@5:33 as i don't see details, those criss crossing "corals" may actually be remnants of boroughs of some sea bed digging creature, especially if in the same planum then the sea floor. How it works: creature digs tunnels in the still soft floor (for shelter or searching food), tunnels do not collapse but get filled with different sediment which hardens a little bit more then the floor sediment. Excrements may also change the local sediment chemistry. After erosion the former voids appear a big trace fossils. You should cut on of those and polish the cut. If a pattern appears its coral, if not its filled borough. Please note that indeed some are corals, especially those thicker elongated stems. Cut one and polish the cut surface, there shall be a recognizable pattern.

Since I’m disabled, I love going on these virtual walks. I would love to see you take a class on what these specimens really are that you are calling coral and teeth. Usually burrow casts, trace fossils and root. Maybe you are just nicknaming the shapes, but people will think what they find in future are what you are calling it now! You have the platform to be an educator! Make the most of it!

I have to wholeheartedly agree.

It would be amazing to see the cleaning process too

you got me, lol...had to get more diamond gravel from you for the grandkids to explore ! Thanks so much for your work ! ♡♡♡♡

🥰 I finally got to watch a live-stream at the creek and then it went bad.....so glad you kept recording and shared the rest of the day with us. Awesome finds. I wonder if you couldn't fiberglass the kayak to repair it since it really doesn't get beat up much on that creek. If that guy from Flex Seal can float a screen door boat I bet you can get your kayak floating again.

just love watching you find all these wonderful fossils! alot of what you are calling plants may actually be bones....

I’m ready to jump in the car and drive across Texas to help! Unbelievable pieces! 😳

There some beautiful fossils. Hopefully you guys get some rain soon 🙏🙏 take care and thank you for sharing 👍👏😍

Love the safety meetings Ivan! Hello from Tulsa, Oklahoma

Hi so glad to see you . be cartful in that heat.hope you can get another kayak.wishing you best of luck!!!

Absolutely fascinating. I didn’t know this could be found just laying around in a creek bed.

Thanks for another ammonite creek adventure what was that on that rock at the end? To hard to see on my phone… thanks for sharing see you on the next one👍🏼👊🏼

You're doing awsome, just breath, one breath at a time, one step at a time, one day at a time. You got this ❤

Each one of those pieces are absolutely beautiful. I live in Washington State and I am surrounded by some amazing gem stones, precious and semiprecious. Amazing fossils and many petrified things including coral, but not in the form that you are finding them in. Hoping to do some rock hounding next time I visit family down in Texas. First time seeing your channel and I’m already hooked. Thank You for the adventure. 😊🙏

Nice little haul you got there. Can’t beat those coral pieces. They are absolutely incredible!

I found your channel through the KZread algorithm and I’ve been having a blast watching your videos and seeing find all those really cool fossils. Keep up the great work man and I really enjoy your videos!!

Dang buddy your killing it great channel growth I enjoyed the hunt lets pray 🙏 for rain we sure are dry

Brother, looks like you are kicking dinosaur bones, including an articulated leg? Those can be lighter than the matrix and can be worth a hell of a lot more than ammonites. And they would be dinosaurs or plesiosaurs or mosasaurs in the same pre-extinction Cretaceous layers as the ammonites, from the same inland sea area.

I would love to have a little piece of that Coral. Great finds!🙂🙂🙂

Awesome video, keep ‘em coming

Every time I watch you videos, I get t urge to go searching.

Thanks for sharing with our group!

Those are amazing pieces! If you hadn't shown me , I would have walked right by and not even known what they were! Thanks

This is fantastic, can't wait see tooth cleaned up.!!!!!!!!!!!

It's crazy how many bones there are in that river bed. Just imagining all the dinosaurs or ice age animals that had died in it goes to show how deadly it was millions of years ago.

My best guess for the boot looking fossils and cylinder shape ones would be that they are leg bones or ribs. The boot looking one itself I'd say it's leg joint.

Another great day. Stay safe!

We r coming to dig for diamonds and crystals this week! Everyone is excited. I've been on ocd mode on your channel in preparation. Thanks for the tips!

Hello Brother, Thank You for your service work... These were some awesome finds... Saving them from destruction is always a plus... I always thumbs up rarely comment... From your page I've watched many back to back... I think you are doing this community great justice...

Very nice-looking coral. Thanks for sharing.

Anyone else saw the big ammonite at 17;25......looks dusted with red clay, hiding in the shrubbery and quite embedded.....thanks for sharing the hunts

Wow! Nice Adventure, thanks !

I could see some value as decorative pieces at expensive homes . Pools , walls , fire places and more ! :O)

Some very nice finds. Stay safe & cool 🍥🐭👍

I hear safety meetings cause forgetfulness...lol

Great finds! Thanks for sharing.

Very cool! I live in central Texas and wondering if Ammonite Creek has public access points. It's my understanding you have access through a private contact. You are pretty brave challenging the Texas heat! Thanks for all the great videos.

Beautiful pieces…..brown Diamond 💍a girls best friend, I am a grey G.Grandmother and still Love diamonds never got one at engagement or wedding then there is the one my Pop gave me well it got stolen…you have so wonderful specimens

Beautiful!

Awesome finds today!

You should try putting some big tough mountain bike tires on your wagon Like 30". They have to extend out some more so they run along side the wagon so you retain a low center of gravity.

Thanks!

Never heard of Ammonite creek but I did hear you could find ammonite in spring creek.

That whole place is a treasure trove of fossils! This was a fun trip. Good luck to you sir.

Awesome video!!! Keep up the great work

I've always wanted to find ammonites. Thanks for the videos and keep it up!✌️

I’m a new subbie. You made some great finds!! That creek bed is a real treasure trove!

You have too much fun. Keep it up!

Very nice fossils👍😊💜

Just came upon your channel. So glad I did. You are very interesting. I’m a fossil lover as is my grandson. I could not believe all the ammonites you found! So glad you left the snake alone. I can’t wait for the next video. Is the Arkansas diamond giveaway still on?

Really nice pieces!

BADASSERY BRO!!!

Would love to go find bits like that cracking finds brother that tooth sweet

Awesome awesome awesome!

wow they r amazing love them..

Awesome video. Those fossils are huge.

Great stuff. Hope you teach your goal!

I’m from central Texas, saw this stuff all my life and never thought twice about. I did find a lot of arrowheads though

Makes me want to explore Texas!

Wow you found some beautiful stuff. I like looking for different things like that. Especially the tooth and others that look like bones. Awesome job.

I enjoy watching your videos. We pass through Saint Jo going to visit family in Bowie. We plan on going to Sulphur River to search for fossils soon. Thanks for the video.

very amazing stuff I love those corals very detailed awesome 👍😎👍🪨

Just wow!

Your merch should say “Oh wow a taco! Or Oh wow an ammonite!!

Let's go fossil hunting!

Great video wish I could visit there I definitely would be out there having a good look

amazing finds

Those would be rad in my aquarium or any aquarium. Looks like fun , keep up the great videos.👍

Just found your channel . Great finds!

Very nice finds

Nice finds! Would love to have that ammonite and see that creek! keep hunting

Nice pieces!

Take care in that heat! That coral really fascinates me. I hope you get rain soon. Maybe one day I’ll win one of your giveaways.

Another great adventure with cool finds! maybe in the fall you could do a stealth overnight camp on Ammonite Creek, I bet all sorts of stuff happens at night and your UV light could be cool in the dark. I usually spot scorpions with my UV light, and some tree lichen glows cool trippy colors at night. Whatever you do, please keep the adventures coming!

Cool fossils!

loved the vid

Aren't you worried that the wagon bumping along the rocks, as you pull it, would damage some of the fossils? Or are the stones quite solid and aren't as easy to break? Awesome video as always!

Very cool corals

Nice finds

Nice coral!

Just found you channel.... GREAT! Those ammonites are AMAZING... my 4 year old grandson would love one.... I'm just saying... LOL Love the videos..

I'd like to prep out any of those medium size ones to see what's hidden inside that limestone....looks like fun

Absolutely awesome finds. As a new collector of my own finds, can you tell me how far North into Oklahoma you have found ammonites? I am especially interested in the Ft Gibson and Muskogee area. I am Southeast of that area a little ways, but I am willing to travel a little bit. Again, thanks for sharing your videos and tips so all of us have a better chance at finding our own fossils. Stay safe out there.

Cool video!

At 5:45 based on what I can see, these are not coral, but are in fact trace fossils; thalassinoides, which are burrows. They (the trace fossils) protrude down from the top bed into the lower bed, and the lower bed has been eroded away which was finer grained.

Dang good hunt

Fun to watch you and learn about the f ifferent f oration. Have you ever found an opalized ammonite?

Another big one

I'm ready. Just tell me where to meet you!

Keep up the good work bud fingers crossed Texas gets rain

That tooth is huge Its fantastic. 👍😯👍

This video almost makes me want to brave the heat and go out there hunting. A few things stop me-my age, the blistering heat, $ to go and then there’s the potential of encountering a danger noodle. (Snakes) I have a full phobia. So, I guess I will continue to enjoy the videos. Be careful out there!

I love the tooth! wow

great content ! like your channel !! : -)
