Welcome to Texas! I used to live in Denton TX and have hunted many ammos at Texoma you just have to bring a hammer and chisel if you want big unwatherd mortinocearas, oxytropidocearas and cymatroceares take them home and airscribe detail. 👍on the duck creek formation. Grayson formation in Denton i found mariella turritillus 12 inches x 4 inches. I have about 7 fully preped you should see them. I live in Kanab uthah now and am so disappointed with fossil hunting here or in AZ. I don't know why everything is so small here. Did you find any nice echinoides? Or poderosa oysters big as your hand? Wish you could see my collection of fully preped north Texas fossils. Love your video. I just wish there was a way to contact you.

You look like your having fun. I love hunting ammonites, but i am from north Texas and am used to finding and preping ammonites 4 to 16 inch oysters as big as your hand. Is there anything bigger in utah? Any heteromorphs? Biggest ammonite i ever found was the size of one of those lame spair tiers.

Very cool

17:24 where is this in Texas?

At 19:35 I have a bigger one like that around 6" across I picked it up at a job site in Austin Texas but mine is kinda broken up I tried to pick up all of the pieces.

Excellent video. Liked and subscribed!

Quotes Hedberg and is a rockhounder? I’m in Texas, new to rock hounding. My husband found a light green rock with perfect tiny pyrite cubes in it…I have no idea what it is but I’m obsessed and looking for friends in the area to look with!

Commenting a little late, but I think you might have answered a mystery I've had for years now. I grew up in Sylvania Ohio where some of the best Devonian fossils could be found anywhere! They readily separated from the shale and the preservation was remarkable. I found one brachiopod the size of a medium sized bead with excellent detail. The fossil was different than any others I'd seen and was pyritized. I think you just explained it to me. THANKS !!

I am very interested to find fossil, but in India no such spot to visit .

I used to live out in Crane Texas. A fossil heaven.

Where’d you go man? 1 year….?

What's so special about those seashells? I'm just curious.

Again everything’s big in Texas!

The unconformaties you show are very striking.

May I ask where you are getting your dolomite media, and what micron?

This planet is a bit treasure chest. It really is, not to mention all the historical human artifacts throughout the world.

Those “oysters” you found in Austin aren’t oysters, they’re called gryphea or “devil’s toenails”. In north Texas we get even bigger ones.

Boring

I’m going to take my grandsons to lake Texoma in the spring to introduce them to your fossils they are 7 and. 5 an love all things dinosaurs fossil and rock then perhaps a trip to Glenrose to see the dinosaurs trail in the river

Thank you for the whirlwind tour of our state been a king time since earth science have to look up those names agian did you go to lake worth an the Ben brook area are ther fossil rich areas there I was told once that Texas has no natural lakes that all are man made

Enjoyed your post! Particularly when you went to Del Rio. I have published several papers on the section of US90 towards the Val Verde county line over many years, particularly the Eagle Ford section. If you are interested in field guide and GCAGS papers, contact me at University of Louisiana geology. Brian Lock

God bless Texas

Don’t miss white rock in Dallas area

The Dakota is a shore face marine sandstone...

Man. Hide the bsckground if you want focus; specially if it is full of sharp lines of cracks.

WOW

I'm sure you're aware of the increased interest in gold along with the price increase... $2000 per oz! Any way we could get you to comment on the incidences of pyrite you talk of here, vs. the iron & iron pyrites associated with gold deposits? Thank you sir, I do realize your time is fleeting as all humanoid's time is! You just mentioned rectum joke, bahahahah

14:32 on the left, is that a fossil? 😮

thanks for posting!

Hello.. Thats amazing man! Is there a certain type of tool to use in removing the rock/sand to avoid damage?

There was a lull, **DO NOT SAY INLAND SEA** still connected to the Pacific these ammonites and other fossils bred to insane numbers sheltered from the main expanse of the ocean. Some say the Missoula/Bonneville etc. floods were responsible for pushing this water somewhere else. Is there a specific map of beds that have all been associated? I could use this data if you want to shove my face into some pages!

Im heading to utah and wyoming to do some fossil hunting.can you piont me in the right direction for some ammonites??

Awesome finds dude!

Very cool information. Thanks for posting this.

Where in Utah did you look for your fossils

Those were great finds. Did you find bigger ones? Yours are very small and easier to show to people that like these kinds beach of goodies, or landscapes treasures Lol😅. 😊 I ❤ the beaches I've have gone to in my 60+ years. I am looking for agates, petrified wood, she'll, and that beach glass. All are amazing finds.

Thanks for giving us this outcrop tour! This was very interesting

Thanks Randy. There are plenty of good videos on "western geology", for those of here in the east, not so much. Please keep these coming.

Very interesting!

What a nice place to pick up fossils!! Thanks Randy

Do you sell the fossils or just collect?

Your videos are great!

Bioturbation and lateral facies variability, I LOVE it!

I have been wondering when you were going to do another video. Love it!! Thanks Randy

We have very similar shales here in NW Ireland full of crinoids and brachiopods it's also oil rich I wonder if the shale beds here and there are connected.

I know that Austin spot. May want to stay away from there at night lol

That's so awesome I wonder what fossils I can search for around the Houston area

I found a rock one time

If you have a chance go check out lake Benbrook about 20 min from fortworth! there are gravel Shores beside the damn just below Longhorn park. I find TONS of shark teeth and vertebrae there!!

I found most of those fossils throughout my trekking. I found an Inocerimous unduloplicatus in west Texas near Big Bend that was almost six feet across. I was with a geo team from Lamar University but my professor wouldnt let me take it home. It took three or four of us to put it in the back of the truck. My professor was afraid it was too much weight to drive back and he was prolly right. Sure would have made a good dinner table. I also collected some of the dwarf pyritized fauna near Waco (Brownwood?) but there was no limit back in them days. Lots of cool stuff around Texas.
