I hate trying to find decent docus on this topic, all of the stupid cgi dinos, dramatic music and narrative make them sooo hard to watch so I'm happy for this one

Ya true

american documentary's are always so dramatic trying to make a spectacle about every thing

Needs more CGI dinos and a more dramatic narrator.

Wow

Exactly what I was thinking. Too the untrained eye they look just like rocks.

That is what I call dedication to the job! He's bound and determined to find a bone bed come hell or high water ( the latter which unfortunately he gets near the end of the video).

Just don't let a bear get him and/ or you!

Agree!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Same i am 11

i believe in you

🙂 paleontologist [ˌpālēˌänˈtäləjəst] NOUN a person who studies or is an expert in the branch of science concerned with fossil animals and plants. My daughter is also 10 and her knowledge is more advanced than mine! lol I am sure in 10 more years with studying and out in the field you will be Dr Cary Laforce Paleontologist :-) Wishing you all the best!!

I’m 3

The fiction part would be the narrative of millions of years, but then half of the time "some (mud) flood" has buried them.

the bible? yeah, you're right.

@@ihavenoname3014 That’s because you live in a world of sci-fi fantasy dude.

@@randomguyodst46 Only where the Bible has a say. Science is tangible. It's real and can be backed up by reality and provable hypotheses. 2000 years ago, some tool sat down and wrote their equivalent to the Harry Potter book about a magic man in the sky. Nothing in that is based on reality or fact. Only the ignorant or willfully uninformed believe it is.

@@ihavenoname3014 ……🤣

No it doesnt...I have found many many fossils....professionally removing them is difficult.

Strict laws,severe penalties up to Jail time.

Its called Global Continental Displacement and we are due soon, it is a Cyclical Event.

@@shon5314 shut up nerd. i know where you live.

not much of a racket, none of them are getting rich, the real money is private Dino hunting. I have been a private dino hunter for years. Academia is not the environment to make money

It's true, I saw a documentary called the Flintstones... 🇬🇧

Did your pastor tell you that? Because I'm sure he is qualified to talk about Geology. Not. But maybe you can answer this question by yourself: If this is a lie then how could a geological layer with a thickness of up to 3,300 ft and completely consisting of fossilized corals have formed in the past within a few thousand years? And this in the middle of Germany, thousands of miles away from tropical shallow oceans where these corals used to live? Geology can explain that, religion cannot.

Paleontologists and archeologists don't converse that much, but we do use similar methods. At a paleontological dig site we record date, time of collection, orientation of the find on the plaster cast, GPS data if we have such, and notes as to approximate location relative to certain features along with photographs. What you are seeing shown here is just a small part of the actual detail work we do as I think most viewers find the paperwork part of the operation boring. And yes the methods used for fossil extraction were heavily influenced by stonemasons, but the soft clays you see in these formations are very different structurally to the hardened limestone and hardened sandstones of sites in Germany or Utah. As such the sediment is brushed away more than chiseled out as that may damage the fossils. And at least they aren't using dynamite like in the Bone Wars.

@@DemitriVladMaximov thank you for taking the time to answer 🙏 and I 100% agree about the bone wars. That’s just terrible. 🥺

A lot of prep has to go into getting fossils to be easily seen by the amateurs. If that T rex tooth was the one he was excavating in the last few minutes of the video, it likely would have been dusty grey-beige-ecru as the steep rise he was on until it was cleaned and possibly stabilized. There was a meter long femur (?) exposed on the lower bank that he showed in situ just after that. (And I'd imagine it was deliberately exposed but not excavated so we could see the outline of it.) When he was pointing out fossils and he said " there's a bone, there's another bone," etc., he was also showing larger bits in situ. One was no more than a 8 cm brownish circular stain that was likely a cross section of a long bone.

thank you mr. Willerton.>>>I picked up on that too!

@@HollyWilliamsgaden it was only right, I don't mean to be a grammar goody two shoes but, college educated peop;e irritate me sometimes....they should go to trade school.

If it's to attempt to prove creationism, no thanks

And Thus the world of paleontology was never the same thanks to Tennessee mans cry for help on YT comments on a Canadian Paleologist video!

No such word as petrafication.

@@19DESERTFOX91 I`m in Vancouver and I think I found a very small transitional species(bird like)with mineralized soft tissue and nearly completely intact,about the size of a sparrow.Who wants to see that(asking seriously)?BC is not really known for fossils(this side of the mountains)so not only is it a rarity for fossils but a possible unknown one at that.It seems to be encased in metamorphic volcanic ash that is nearly as hard as ceramic.I know some things about this field,but I`m not a rock doc and getting this to the right people has been a challenge as a layperson.
