Boas, gostava de saber que local é essa, na minha zona aqui em torres vedras acho muitos bivalves mas nao acho muito gastropodes e gostava de ter alguns com essas dimensões porque so tenho uns de pequena escala
@zejurassicoАй бұрын
Olá o local fica perto de Pêro Pinheiro perto de umas Pedreiras abandonadas mas é preciso ter alguma atenção porque volta e meia andam por ali caçadores que não gostam muito da nossa presença. Em Torres Vedras já estive nas Termas dos Cucos e encontrei umas pequenas amonites nada de muito relevante mas sempre que me lembro tenho vontade de voltar lá e ver se não há coisas novas.

It's really been a long time since my last adventure and I've only just managed to upload this new video now. I didn't give up, I just had less time to my usual fossil hunts, I still went out, but I didn't have the chance to make any videos... Making these KZfaq videos takes a lot of time in terms of editing and figuring out how the adventure will be told, which is the part I like least, the part I like most is the discovery heheh! But yes, It's all fine with me. Thank you very much for asking about me and thank you very much for the strength and support you have given.

Or much better, What kind of field can I find fossils?
@zejurassicoАй бұрын
To have less work, the ideal is to look on the slopes of the mountains or in excavations where you can see the stratification of the rocks. It's always a good starting point, sometimes I even investigate the sides of roads when they cut the hill to make the road pass. But be careful with passing cars.

@zejurassicoАй бұрын
The best rocks to look for in fossils are sedimentary rocks, those in which we look and We can see layers as if they were layers of a cake, in theory only granitic and basaltic rocks are more difficult to have fossils in because they are of volcanic origin.

Love your episodes, and I've been following you for years. Particularly enjoy your enthusiasm for your fossils and the Portuguese countryside. As your fossils are basically chalk I'm not surprised they crumble when wet! Very difficult for you to unearth without them breaking apart, especially if you need to use any force to remove them from clay or if they have been embedded in the road. Perhaps you might have a bit more success if you used archaeology tools? I know it would probably take longer to get them out, but it might be worth it. I feel so sorry for the disappointment in your voice when any of them break! I also love the display cases you are now using.

Thank you again for the sunrise views of the local landscape,it was very beautiful! The second set of trace fossils you showed looked very much like 'mud cracks".That bed of rock possibly was deposited on a muddy sediment and the "mud cracks" were formed in the mud.The cluster of oysters were very nice !!! I noticed the beds dipping along the highway:it is ashamed you do have an associate that could use that localized structure working with the local geology and map out the same beds in another spot.Keep the enjoyable videos coming !!!👍👍👍

I'm very happy that you liked the video Always try to include parts about the places that I visit, I find them interesting and they are extremely beautiful places, at least from my point of view. I had no idea that the rock in which I thought there were fossils was actually fossilized mud. What caught my attention was the curious aspect. I had come across the same pattern several times, but I always thought it was fossils without realizing what kind or what species would they be. The best thing about that place was, the side cut in the hill next to the highway. It allowed me to discover some bivalves but it was only when I left that I noticed that there was actually a barbwire that was completely destroyed and rolled up in the middle of the brambles...

Olá. Na zona de Coimbra é mais provável de encontrares amonites. Há zonas, perto de pedreiras ( pede informações antes de andares por lá a escavar porque mesmo as desactivadas são perigosas) . Eu costumo pesquisar numa área bastante grande, mas maioritariamente na zona de Sintra e na zona de Sobral de Monte Agraço e por vezes até perto de Torres Vedras. Perto de Coimbra tens a zona de são Pedro de Moel que é bastante referida como sendo um sitio bem porreiro para encontrar fósseis. Tenho aqui algumas referencias ( embora nunca tenha ido para aí procurar fósseis) na zona de Taveiro, Casais de Vera Cruz, Liceia, ao pé do campo de futebol de Real Club de Brasfemes e em Montemor-o Velho.
