Thanks Em, to you and Kevin, for sharing the excitement of ammonite hunting. I feel like you invited us to watch you open Christmas presents! Looking forward to the next instalment...

What a fun video. Shows how exciting and nerve wracking fossil hunting can be. I live in the Great Lakes regionof the US and there are places nearby where we find triolobites, ammonites, corals, braciopods, crynoids, and if your very very lucky euripterids. If I'm right the deposits we explore a bit older than what you're finding on the English coast Paleozoic vs Mesozoic. I dabble in paleontology but am more interested in Anthropology/Archaeology.

Great video, Em; very informative and such a beautiful locality to crack open a few ammonites! 😊💯

Looks like great fun. Great video.

oh my gosh your videos are amazing. totally hooked on fossils now :) thankyou so much :)

Worth the wait. Great finds.

Excellent guide. Interesting 👍👍👍. Another video again.

So stressful watching fossils being opened!will it shatter, will the hammer hit a finger instead of the chisel?😄

That first big rock the professor cracked open I would of left whole. What a cool piece with algae fossils and ammonites showing.

Another great video I do learn alot from you well done and keep up the good work.

Excellent em ta vidéo j'adore 😊😊

Nice to see people taking care over what theyre doing, so many channels lay into these concretions with a lump hammer and almost always destroy the fossil, You took time over what you are doing and I appreciate that, cool stuff and far more interesting too.

thanks for sharing you always have something interesting to show thank you

Fossil hunting fantastic Great channel.

Great video!!

Great fossils! What beach are you at?

Interesting video. Thank you for sharing.

Em: Here’s a fun experiment to try. Apparently it can be quite successful on concretions. The concept involves alternately freezing and thawing the concretion. Put the concretions in a container of water and allow them to soak for several days so the water thoroughly penetrates the concretion. Then, place the container of concretions in a freezer. When the water has completely frozen, remove the container from the freezer and allow the water to thaw completely. Repeat this freeze-thaw cycle as many times as necessary. Periodically, after thawing, check for any concretions that may have opened and remove them. I may not have the patience to do this and, alas, resort to the old whacking method!

Awesome😮😮❤❤

Last one was a perfect split

Hey em i have a question was the beach you went to was white point beach?

I love you, I love the passion with which you do things, you are a great woman!!

Beautiful Harpoceras fossils. :)

Hello 👋🏻 Thank you for your Amazing videos and Interesting information in it ) 🙂🙂🤓

Thank you 🙏

U have there a area with ceratites?

Interesting. I never saw this before. I have some polished Ammonites at home that are in spectacular condition.

Where did you find them. Were you on the isle of white

Hungary has got large amount of Ammonitico Rosso limestone in the mountains and old buildings' covering stoneslabs. Some of stoneslabs contains lots of ammonites.

Cheers Em,just 'discovered' your channel,pardon the pun,we've been fossiling between seatown and lyme regis for years and have found some incredible fossils,we mainly concentrate on iron pyrite ammonites,it's an incredible feeling when you find fools gold fossils,we've got a week booked in April in charmouth for intense pyrite fossiling,can't wait.👌👍💥

Hello from France🎬🔬🙏🍀😉

Saw this here fractal vice for safely holding odd-shaped objects and thought it might be a good concept for controllable rock cracking. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m6mWqpyXyZbReJs.html Might need a bit of a redesign to make into a field tool, but not too bad for use in a lab / workshop / home utility room, wherever fossils are prepped.

Hi Emma. You and the good doctor keep talking about the location but without saying where it is, other than the hashtag reference to Jurassic Coast. Can I ask where it is, please?

You should wear the black dress with POCKETS to carry your fossils!!! hahahaha

Where was your specific location?

Amitites teach us the ocean

Hi Em 😊 do you find any evidence of ichthyosaur or plesiosaur's around your hunting grounds?

Thank you for sharing. When you bust them open you are the first human to see how this creature ended up.

Nice top

Is there any more fosllies left in Dorset :-) seem like so many amazing one that have been found :-)

Great. But very hard to get the fossils out of the rocks.

I so wish I could find these things I only have a tiny one I found at work but I’d love something to put on display in my home Also honestly I wouldn’t super glue I’d keep them separate it’s almost a part of the story to them

Hi i have stone so i feel like ther's something inside because my grandpa left me this stone so how can i send you

wish I were close to such beach and beautiful Emma

Dorset Junction Bed in Thorncombe Beacon?

So 😍

reminds me of an old 60's song by bobby fuller four whose lyrics include...."breakin rocks in the hot sun"....

Beautiful young woman wielding a rock hammer, what dreams are made of.

Why the hell is every person who finds a ammonite at the beach a British person 💀

remember to save some for the future generations 🙏

The entire time the two of you are hammering and chiseling I’m cringing and thinking, gloves would be a good idea 😱. Glad all the fingers survived 😆👍!

Hi,

Nice cleaving.

ফসিলগুলো কোন প্রাণীর যদি লিখে দেন তাহলে বুঝতে পারবো।

🪐😯❤️🇲🇦🙏🏻👍🏼

can you send some to agate dad,? utube please

Hey I am from india Can i get one,please

That old guys the worst fossil splitter I've ever seen...

Who cares most likely 300 billion lying around.
