We Found Crystal Filled Geode-Fossils and Squid-Like Sea Creature Remains in Kentucky's Roadcuts!

[@glitchyentity2117]

Love seeing people fossil hunting. I'm a part of the Kentucky Paleo Society and we do hunts every month. It's a great hobby!

[@catherinerittenhouse1683]

I'm in Indiana. Where on earth is the best area to take kids Rock hunting there? We came for a few days and didn't find a thing!

[@tiffanylamkin4801]

Live in Kentucky how do you get on a fossil hunt?

[@mr.raptor_541]

How do I join the Kentucky paleo society? I am a fossil lover from Kentucky, and would love to join a group of people like me

It was cool when you flipped the one stone with the large brachiopods to find the living Isopods crawling all over the bottom. They maybe fossils themselves one day.

[@Groovyghosthunter]

I grew up in Kentucky -- I'm still here, annnnnyway ... I'd dig up brachiopods all the time when I was little and for some reason, I called them petrified walnuts. 😀 I'm a lifelong rockhound and I surely enjoy your show. Thanks for the content!!

[@WILDKYLE]

I always thought that the Fenestella bryozoans were snake skins when I was a kid hahahaha. Thanks for watching my friend!

[@joanneriley3899]

6:04 where they wood louse?as a kid I used to call wood louse, baby armadillos 🤷‍♀️

[@jodilynn9514]

Omg those are my favorite cheezits!! We just purchased 200 acres in Kentucky. First time I went searching I found a tree bark fossil, dated approximately 420 million years ago! I’d love for you guys to come check out or place!

[@largent45]

Wow! Those were some amazing fossils!!! Every one of those road cuts were amazing and held some outstanding fossils! I love Kentucky for that! So many bryozoans, and cephalopods, and brachiopods! And trilobite molts! It's just so amazing! My little brain is just melting from seeing all the fossils! I love fossils! Thank you for showing all the amazing, wondrous, fossily, goodness! It was awesome! Thanks Kyle!

[@sheenamoore3938]

Thank you for taking me along with you. You're so lucky to live in a place you can just go find fossils. Loved the song too.

[@paulkline9122]

At 21:00, you have a stromatoporoid, an extinct sponge in the Ordovician-Devonian. An early advisor of mine was a leading authority of stromatoporoids. RIP Mona!

[@graemero5532]

Thanks for taking us with you & Ariana.

[@kimrush6481]

I live in Western Kentucky, and I have absolutely loved going creekin and finding geodes and many cool fossils!

[@carolmack3232]

Oh wow, thanks for taking me home! Yes, that plant is honeysuckle. Smells great, it's pretty, but very invasive. Love all the fossils you all found. I used to love looking for different ones as a kid. Those are really cool.

[@Julianne955]

Unbelievable! And in a road cut, how on Earth?! Such cool finds Kyle and Ariana. Thank you both once again for taking us along on your adventures! Have an amazing week!

[@megankimber8772]

This truly was a place of exceptional bounty. My mouth was hanging open most of the time. I honestly covet what you found…..🎉

[@joanneneece9309]

The "two fer" coral you found at 17:50 is a brain coral I think. Little baby ones. Very cool! Every time I watch your videos i'm smiling all the way through. Thanks for sharing all your adventures.

[@paleo1019]

That is actually Favositid coral which is a tabulate coral. Brain coral didn't show up until after the age of dinosaurs.

[@marypaigeflynn4512]

I was excited to see this video🎉🎉🎉🎉 hello Kyle!!! My name is Mary Paige.. I came to You Tube to learn about the aquarium Hobby when we all were stranded in our homes when the pandemic first started. I ended up finding the best people I've ever met. I battled addiction over 20 years to prescription pain medicines and almost lost my life, I ended up learning to make a few videos and share!! being in nature and our Hobbies are the best therapy!!!! I'm still here and learning to create. You always make me smile and make my day better!! Aquascaping aquariums led me to looking for Hardscape, which led me to rocks, which led me to fossils.... because I'm in Kentucky. I just did a video last week and learning about and finding so many cool fossils and gemstones just from the creek gravel thats excavated to be put down in driveways around here. IM JUST A COOL( well I try to be)GRANDMA😅 thats been enjoying your Channel. Whenever you're on, I make everybody watch with me lol and I saw that you were in Kentucky and couldn't wait to see the video¡ great way to start my day. Maybe if you want a good laugh I did a video the first little bit of it it's just me sharing my day but the second part I show some of the cool fossils I'm finding. What got the video started was people telling me about licking rocks and if your tongue sticks its a fossil LOL I thought they were just trying to get me to lick rocks ( okay and I admit it. I did😂😂) your video really helped me alot. ❤ I have been sending people your way I'm about to post the link to watch your video in my comments and description!! Thank you and your friends putting this together. If y'all are still anywhere near Russell Springs / Somerset area. KY we have some really really really awesome creeks! I hope you and your friends have a blessed and beautiful day❤ Loved the video!!!!

[@marypaigeflynn4512]

I just realized I wasn't subbed!! What the heck LOL I am now🎉 plus there will always be a place in Kentucky for you, Arianna, and your crew!! God bless and safe travels ❤❤❤🎉😂😁🥰 Oh yeah definitely honeysuckle you found and that was a neat fossil you found I found some really different stuff to that I don't know what they are LOL but the people in the comments are always great🎉

[@WILDKYLE]

Thanks so much for this comment Mary! YOU made my day :) Thank you for your kindness and subbing. I love licking rocks so I get it 😂 What's your channel called so I can check out your video?

I am Balown Away, by the amount of crystallized fossils there. And so jealous right now. Happy for You guys, though o c! Thanks for sharing. Greetings from Sweden

[@Rockin_in_Kentucky]

Love fossil hunting in Kentucky. I find fossils almost every where I go. Thank you so much for the video. I wish I could with you some time.

👋🤠 Greetings from Missouri ! Nice Good to know I'm always looking at road cuts, but had never stopped to check one out . Thanks again, Kyle! Thanks, Ariana ! 🍀🍀All the Best! 🍀🍀 & Happy Hunting !! 254 👍 🤘 & ✌

[@derekdemeter6556]

Those "weird" crystals are dolomite. You can tell from the rhombohedral shape instead of the dogtooth crystal structure. They also tend to be less transluscent. Jealous of your finds man! We will need to do this one day!

[@spoonangelmakes42]

Oh wow! Fantastic finds Kyle! And well done on your new song. Loved it xx

9:22 I was amazed when those turned out to be different crystal formations & not leaves like I expected 😂 so awesome!! 💜

[@catatonia2001]

Love all the geodes.

[@cynergy4]

"Like its being plucked from a 400 million year old ocean floor" sure puts things into perspective! And those coral branches are awesome! Way cool song Kyle!

[@monicaagee2716]

I live south of Louisville. We have the creek with Hugh Geodes and steams. And the road cuts from Mt., Washington to Springfield have the same type of fossils your hunting here in this video. It is so hard to The amount of fossils you can find in those road cuts glad you guys had a great time

[@OverlandOne]

Kentucky has everything for everyone if you look hard enough.

[@valiantwarrior4517]

I think your epic song offering was gratefully accepted.

[@loumarlow7295]

Wow , a fossil 'Alladins cave' on the side of a cutting🤩 this was brilliant! Thanks😊

[@chrisbrandt2793]

Those spots looks freaking amazing!! Once my knee replacement stops being so mad me and my daughter need to get out hunting.

[@sephysaurus]

It's so satisfying watching you guys collecting these beautiful things. Those squiddy arms...so cool. Lucky things... When I grow up I wanna be a Cephlapod.

[@catherinewilliams3850]

Wish we had places like that in Wales UK, incredible fossils and the brachipod geodes are gorgeous.

[@curtd7117]

WOW!!!! 💥 I’m not even a third of the way into this clip, and all I can say is wow!!! Back to it!!👍👍

[@LuckyCoinFrog]

Wow!! I would totally try to hand prep some hollow single clams to open along the original seam.

[@derekhurt9983]

Wow beautiful fossils I love the geode ones because here in Texas in a Permian creek bed I've found a few geode fossils just like that that's amazing

[@naomimakin1908]

That doozy at 8.31 with the yellow crystals was incredible 🎉

[@markvining5018]

Live in Nashville and there is a place same stuff, but everything together, detail can't get better/must have been a red tide and killed the entire area. Once i sprayed vegetable oil on them and plated them with fish fillets, fried potatoes, Cole slaw the braciopods looked like part of dinner ready to eat 😅😅😅

[@AngieJames4172]

FANTASTIC finds!!!

[@randalljones4370]

That last Ceph ... a stunner.

[@velaminavalentine9322]

Awesome finds and yes it’s honeysuckle. I live in KY and now I bet everyone will be stopping at all the big rock cuts next to the roads to check for cool fossils 😁 I know I will

[@danamosley]

Honeysuckle! And OMG!! At the fossils! So jealous!💜💜💜

[@VSFilly]

Dana: that 'Honeysuckle' is Amur Honeysuckle and quickly destroying our resources. It was purchased from China. It is quickly destroying timber and North American birds. Our states need to be held accountable but basically ignoring the issue. Autum Olive and multiflora rose are other invasives which are destroying natural habitats. Here in Ohio they are quickly killing our trees and birds. Birds feast on the Honeysuckle Amur berries premigration: then the perish enroute to their destination. The berries are rich in carbs and only sustain birds a short flight. Kinda like Koolaid versus orange juice. Don't believe the stories that woodstoves and farming are killing these birds: it is from invasives such as these! In Ohio, they have taken over state parks. Sad!

[@johnh539]

I have never heard of Brachiopod geodes and the fact that they are in some kind of mud rock is even more unexpected . Big thumb's up.

[@JerryR1776]

At 11:45...Yes that's a Honeysuckle. If you pull out the center string-like thing, there will be sweet nectar on it. Sweet!

[@JGBruggy]

Ah dang my wife and I were up on a few roadcuts about a mile or two from there a few weeks ago! Nice finds!

[@WILDKYLE]

I am amazed at how much material there is to look at!

[@audraacklin9826]

That double coral you found was awesome! ❤️😃

[@sylviastreet]

I have some gastropods and coral from Lake Huron. Michigan side and Canada side. Other fossils and minerals and stones. I only have a small space for them all but I’m happy with what I have. When someone goes out of state, I ask them to find some interesting stones or fossils. Great hobby!

[@sharendonnelly7770]

I live in Texas, in the Permian Basin, and have found all kinds of corals, mollusks, one of which is an extinct oyster, Gryphaea or Devil's toenail, my favorite. Once found a mosasaur vertebra and femur (left in place as they were huge!), and know that feeling when you find something so unique and exciting. I found one slab of limestone that was about 5 feet by 8 feet absolutely covered in mollusk shells and ammonites. Great video, enjoyed it very much, and subscribed.

[@aurorawallis3355]

Awesome I enjoyed every minute of it Thank you both

20 years ago I use to find all kinds of cool stuff in creek in Brown county Ohio and I found so many cool fossils! I live like 40 mins from Maysville!

[@mattheweastham1852]

Your friend is correct , the plant is indeed honeysuckle . Unfortunately it is a non native invasive species that is very hard to eradicate. It does attract humming birds though .

[@antics05]

those are so cool, i cant wait till i can go out and look for stuff like that

[@davidthomas6859]

Hi Kyle ,at 27mins you said they might be corals,could be more likely to be Bryozoans great video and awesome finds .Greetings from U.K.

Try nanjemoy wildlife management area along potomac, and mataoka cottage area along chesapeake bay. Good luck fossil hunting

[@thegreatdominion949]

Most of the brachiopods you picked up were of the genus Vinlandostrophia, possibly V. ponderosa. I think you might have also picked up a few Hebertella. There might be some Hiscobeccus in there too. The large flat brachs are most likely Rafinesquina.

[@Whateverhasbeenmynameforyears]

Aneurism avoided. Lol Thanks. Also for fun check out what the center of a straight cephalopod shell is called. :) Still makes me giggle.

Further verification of the Great Flood 10,000 years ago. I was impressed with the sand dunes in Nebraska I saw last April when my buddy and I traveled through there on our way to Idaho. Everything clearly explained in the book of Genesis. Funny video. Carry on......

[@thehowlingjoker]

If a flood did it, then why are the fossils buried in an order and under different types of sediment and strata?

[@tonydowd8566]

@@thehowlingjoker just check your history books. It's not only the Bible saying it, but dozens of cultures around the world agree and tell of a great flood that covered the earth not that long ago. I'm no scientist, but it ain't that hard to figure out. And you're going to have to do your own research. I'm not doing it for you. Just read it. #youngearth

[@thehowlingjoker]

@@tonydowd8566 I did do my own research and the evidence is incredibly compelling. I would recommend you look into the evidence in fields like geology, palenotology and genetics rather than that which is anecdotal. It is true many cultures have flood myths, but outside of the region in which the Abrahamic faiths originated they tend to vary wildly. Some are floods of blood, some of milk, some have people surviving in shells. They all contain different Gods or even none at all.

What a great video! Thank you!

[@RockandRoadRockhounding]

The Maysville cut is one of our favorites! We have a lot of luck with cephalopods there just like you seemed to be having. I was really hoping you'd find a trilobite roller, we've yet to find one there either.

[@fishinwidow35]

I have one coral and one geode found in Kentucky. I wish we had been able to do some hunting for them when I lived there.

[@patriciabock4299]

Awesome and I live in south central Kentucky and have never investigated the road cuts lol! I guess now I will!

[@maryoneill5070]

Beautiful!✌🏻❤️🙂🙏

[@Paleos1000]

The big brachs are Platystrophia (Vinlandostrophia?) ponderosa, I think. Happy to be corrected because I don't know the locale. The flat shield shaped brachs might be Strophomenids called Rafesquina. You have others there by the look of it so maybe Herbetella as well. Great finds. So well preserved. Beautiful calcite infills. Apologies if you already knew all this stuff.

[@steveclark4291]

I think that those flowers are Elderflowers ! But I'm not sure since I don't get a good look them or the leaves ! If they are you can make jelly out of them !

[@AppalachianRocks]

I live in Kentucky, I get to do this almost every day. Also, those brachiopods you're pulling up every 5 seconds (Vinlandostrophia sp.) Are probably the most common fossils in Kentucky. 12:00 That brachiopod you just picked up is a Hebertella sp., and a gorgeous one at that. 19:30 a little rule of thumb for finding fossil corals in Kentucky, if you can hold it with one hand, it's not big. I've found some that are 3 feet long. 21:02 that looks like a stromatolite to me. Good find! I myself haven't had any luck finding those! 23:40 thise cephalopods are an orthoconic nautiloid, possibly Treptoceras duseri, related to the more famous cameroceras.

[@pameversole5886]

I have a 10 yr old grandson that is a natural rock hound- fossil finder. Any advice on places to take him around London, Ky? Any help is appreciated. He’d rather do this than play video games so I really wanna nurture this interest for him. Thanks for any info.

Blimey and then the double coral head... Toot toot!!

[@dustinfindsrocks]

Ok you got me with the trilobite. How far is this from Missouri? The dogtooth calcite in those brachiopods is freaking awesome and I'm not sure what the other crystals are... Dolomite maybe? Anyway... um yeah this is an amazing spot!
