting and fun video as always! 👍👍

[@valsummers5330]

Sweet! Rock hunting and Love the shameless self promotion! Beautiful song

[@howardwest1347]

Love the song!!

[@calysta8439]

Pretty sure that orange spongy growth in the water was Xanthoria Lichen.

[@keithcunningham7925]

Wow that is a great place I need to get out there more

[@SaltwaterSean]

I love all your videos Kyle. Would love to join forces some day. I think you'd love it here in Nova Scotia. Welcome anytime.

[@astrialindah2773]

I really loved your video but wondered if you could be conscious of slowing down your camera...😜 I've been to that quarry many times and it is so much fun!

[@joannhempen8210]

Did u move from Florida? Did I miss something. Lol ❤ Thanks for all the amazing videos!!

[@RayEllaHoover]

Cool fossils !!

[@karlaconroy2099]

Reminds me so much of a couple quarry areas in Ohio and couple other spots near a river...I have been lucky over the last few decades .The weird stuff in the water in your video reminds me of something I saw near Lake Erie last year. It was yuck.

[@robertalderman1297]

Living it through you brother!

[@paleo1019]

Randy Blood is he's name right!? Awesome Geologist!

[@esztervizi7202]

Greetings from Somerset UK. I was wondering if you had seen any Mud Fossil Uni videos. If so what are your thoughts, I would be very interested to know? Love your films and cheerfulness..

[@graemero5532]

Great video.

[@This_Time_Next_Year_Rodney]

What do you do with all the horn coral you collect?

[@lisacates4185]

Your voice is awesome ❤🎉

[@Angrath]

It's a shame you didn't find any brachiopods or horn corals.

[@bw-ey4gp]

Are you from Alpena? This is crazy, my gramps worked that quarry in the 1950s, 60s, 70s.

[@WILDKYLE]

I'm not from Alpena, but I was born in Saginaw, MI!

[@bw-ey4gp]

So cool! My dads old stomping grounds. I'm in Clearwater and watch you, Rob, and Justin all the time. We don't have a ton of creeks but Alligator Creek was rerouted 100+ ago and am going today....holy god you just found a ground hutch in the vid I'm watching!!!

[@bw-ey4gp]

Your video when you found those straight side Gainesville Cokes is probably the peak of how exited you sound. Can you remember that feeling? So cool!

[@philmuller8069]

Do those hexagonaria coral , fluores with black light? I see the rock hunters around Lake Superior using black lights - and they find coral a lot.

[@nanak2025]

We are heading thru that part of Michigan later this fall, do you need to get special permission to go in that area Kyle?

[@elizabethlewis3509]

Can you polish those petoskey stones not weathered by the water?

[@WILDKYLE]

I think Rob said he polished one like that and he said it turned out pretty cool!

[@ccgsales]

You saw crinoids and clay... are there any trilobites in this area as well?

[@overland.viking]

Awesome video. Your explorations are always so interesting.

[@andrewwong3825]

👍

[@leslyeschoenhuth1107]

* So few crinoid stems.. ~ Hexagonaria fill with agate or chalcedony & that is what polishes.. not the coral framework..

[@conniecraddock8481]

So how do you clean off the outer matrix

[@mclane606]

Does the Southside of Alpena still smell like burnt tires and woodchips? I lived there on commercial street for 10 years 😊

[@martha-anastasia]

That plant finally closed.... unexpectedly about a year ago. I remember that awful smell.... used to go to St Mary's in the 60's and early 70's. Dad worked there many many years....

[@SweetPeaSaid]

Do you hunt in Northwest Florida?

[@rooster3597]

The great flood!

[@SandyFielding-cl4dc]

Wed love 2 send U a video of 1 of my best finds

[@brianwalker9185]

Golden piped rockhound....

[@WILDKYLE]

Thank you Brian!

[@Hellfire420-wh2tf]

i live in michigan in the thumd

[@fizur2002]

I can only imagine how nightmarish that horn coral would be to boaters/swimmers if it existed today.

[@djpitr]

Pretty cool ,I will be in the area in couple months , any way you can pin point me how do I find this place
