- Here we split open Jurassic Ammonite Fossils with our rusty hammer! Some Golden, some dull and some iridescent mouth-watering fossils! Make sure to stick around to the end of the video to see all of these stunning specimens. This is an insight into the past, what life was like 180 Million Years Ago even before many of the most famous land-dwelling Dinosaurs ever existed.

This is such a wonderful video! I love the intercut shots of the beautiful natural surroundings :) It would be wonderful to see some videos of how you prepare and display your finds, please!
The first nodule has an Ammonite where your left hand is, really surprised you didn't see it.
It sure does, I can’t remember if we kept that at the time or didn’t realise 🤣
Lucky find for Shae with that nautilus! I love the sea views, and it’s nice to show that you often find nothing inside the nodules. Two of the nodules Shae sent me opened up very easily, the other one took quite a lot more muscle and whacks with the hammer 😆 All very nice specimens though!
It was such a lucky find yeah! Most of the nodules are empty so it’s quite nice to show them as well I agree 👌🏻 I’m glad they opened well, I hope you enjoyed opening them 💪🏻😎
@@YorkshireFossils Opening them was really fun! I was nervous that I’d mess it up in some way, but they came out perfectly. I guess all of your videos are good tutorials 😉
I love seeing you open them but also love to se the fossils being prepared!
It’s an exciting process either way isn’t it :)
Loved this video full of openings. lt's impossible to know what's in there until you get the concretion open. So rewarding! Thank you for sharing these!
It was really exciting opening them, especially when they open just the way we want them to!
I Love how you say Wow every time , never tiring of the amazingness of finding treasure : )
Haha it’s always amazing opening them!
Your shows are a marvel of videography! I do love the nautilus, completely exposed and gorgeous! Lovely, lovely ammonites! Well done!💖
That’s very kind of you to say, thank you very much! I always appreciate your kind comments
Great stuff as usual lads. A pleasure to watch.
Thank you, we appreciate that
It’s hard to explain but fossil hunting is so much fun. And thank you for confirming I’m “cracking” fossils the right way. Where I live there’s really on Cambrian and pre Cambrian fossils making them alot more fragile and I always feel bad when I accidentally destroy one.
1:40 beautiful scenery
Lovely isn’t it
Yep, as always, .. quite liked the video Aaron. Hey to Shae as well!!
Thanks! Hey from both of us!
My dad found the same type on hornsea beach around 2 weeks ago,he used a hammer and it revealed the same, i cant wait to go back
I enjoy your uploads. Thank you.
Thank you 🙏
Very much enjoyed the ambiance of sea and cliff shots as well as the openings. These are mini vacations (holidays) for me-thank you!

Beautiful coastline and super fossils! Thank you!
Love these videos. I have 7 nodules, all have ammonites peaking through, but... followed demos online and two have been damaged 😢. Now using the soak in water, then freezing with water, then thaw, then repeat method, after chipping off bits to improve permeability of the concreted shale. But very slow, looks to take months... Ideas?
I just bought 4 large unopened nodules from your brother! I can't wait for them to get to the United States. Very excited about opening them, I hope I don't get any squashed ones.
Thank you very much for supporting our page, I hope you enjoyed opening them!
Thanks for sharing you’re great knowledge and technique. The short time I’ve watched you guys I’ve loved every vid! I have recently subscribed and love the content so far! Stay safe, Lea from Scotland’s treasure 🏴⚒
you said it mate..That's Amazing! nice work lads
Thank you very much, we really appreciate it
Where in yorkshire do you go hunting? Im in the nottinghamshire area and we have some great spots but I want to travel around to find some more
Wow those ammonites were fantastic👌!!
I wish I could find a Nautilus as good as that ;)
Haha thanks, glad you enjoyed it :)
How do u know which orientation to strike round rocks? Have you ever hammered perpendicular to the fossil, damaging it?
We learned through practise but sometimes the fossils can also get damaged, we have minimised this however
Is there a better time of year to find fossils?
Not particularly, but big rough seas can help!
Good video lads.👍
Thanks mate 🙏
Can you only find these nodules, on the Jurassic coasts? Or can you legit find them on any beach front in the uk? Cheers
Very cool stuff!
Thanks mate, we enjoy watching your videos too!
Great vídeo my friend
Thank you 🙏
1:18 Is it really nothing or just not what are looking for as it looks like a fish or perhaps something else.
That’s very true, it was a scattering of little Belemnite hooklets and things, but not what we were looking for. Sadly not a fish though 🐠
Hey man, the question is, how do you know where to hit the rock with the hammer in order to not destroy the amonite from the wrong angle? It amazes me
What blows my mind is when Mark cracks them open while holding them in his bare hands 🤯
It’s from experience mainly, we’ve practised on plenty over the years 🌊
@@Kirsten._._ haha I also don’t know how he does that!!
@@YorkshireFossils seems like that's the whole point of the video it's why I clicked on it
Think about it though. Those fossils have not seen the light of day since many million years ago
You faund so good and perfeckt fossils
I have a quick question, I have a partially exposed, what I believe to be a trilobite, fossil but don't want ro damage it, how to I get to see what inside without completely destroying the whole thing?
I would recommend getting it professionally prepared :)
Nice video 👍🏻
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it :)
What tool do you use? like can I have a link to it? It would go great with my small rock pick
For ammonites we have a variety of brands including ones like Estwing
Great video, do you find many shark or ray teeth in the area?
We can find sharks teeth but they’re really really rare!
Real satisfying videos!
What makes the ammonites squashed or poorly preserved?
If they’re preserved within a nodule they’re usually, but not necessarily, better preserved
How are you able to break them?? I’ve been trying to do this but I can never get the rocks open
It's like cracking a egg but only different
Très belles amonites bravo Je vous envie de voir de si beaux fossiles 👏👏
Thank you 🙏

WOW 😃 estupendas piezas !
Thank you!!
I would some day love to do what you and you family dose but unfortunately as I live in Texas and am pretty much disabled from a spinal birth defect I doubt I ever get the chance to go fossil hunting
what was that pervert doing behind the boulders at the end
WHERE IS HE
We love fossils
Like that you love fossils
😮

Wowwwwwwww
Who
🤔
^5
🙌🏻🙌🏻
