- Fossil Hunting showing some Golden Fossils. Here 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. Now, turned to stone, these fossils are falling from their stoney resting place of the cliffs and onto our beaches.

In case you’re wondering how and why these fossils are so rounded and shiny, here’s the geek version!! :)
The shiny coat is pyrite, and it’s the chemical reaction/ combination of iron and sulfur (AKA fools gold). It’s the chemical process/ result following the death of soft bodied creatures (like the snails in this video, existed over 500 million years ago), and occurs in oxygen free surroundings (being buried under heavy sediment) that preserved the outline of the creature’s harder shell into a three-dimensional rounded shape fossils with a gold color coating.
And, it’s the lack of oxygen that prevented normal decomposition after death, and in turn, allowed sulfur-breathing bacteria to do the job while converting sulfate into hydrosulfide, that in turn reacted/ connected with the iron in the creatures dead body while slowly decomposing it (over hundreds/ thousands of years), enough to creat the bubble shape and eventually give it’s golden color.
But hey...forget ALL the boring scientific talk...and just think how AWESOME it would be to come across one of these prehistoric golden spheres and to hold hundreds of millions of years worth of frozen time within the palms of your hands!! :)
Ann Julee thanks, for explaining in straight forward terms, for that extra "geeky" information, that doesn't assume we can't understand or don't want, more in depth information.
Ann, 500 MY! you really swallowed all the nonsense of Planet of Apes didn't you!
My pleasure, Pebbles...I’m always happy to share and spread some of my childhood geekiness around! :)

If you say so, Rose! :)
As the geek that I am, I know that there’s no such thing as “nonsense” just because someone called it that (most scientific theories were initially described as such, until later proven otherwise), there’s only nonsense sources of information through which we verify what we receive AS information. Now, you may accept yours from movies and believe you’re a talking ape on this planet (or a human owned by apes and rebells against them), but I prefer actual scientific authentic studies and the type of knowledge available to everyone in library books and/ or through verified and credible research sources on the internet. Nothing against you, Rose...most people often laugh when I point out that the internet is “good” for other things beside social media and porn entertainment...I’m juuuuuuust saying! :)
For what it’s worth, Rose, I assure you that EVERY word I wrote can be easily and scientifically verified and supported,...and I strongly suggest you do just that. Hey, you might even surprise yourself by learning about things/ elements you never thought of and most people tend to take for granted and overlook, starting with ourselves and our surroundings. And NO, we are NOT apes, but we do have more in common with apes than you think. Oh, and I’m not talking about whatever relativity theories out there...
And since I’ve been a geek forever (and can’t really help it), I’ll attempt to lure you into what I always found fascinating (you may even bring your flashlight or a friend if it makes you feel more comfortable, but I sure you you’re safe),...aaaaaaaand I’ll direct you on a path that’s solely science based, specifically chemistry based and a matter of interactions between basic elements...no different than dropping a piece of Wonka’s Sweetarts hard candy in a soda bottle (just be sure you have a mop handy to clean up the mess). How’s that, Rose?! :)
Planet Earth (before clothed monkeys ruled human nightmares), is the sum of balanced chemical elements that allowed life (with no current proof of balanced availability of such elements on other plants). Some elements are exclusive to Earth (made through chemical interaction on Earth), while others are the result combinations of elements that could NOT have possibly been created on Earth,...BUT these elements are the basis for ALL life on Earth, and absolutely NO living cell could ever exist without.
These elements are Carbon, Iron and Oxygen. In a general sense, Carbon is the main DNA strand-binder, Iron is the main mass container, and Oxygen is the main gas living cells need to breath AND the main component of water (H2O), no living cell can live or exist without. And all 3 elements are originally created by intense heat (nuclear fusion style that’s millions of degrees hotter than the max temps of our sun if it exploded in massive fireworks show),...except, these elements are the result of explosions of stars several billions of years older than our sun and several thousands of times larger than our entire constellation.
Oh, and those snails (showing off their shiny fossils in this video, and existed over 500 million years ago), they have more elements and main components in common with the human brain than you think...but we sure came a loooooong way since then. Apes, Rose...I think NOT!! :)

You’re out there finding fossils and I can’t even find my car keys.
Haha I hope I don't lose my car keys on the beach!
😆👍😅👌😂👏🤣👊
Twitter moment
2:50 title Text here XDDDDDD
Would like to see the polishing process. ✌🏻🇺🇸
Absolutely !
Just a guess, but I'd say a buffing wheel on a grinder, using fine polishing wax/compound
What do you mean? They find em just like that on the beach...lmfao.
Hope you have a spare 500,000,000 years.
Man, those are great, I find ammonites here in the U.S., on the shore of lake Texoma in Oklahoma. I’ve found some that are almost 3ft across, chunks lay everywhere, they stick out of the bedrock wallls as well. I haven’t found any gem quality ammonites but I have found some that have crystals on the inside. Found a few sharks teeth as well as a razor clam fossil bigger than my hand. Oh, can’t forget all the heart urchins, their my favorite, they shine like their made of quartz or something. Love this vids, their too great.
I'm from johnston county oklahoma we shld link up and go fossil hunting
Cool.
Golden fossils, omg they are amazing, im honestly tearing up at how beautiful they are.
I just discovered this channel and I’m mesmerized by the fossils you find and your knowledge on the subject
1:23 hmmm... Is that a fossil on the right corner?
Great finds, professional video, like the polished pyrite and even sleeping seal on the beach, the polished fossils and rock show much detail, great display.
Thanks a lot!
@@YorkshireFossils what do you do with the fossils?
I see you doing detail work cleaning out stone from the grooves.
Got to be the best job in the world! Thankyou for sharing this, absolutely incredible
I’m so happy I found this part of youtube! It’s so interesting.
New learning for me. Golden spheres with ammonite inside. Amazing!!
Incredible these gold stones !! Seriously Amazing !!!!!
7:24 The hollow bits in this fossil are really fascinating for some reason. I think I'd never seen that before.
Love the fossils and your friendly seal wave. He was probably wondering what the heck you were up to! Great specimens. ; )
I am from Canada but my father and all his family were from the Yorkshire area. When I was about eleven years old we took a trip to England and we went to where he was born in Heartly pool and we went to Whitby. Which is such a beautiful place.I still remember it to this day. Oddly enough it just it felt like home there. I loved seeing the Whitby Abbey and climbing the stairs.I loved just watching the tide come on the beach and having fresh keepers .It was just amazing there. There is even a little museum right in town.That is dedicated to my dad's side to the family.Because there was a shipwreck and People from my family saved a lot of people from the waters.I also have relatives who are buried in the whitby cemetery. Little unknown fact, the very first Dracula movie was filmed in that cemetery up on the cliff ( Whitby Abbey church). One day a dream of coming back there.
🌼Your dad, definitely was blessed with beautiful skills, now that's art. Thank you, Mr. Smith.😍🏵
Do you polish the golden stones? If so, how long does it take to get that finish?
Man just awesome!!I would love to go find fossils like that it would be a refreshing experience
I fell asleep to this video Christmas morning. Thank you!
Nice Artwork and they are priceless.
These are so beautiful! I only wish these were available In my area! Beautiful video!
Thanks! I will make some more if people are enjoying them
@@YorkshireFossils I'd be interested in buying them!
@@YorkshireFossils I'm in Florida. I just saw a video of yours a few minutes ago and then found this one. I'd love to buy one of your golden fossils. Any possibility of that happening?
@@mattmanzano51 Hey again, if you message my brother's instagram page @01shaesmith10 , or message my instagram page directly @yorkshire.fossils , we will get back to you asap about these specimens :)
@@130alon Hey, that's no problem at all. If you message my brother's instagram page @01shaesmith10 , or message my instagram page directly @yorkshire.fossils , we will get back to you asap about these specimens :) Thank you
The ultimate "rock" concert.
Wow,amazing🤩🤩🤩
Noway!! You are so lucky to get to these finds
Just wondering how many fail are there per 10 cracking of the stones? ie, broken thru the fossil into two pieces?
Through my experience if the stone contains an ammonite it coming out in one piece is about 2-3 times out of ten
Truly a fool's gold mine of ammonites and other fossils. This episode was epic :)
That is insane, i never have seen nothing like it!
SUCH LOVE FOR NATURE!
👍 cool video, I can watch all day for the most part, I find things like this interesting, peaceful music, I collect different rocks and strange things myself
Fósseis maravilhosos, belíssimos!!
Queria poder ir nesse lugar.
I loved this recording ,thank you . They are like a magical treasure .
Cool video!!
How the hell are they getting shiny? They buff out looking like chrome?
Most likely
Thanks for sharing these wonderful ammonite nodules with us -185 million years old .Awesome finds you have made there .I just launched a TH-cam video with Lyme Regis fossil finds in as well at the same time more or less !
You're welcome! And what a coincidence hahaI watched your video too and enjoyed it
Thanks 🙏
Awesomely cool dude.
I have so many questions. How do you even knw what rocks to look at? Impressive work and thanks for taking some of us with you.
WOW thats interesting . I love learning about fossils .
My grandad got me into fossils when was three love Whitby got some great ones thanks love this channel
Awesome specimens.
Thanks!
Was für ein Genuss
Thankyou for sharing this.. 👏👏😌 yet again you guys made me speechless...
My dad is also working on several other impressive fossils!
@@YorkshireFossils Can't wait to see them, your dad does lovely work.👏😌
This is good stuff. I went to the fossil show in Quartzite, AZ and Tuscon, AZ. I'll Never forget what I saw there. NEVER...🌈🌈🌈🌠
Very cool! Love what your doing I wish our beaches here in South East USA had as many fossils laying about especially golden ones!!!!
If you're looking for fossils more locally to you I think you'll have better luck in rivers than at the beach
Megladon teeth are common in your area
That Nautilus is siiiiiick! Absolutely beautiful
Wow, your Instagram and youtube accounts always draw me in and I end up scrolling through your content for hours. What beaches do you go too to find these?
Haha thanks a lot 😎 These are near Whitby
Agree, watched loads of your vids, needed this through isolation dude ✌️
You are lucky men... indeed!
Thats amazing wish i can find at least a small one but guess there is non in my country
They aren't everywhere unfortunately :)
Amazing! Thx, what a treat.
✨️A GOLDEN TREAT. ✨️
This is stunning and beautiful
They are so beautiful.
Nice video thanks 🙏 for sharing my friend stay safe stay connecte good luck 👍🍀
These are incredible!
Wonderful, makes me want to venture over the border from Lancashire 😃
😎
That dog looks so relax
Whoa!! Nice.. 🇵🇭
Very beautiful!
How the grey stones become golden?
Really good stuff btw
@Mark Hepworth Do you know what they are polished with ?🦆💕
Could watch for hours! So compelling 😀
Love the golden eggs. I have white limestone fossils of all kinds near me but no golden eggs!
Can you show me...
How do get the fossils 2 look chromed is polished painted ??
Outstanding!
Your fossils are beautiful. I am a bit disappointed that you didn't explain how they became so pretty on the outside. You showed how to find and clean them. Is it a natural metal mineral in the rock? Thank you for sharing your video.
I would like to know how you get the shiny outsides too!
Thank you, glad you liked! More stuff to come
Just made my bucket list..how awesome!
Good job
Glorious fossils!
Extra Nice
why did it look like a ball of alluminium on the outside really curious :)
Incrível ..Gostaria de encontrar um fóssil....Parabéns pelo trabalho..
Cool fossils
Thanks! Think you're our biggest fan on here so far 😉
Wow, really cool
Wow 👍
@2:50, best info ever
Great videos. Your awesome for being able to identify the fossils potential from a distance.
I would so love to have one of these golden rocks let me know if there is a way for me to own one
@WalterRamjet HeroOfOurNation Nigga how blind are you, this whole video is about golden fossils. Did your dumb ass think they were gonna be made out of ACTUAL GOLD and get disappointed? xD
@WalterRamjet HeroOfOurNation it's not golden to start out and actually it's not golden at all it's a rock high in pyrite or fooks gold and it polishes to that luster
Hi its Yorkshire.Fossils brother, if you message my instagram at @01shaesmith10 I can help you out. Thanks!
Can’t wait to find a fossilized human being to put on display.
Your wait is over. Petralona cave
The cave's most prominent fossil specimen, since known among paleoanthropologists as the "Petralona Skull". The on-site Anthropological Museum of Petralona displays a selection of the objects that have been found in the cave
@@sixfigureskibum cool
does homo sapiens fossils even exist? i tought we weren't that old lol
@@riko5392 yes
Beautiful!❤️
its amazing......
It would be nice if you had a live show. I'm sure many people would like to have questions answered. 🤔
What fun to get out and discover.
Absolutely amazing!!!
I have also found the fossils of clam type shells like a Cresent? Or letter D , i used to call them "bat wing fossils" as a kid... lol. but With all the mother of pearl still attached! I love those finds...i nedd to get better cam...and make vids!!
I live in Easington and have found a few fossils on the local beaches. 👍
Have you coated them shiny ones n polished them
Great channel. Glad I found. Thanks.
Astonishing! I only ever found fossilized salt water sea shells in the limestone of the bay of Green Bay. Apparently the Gulf of Mexico used to extend this far North.
🐚⚒🏝🤯🤯
The bird was so cute
Cool
Thanks for sharing
🙏
How these rocks are so shiny
Show me the finding of one, can you?
Ya it's bull 💩
hesakia Munson no it isn’t I find them they are originally found grey and have to be thoroughly polished. They turn golden due to a thin covering of iron pyrite which once polished is a flashy golden colour. Before saying it isn’t real you should first make sure you are correct!!
I'm not always right but I'm never wrong.
hesakia Munson what do you mean?? You got it wrong accept it ...
@@zs9372 have you tried looking at his other videos?
Incredible!
Good friend....
Very cool bro ! I'm only few hours drive from that beach I must go on a hunt for one as there very cool ? For a collection a must ...
