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.

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.

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!

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.👌👍💥

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.

Nice! The fractal vice looks a very interesting idea for holding odd shapes, before sawing them or hitting them with a hammer. Possibly a very useful lab accessory
