Heavy rain, flooding and some awesome fossil finds including a potential jaw section

As I drove to the fossil location, the rain started getting pretty heavy and some parts of State Highway 1 were flooded. Luckily the beach was quite sheltered but I made sure to stay away from the cliffs as they get very unstable once they are saturated like this.

Can’t wait to see these prepped! There aren’t many people on KZfaq who film fossil prep Timelapse videos, so thank you for sharing it with us

My pleasure! I think because it takes so much time to do the video in addition to doing the prep

Seid ca 3 wochen schaue ich mir deine videos an und bin begeistert! Ich bin begeistert, wie toll du alles zeigst und erklärst! 👍 Vielen dank, dass du das mit uns teilst! Ich geh gerne mit dem hund am Inn (ein fluss durch Tirol) am schotterbank spazieren und bin schon happy, da einfache (für mich) schöne steine zu finden 😂...obwohl ich mich manchmal abfrage, da es ja auch um geschiebe gestein handelt, ob das auch fossilien enthalten kann! Nun muss ich selber lachen 🤭, denn wenn du die steinen um dich herum filmst, sehe ich auch da tolle gelöcherte steinen und denke "nimm sie mit, nimm sie mit"!! 😂😂 Liebe grüsse aus Tirol.

0:41 dry them well before storage and shove a pack of reusable desiccant for good measure. Both of the big finds are amazing, bummer you weren't there for the crab to get the other claw as well, but still, it's a stunning specimen. Super curious about the jaw. The other bone parts kinds threw me around, before you showed the picture. Nice hunt!

Very cool. At this point in the video kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jZ-Hmqhk3NXDhYE.html to the left of the bone concretion is a tear drop concretion. Turtle skull like in shape with a dark spot on the back. Just because it looks skull like (I've seen similar shaped skull concretions where the 'nose' pokes out and creates a tear drop look) and I'm always looking for the fossil beside the fossil in your videos! I'd have probably hit the tip off just to see if anything inside.
