How to Make Real Fish Fossils in Your Basement. Fossil Experiment.

- This is a method I’ve come up with on how to synthesize fish fossils at home. Time and pressure are all you really need. The question becomes how much time, and how much pressure. I’ve never seen experiments like this anywhere, but this shows you a method of how to make real fish fossils in your basement. Or you back yard.
Note, if the matrix freezes the ice crystals will destroy it. It cannot freeze. It need to remain wet. Since I’m not able to achieve pressure high enough to generate cementation in the sediment, the best I can do is compact it. So once it dries and is removed from the flask It is still fragile.

For those that want to see the one year update, here it is!
Making Real Fish Fossils In my Basement. 1 Year Update.

Fascinating, who knew fossils were so rare. Synthetic diamonds are nearly perfect compared to real diamonds - you are onto something there.
Might be worth contacting someone at a local university to get a better idea of the specifications/factors that lead to good clean fossils. Trial and error will work fine as well they perhaps could give you a few good leads though
Aliens or future humans are gonna find the weirdest stuff buried in this guy's backyard.
On a scale from zero to George Washington, I give it a 3.
Looking forward to seeing the results in a year. Cool project!
this is the coolest type of Stuff on youTube, Thank You very much for making!
The boys wish they had a basement like yours! 😆 “so much cool stuff” 😄
You need to reduce the shrinkage of the matrix/ material aswell as working out correct pressures.
Material wise though you need to add more fibres to stop shrinkage and cracking.
Mental video though. Pretty cool to see this done In a short space of time in a basement lol!
Love this experiment! I never knew you made a fossil barrel 14 years ago!
how would you anyways lol
Super cool, I want to more how on the techniques you tried
Commenting to help the algorithm.
8:51 - 14 years to wait for a result - wow, that's dedication to an experiment!
1:05 is already my favourite frame of the vid
Does this work with humans, asking for a friend?
Like a global flood that buried dinosaurs… animals…. Tons and tons of fish…
You should make a video where you display all of your past art together!!
Hi! I just came across this video and I will first congratulate you. This is absolutely awesome! I also watched the one-year follow up.
So, at 6:00 you wanted an example of a place with massive fish die-offs and extreme anoxic conditions. Well, it could happen anywhere. *Could*, if not because of human action. You see, whenever massive amounts of fish die, people simply go there and remove all the fish, due to the smell and sanitary reasons. That's why you almost never see these things happening right now.
Without human intervention, all those dead fish would lead to significant eutrophication of the water, which in turn leads to oxygen depletion. And there you have it: a ton of sinking bodies and an anoxic environment, and all it takes is no people messing around.
I’m aware of mass die offs of fish. None of which were cleaned up by humans and the only remnants that remain are beach sand made of fish vertebrae.
And even if what you say is the case the anoxic conditions would have to last essentially permanently otherwise the varved layers would be bioterbated and fish bodied would have been consumed before buried with sediment.
@@lundgrenbronzestudios if the water body is deep enough, the bottom can be pretty close to a permanently anoxic region. The initial eutrophication would deplete the water line close to the surface, preventing other animals from consuming the fish, which in turn could sink and be preserved. Another hypothesis would be the die off to happen close to the mouth of a murky river, which dumps copious amounts of sediment fairly quickly.
@@Pfh3dk a high sediment flux wouldn’t result in varve formations like the green river formation. And at the rate of varve deposits you should be able to see little mounds of sediment covering fish or even fish lying on the bottom from long ago. There are many hypotheticals, but again no place where you can observe it happening.
@@lundgrenbronzestudios Fair points.
Though there are a few lakes today with characteristics that can enable varve formation and are deep enough to have anoxic bottoms (thus potentially enabling exceptional fossil formation): Lake Baikal, Russia; Great Salt Lake, USA; Lake Geneva, Switzerland; Lake Pavin, France; Lake Nyos, Cameroon; and potentially many more.
@@Pfh3dk as an undergrad I did research on lake Lake Malawi. It’s a deep varve forming with anoxic bottom. If you were to core the green river formation it would be fairly common to cross section through a fish, no fish were found in the Malawi cores. All that to say, the green river formation is incredibly rare, unique and special.
08:32 thank you for the experiment!!! 👍🏻 more people needs to see this
This is so freaking cool
I have watched your video over and over and it still isn't boring make another fossil
What if one day we learn that every pristine fossil we've ever found was just an ancient society of people who were doinf hobby fossils 😂
😆 well I’ve dug up a lot myself and I think that would be a pretty massive effort to make.
This is cool, man
Was getting ready to say put some lead weight in those fish, but DOH!
super cool
I'm working on doing this myself but I don't have a welding kit or any heavy metal tubing. Do you have suggestions for any alternative containers? I'm afraid if I use anything less it may break.
It really depends on how much pressure you put down on it. It doesn’t need to be air tights mine were never air tight because the top was never sealed.
You could use plate steel and bolts to hold the container together. It will just take some thinking and experimenting to figure out the best way. Each experiment teaches you something new for the next experiment. So don’t be afraid to fail.
Imagine humans from the year 100,000 find your work and crack it open
Could you lightly dust a layer of calcium before you pour the second layer to help separate it? What would you recommend or any tips, to make a large scale like that 55 gallon drum or a 10 gallon?
What happens if you put vinegar to speed of decomposing speed dropping the pH
Dusting will not work because the dust will still adhere to the previous layer. There isn’t enough textural difference to allow for a good cleavage.
I’ve tried different acids to try to help with lithification, but I never noticed a difference with trying that. Getting as much pressure as you can helps greatly. But with more pressure comes more danger of something breaking and flying off and hitting you. So be carful.
I wonder if those natural fossiles shown were the result of a flood, wherein fish swam out of the normal boundaries of the permanant water for the easy food gathering, and then became trapped as the water dissipated. I would expect to see more organic material embedded in the rock if that were the case though, so perhaps the water was very hard and kept the rotting materials from acid-preservation.
It would also be a question of where the sediment would come from in such a situation. Fish left behind in pools are not readily buried, but consumed by organisms and rotted away. Its a very interesting formation.
@@lundgrenbronzestudios The rock type implies a long time of being a seabed or seashore. Possibly being eroded by reactive types of water (like rain). I don't know where the pictures of the rock quarry were taken, but I suspect that the geological history of the site was similar to modern day Florida. In Florida, there are massive deposits of calcium carbonate, as the entire state is essentially a shallow reef that surfaced when ocean levels receded. Such a pool that would attract many fish and then dry up repeatedly, leaving layers of calcium rich rock would certainly be found in places like FL, with its seasonally enhanced rains. There are many places like this around the world though. Many other places used to be in the right conditions, but the earth's crust is always moving, ensuring that many more mysteries have been placed while others are currently being made.
@@lundgrenbronzestudios yes! It was because of the flood! the conditions during the flood was 14,000 psi along with dissolved silica and heat, it created the hyprethermal (hydro, pressure, thermal) conditions necessary to silicify organic matter in a matter of hours! You can ask me more on my blog scienceinaminute.blogspot.com or probably best to ask the experts who have actually made fossils and amber at universalmodel.com. love this video this guy, he is so smart and is thinking out of the box all the time and directly questions modern science and their false theories. I'm doing my own fossil experiments and this really helped! Thanks!
@@homeboiz9230 I'm reading the UM and that's what led me to this video.
@@travisjohnston739 That's awesome bro! Where'd you hear about the UM? I found out about it when I was 11 and I got to speak with author and learn tons more and then when I turned 16 last year they welcomed me on the team, they are an awesome bunch!
This is really interesting! Would this work with bones too? If so, could you give demonstration?
It doesn’t work as well with bones because bones take such a long time to deteriorate. If I had a way to get pressure high enough to dissolve silica I could probably mineralize a bone, but that would take a much more involved set up.
@@lundgrenbronzestudios how much pressure would that be, also wouldn't that require heat?
@@javierhillier4252 not necessarily heat. But heat can be involved. The mineral dissolution state would be defined in a phase diagram or PT diagram. P = pressure T = Temperature. These diagrams tell a minerals stability within a field of pressure and temperature. Each mineral has a different zone of stability. I don’t know what that would be for lime stone off the top of my head though. Good luck in your research!
I don’t have the ability to welded, what other subsitutes I can use
Finally someone who shares my ideas! 👍
It's almost been a year, waiting to see this!
Cool!
Can anyone share the link of the video of the 14 year experiment? This is really interesting!
There is no video of the 14 year old experiment. If I had a TH-cam channel 14 years ago I may have made one but I just made reference to what I did in this video so people could get an idea of the result.
@@lundgrenbronzestudios ok! No problem. I was hoping to see a full video of the digging of the drum barrel. Those synthetic fossils are amazing. Great work!
What about animal corpses, would they float up
This is awesome
use a lizard next :D
Just another 6 more months left
Wow,,,
I need an update
Maybe we can make fossils of everything!
When I die I want to be fossilized.
Rip that poor fishes
#remindme 1 year 😁
How much did it cost to build?
Oh it was probably $25 in metal, the jack was 40$ at harbor freight and the bag of limestone was about $20. The fish were free.
When you going to crack it open?
Soon. It’s drying now.
Fantastic!
I think it’s time!!
@@het127 I cut it open the other day but still needs a little more drying time.
Illegal under-sized bass.
Ok boomer.
Creator breaks the theory of fossilization
👍👍👍
Diluvial Catastrophism
Put it on r/nextfuckinglevel hopefully it blows up this deserves it its awesome
Me salvaste de gastar dinero en un fósil que seguramente hicieron justo como tú 😔
See you next years
Will this work on a dead rat i found
I love the fossil experiement but I hate that he whispers when he’s doing his commentary no offense love the vid
Inbefore some nut-jobs use this as proof for 'faked fossils' where as it literally shows the process.
Cool experiment, takes way too much work and time though.
Would this work with your everyday kids modeling clay?
Time to scam random rich dude on facebook
Nah. I’m just about the experiments and the science. No scams.
Good way to scam people on eBay
It would definitely not be worth the effort.
@@lundgrenbronzestudioshahaha I was thinking the same thing. $20 per small fish for years of time and effort, plus anybody who would pay high prices would know what to look for and not be fooled 😂
Hey, you have got to watch the TH-cam channel IsGenesis history. It will make all your questions make sense.
