Oh my! Full length episode is it? Here's to a perfect way to relax on Sunday evening! Thank you very much!

No wonder the Jurassic coast is a world heritage site, it’s so beautiful geologically and scenic wise!

Having studied first Archaeology, then Biomolecular archaeology with a focus on Pleistocene fauna, this video reminds me of a much simpler time in my life. Thank you.

Absolutely made my whole day guys! Looks like so much fun! Wish I could be out there not stuck in the snow rn- have fun everyone!!

This was outstanding content! I am so jealous of your hunting grounds!

So many cool finds! Always nice to see passionate experts in their element!

i love this kind of video, more of these in the future would be very cool B)

When I was kid, my grandmother told me about the coasts where marine fossils were found. That piqued my interest in paleontology. As soon as the snow began to fall in your video (at 27:16) snow started falling where I am in the States. I love coincidences. Ha! I would love to join you folks for a fossil hunting outing. I found this video to be most instructive. Many thanks, Ben G. Thomas and company.

This reminded me of the time I went fossil hunting with the family as a kid. I think it was Solnhofen, but I'm not sure. I just remember that even though we were by no means qualified in any shape or form, we still found some nice stuff.

Great video, and some fantastic finds!

Great stuff to watch, I feel like on a trip.with friends.

Ben has a conplete hard on for icthyosaurs, cant say I blame him

Man, Duria Antiquior is everywhere. Good job, Henry De la Beche!

Now this is what signed for!!!

Ben, you are one of the best, if not THE best!

Need more long format videos. Big fan

I genuinely thought at first that he was saying that it was a "prawn" instead of a 'prom." All y'all need to come across the Pond to go fossil hunting at Calvert Cliffs, Calvert County, Maryland. We specialize in shark teeth, including megalodon teeth.

Sorry if this was already explained: Is there any special significance to pyrite being in the fossil or the matrix? I heard it was present a number of times in your finds. Looks like a wonderful hunt. Thanks for posting it.

This was a fantastic watch! You guys really inspire me :D

I miss being able to go in my parents' backyard in central Texas, and looking for fossil shells and stuff like that. Was the mid-to-late 2000s.

Great video. Thank you for sharing your adventures.

Amazing video and finds! I'm envious, definitely have to visit the place someday.

Hamza's a star!

such a cool video, always love when you take us on your adventures

Homegirl with her nails poppin while out hunting fossils is so badass hahaha

Wonderful video, loved where you were staying...❤

A video of time lapse prep work of your fossils would be sweet!

Super cool video!!! I know it would be more in line with the South African trip, but I’d love to see and episode like this where y’all head out to the states!!! The western interior seaway has a lot of interesting wildlife!

I really enjoy these long form vlogy videos it's just nice to see the people who entertain and educated me

Motivating to see your hard work lead to this💟

Lost your channel for awhile. Found again. Love your videos dude 👍

The Jurassic Coast is on my bucket list, and now I hope I can hang on long enough to get there, amazing!

A really nice spot for fossil hunting. Been there a couple of years ago. I like to see the joy of the group.

I love watching your while drawing! It is and interesting and calming to listen to, I can't focus without a video playing in the background while drawing so your chanel is always my go to :)

Really enjoyable watch .

Great video guys

That was charming! A field trip with a rowdy (?) bunch of college students, just like old times! What happened to the coprolite? 190 million year old poop!!! Amazing.

this looks like such a lovely trip

I love this, the first 5 minutes feel like the beginning of a found footage film :D

For what it's worth, if you need to tight up the head of a hammer (rake, pitch fork, etc. )..... hold the handle with the head up in the air, then you strike the butt of the handle on a hard surface with a couple firm blows. The inertia of the head will drive it firmly onto the handle. BTW get the man a decent hammer with a wooden handle 🙂

Reminds me of a school field trip long ago, when we were walking the beach along a mudstone stretch, called Osmington Mills, I think. It was a windy day, early in the year like in this piece, and we could hear frequently distinct tinging sounds as belemnites were released from the silt/mudstones and rolled down the cliffs onto the beach. I probably still have a box of them somewhere. If you had gone further west to cliffs around Southerndown in Wales, the wave cut layers of limestone go a long way out from the cliffs, and many of the rock pools are actually the ammonites. As a child visiting in summer with my parents, I upset some of the holiday sunbathers with my vain attempts to get too big fossils out with too small hammer and chisel, but I think their radios were much worse! :)

Looks awesome

This Bonehead episode, rocks!

Commenting for the algorithm This is a joy to find in my subscriptions box

Very cool video

How fun! You are definitely in fossil geek heaven!! hahaha

Big BGT coming through with the feature length Jurassic Ocean documentary. Nice.

please show the prep room and some prep work. that would be so interesting.

As you can see this rockfall here you have to be very careful on the jurassic coast. We're just going to stay far away from it. Me: THERE COULD BE FOSSILS IN THERE! Maybe death under 6tons of jurassic aged strata, but also... FOSSILS!

35:58 Cracking up a cold one with the boys.

Thank you. That was so much fun! From the moment that You said, Victorian, the atmosphere of Your trip arose in my mind like the sweet aroma of an enormous bouquet of lilacs. In my wildest dreams i never dreamt i'd take such a trip! VR !:-)

You kids are great, born teachers too!

Gotta love them jurassic teapots.

Good stuff, boys and girls ! Marvellous place, I was lucky enough to live there a while back - absolutely loved it ! Next time, don't bang the hammer head-down. Bang the handle on the ground, head-upwards.

Good vid and nice finds! Poor Hamzah. It's never fun when your hammer breaks. Same thing happened to me during my undergrad Field Camp trip to Black Hills, South Dakota back in 2016. Had to stop at a nearby gas station and duct tape it back together. XD

Jurassic Oceans: *It's A Hard Knock Life For Us Edition*

oh how you make me happy finding this video on my 5am shift

I grew up in a town with some locally found ammonites on display in the town centre that are 4ft in diameter. Sadly, they got moved to make way for a new town hall, and have been stored somewhere where the public can no longer see them :s

I hope someone will be excited to find my bones in a few million years 🥺 These amonites and fish bones are pretty and cool.

Very cool! But how about some safety goggles when you're smashing rocks with your hammer?

I know it's quite a trip but any plans/interest to go fossil hunting in the lower jurassic black shale of SW germany (Holzmaden, Ohmden)? There is also a non-zero chance of finding an Ichthyosaur :P Although the ammonites here are a lot flatter. But quite numerous!

Soak the whole hammer with the handle on in a few inches of linseed oil for a week or two. A bag uses much less than a container. There's wedges and whatnot, but ones you make from hardwood will be better than what is sold if you want to go that route.

We only get round crinoid columns here. I would love some star ones.

Welcome to Jurassic ocean! (Jurassic Park theme plays)

The whole cliff seems it’s made of ammonites, even a blind man could find a fossil there you cannot miss.it’s a fantastic location,rare in the world to find a site so fossil rich✌️❤️🇬🇧

My plan was to watch this while eating dinner. Halfway through, I realize I was so engrossed that I hadn't even touched my dinner.

The eye of a paleontologist is fascinating!

my drunken arse hears, 120 pounds for a train damn that's 208 in dollaroos down in the bush mate hahahaah. fantastic vid. love your work

Where is doug??

music at the beginning sounded like LOTR 😂

Mold and cast.

So what happened to the South African trip? Are those videos finished?

Jurassic SeaWorld

I wish I could go hunting with ya'll.

Fantastically British hammer

Just an American here to clarify that that appears to be an Edwardian interior. 🤣

And that's why a palaeontologist's hammer should be made out of one piece of steel, not with a separate head and shaft... 🙄

39:59 POV you are an iraqi woman & get convicted of committing adultery

🪨🫀🦖🫀🪨

''asteroid hits the Earth'' British dinosaurs: ói mate, that's a bit rude, innet?

Great video, some fun fossil finds with a group of like minded folks. They're the best. You folks need some lessons about safety when working on rocks. Take advice from an old rock hound, you only get one set of eyes. Wear eye protection when using a rock hammer and especially when using a chisel.

as someone who also studied geology: FOR THE LOVE OF GOD! please get a real rock hammer a good one is like 50 pounds and they are one solid piece. no flying hammerheads, nothing (I see an Estwing later on, good choice)

Great content spoilt by the camera swinging around so much. Was it mounted on your head? Keep the camera steady and concentrate on 20 to 30 seconds per take before moving the camera angle again. I really like your videos.

Not gonna lie, I find the Blair Witch style of filming detracts from the video, though I love most of your stuff.

24 min since this video was posted and I'm the first person to dislike it! Great content tho, keep it up

Who's the camera girl! She's beautiful, why is she BEHIND the camera? More on screen please, make Chef work the camera and give her a mic! ;)) Great video though.....except the obvious

0:47 Nothing like alienating the “plant eater” because meat eaters know their shame.

You geeks actually got a girl?? Really??? How???

The Burgess Shales in BC Canada is 1 million times better! I've spent years there with my students on digs.. PhD Vertebrate Paleontologist Univ of Chicago/ UC Berkeley The heck with the fossils, who's the relly cute blonde girl sleeping with? Always looking for cute Lab Interns ;-) Fun video to watch!
