I absolutely love fossils, these are incredible!! Thanks for showing us. And thank you Dutch for sending these to Agate Dad for all of us to see, they are so beautiful!!

[@lorigesch1295]

Sea lily is just another name for a crinoid. The living animal can look like a flower, hence the name. The longer pieces that look like a spine is a section of stem or arm of the animal that is comprised of the little rings you see. When the animal dies, they can break apart rather quickly if there is any kind of current, leaving oodles of rings. Crinoids still live in our oceans today, though not as abundant. I’d have to look closer, but I think what you referred to as sea lilies were shell fragments.

I would make a lot of long thinner cuts to show all the conglomerate of fossils throughout the Rock. Because there so small... This is awesome!!

[@laurieowen8696]

I have many fossils like that, but I never thought of cutting them. That was super cool. Fun! Fun!Fun!

[@robinslaughter1010]

Me too!

[@donnalantz7981]

The long pieces it the fossil soup are crinoid stems on their side. Still hooked together. Not just an end view. And they do have the star in the centers. So cool looking. 1 of the stones you cut had a small horn coral in it as well.

[@loristime6607]

I could look at these forever

[@diannetober3889]

Fossil soup --yum, yum! I just love it! You crack me up! I can always spot the "faces" or scenes you see in the stones. It's such fun!

[@patriciamckean4186]

Crinoids small pieces round, the star in the center is common. Sometimes the stem will be whole. These organisms are common in fossil soup or a death plate. I also saw what appears to be a horn coral on the outside of one. You can even find what appears to be little beads (crinoid) pieces.

[@janehelbert7551]

Thank you Dutch!

[@jessicadavenport2808]

That last big one looks like the Milkyway. LOVE IT!!!!❤

[@roccoelliot]

So cool! I feel like that vertebrae looking one looked like a dragonfly tail!

[@sidar5158]

I watch your videos from Turkey and I enjoy them very much.🇹🇷

[@AgateDad]

Thanks!

[@ChristiaHall]

That looks like a bunch of vertebrates that have come apart, but one that was intact looked like it was two-headed! Just missing the heads, but still the necks. So cool.

[@danasamons2937]

The crinoid with the star in the middle is an ancestor to today’s starfish. Thank you for this video! The rocks you cut today are what I find on Lake Michigan beaches in southern Michigan. So amazing that those fossils are 350 to 500,000,000 years old!

[@dalekline3612]

This channel is so relaxing to watch. I love the passion you have for it and how easy your voice is to listen to. I like seeing natures beauty revealed with every rock and the excitement you get from it. Keep up the awesome work.

[@desireegoulett69]

You obviously didn't see me cringing the way he holds the rocks with his thumbs pushing toward the saw blade every time he makes a cut....and I don't care if its a diamond tipped blade that will cut rocks or your nails but theoreticaly not your skin....it still freaks me out....lol

[@dalekline3612]

lol@@desireegoulett69

[@valeriereneeharper]

I mostly saw crinoids (fragments, and stems) and one horn coral. I love crinoids

[@lorigesch1295]

The mesh like material that reminded you of coral are Bryozoa.

[@AgateDad]

Thanks!

[@LauraNielson-b3g]

Thanks Doug! I love fossil soup! The Lily ones were pretty too, they are so beautiful on the outside but I think if you polish them they would be so beautiful on the inside too just so different. I do think you need a microscope. It would be absolutely amazing to see all those little dudes!

[@SissyMchill1]

Now I know what a few of my rocks are. Thank you for posting this. I was struggling to identify those rocks I have. 😊 such awesome rocks.

Fossil Soup and Fossil Packstones are fun to find.

[@melindakeith4103]

Thank you for sharing your videos. I love all the little fossils!

[@AgateDad]

Glad you like them!

[@loristime6607]

I love this in particular. Not sure why. Maybe it’s because I assume all of the remnants in the stone were once living, and not just geologic elements, if that makes sense.

[@leannaerickson9745]

Freat cuts, all of them. Let know. if you find out more about these fossil animals. These stones are like children: They are all beautiful. You don't have to choose favorites. Thanks for sharing.

[@lindakinchela8776]

So amazingly beautiful. You have got my creative mind working overtime. You should be selling your product get into designing of tiles for bathrooms, kitchens, tables, benches. Would love that in my house ❤👍🏾🤘🏾

[@RobertsRideAlong]

The first piece you cut right after the lily things had the spine looking thing. If you look at it closely, it looks like the South Carolina state seal with the palmetto tree and the moon.

[@ShannonG2016]

Those was very unique and beautiful 🥰

[@meg2831]

The sea Lilly ones look kinda like old water color painting or something. Pretty neat.

[@derdodo1993]

Those are actually just clams/mussels. It's actually the crinoids that are the sea lilys, it's just their scientific name.

[@cynergy4]

A microscope would be awesome indeed!

This fossil soup is fantabulous, so enjoyed this video.

[@deniseview4253]

Very interesting fossils. The ones you weren’t very impressed with looks like paintings of blowing leaves. I thought they were pretty.

[@patriciakaufmann2229]

Thanks to you too!!! Always enjoy your show!!!

[@CedarStoneCreations]

Reminds of Turitella Agate! Cool stuff.

[@TracyC-js8di]

Those are so awesome cut open... I live off of lake Huron... I love your channel!!!

[@joang.cavanna2046]

The star is the center of a crinoid stem piece - the circular piece. If you look at the smaller circles, many will have stars too. The fossil soup rocks are amazing. The brown and white ones are incredible.You're right, it would have been nice to leave on whole. If you find out what is in them and in the fossil soup, please make a video and let all of us know. I love your videos. Thanks for sharing.

[@wendylm728]

The soup rocks remind me of satellite images of cities. So Cool !

[@annemarie9271]

Make coasters out of them. Gorgeous!

[@Darklydreaming6666]

Very cool stuff

[@lisamills-wv6nc]

It's interesting to think how old those little critters are in those stones. Pretty amazing! 😊

[@MrTurtleMontana]

Crinoid packstones are one of my favorites! I'm not sure what thosr whispy ones are.... If you think they look cool now, you should hit them with the UV. It makes them POP!

[@jimdutcher6678]

The wispy ones are commonly called fossil packstone

[@secularsunshine9036]

*Let the Sunshine In...*

[@janlester4399]

Mostly crinoid stem sections, a few very cool longer intact pieces of crinoid stem. The crinoids are the “sea lilies”, there are a few related species alive today. On the last rock in the first batch you cut, I think there may have been a cephalopod…related to the nautilus, but not curled up like a snail. I do love fossil soup! I found a few like that on Lake Michigan last week, visiting WI.

[@CelticDruidess1]

Those are SWEET !!!!!!! I love fossils

[@tanekarnes5260]

Those are really cool. I agree with you, a microscope would be awesome looking closer. I also wonder if a thin slab of one would let bits of light in or glow? Since they cut quick, do they take a polish?

[@jodyroe5703]

Sweet Rocks!❤❤

[@janehelbert7551]

The death plates were my favorites!

[@kristenkrueger5527]

Wow so exciting and interesting! Thank you and thank you to Dutch ❤️

[@darrinwilliams5715]

Fun cutting video. Kinda like a dud or stud with fossils. I think not cutting that big one was a good choice. Good video Taylor.😎

[@AgateDad]

I'm glad you think so boss! It was fun!

[@peggyallen6084]

I loved the ones that were so pretty on the outside ( I guess it would be called the husk).

[@sheilastahl633]

I have one Fossil Soup stones from CA. I loved seeing your cuts and how they look inside. Ps It sure looks like your fingers are so close to the blade when cutting.

[@ashleyclem4633]

I love when you do the fossil ones🎉🎉🎉

[@nivdel]

Looks like galaxies in the sky.

[@dianejohnson9204]

Beautiful❤

[@timpaxew712]

These mass death assemblages are caused by a mudflow covering part of the reef! They’re pretty common as storm/ hurricane deposits in shallow reef ecosystems ! (Also you’d love looking at turtilla agates, they’re agatized fossil soup!!)

[@paulabrandt3922]

Would love the sea lily patterns printed in wallpaper!

[@greeneyedgirlina]

I LOVE love these fossil rocks. But that first one you cut reminded me of how my brain felt when I struggled with simple high school algebra. Some look like I’m looking down from way up high (space) into an old tin of a button collection or charms. Fun fun. Would you sell me the half with the little star?

[@FindingPebbles]

Very interesting.

[@AgateDad]

Very!

[@nikkibranigan7888]

Crazy imagining how they got like that!! Ever try putting under UV?

[@AgateDad]

I don’t think they light up

Check out Wild Kyle from Florida. He comes to Michigan to visit his mom so maybe... The fossils are so cool.

[@chrisbgifford7387]

I saw sunglasses in the triangular rock. One of the fossils looked like the body of a dragonfly.

Son foramíneos,pequeños fósiles,amonites,caracoles, bivalvos,es una sopa, he visto que hay varios amonites desenrollados,no están enteros,son esos pequeños tubos con lineas que lo atraviesan horizontalmente,también he visto un brazo de crinoideo y está muy bien,lo que dices es una estrella,no lo es,es un brazo de crinoideo cortado o roto,son así,la mayoría tienen forma de estrella, tanto en su interior como en el exterior,tu tienes un brazo muy bonito en una de las piedras,parecen plumas y está intacto pero no completo,este animalito vivía anclado en el fondo del mar poco profundo su cuerpo es alargado y termina como el capullo de una flor y de ahí salen sus brazos. Tengo uno entero con sus brazos y su cuerpo,esta lleno de fósiles iguales a tus piedras, hace años que lo tengo y nunca me atreví a limpiarlo. Siguen existiendo y se les llama lirios de mar.

I was thinking the other day you need a microscope some of them geode crystals you cut would be awesome under the mic! Do it 🔬

[@kellyharper367]

Old disabled house bound dusty rusty rockhound here: What I want to know... is it microcrystalline enough to take a polish! If it does... I want to wear a piece. My experience with this age of fossils is in oil shale and sand stone back in Oklahoma. Other than turretella agate, I've not seen fossils in rock solid enough to work it in the lapidary lab. 😊

[@canadiangemstones7636]

They are soft, but do take a nice polish.

[@diannew5264]

I have dragged home buckets of rocks from along the north shore over 40yrs, I wish I had a saw to cut them.

[@tiffanyselig6726]

Wow I live in Las Vegas and would love to share some of my findings with you. I come from a 3rd generation mining family im not a professional either but i have been exposed to the world of rocks my entire life. I'm now 60. Found my first dinosaur egg a little over a year ago and it's been me out in the field since. No gold fever I have dinosaur fever. But I have to tell you everything we know and have been taught and still being told is not real. Your stuff Is so interesting . I'll show you another way of looking at these things. It might just change your life and the way you see the world. Congratulations on your discoveries

[@janettetippetts7942]

Agate Dad, Looks a bit crunchier than I like my soup. Very cool rocks though. Would the supposed sea lily you didn't cut be worth polishing so you could see the details easier?

[@m.jewell9107]

I'm curious about how you rock/twist the stone against the saw blade, rather than pushing it straight through. Secret technique or safety grip? Lifelong rockhound, hoping to get my own rock saw soon!

[@AgateDad]

Idk I think I just get bored and wiggle a bit

[@diannetober3889]

Amazing to see what's left from all those little creatures from the deep in the crinoid fossil stones. What was the two third and fourth from the last stones? PS: I don't have a blonde dog, but I find lots of my own long blonde hair in just about everything. 😊
