35 MILLION Year Old Fossil Sand Dollar and Sea Urchin Hunting (with Shark Teeth & Crystals!)

- This was a very fun little hunt with my good friends Kyle and Derek! We took out my boat to search different river banks for fossil sea urchins, shark teeth and whatever else we could find. We saw some cool freshwater springs, some wildlife, found great fossils and had a wonderful time.

The camera dip into the spring at 14:50 was delightful! Great looking river for future explorations, too.
i know ~ My Heart Stopped; _nothing existed;_ Life was GRAND . . . for that moment. : }
Yes do more on this river with Kyle, love watching the 2 of you together.
Absolutely, go back! That was awesome. Really happy to see you back out hunting, Cris! I think Kyle missed you. 😉
Glad to see you back !
Thanks David! I appreciate the comment and you watching the video!
Welcome back! I received the Paleo Pack! My grandson is going to be so happy when he opens it on Christmas. Thank you!
Sure good to see you back! That looks like a great place to go back to and discover what else you can find.
Hmmm those little baby echinoids and shells would look beautiful as earrings and pendants! Maybe after they’re stabilized with some crazy glue or resin.
Fully agree with your suggestion of tiny fossils having jewelry potential. There are so many beautiful things found in nature if we only open our eyes.
Not only are all these finds super cool, but it's also just so beautiful there!! The photos I'd like to take there!! Glad to see you're back Cris, can't wait to see more! 🥰
i wish i could travel and do this! looks like fun
It is definitely fun. A lot of people have great stuff very close to them and don’t need to travel though. People in FL often times tell me they wish they could travel to find cool things because they don’t know what’s here. If you wanna do this, try looking close to you. You might be surprised what you find.
@@PaleoCris Yeah. The great thing about fossil hunting is just about every state has them
Woohoo, an upload from Paleo Cris! Outstanding! I love echinoids, they're my favorite fossil. Please do go back to this river!💖
Yes return you'll always remember these great trips as very old men.
My wife (Mrs H) Just suggested that you and Wild Kyle should try and get out to NZ and go hunt for fossils with Mamlambo.
That would be a very interesting mix of personalities. I'm so glad that the TH-cam algorithm, pure chance, or vested interest, dumps a few of us off on the same riverbed.
Yay! Kyle and Derek too. : ) Good idea to cut that one with the crystals and agate banding. Man Kyle's sound effects are hilarious! Chris, you really need to take some stills of the eroded bank or the pools on the bank, for cards or framing. Purdy shark teeth. Chris. Loved that Shizaster, Kyle And Derek. The big question-"What's wrong with Kyle?" hmm .... Can't rightly say, but I do hope it's catchy. Someone needs to make some pendants from those tiny noids. : )
Paleo Cris, & WildKyle, Darren Oh My!!!
That little dip in the spring water was amazing. It looks like the hot springs in Yellowstone
Yay! Thank you for uploading cris! Love the vids
Thank you! Hope you enjoy this one.
@@PaleoCris sure do. Did you get my email?
Another great video Chris, loved it. I think you should, return, to that site, and see . What else is there
I agreeeeee!
Great to see you and what a wonderful day! Yes, go back!
Loved the shark teeth, the crystal was beautiful and the flower my favorite color 💜👍🏻
I've watched a lot of your videos, love fossil hunting, but I remember this one from the great shot of the spring. One of my faves
Oh, yes, underwater photography at allll those springs. Thanks for bringing us along!
I love all the sand dollars. Very special finds. Loved the video,and yes I'd love to you all go back for sure 👍 ❤ 😀
Such awesome finds!! Y'all did so well at these locations!
Love!!! You and Kyle!!!!! Thank you!!!!❤
It's amazing the way you find fossils so naturally, I spend all day exploring and I hardly find anything :)
It's been a while. I haven't gotten any notifications in a long, long time. Great video. I'm glad the team is back together. ✌❤😃🙏
Super glad you are posting again. Love all the videos.
Yessss Cris is back. Live the vid!
I think Kyle and the Rock Master have been away from civilized company too long...
Yes, please - more exploring along that river!
Yes, more please! I'm from Ohio and I metal detect, explore, rock and bottle hunt. We have a lot of limestone in my area and sometimes I find more cool rocks and fossils than anything metal! So, I'm kind of learning some useful stuff from your video. Although I think our limestone is a different era (?) or at least has different critters. Love you guys!
Enjoyed your video as always. More is better. I purchased two paleopacks and donated to my daughter who teaches fourth grade. They are a big hit. Thanks
Glad to see you back. Missed you!
Love seeing those baby fossil sand dollars! It's amazing how little they've changed over the years.
Amazing! I loved the shark teeth and other teeth. Fossil hunting is awesome!
My paleo pack just shipped! Cant wait to search through and find some treasures~!
Wow. Those finds are crazy cool
@17:48......yes, 3 of them.
LOVE SEA FOSSILS everywhere...MORE.....MORE....
Nice to have you back! I'm recovering from surgery in the hospital and that virtual swim was just what I needed!
Thank you so much for making the videos you do and my mom just bought me a Meg tooth and some gravel from you and I am so exited for it to arrive!
Another epic adventure! Good to see a other 🤙 your videos are always amazing you guys are such fun people to watch, and your finds are always awesome and stunning
You and Kyle always crack me up love it!!
Good to see your back.!
Found you through wild kyle, I’ve watched all his and now I’m working on yours. You guys have both inspired me majorly to fossile hunt on my channel. Hope you’re staying safe, and thank you both for all of the inspiration
Glad you're back! Started to think the Rona got ya! Definitely go back!
I’ve never been more excited for a video!
I found your channel about month ago and now it’s easily my favorite channel
I love how gentle Derek is with his movements. (former horse trainer I notice theses things lol)
Please come back. The water was beautiful. Great finds.
That will be cool come back and see what other awesome stuff y'all will found glad have you back
Always take you garden take n a cloth bag like you find at Walmart. I spent years loving Virginia's Yorkshire Foundation. Deep in the Forest the river finds were tremendous to me.
You wanna hit that section when the guage for that area is about 21ft. Summer before last when it was super dry it looked so different and I was in echinoid heaven. There's an amazing limestone exposure on the withlacoochee before it dumps into said river.... I soak that limestone off them for a day in water and tiny bit of vinegar then use a toothbrush. Trust me.. If we get lucky enough for the suwannee to go down more right now gonna be great. Have you read the roadside geology of Florida? Great guide for me when I was first learning about Florida formations
That’s a fantastic book and I used to hunt that exposure you’re talking about. I believe that one is an exposure of Oligocene Suwannee limestone.
@@PaleoCris yep. I truly love that book. The karst formation in that last stretch before it dumps into the suwannee is frikkin unbelievable! There's one particular spring I dive there but the spring pool itself has echinoids in pristine condition mostly laying on the bottom. I almost thought I was hallucinating! 😂 I started feeling bad about how many I'd picked up so I put some back lol. That stretch just went down to a good level then back up this week after that crazy storm Saturday but still good for hunting right now.
Fun video and cool finds! I missed these adventures. Thanks for the video, Cris!
Love you Cris! 💖👍 Please upload more! Hope you & Kyle are doing well
Well done! Enjoy watching your adventures!! Merry Christmas!
Great video! Glad you're back. How old are these echinoids?
Eocene, approximately 35 million years old. They erode out of a solid limestone there that is often partially decomposed into a soft clay. Thanks for watching!
LOVE WHAT YOU FOUND AN OTHER VISIT NEEDED
I would love to see more videos from this area. It is cool seeing the things you all find.
great video!! hi .!! have a good evening. i hope all is well. that was awesome!!
Love seeing yours and WildKyle's perspective on similar content.
Wow!!! That was incredible!
that particular one in his hand at 10:00 is one that I have a few hundred of (I collect them. Also, i'm planning to make a sculpture of one of them made out of a bunch of the normal sized ones whenever I get enough. Maybe with a diameter of 1-2 ft?)
Wow, double header! Just watched WildKyle's vid and now yours! That geode was crazy, and I can't thank you enough for putting your camera into the spring. That was amazing!! Please go back, please, please, please. So happy to see you guys again!
Love the scenic parts as well as the wonderful finds! More please.
Really good polish - I'm waiting to full process video.
Yet another fab video, it would be great to see you explore further along that river. All the best for the holiday season and hope 2021 is a brilliant, fossil filled year!
I love all those little echinoids! Nice variety of fossils, great video!
Yes a new video! Ive been waiting!!
I never heard of echinoids but they are very cool looking. Yes, I would like to see more videos like this to educate me.
18:54 Wife: “It’s like picking up a bag of M&Ms I dropped.” 😂😂
Beautiful river, yes please, go back.
Thank you so much for sharing. Needed.
Return of the king
That’s a great river for future exploration. Come on back to N.Florida.
Amazing finds! A great hunt! Thanks & happy hunting!
you really have a weird talent of summoning shark teeth xD
yes please go back there!
Love the urchin! Great content as always
All I asked for for Christmas was a paleopack and I'm super excited to get it!! The little kid in me is screaming at the thought of getting fossils!!
I didn't know what a Shizaster was until today. Had to look it up! You pulled a good one on an old lady......HEE!
Yes more river!
Awesome video!!
Nice one!! Congrats!
It's been so long!!
If you do return to this beautiful spot I would like to see you explore the hot springs and hopefully you will discover an inner cave that opens up. Wouldn't that be grand?
I would definitely like to see what else you find there. ♥♥♥
So glad to see you back! We were worried! :)
Sizes of the sand dollars and echinoids (spelling)..we'd love for you to come back to the river
Yes, go back. Let's have some fun.
Lol, didn't take you boys long and Boom..both back in the water looking for shark teeth!!
I almost choked when Kyle said "gravelnoids".
You and Kyle need to get in touch with
Theo Kellis. He has a TH-cam channel about rock hunting in Montana. He goes to Fla in search of fossils. Would be great to see you show him around.
Happy Holidays from Ohio.
Kellison isn't it? Check out Montana Rock Mom. I've got the biggest crush on her. Also Rookie Rockhound here in Australia.
@@ginoriccardofiglio2384 I took his name from his channel.
Yes more!
Coincidentally went back to the Tivola Limestone in Perry GA for my 3rd time and got some killer Periarchus sand dollars myself. Out of plain curiosity, have you ever been to the Tivola Limestone before? Absolutely loaded with marine inverts, especially a ton of really well preserved scallops for fossil scallop fans like me.
Yep. More river walking, please.
Thanks for the nature!
You'll have to come back to this place in the summer
Love it Little earring size, I wanna go there too
I found a echinoid in matrix at the Santos bike park quarry in Ocala a little while ago.
A few weeks ago I found a horse tooth in the small pond next to my house it’s pretty cool
Definitely go back!
I want a seabuiscit!! God only knows what's wrong with Kyle.... 😂😂
Awsome like always stay safe, God Bless
I find it funny seeing Floridians wearing full on winter jackets in 65° weather.. thats T-shirt weather here in maine lol
