  • This was my first time hunting in the great state of Alabama for fossils and minerals! We hunted for over 15 hours this day, well into the night for at least 3 totally different kind of fossils: marine shark teeth from the Cretaceous, petrified wood inside pyrite nodules and calamites (giant horsetail-like plants) from the Carboniferous period! It was a great start for Alabama and I suspect we will be spending a ton more time here in the future, exploring all the fun things the state has to offer that cannot be found down in Florida!

      Your channel is doing great things but your filming is horrendous and very difficult to watch. You need to focus on keeping the camera as steady as is possible and stop bouncing it all around. If you can master the filming part, your channel will grow expediential.

I haven't gotten to id them all yet but there were a few of the nice crow like you found and a ton of sand tigers and one really awesome great white and so many more yet to be identified I'm pretty new to it still and some just look really similar to me.
