Did We Find More of the Ancient Horse Skeleton?! Florida Fossil Seashell and Shark Tooth Hunting!

[@lauriepenner350]

Poor Kyle, his mama wouldn't buy him a pony, so he had to assemble his own. Keep us posted if you figure out the species!

[@leighanncronin6905]

OMGOSH, I can't believe you found a Limpet! Those are my favorite shells...been collecting them my entire life! It's hard enough to find them on the beach, and you found one in a fossil pile! If you and Cris, Jeremy & George ever make it out to our property, I'll show you my collection!

[@lindsaynicole3075]

I am totally obsessed with watching you guys explore this spot! I can’t believe how much of horse boi you’re piecing together!! 🐎

[@debihalsey2247]

Love the videos! Please keep them coming. Always fun and I learn just by watching. Thank you for taking us along.

[@dfen2614]

gotta say, these have been the most interesting and entertaining videos I've watched on KZbin in a long time (so many hours of videos). Love these vids and the channel as always, hope you're well and happy hunting from VA!

[@TheBohemiansWife]

I love these vids! I feel like I’m right there with you. Thanks for the fun shows!

[@suzannekain1214]

That was great. You all found some awesome fossils. Hope you find more of the horse in the future.

[@cynthiaswearingen1037]

You guys found some amazing shells! Cowries, Olives, Murex, Whelks...and shark's teeth! Keep on recovering that horse!💖

[@WILDKYLE]

Thanks for watching Cynthia! We are really hoping for more of the horse!

[@fossilwildlife5198]

This spot is stunning 😃 So many shells and snails! 👍🏻 And also the shark teeth and the horse bones for sure ⛏️ Great video Kyle 😉 Many greetings from Germany 🇩🇪✌🏼

[@WILDKYLE]

Thank you my friend! I love that this site keeps you busy with constantly finding really cool shells! Then it's just even more exciting when a shark tooth or bone shows up!

[@gingermackeen5741]

I'm amazed how well preserved those lace murexes were! Maybe I need to shell in a creek instead of the beach!😂

Wow!! I really hope you find a lot more of the horse, this is so exciting. I've never found a fossil shell, and I can't wait to find one. Perfect end to a long day, an awesome video from the Wildest of Kyles. Thank you!

Heck yeah! Just got back from hounding and see a kyle upload! Is a gewd day sir. Dude this spot looks like freaking heaven!😂 i can not get over it! Those shells are unvelievable. That's the stuff of dreams right there! Still have never managed to find a cowrie, someday hopefully👍 those big whelks and those murex are fantastic! My gosh i would lose my mind at this spot🤣yet another fantastic video man!

Amazing hunt, was planning a night hunt myself today with a UV. The cowaries are definitely Siphocypraea carolinensis (which are extinct), I found some on my last hunt, they are just too cool. Sometimes the Bivalves hold, sometimes they don’t, I managed to find one by my mailbox that actually did. Also Very happy the horse is going to have a good home!

[@WILDKYLE]

Thanks so much Fred! I hope your UV hunt goes amazing! Thank you for the info on the cowries. They are such cool shells!

Awesome collection, simply beautiful. It would be totally awesome if you guys found all the bones to that horse. Cheers

[@ethaneverglades7512]

A great place to learn about the different shells you found is to go to bailey Matthews shell museum on Sanibel island. They have many of the shells you have found but they're fresh they also have an aquarium that would make an awesome spot for a video.

[@gracewashburn8276]

I was wondering where you were I just hadn’t gotten any notices lately but I’m glad you’re out and about and keeping busy it’s still pretty cold up here in the north I just want things to warm up a bit so I can start doing the gardening and the yardwork and then I can go foraging around for treasures

[@WILDKYLE]

Make sure your notifications are turned on for my channel! It'll be a bell 🔔 icon under the video that you click on. I'm excited for you to be able to get out hopefully soon and look for some treasures!

I have been watching this channel called SWF Beach Life. she is also in Florida. She is a sheller. its cool to watch her go on the beach and find all of these gorgeous colored shells and than watch you find the same shells but fossilized.

Oh horse 'conch'. I heard that differently the first couple of times. I wondered how that part of the horse got fossilised...

How old are these shells, they are in pretty good shape. Would love to go on a hunt over that way when the world opens up again. Well done Kyle

[@janetpullen5210]

The shell that's kinda oblong and still together is a cardita and the neat one with a square hole on top is a keyhole limpet....one of my favorites...u don't find a ton of those...the lace murex are so fascinating...some really neat finds especially the horse bones...just a great d ay buddy....🤩

Go back to the spot that you found the horse bone on another day you and Derick and Paleo Christmas time and see if you can find some more of it

[@miltonknowlestheinsanewitc4996]

You are so going to have to start assembling that horse you keep finding more and more of it

[@WILDKYLE]

Unfortunately we don't have much of it that actually goes together 😭 there's a good chance only about 5-10% of the entire horse was even fossilized. But we'll see as we keep hunting!

Awesome shells!

[@debivort]

Is the color on the olive shells picked up as a stain during preservation/time in the deposit, or is residual from the original color?

[@WILDKYLE]

I do believe it is mostly from stain during preservation and probably has a lot to do with the minerals in the sediments they are fossilized in!

[@debivort]

Hey Kyle! ive recently dug up a real head scratcher bottle. I was wondering if you could take a look at it and maybe know something about it? its a heavily embossed straight sided soda but im seeing a manufacturer label that ive never seen coca cola use.

[@Ninjaroo82]

How old do you think the shells and bones are?

[@halsat]

I have seen several of the shells have perfect little holes in them, those are predation holes, some snails have a radula and feed on the bivalves, they bore a hole in one of the valves and open them and eat them.

[@WILDKYLE]

That's awesome I was thinking they must have been predation holes! Thank you for the info!

[@pentaxpro]

The genus Natica probably did that. Octopus make small holes in shells also but the holes are smaller and look like they were sergically done with a laser in a single shot.

[@miraclearg2212cpb]

@@WILDKYLE well that's a relief..... time to rent a bulldozer then, get way down into that creek. :p

[@jamiehall1460]

I'm not to sure about preservation in the Cenozoic but those horse bones look very well preserved, I would bet that most of the horse did preserve but because it was tumbled in the creak and you are finding it in such a scattered area I don't think you'll find all of it just because it is so scattered some of the smaller bones could be very far away by now and the larger bones if not broken up are likely up the creak as they wouldn't be as likely to move.

[@Whateverhasbeenmynameforyears]

I hope you are keeping all the horse together. Also I think it was a juvenile horse as the cannon did not seem to have the attached to the side bones, that I cant think of the name right now.

[@michaelboyle9889]

[@JenniferMarohn]

Is it possible to tell if the breaks in the horse bones are pre or post modem?

[@WILDKYLE]

I think unfortunately some of the breaks may be due to digging for them. Some of the breaks seem to be natural though also. I'm sure there has been some pressure on the bones while they've been in the ground!

[@JenniferMarohn]

@@WILDKYLE ok thank you. I just kind of pictured in my mind that maybe the horse broke a leg and that’s why it died or something. You know just making up death scenes for this poor horse in my head 🤦🏻‍♀️
