We Found HUNDREDS of Fish Fossils! Digging for Phenomenal Fossil Specimens in Kemmerer, Wyoming!

In this one, we head back to American Fossil Quarry in Kemmerer, Wyoming before the end of their season to dig for more fish fossils! We had an incredible day splitting shale and ended up finding HUNDREDS of fossil fish including Knightia Eocene And Knightia Alta, many Diplomystus, countless coprolites from various species, and two beautiful large Myoplosus! It was a day filled with phenomenal specimens! Make sure to look out for a prepping video coming soon! They look good when you find them, but they become INCREDIBLE specimens after they are prepped! I hope you all enjoy this one, and I will have another one out very soon!
The season has ended now, but if you are planning on making the trip out Kemmerer to find your own fish fossils, I would HIGHLY recommend American Fossil Quarry! The staff is amazingly helpful and kind, the specimens are varied, abundant, and amazingly preserved, and they let you keep virtually everything you find!

I have to tell you that I absolutely love your channel. Y'all find the coolest fossils/ rocks/gems. The two of you crack me up. Y'all play really well off each other.

[@largent45]

I'm so glad you made it back! And yes you and Alexis make a good team! That's why you guys are getting married! You know each other so well! Lol! You guys got so many fish! And that coprolite was huge! What the heck made that? Let's just hope it's still in the rock you were going to prep at home! Awesome time at American fossil and even more fun once you get it home and set them out and can take your time prepping them! So cool! Thanks Theo and Alexis!

[@Panicagq2]

"If it's not pointless, what's the point?" This. I come for the fossils but stay for the philosophy. Phossilophy? I dunno... Love you guys, thanks for bringing us along!

[@Mike-br8vb]

Very interesting!

[@rotisumbuErikGemstone]

Mempesona🎉 Terima kasih sudah berbagi video kepada kami❤

[@mariemoss2475]

What an amazing place, I dont blame you going back... A year is fsr too long to wait .... Cant wait to see the prep work 👍

[@gwynnfarrell1856]

That's a lotta fish! You two had a nice system going and it looked like so much fun! Congratulations on the new car! Very spiffy!

[@user-kk5vv2ks5r]

WOW! You and Alexis had a great day! I'm very impressed with your knowledge of fossil fish! The ones in the video are great looking. Can't wait to see them when they are prepared! I think I like the biggest one because it has the most detail.

[@cynergy4]

I like the one with the curled tail, and I also like Alexis's hat!

[@tott3457]

It appears that Alexa, and you found more than when you went with Kim and Kyle. Great finds!!!

[@jessicadavenport2808]

I need to go there!!!!❤❤❤❤ Nice haul!

[@kellyharper367]

Old disabled house bound dusty rusty rockhound here: Theo and Alexis, Howdy from Michigan. That was a phenomenal day at the quarry! So many fossils! Thanks for taking us along!

[@savagesquirrel9828]

I look forward to the prep vid.. way cool fish! I’m surprised how platy the sandstone is. Thanks.

[@WorldofRockhounds]

All them were my favorite

[@chaireincoughtry2728]

Awesomeness!!! As I'm watching you to work your way through your pile and then move on to the scrap pile how many pounds of fossils did you come home with?😊

[@judymarkel8029]

Oh this looks so fun Fish for dinner🤣😂🤣😂

[@user-yv9cy5ce7q]

I love Kemmerrer 's fossil butte

[@patifagan6774]

Excellent

[@CedarStoneCreations]

Need to hit up this spot and the blue forest on a trip sometime since they are so close together! Not big on fossils but it just looks so fun to break those books open!

[@Amanda-yf7vj]

My favorite is totally the big coprolite!!! That's Dino poop!! Haha

[@kirsiselei8703]

Such a fantastick finds💕. Waiting for the prep vid👍😁🇫🇮

[@775Rockhounding]

Very cool! Thanks for sharing 🐟 ⛏️ some great specimens collected! You’ll be prepping fish for the entire winter!

[@WorldofRockhounds]

When Theo says crumbly...it means they are like slighlty soggy graham crackers and you so much move them the wrong way - they break. I wanna go back!

[@williamscoggin1509]

I like how I've seen you prep these. I can't wait for that video! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸

[@jennifershipp2599]

It was a good day! I so enjoy when you and Alexis are out and about. Thank you ❤😊❤

[@donnabeaudin9114]

Wow!! What a haul! You two are the dynamic fossil duo! Beautiful finds, will you mount some of them on wood, or frame them? Or do they stay as you found them?

[@roxannsejkora1691]

I can’t wait to see them all prepped! Nice work guys!

[@tinadelaluz3197]

You guys are awesome 👍🏽 Way to go Alexis ❤

[@soul_adventurist]

Amazing fossils! Thanks for sharing ❤

[@RockyMountainBear]

[@johnheigis83]

Yo, Go about half way up - heading south, off the Stillwater Highway - Midnight Canyon. Go west, off the road, up up onto the bench, west alonf the valley. You'll find fossils, and petrified wood, evetywhere. Take MSU students and Instructors with you. And, While doing scuba, for Search and Rescue - long ago - I found myself, in a submerged - ancient (Ancient!!!) forest, of standing trees... (All leaning the same. [An "Axe-man" Crew Chief observation.]... ... Once buried deep in seasonable flood sediments... ... (Layers, 30 - 40ft deep, to roots..!..?). ... It got exposed - again - as the river changed course - channels, and cut deep deep. ... I was right at 30ft bottom - altitude measure. ... Like what I was seeing while working.. .... With long - fat - straight trees all around... Thick.... But, with tops broken off, at the water-air line. ... In cold water... But... Warming!!!!!!!!!!! It needs to be researched... ... Good divers, scientists, tech... ... Mid - late August... Low water... Safer... Anyway, I trust my gut... And, all this I write of, has $$$ potential. ... Even, if only, for funding your "hobbies." ... However, I see far more than only "hobby", here. Thanks. Oh, and theres other stuff you will like seeing, and place to hear about... That, too, need research... Bigtime! If only, for fun. Oh, too... Important rope tricks, that I need some pro- help, to get on tape, for folks to learn and use... Even - especially - kids. ... I feel you would be very good at seeing it through... At least, on some of it. ... If only, to get me connected with good folks, wholl give it proper professional action. ... If only, for huge smiles, as you realize what it is, you're a part of... Discovery... This from before, or just after Ice Age. Oh, and, there are other people, who will help. I'm getting too old, broke, broken, and worn out. I'd like knowing, it happened... Finally. And, youll be working moreso - with my little-Sis.... Smart "kid." Lol. ... She grew up with our Dad...(Mines). I may be able to get CDC, from LA Harbor, to have some fun, too. As I remember, I signed their Register, when I did the Commercial Diver Orientation... ... (Early March '76.) It was usable wood... ... And, i know where there's far more. Yes! I am letting you sense the urgency. It needs a good team. And, I figure, Word given... Word kept. And, I've had 40+ yrs to ponder it. It needs professionals... ... champions. Even if "No." ... Thanks. Very cool. Semper Fidelis... Oh, have you ever been to Glacier Park...?

[@janetmeyer7406]

Did you do the private day dig, or the regular? We have a 6 person group so looking at the private day dig option for next year. It looks like better pickings than the regular dig we did this year. Have you done both options, and how do they compare?

[@ROCKINWHEELERS]

Question- where would be good place for us being Disabled Seniors to Rockhound for those Beautiful Creations? We will be Driving toward Tennesse. Would you recommend a good Rock Shop to Visit.

[@steveegbert7429]

Nice finds and a great day of fishing! Once you have them dry and prepped, do you use any kind of sealer or preservative on them?

[@Bigfoot903Outdoors]

Did they supply the saw and generator. And what did the lane cost

[@monsterkiller5516]

How do you go about getting to dig here? Is it open to the public or do you need a permit? Thanks, Will

[@KAZSANable]

💙🐟

[@MontanaRockSlayer]

When’s the fish fry?

[@cynthiainezgonz6906]

Is there anything they tell you that you cannot keep if you find it? Can you remind us where that is?

[@jensorenson9145]

Proof of God sending a flood :) God is amazing!

[@leslyeschoenhuth1107]

There are so many Fish.. You are going to be so busy Prepping Fish for a while.. Alexis is a great help & you work well as a team.. She has developed an interest in some of your finds.. That is so different. I would love to go & hunt fish.. COOL..
