We Explored an Alligator Infested Florida Swamp and Found TONS of Shark Teeth | Fossil Hunting
Рет қаралды 72,429
We are FINALLY back to exploring the swamps, creeks and rivers of Florida for all sorts of prehistoric fossils! On this adventure, we hunted a Miocene age marine exposure loaded with juvenile megalodon shark teeth, whale fossils, dugong fossils and more. We also managed to find some cool mushrooms, saw some wildlife and even found a huge snapping turtle skull. It was a very fun and successful trip for the few hours we were able to be out for. We'll be returning to this location for a very long and exhausting full day of hunting as soon as we can!

Love the fossils of course, but that Snapping turtle carcass was the best find for sure! It’s an incredible and rare species to find, but the carcasses are also giving us a neat peak into the same taphonomic processes that some of the fossils we find go through. I think that’s really cool!

Who would have thought! I just started watching as many videos as I can find on you awesome people. I watch your videos and Wildkyle. I was sitting there thinking the other day I would love to meet you all. I live in southern Michigan. One day I was checking out at one of our local small town stores when who walks in? Wildkyle! I was blown away. We talked for about ten minutes. He is a awesome nice guy. It would be cool to meet you two also. I love your videos and you enthusiasm for all nature.

There is this stuff to keep water out of your ears it called moldable silicone ear putty. You take a chunk and push into your ear canal to mold it to the shape and it seals it off so no water get in there, my niece had to use some when she had surgery on her ear!

You are probably absolutely correct. It's incredible the way fungi interact with plants (and animals) and how much of an important and underrated role they play in the ecosystem. I'll definitely be doing a lot more videos about mushrooms in the future (both foraging them and growing edible types). Thanks for watching the vid!
