This was a dream come true for those of us who live far away. A field trip of insight while watching from the comfort of our home. Thank you!

[@YorkshireFossils]

Our pleasure! Already working on the next one!

[@franciszimmer4847]

Your best video yet! Well done. Loved seeing your total collecting experience from getting to the site, what you decide to keep, and how you prep the specimens. Wonderfully narrated as well!

[@YorkshireFossils]

Thanks so much, we really appreciate all of the support and very kind of you to donate 🙏🏻 Much more cool video content to come!

Thanks Lads for the education. Thoroughly enjoyed the whole video

I just found your channel! Love it. Wish I could be a fossil hunter/rock hound myself. Love watching!😊

[@jesuapinto2809]

Love these videos 😊💞 they are really relaxing to watch as well

[@YorkshireFossils]

Glad you like them! Thanks for watching 🙏🏻

[@simonmurray5126]

a nicely done video- liked the interplay of beach and workshop - and the recoding of all the finds - there is something to be said for the intermittent joy of finding something good. Loved the shells! Nice surprise in that one

[@lumineria1]

This is a video I’ve been waiting to see! Thanks for sharing how you can spot certain rocks that have potential and the thought process where they’re found. Great video as usual!!

[@JolynBowler]

A terrific "episode". Enjoyed the drone shots immensely. Well done, well edited and well narrated.. Thanks to the YF family and fans. 💙🌻💙

Thank you for your kind comment, we really appreciate it! 🐬🐳 We certainly put a lot of time and effort into making original content for people to enjoy 😊 thanks again 🙏🏻

Hello from Oklahoma! Love y’all’s videos ❤ So interesting. Thank y’all for sharing with us all who will never be able to experience something like this.

[@gabrielegoldschmidt5813]

Fossil preparation is also very interesting but I love the search of fossils and the film recordings of nature 😊

Great video! Loved the hunting with the prep mixed in

Awesome video guys ! Well presented and shots are beautiful

[@rikspector]

Shea, You and your brother make a great team. It's being able to search often, especially after major landfalls, rather than any specific item, that adds the suspense to your finds. Wood, crinoids, little things etc, are also interesting. Anything that paints a picture of 180 million years ago!!! The time span is boggling. Are any of the finds the actual material from those eras? Cheers, Rik Spector

I love seeing history found in fossils. You all must really love your calling. I say this as a semi-disabled, overweight, lazy, older American (the comment is specific to me, not all Americans, to be clear). I suffer from both rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. The distance you hiked, and the need to semi-rappel down to the beach leads me to say this. Besides “wow!”, all I could think was how would you carry many fossils, especially larger fossils back to the car? I have never made it to any part of Europe (just Canada, Mexico, China, and Hong Kong [before my mobility declined to my present status]). I have to say the area where you search is beautiful, walk down, beach, sea, and especially the waterfall. Maybe if I can get my health issues under control, I might get a chance to visit your part of the world. It was fascinating to watch the cleaning and preparation of the fossils at the workshop. Such detailed work. Such beautiful results. Do you ever worry that you might chip away the wrong bit? I know you all have training and experience to locate and recognize nodules with potential. But, not having that training and experience, it amazes me how you find them. I watched one of your videos before this and found it fascinating to watch you all find and remove nodules from larger rocks and shale. Thank you for recording, posting, and bringing your captivating work to those of us who might never, otherwise, get to enjoy the thrill of finding wonderful history.

Beautiful! Love this! 🎉❤

8:18 I thought those birds were about to box the drone out of the sky there ngl 😂

[@YorkshireFossils]

Haha I thought so too! They came over unexpectedly!

[@wandacasper5612]

Enjoyed. Thanks for sharing. Enjoyed all

[@emmadutton5094]

Great video! Me and my 5 year old watch your fossil hunting videos before bed every night, he loves them. We would love more insight about what to look for in a nodule for when we venture out to search for fossils ourselves.

[@artrandy]

I enjoy watching both of these fossil hunters looking for specimens of beauty, but Shea seems to have the knack of opening them. He's like Thor and his hammer.........

[@w33lal]

Ove seeing the fossil preparing work it looks so cool i would love to do that x

[@colin7096]

You are so lucky having such great places nearby to hunt for fossils. Northern Ireland, where I am, has pretty much nothing when it comes to finding fossils, and even a couple of places to look (listed online) were a wasted trip. I've discovered just a few partial bits of belemnite in chalk here, so small that you wouldn't even pick them up, so I find the stuff you get beyond belief 😔

[@simonmurray5126]

islandmagee might be worth a look - early jurassic rock there at least- and some interesting , rare ( for Ireland) dino bones found

[@colin7096]

@simonmurray5126 Great, thanks for that. Will check it out 👍

[@TinaCarr-vy7kn]

I think I might have a couple of vertebrate. Not that I have a clue but their was just something about them that made me keep them. Found them on the little beach below the caravan site just along from the abbey.

[@sandscratcherbri5574]

last time i was there was 20 years ago path was still there then got some jet towards runswick

[@Waldwuffel67]

@@coro599 I would love to go with you sometime... Thank you for your videos. Have you ever cut open an Amonite lengthwise? I would be interested to see what they look like inside.

We have indeed - perhaps we’ll have to show them in a future video! Thanks for watching 🙏🏻

I would suck at finding fossils lol. Being colorblind makes it double hard 😂

[@victoriawest]

Time stamp 11.11 is there any way of showing us/me the layers and the timeline for those layer. Thank you for doing the videos. I find them calming.

[@Darkforce-j3j]

Lovely preparation on the fossils! 👍Just wondering, where did you purchase the air tools and for how much?🤔

[@YorkshireFossils]

Thank you 🙏🏻 Our tools are mostly from Zoic Palaeotech, please check their website for up to date prices etc as there’s a wide selection of tools depending on use case ⚒️

[@richardcarey169]

Is the area Speeton, or Robin hoods bay? I used to fossil hunt in the early 60s?

[@Paleo_online]

I would love to have time to fossil hunt alone and I’m trying to get some land I can legally fossil hunt on without a permit in the Texas red beds

[@YorkshireFossils]

It’s so much fun, and also I bet you’ll have a great time fossil hunting there! Good luck 🤞🏻

[@AndrewAHayes]

Im thinking of nipping over from South Yorkshire to the North Yorkshire coast for a day out, I thought a bit of fossil hunting might be an interesting couple of hours. What is a good area for a complete newbie to search for fossils, with good parking and not far a walk to the beach?

[@simonmurray5126]

whitby- runswick bay hits those things - you don't have to go that far though - there are sites in lincs and elsewhere with the same strata closer ( albeit without the regular erosion ofthe seacliffs )

[@LiSa.N.J]

When you find fossils stacked think on top of each other, or many in one location, is that due to one of the extinction events? Or die off events? I have always wondered how so many have died and became fossils in same layer so close or jumbled on top of each other.
