I LOVE the state of Michigan! Beautiful water, pristine beaches and forests, wildlife and plenty of amazing things to find! We decided to go walk a beach to hunt for petoskey stones, but also ventured out into the shallow waters to bring some FL hunting techniques to Michigan. It was an incredible success and turned out to be my favorite time fossil hunting in the state so far!

Great video as always. I'd love to see a series of, "Bri & Cris Tour The States". You two just doing what you do all over the U.S.A. Fishing, foraging, diving, rockhounding, fossil hunting and having fun.

@largent45 Жыл бұрын

Of course we want to see you do more snorkeling! Why wouldnt we? That was so coop and those perfect little shells you found were so awesome! They need to make a uv flashlight that works underwater! That would be awesome! That was a lot of fun! Some really nice petoskey stones you found out there. They will look amazing once you polish them. Thanks for sharing your hunt.

Yes! Please do more in Michigan! We are from Grand Rapids/Wyoming area and my kiddos love to see what you find. It’s amazing to see some of the fossils, we never knew what they were and from how long ago. It’s truly amazing!! Thank you (If your in our area of Wyoming MI, stop in for some great homemade Italian food at our restaurant Russo’s Pizza. We would love to see you!!)

Really awesome intro! Just beautiful! So much diversity of the flora and fauna. So excited for you guys with all your awesome finds. Definitely living through your eyes. There is no way in he** I would have the guts to explore like you guys do! "That's a huge alligator slide!" Me...nope, no way, pretty sure they can swim faster than I can and faster than I could ever paddle a canoe low to the water. Props to your courage and and wanderlust in your acquisition of really cool fossils. I'm more of a Smithsonian Museum of Natural History gal 😁

I currently live in Minnesota but I go home to Michigan once a year. It is beautiful in Michigan and the lakes are fantastic I get home sick all the time. I am trying to teach my 10 year old nephew rock hunting and he loves it, we did some hunting in Michigan in June this year he lives in Vermont and I live in Minnesota so the family gets together in Michigan every year. And we go to many beaches rock hunting..

The tiny "gastropods" on the solitary rugose coral are species of Spirorbis (polychaete worms). I find them as epibionts on Devonian fossils here in New York. Happy Collecting

Wow, I had no idea! Thanks for the correction. That’s one of the coolest thing about fossils and paleontology. You’re always learning new things..and I’m about as new to Devonian fossils as you can get…though I plan to keep learning more. Thanks again!

@@PaleoCris no problem. I've been collecting (fossils, minerals, shells, skulls, artifacts) for over 40 years and I'm still learning new things all the time. Thats why natural history is so fun. Good luck.

Loved the video! My family lives in Grand Rapids and we do tons of rock hounding on Lake Michigan. What beach were you at to find all of those Petoskey stones? Also we do tons of UV hunting for yooperlites and other fluorescent minerals. The purple/blue mineral you found is one of our favorites to find. It is a variety of feldspar that was brought down from Canada by glaciers. It is literally all over the state of Michigan and can range in color from purple to blue to creamy white and peach even. Great stuff! Thanks for the awesome video and we hope to see you on a Michigan beach someday!
