Exploring an ancient DINOSAUR aged sea-floor!
84 million years ago, the entire southern half of Alabama was once a bustling ecosystem full of marine life. Things like sharks, Mosasaurs, Plesiosaurs, and even dinosaurs could be found here. A warmer climate caused sea-levels to rise world wide, causing what's known as the Western-Interior seaway to cover much of what is now North America. Join my friend Kaleb and I as we try to uncover some of the hidden treasures left behind all those millions of years ago.

Are those echinoids like the sea biscuits they are finding at Holden Beach? Where in Alabama is this? I’m near Birmingham and would love to find some!
@AlabamaFossilFiend

They’re not quite sea biscuits, think more like sea urchins. Definitely related though. And this site is near Montgomery!
Wow, that land was once under the sea. 😅 You found the sharks' tooth but you have not find sea monster fossils yet.

Not quite yet, that’s always the goal though! Thanks for stopping by!
I found your channel trying to find something to do with the family. I live in Birmingham and have 6 kids. If you could point us in a direction to dig up, echinoids would be greatly appreciated.

These specific echinoids are Cretaceous in age. If you can familiarize yourself roughly with the geology of the state and the ages of different layers, you can find them much easier. Specifically, the “Alabama black belt” is something you’d wanna look into. Almost all sediment in the black belt is Cretaceous. Stretches all the way from the east of the state up into northeast Mississippi. The app “Rockd” is an amazing tool to research this, I would definitely recommend it.
nice teeth, and I shot you a sub

Awesome, one more PALEO channel to subscribe)) Thanks to WildKyle for that)) By the way: what period this fossils from? Cretaceous with Cenomanian-Campanian ages or Eocene with Ypresian-Priabonian ages? Just try to compare with period and fossils of my home region)

@@AlabamaFossilFiend uhh, sad for me((. So, what's a point: I'm living on south of West Siberia region and I found tons of eocene shark teeth regarding to Bartonian age (sorry if my english is bad tho). And some species I couldn't identify by my own. But I've reed Biostratigraphy of elasmobranchs and bony fishes in Claiborne group by David Ward and Jun Ebersole and I noticed that the most part of shark species are similar and identical to our local species. The problem is few of those species was never registered in our region or quantity of teeth was too low to be sure in identification. So I trying to find some help with all this staff, but was need someone from Alabama. Big excuses for this gigantic text))
