Amid all the mad babble on YT we find the calming and engaging Yorki foss. Well done chaps.
Thank you for your kind comment, we really appreciate it! 🐬🐳
Unfortunately if fossils aren't collected from the beach then the tides rapidly erode them away. In Dorset they actually encourage people to collect them, because being lost to the sea is such a waste.
You guys have just made my Decade!!! i have had a fossil for over 20 years that i thought was a tooth. I've kept it with my other things and forgot about it. Then i watched this and the penny dropped!!! I have a Belemnite.....i have it infront of me as i write this. Great job guys i'm made up i know what it is now .Don't stop lookin....
That’s great to hear, we’re so glad we helped identify your find!! Thanks so much 🙏🏻
Brilliant story sp pleased you kept it lol
My boys love fossil hunting and are fast becoming real rockhounds and have got me down to Filey for the weekend. Can you recommend any particular spot to go hunting for fossils with them.
Yes please more scenery , it's so beautiful .
Thanks so much, noted!
Really nice to see also other fossils, like the pyritized shell, and the search for them. I enjoy the videos a lot. Thanks.
Thanks so much, we really appreciate it! Will try to keep them varied 🐬🌊
Your enthusiasm is contagious. Thanks.
We really appreciate that, thanks so much.
Congratulations on finding that outstanding belemnite fossil, and thank you for sharing.
This is next level Belemnite greatness! Well found and prepared.
Thanks mate 🙏🏻 Such a lovely Belemnite isn’t it!
Just wandered into this unknown but You've convinced me to keep watching. It's Hypnotic. Great work Guys.
Thanks so much, more fossils to come! 🐙🦎
Lovely to see you young folks so knowledgeable and keen on your passion.
Thank you for your kind comment, we really appreciate it! 🐬🐳
Such a lovely fossil hunt 😍, great to find some spessims ,and that's all part of the joys of hunting.
Thank you for sharing, Happy Tuesday Simon and Beth ❤❤❤
Amazing belemnites especially the last one. When I was a kid I used to call them carrot stones (we mostly got the orange coloured ones) no one knew what they were until someone said they are from lightening strikes on the sand, which is what I believed until I was an adult and started fossil hunting
Thank you 🙏🏻 Orange belemnites sound great! They can certainly be misleading fossils 🦴 Sometimes they look like teeth 🦷
First time viewer here,
And found this video fascinating! Discovered an interest I didn't know I had. Will definitely be coming back
Glad you enjoyed it 🙏🏻🦕🦖
Thanks for posting and sharing. Very interesting.
That belemnite still attached to its phragmacone at the end is a fantastic specimen!
It’s pretty unique isn’t it! Certainly one of the coolest we’ve seen!
Yes. Haven’t seen anything like this during the paleo labs or the lab books (way back when … varsity 🙂)
Has to be museum quality. For sure.
That's a good hobby cool
That last belemnite is such a great one! Liked those calcite crystals as well
It’s pretty special isn’t it!! Will have to show some others too 🦑
Fantastic finds! I personally love the ammonites but that belamnite was something else. Might have to give that website a look, lol
That belemnite is amazing! Fantastic find
Thank you 🙏🏻 🦑🦑
Love this dude! His like a stone surgeon with that hammer 👍😄
Great videos in your channel. These are not random findings but they are the result of targeted and skilled research. Thank You for sharing
Fascinating stuff! The one at the end was really impressive. Great job, guys!
As a teenager I lived a couple of years in La Paz, Bolivia. Once we went on a trip to a ski resort called Chacaltaya, 5500 meters above sea level. We stopped to see the view on a road surrounded by piles of rock fragments. We started kicking some of the rocks and to our surprise, they cracked open to reveal tiny marine fossils(trilobites, I believe). Most of the rocks seemed to contain one. Unfortunately, we didn't stay long enough to make a thorough search, but the ones we found we took home.
Isso comprova que a Terra já foi um planeta gasoso e se tornou Planeta Água até formarem os oceanos
Bonne Année Yorkshires...............
Happy New Year 🥳
Hi lads, only just looking into doing a bit of fossil hunting and after all the videos ive watched i think yours are so refreshing. Gonna subscribe now!!!! Lastly which beach is this please?
Very enjoyable ❤Thanks for taking us on the journey ❤️🔥
Thanks Mam 🤩❤️
I like the way the nodules look before they are hammered and split.
what's that thing behind you at 1.50 look's like a mammoth tusk or maybe a giant rib?👀
Супер, вы путешествинники во времени!!!!
Я в восторге!!!
Wow fantastic lads.👍
Thanks so much 🙏🏻🌊🐬
There is an ancient quarry on top of Bredon Hill, in Worcestershire, where we find fossil shells and bits of Belemnites. Over 1000 feet above sea level.
Great stuff lads .I was always into fossils and now my kids are ,they're very excited and watched this with me .
That guy is the nicest specimen on that beach, lol
Beautiful belemnite specimens.
Would be ecstatic to explore that beach and spending hours in it.
Hi guys, could you please tell me where was this filmed? I would like to visit this place! Thank you!
This really is amazing you guys found such a complete belemnite fossil! Wow! Thank you for this video. How much would one of those go for on the market?
Pretty awesome isn’t it! If you would like a fossil, please check out our official website, thank you 🙏🏻
Super video! What sort of camera are you using?
Excellent. 😮🦑🦑 Sweet.
I love finding and cracking some me some concretions, nodules, geodes and such, also love eating noodles which is completely unrelated yes :) I also love finding ammonites and trilobites :) Is there any videos where you guys hunt for trilobites, have you ever hunted/owned/bought any? Have you ever found any trilobites?
Thanks so much, more fossils to come! 🐙🦎 We have nowhere nearby to find trilobites unfortunately, but would love to find one! We’ve never owned one either!
@@YorkshireFossils That sucks, since that place is jurassic, makes sense you find none, where i live in denmark is danian and nearby is more danian but also cretaceous :) Most of denmark is cenozoic but the island of bornholm have ranges all the way back to precambrian! Since denmark was underwater we mostly find sea life, but bornholm has land and water since it was covered in land but also water! It's a bit far away but totally worth it for the trilobites and dinos and other things. I have bought some really well preserved trilobites and ammonites, so well preserved they look alive or like they're sleeping. Also got a little amber with inclusions which is always nice. Have you guys got any amber? If so, got any with inclusions? 🦖🦟
В свое время находила рисунок листьев внутри угля. . Было упоительно интересно.
I liked opening the shale. You didn’t find much but it was exciting
It’s certainly exciting but takes a while before you find much 🙏🏻
Couldn't be arsed to watch this as RUclips insisted on me watching a 20 second advert beforehand.
You should try a hammer that comes more to a point to focus the energy in a concentrated area it’ll crack open the rock easier and it’s a nicer split
Very cool! I have subscribed! Have ya found any geodes in your area?
Thanks! We haven’t found any geodes no
Hi all its great Ammonite finds, it reminded me of my Mum when she was very young way back in the day . Mum found a Ammonite fossil about 5ft to 6ft in size I think it was the largest found in New Zealand but the funny thing happen they misspelt her name when they put her name in the books
That sounds incredible about the find that she made! We have never found an ammonite specimen that large before! Great work 🙌🏻
You'd enjoy Hell Creek country. Jordan, MT. was where I hunted.
Did you pat a pebble at the start my guy 🤣🤣🤣👊 i live in blackpool i found a small one on the beach, it has a perfect white line going round the whole pebble but the pebble in really dark. Why is the line so perfect round the whole pebble ???
I didn't know that we had calcite in the UK. Have you considered selling those as well?
Some of the fossils we offer contain calcite 🙏🏻
@@YorkshireFossils lovely. I'll take a look
Whare is This ? Me and my whife love This type of just looking and finding. Ofc we dont bring with us home just super intresting to loot. Ty for a grate video
what about the huge rib behind on minute 2:00
Então pode ter muitos fósseis enterrados na praia?
Nice!
Thanks mate 🙏🏻
@@YorkshireFossils 😁👍
I think even the empty ones are beautiful. They’d look striking in a garden
Yeah, they look better wet. Thanks, coming from the Mojave desert.
I couldn’t help but think that Belemnite was miraculously preserved for hundreds of millions of years then OOPs, it didn’t split right.😀
Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
Na Basílica de Nazaré em Belém do Pará - Brasil, tem vários fósseis na pedra do piso.
Thank you, for another great video see you guys in the next one.(🫨) Stay✨️🙏✨️
Thanks for watching! Stay tuned for more 🙏🏻🦖🦕
The spherical nodules looked like some strange melon, with a rind, but no seeds. Chert nodules are common where I am from in the US, but few of them yield as many fossils, at least not visible ones.
That’s similar to here really, not many of the large nodules contain any fossils for some reason 🤔
What was the fragmacone? I used to think it might be the tentacles because of being an early squid, but having seen that really well preserved belemnite it obviously wasn't. Can you describe or, better still, show us a drawing of how it was constructed because my imagination has short-circuited!
Hey i follow yall on facebook. Was hoping you could explain this rock i found on lake ontario ny beach ?
What makes the nodules form separate from the shale?
To be honest it’s not fully known yet 🤔
Ski goggles aren't safety googles, lol...on a more positive note, I stumbled onto this vid, and looked up Belemnites, now wiser for the day!
I am a new scriber I hope this is OK to ask but do you ever do any mud larking.
Hey 👋🏻 We haven’t done any mud larking before but it looks cool!
Question: would any hammer do or does it have to be the same as your using mate? Sorry if it’s a dumb question
Any hammer will do. The thing with the hammer is the material, which dictates how hard it is and how hard it can hit. For example, you don't want to be smacking really hard things with a hammer that is too soft, or you'll end up with a broken hammer. But for delicate tasks you might want more delicate tools.
@@thehowlingjoker thank you for replying really appreciate it. question what kind of hammer is that?
@@MrZeroFksGiven Looks like an engineer hammer. There are hammers specifically made for geology/paleontology, I would personally recommend looking into those and finding cheaper, generalised equivalents.
Engineer or Engg hammers and rock hammers are a good place to look.
@@thehowlingjoker thank you so much mate 🙏🙏 hope you have a positive day
@@MrZeroFksGiven no problem, good luck finding what you need.
Is that a rib from a boat behined youre foot ? looks like a tusk or something , i could be 100% wrong , but looks like something .
I don’t think it’s a risk unfortunately 🙏🏻
i'd rather just travel to yorkshire & open a few while there on vacation lmao. respect the grind tho
🦕🦴🙌🏻
Greetings from the BIG SKY.
How can I get a nodule to open
Near Whitby?
@130drade How else can they find if something is inside? They don't have x-ray vision, and it's not like they're archaeologists and have to use trowels and brushes. Anything they are looking for at these particular sites are rock within rock. The softest stuff around is the shale where fossils can be found between layers by splitting. It's not like sandstone. Totally different method of extraction needed. Horses for courses!
Tolle Exponate!

Ciao ragazzi bel video
Thanks so much 🙏🏻🦕🦖
What do you do with the fossils you collect.
All sorts! Our main goal is to save and prepare important fossils and share them
Were they ever used as spear tips??
I don’t think so
Супер!!!
so fun
How beautiful the belemnite!!! Don´t you collect the shells?
Awesome isn’t it!! We sometimes collect the better preserved shells 🐚
Lacht jetzt nicht. Ich hätte den kugeligen Stein komplett zum Auto geschleppt und an meinem haus aufgestellt. Und immer wieder darüber gestreichelt. Wirklich!
what is ths??
Id love to explore that beach!! If i found even a small ammonite id be so happy!! A pyritized one would be the best ever! I live in Northern Ireland and all ive ever found....just by sheer luck...was a broken ammonite fragment and a broken imprint fragment. Still cool finds all the same.
Thank you, it’s a pretty cool beach to explore for sure! There are certainly plenty of great things out there to be found if you keep looking 🙏🏻
Couldn't help noticing the huge curved thing behind him when he's hammering away at that first largish round rock. What was that?
멋있어요 ~ ^^ 👍
Glad you enjoyed it! More to come 🐊🏝️
What's the location of this place?
Maybe you could show a picture of the “animal “ with the fossils?! Would be more interesting 🧐
На что ты снимаешь?
What is the “preparation process”? Could you like a source?
Please check our RUclips playlist with all of our fossil preparation videos so far
Thank you 🙏🏻
Thank goodness, every single one I’ve ever opened has been empty ! Guess I’ll just keep trying 😃
Nothing wrong with trying, (good luck🍀).
I’m sure eventually you’ll find something special 🙏🏻🌊
Niçin öyle nodül şeklinde ?
Coloca uma foto pra gente te uma ideia de como era o animal
Do you ship to the USA?
We do indeed
Супер!!!!!!👌👍👍👍
Thanks for watching! Stay tuned for more 🙏🏻🦖

@@YorkshireFossils 🌀🔆✊
the round ones you found, looked like big dumps from a giant rabbit 🤣.
At 6.23, is that a tooth?
This is beautiful and very interesting....💪💪⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Thanks so much 🙏🏻🦕🦖
@@YorkshireFossils i am your follower now.💪😁
Today I learned rock bullets are actually little tiny squidies.
🦑 🦑
I see rail tracks next to a cave, wrre they mining something in that area?
Ps, you guys need to get a gas powered rotory saw with a diamond blade to square out those fossils stuck in large rocks.
They were indeed mines here but the metal is actually from a ship wreck 🛳️
How many fossils do you suppose you've destroyed being so crude as to use a sledge? How devolved are you?
I found one at robinhood day.
That’s a nice beach isn’t it 🏝️
I’d love to have those round rocks for my garden..
That looked like a footprint on the underside of the very first slab that you turned over
I see what you mean, but I don’t think it was a footprint on this occasion
