Whoo!! Exhilarating, humbling; what an education I got! I would like an autograph from Dr. Page’s Brain, please. I used to find segments of crinoids on an embankment near my home when I was a kid, in New Jersey. And they’re still living in the oceans today! Same thing with club mosses. Maybe they’re not the same species as the 377 million year old ones, but wow! We live where they live. I just love that!
@@earlysda we don’t agree. I don’t think the Noachian Flood happened. There’s no evidence for it and it was likely lifted from The Epic of Gilgamesh. I also see no evidence of the god that supposedly drowned the whole world either. I’m all eyes/ears if you got any.
@@zach2980 zach, In this video they gave lots of evidence for Noah's Flood. The main thing they are wrong on, is in assuming that isotopes functioned in the past exactly as they do now.
Great work! Should hire a sculptor or someone who works in a quarry to efficiently get the specimens you want out and up. Wheeled carts? Try that for hauling heavy things up a terrain.
I’ve already identified at least 3 fossils which I consider to be “scientifically valuable”. I plan to begin privately excavating the site next Tuesday.
You need someone who's skilled in quarrying and stone cutting opening a crack that should have had a line of feather wedges tapped in rather than a big chisel smashed in is why I say this. Also, nearly pinching your fingers and straining your back makes direction from an expert a must.... awesome vid though, great detective work!
The background is definitely the remnants of a large diameter tree. That was originally offshore when the global ocean levels were lower. This tree became petrified due to pressure and volcanic processes. My theory is this huge tree was the victim of a tsunami and the early tropical type fauna was smashed against the trunk of this tree. This would not be the only evidence of large diameter trees at the shoreline or further out. There is also a mega-forest about 60 miles off the coast of Alabama in the Gulf of Mexico. A wood of large diameter Cedar Trees.
Plenty of amateurs were involved in this dig! It's more the knowledge of what's been removed and where they have ended up (in this case a museum) as the fossils here are must less common and very important scientifically so when they do show up they need to be salvaged and curated. The issue is if we remove all legislation around collecting the fossils here, there wouldn't be any tracking available of them and where they've ended up - so for scientists to study them, it becomes very difficult! Hope this helps explain it a little bit (in more abundant localities, especially coastal, fossil collecting is permitted, but it's case by case) 😊
Are you a palaeontologist or geologist or something else? If you’re a palaeontologist I’d like to ask some questions because I’m writing scripts for videos about palaeontology.
Lol, the old gaffer at 4:10-4:30 "Its me, I'm the one who saw it, noone else has eyes like mine, they're so big, I see every little thing, without me, you'd not have a job to do today"... Just like Donny Trump, so sure he's the only one capable enough to trip over a dead tree.
"marine environment", Well, that would make sense as it was fossilized in Noah's worldwide flood roughly 4,400 years ago. . There are videos of huge fossilized trees you can find here on TH-cam.
Not that's known. Coal at Bideford, North Devon And teignbridge which is closer but still quite a distance. Torbay is south devon. Devon is mostly associated with ancient peat. There are various minerals in Devon, tin copper lead gold uranium quartz churt etc.
Absolutely fascinating ! Thank you so much for “taking us along” on this amazing fossil collection 👍.
Awesome video, how cool to be involved in such a hands on way with such a significant project
Awesome work, thank you!
Great video. Thankyou.
Superlative video! Brilliant! Thank you!!!

Amazing video!! Thanks for sharing!!
Seem like you should consider using feather wedges in some of the places.
Glad to see you again, missed you.😂😂
Fascinating Em, really informative as ever, more field work like this for me, you are the Prof Alice Roberts of Geology, well done.
Thank you so much, that is very kind of you say 😊
Brilliant that Em 👌
Great video.
The dating bit was a great addition! Thx
It was fossilized roughly 4,400 years ago in Noah's great flood.
@@earlysda a surprising number of people probably agree with you.
@@zach2980 zach, That's nice, but the fact that we agree with God is what counts most.

Nice to see your back,I thought you had turned into a fossil 😂😂😂
Great work!

Excellent presentation and informative
Noo.. unesco is fake
Thank you so much! 😊

PERFEKT ✅👍

3:39 oh wow! Those really do look like Stigmaria
I live in Arkansas and I have collected these fossils here! As a child we would string the crinoids for bracelets.
Will the site continue to visited to see if the ocean uncovers any more fossils .

nice little specimen of giants finger, and fingernail, flora and fauna plant remains n the protruding bedrock grain
were they like primitive palmetto ? 4:30
Christ that'll be one place torbay council can't build even more houses on for their mates in Liverpool and Manchester!
It'll end in tears.
you are doing nothing - but PROPERLY!
That was exciting.
AWESOME
So where's the tree?
8:59 ah this kind of science
shame most recent decent discoveries were made by collectors :( god knows how much has been lost due to erosion
do you mean it's shame that there isn't the finance in academia to have hundreds of experts searching the fast eroding shorelines every day ?
@@1000000trs in a ideal world yes but in reality that's not affordable and why collectors are so important.
@Cheese_Boi1986 I agree
Erosion is naturural recycling. Isnt 'natural' sposed to be best?😂😂😂
@helenamcginty4920 No, we want to get the fossils before their lost to the sea
So you would rather have them destroyed by the sea than collected by amateurs?
Right that makes so much sense.

they look like cholla cactus or Joshua tree skeletons.
Ive found heaps of pretfired wood

I'm a palaeontologist, but I'm afraid I'm a bit too busy with other things at the moment, to comply with your wishes. I hope that's ok?
@ that’s fine. Great to meet others in the field.

What do you think of those channels where you often see folk on the beach smashing open large rocks to remove fossils to then sell online...
I find them quite good fun to watch. What do you think of them ?
are there coal deposits nearby. Maybe the same bark will show up in those.
Not that's known.
Coal at Bideford, North Devon
And teignbridge which is closer but still quite a distance.
Torbay is south devon.
Devon is mostly associated with ancient peat.
