Absolutely love you vids pal. Where you from? Accent sounts like mine?!?!?!! Close to Notts????
I have a few questions. First, why have you decided not to use a chisel of some sort to split your nodules? Second, would creating a striking platform help you to control where the nodule splits? This is a strategy that ancient flintknappers used, to help direct the force of their hammer stone. I know that the matrix is hard shale, not flint, but perhaps the same principle could be applied, anyway?
Most of the time, there’s no where to get your chisel in, which means it’s all hammer work. Striking platform wouldn’t matter too much. A lot of the time you can’t see where the fossil is, so again, it’s all guess work. You win some you lose some unfortunately 🤷♂️
@@WhitbyFossils1 Hmm…But when you can, you do choose where to strike the nodule based on certain features, or you take a guess. So there’s an experimental element to the procedure. It seems to me that if you could put more limits on where the crack goes, how it spreads, then you’d have a better chance of not damaging the fossil. No?
All depends on where it lays in the nodule. Sometimes there’s already unseen cracks that are going straight through. It’s a pure chance game. You win some, you lose some.
Hi mate, which beach was this if you don’t mind me asking? I went to Runswick and saltwick at the weekend, very unprepared knowledge wise, was looking in the brittle grey rock think it’s called shale? (Not sure) found nothing but flattened imprints. Hoping to go back soon I’d even be happy to find one 🤣 now I know to look for the nodules. Is there certain parts of saltwick or Runswick where you’d find them? I went north at both beaches and didn’t see many pebbly areas
Nice haul Dan 👍
Cheers matey 😁
Do you by any chance sell these to some of the local shops? I bought one in Staithes and they said it was a local guy who sold them.
I found some epic ones up in Staithes. If you go down onto the beach, over the boat loading gate and follow the shelf around avoiding the cliffs it opens up and you can walk around up for a few miles. To the east.
I think most fossil hunters probably don't go there because it is pretty dangerous.
You can hear the cliffs crumbling as you walk around so just wear a helmet.
I filled two rubble sucks and a backpack with split nodules and all sorts.
I had seen many interesting things in the background.
I can’t wait to get back out 😎
Soon 😏
