The first fossil you found was a horn coral from the Devonian Period around 350-400 years old. They are my favorite fossil to find, each horn coral has it own personality. I love your honesty about only taking one. I can understand the "no digging" but taking only one would be torture for me LOL!!!

Hi Bill, yes, it is a wonderful place to explore for the day or for a family outing.

I live in the city and there are not very many fossils, I recently found a nice shell one by Humber river , so cool to see !

I'm 5 mins from rock glen in Thedford, we live on the highest area that's shale rock and the fossils are incredible, There everywhere you look, The tile yard is behind our property, fossil hunters from the US used to search here

Yes, I was amazed at how many there are in that area!

Cool

i found some really cool fossils looks like scales and very well preserved. can anyone help explaining how do i go about identifying it? I also found a large quarts and was wondering how common it is to find in ontario? i couldn't believe no one else saw these.

In about 1976, my 5th grade class went to Rock Glen on a field trip. I have a vivid memory of being next to a lake with lots of shale all around at the waters edge. Possible we hit another site on that same trip, but I don't remember. Do you know where that might have been?

Hi Rick, thanks for watching. From this site it is only a 20 minute drive to The Pinery Provincial Park, as well as another conservation area. They are both on the shore of Lake Huron, and they both have a lot of trails along the shoreline which is primarily shale. That might have been it, there are no other inland lakes nearby.

That is true! There are several quarries in that area, and some of them are quite large! Great point!

@@train2noplace1 it's hard to say where is was. I remember a large lake. I couldn't tell you if it was Lake Huron, or something smaller, as the memory is very faded. I do remember walking all over shale at the waters edge though.

At Blue Mountain area, on Barrie ON. there is a lot Ammonite fossils. Those are the black one.

No way I'm driving 3+hrs for 1 take home. But cool video.

Um,,, you don’t know anything about fossils, huh? The fist one was a horn coral, not a shell, the the next was a brachiopod, not a clam ,,,, this is rookie stuff here,,,
