Special tip for you Elley: The fossils are Much Much MUCH easier to find there when it is raining (sprinkling). The Naco Limestone turns a darker shade of gray whereas the fossils themselves are a whiter color because the calcite that forms them does not absorb the moisture at the same rate. ...In some places where you may see absolutely nothing when it is dry (because everything looks that same shade of light gray) the fossils literally stand out and it makes making discoveries so much easier. at 12:14 you have discovered one of the rarest of fossils there: the basal cup of a crinoid calyx. It was the bottom of the calyx where the crinoid attached to the stem (think of the base of a flower where it attaches to its stem). That was an AWESOME find!
That's amazing, I'm going to share a video with Bryan Major and Brad , on the thousands of fossils that I found this year, I have 311 Blastoids , and thousands of crinoid fossils and horn corals and 4 complete Jelly fish, and lots of flower tops of Jelly fish
The kids love that spot! They watched this and wanted to leave to immediately to see if you're there lol.. kids don't realize things are taped earlier and not real time. 😅
Wow, incredible aloha and many thanks Mahalo for sharing your appreciation for this wonderful place. It’s amazing. I wish you please consider running small seminars with a few group of people. If that’s comfortable I would be willing to pay a few hundred dollars. Just get a touch, knowledge, enthusiasm and exploring the world that we have thank youBishop Brendan
Fossils, fossils everwhere! Cool! I have never been t if ere but it us on our ever growing list. When we head back West will start crossing some off. Thanks for taking us along. Don't apologize for the mispronunciation of some of the names . It tgey wanted us to do it right they would have hsd other names, like spot, bumpy, and shell like. Keep the gun coming. Be happy, safe and stay healthy😷⚒🐚
I live in Central Oklahoma and they mine gravel that’s used everywhere in this area. You can dig through the rocks and find shells and plant stems . I guess there was a shallow sea over this area and that’s where all the fossils developed. Very neat , thanks for this video.
Our high school natural science class went to that spot in the 1970s and dug fossils. 30 years later I took my kids there. Such a great resource, a virtually unlimited supply of fossils. I'm not sure what the attraction is in climbing up the slope and bang away on the untouched stuff, since you can do as well surface hunting down below, but we always climbed up there when we went. Thanks for the video.
Hi Elley!... When are you coming to california? In the SF East Bay we have so much interesting geology with our volcanic preserves and shell Rich vertical sediment Banks from the ancient plieocine era seabed, we have the serpentine plain., And the sandstone layers of rock city Mount Diablo with Indian petroglyphs.
I saw that humming bird to the right of U near the border. In Utah the petrified wood & fossils are radioactive sometimes yellow Carnitite. Usually old fossils have a good count to them.
Awesome you did this video because we found one that was stuck to a larger rock and is colored with the chalcedony south of there at the Salt River area. Such good specimens there
That signage was designed and implemented by Ben Mohler, who grew up to be a paleo croc expert! (He even let me draw a couple images for it)Thanks for visiting this spot and highlighting our state's geology!!
You should check out the fossils we have in Michigan. See RUclips channel "Michigan Rocks". He takes you to some cool sites. A spray bottle of water would help you show us what you're finding. Neat site.
I can only imagine the comments you get here with those shorts on and those camera angles.😅😅😅 I'd love to go out with you but for agates. Thats what I love.❤❤❤ Be safe and pray daily. Christ loves us.
At 12:17,that thing you didn't know is a section of a crinoid stem. You are looking at an axial view of it. Some of them will look like wheels of hot wheels cars.
Fun day. I have since learned that, about 20 years ago, 260 ran right past where you were standing. That ledge was cut originally for the road. When they split the highway they went around this spot.
That’s awesome. They probably realized hey this is a historical paleo site we need to leave it alone. I had a blast up there. Thank you so much for letting me drag you around
How about going to a roof top carpark and sweeping up all the dirt you can find and take that back to your house and wash the dirt over & over, All the sticks and leaves will float to the top so thats easly removed, Step 2 sift though the material left under the micro scope and before your eyes you will see the most intricate designs and coulours you have ever seen from these micro meteors, Some are as small as a pin head to 3-4mm, But what they lack in volume, they make up in stunning looks.
I feel as a native that calling a native American Indian is racist because we arent indians we’re natives if Indians live in the opposite side of the world

I`ve found several teeth there. I was told they are shark teeth. Small, but neat to find

Love your videos. Thanks for giving us places to go..
You are so welcome. Thank you so much for watching

I have so many fossils from there❤
Lots of black bear in the area, met a lone hiker there running from one, I left too lol as I was by myself.

Rock on!
Thanks!!!
I love that place. I found some interesting fossils underneath an old dead tree stump

@@ElleyKnowsRocks you can drag me anywhere. At least I'm lighter now. ;) I loved the whole weekend!
elley :)
fosil dining always fun to do im always surprised what i find
classifier be handy there
A classifier would’ve been a great thing to have but did I bring one no 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️ Sometimes I forget the best and most simple things
@@ElleyKnowsRocks LOL OH ELLEY
@@ElleyKnowsRocks always make a list befor going out

This seems like a very cool idea 💡
Nice your back home
Thanks
Put super glue in with your pick to partly correct accidental breakage.
Theres alot more fossil in areas around here then just that spot. I live in starvalley
we have fossils in oregon from the ocean drying up
Is there a mrkt for fossils like this
What do mean, ruined in the water? You washed them off and ruined them?
Oh I forgot up by Snowflake we were finding ammonites fossil
Oh my goodness ammonites are some of my favorite!!!
Hmmm... don't know what to do with your hands or how to protect them???
i'm a really cool fossil / =
I feel as a native that calling a native American Indian is racist because we arent indians we’re natives if Indians live in the opposite side of the world
Your camera looks different at certain times, it's hard to see what's going on 🫤
