I think that showing pictures of the actual creatures, pointing to the parts being restored and telling some of those animals histories, adds a really nice dimension to your vlogs!! Rik

Thanks Rik, we’ll have to try and do more of that!

Please continue adding prep videos if you can. That was great! You don’t see those kind of videos with such excellent producing like you did so would love to see you do more! Thank you! ❤

[@YorkshireFossils]

We certainly will aim to keep producing more videos like that, plenty more in store!

Thank you 🙏🏻

I love your prep videos too. A tip I learned when working on odontolite (blue dinosaur bone) for jewelry long ago is that the super glue I used would fail after a year or two. I started using 2 part clear epoxy, it was clear and much stronger. Any way thanks for the great videos!

[@Tseringlhatso]

The plates of multiple ammonites and their negatives are beautiful. I love your videos, for me the balance of hunting, prep and scenery shots is perfect. Thanks for all the heard work you put in to your channel.

Amazing video - and so cool to see the end result of all that careful work! It's so good that you guys found this paddle and were able to carry out this work - it might have ended up not being honoured and restored with quite the same care. Good on you all!

Kudos to you both for your dedication in finding and the preservation of these ancient treasures. Really enjoy your videos. Looking forward to many more of your discoveries.

The fossils are really beautiful and i would say the Ichthyosaur paddle looks really well preped and stunning and i hope the ammonites you decide to prep turn out really nice.

Hello, I recently discovered your channel and love what you do! The fossil hunts are great as well as the openings, spot the fossil, and the preparation clips. When you inserted the dinosaur graphics into some of the videos was great too! We really enjoy the scenery clips and your presentation. Your videos are interesting and also very calming to watch. Thanks so much for what you do and greetings from the USA.

I'm noticing that you move the fossils quite a bit when showing them. In person, it wouldn't be hard to study them quickly, but through video on our side, it's difficult to focus quickly enough before you move again to clearly see the details of the smaller specimens. I enjoyed this! I love fossil stuff but you always find videos of people fossil hunting, but not really many doing prep work or the other aspects of fossil collection. This was nice. I had wanted to go into paleontology, anthropology, or general biology, but ended up going down a different path. I still love watching videos on all these things. Thanks for posting! I'll sub.

Love the video. How lucky to live near an area so full with fossils. I'm a rock and fossils hound. Only thing I find in my area are mostly limestone fossils of shells when the area of the time was covered in water. Still awesome to find horn coral and shells, but nothing to compare with your finds!

Man I’m so jealous of you guys. I live in a coastal area and have never seen/dig up a rock in my yard. I’ve made some trips to Utah/colorado and all I could think of was looking for fossils with all the rocks everywhere.

Our location is the West Coast of NZ. Fossil of various shapes and sizes have been found all around our harbor over the years as well as both the North and South of our areas. The largest pinguin standing just over 4' tall was found in our harbor. Shells like yours and many many Belemnites are also found here. No Ammonites have been found as yet as far as I know, though I did find an enormous imprint of one many years ago on our East Coast. Your type of mudstone looks the same as we have here except ours's is crumblier being an open West Coast.

[@sharkamov]

I'd say that the beautifully recovered side part of _the fish must surely be a find of a lifetime!!! - _So_ pristine after all those millions of years all things considered! . . . (For me,_ it's got a kind of 'Christmassy-eve'-feel to it every time ''the hammer falls'', and we wait to see what'll be exposed inside!!! 😃) Your videos has improved considerably over time, and there's a definite element of 'professionalism' shining through along the way, what with the waterfalls and panoramic sweeps! . . . (PS: When watching this episode, I just had a 'revelationary' idea; ''What if we got all the [crazy] world leaders gathered together, dressed them up for the occasion, and gave them each a hammer and a chisel and urged them all to go with you fossil hunting in these Yorkshire beaches (naturally, with coffee & snack-breaks at 'appropriate' intervals)! . . . What wouldn't something like *_that_* do for world peace!!! . . . . 😉👍) _Anywhohow,_ thanks a bunch for sharing you guys, and respect going out to you both from nippy and rainy 🇳🇴🙏( ͡~ ͜ʖ ͡°)

Genuinely curious if this series ever show finding fossils other than ammonites or belamnites? I’ve watched a few with fossil hunts where that’s all you find and would love to see you actually finding some of the rarer fossils? Enjoyed the prep part of this one.

[@RandomMoves923]

Thanks for showing us, seems that those fossils were buried somewhat suddenly, as if the fish was lying on the sea floor then it would have been eaten or rotting, but they appear to be suddenly "entombed" in the mlimestone

there is something so satisfying with the word nodule i don't know is its just the Geologist in me or what lol. One of the best memories i have was when my stepdad took me to Lyme Regious one Saturday morning we didn't get back til Monday evening ended up buying a tent an everything late Saturday afternoon and in his wise words 'well we've got a tent an all the kit we may as well get the use out of it now' He was known for just doing things on a whim so we just rolled with it found some cool stuff but ive lost them all in the 25yrs since unfortunately

[@МихаилНойманн-й9д]

You're lucky to live in such a good place. In our Middle Volga region, the ancient sea was located about 160-80 million years ago, but there is not even close to such a density of finds. I went through the abandoned limestone quarry, but found only about 20 clam shells from the Late Cretaceous period. Moreover, there were no ammonites or belemnites among them. Perhaps they are enclosed in the thickness of the rock.

thanks for sharing your finds. one improvement on the video I would love, is when you show fossils that you haven't found I the video but before, maybe mention how they were found and how much work was needed to get them to what you show us. like the huge belemnite, was that isolated or did you need to take it out of a rock?

2 sets of nice ammonite bookends from those those round cobbles ( bookends for those who still read books~).That fossil of fish scales is a superb specimen. My eyes may be playing tricks on me but amongst the cobbles I am possibly seeing some nicely hand worked lithics/ Stone Age tools, a hand axe & a couple oval shaped choppers, I've seen archeological publications showing some great flint achuelean hand axes found midway up the east coast shoreline, a place called red beach or red bluff? I enjoy fossils and early human handiworks. cheers from the Pacific west coast.
