We Found an EXTINCT Ground Sloth CLAW in the River While Fossil Hunting in Florida!
Спорт
This was a great time out on the river with my buddy Justin! We did some scuba diving for Pleistocene aged vertebrate fossils and scored some great new pieces for our collections including a killer horse jaw with a tooth, huge tapir tooth with roots, Justin's first ever sloth claw, a giant beaver incisor, and much more!
These type of fossils are my absolute favorite to hunt for just because of the sheer variety of fossils you can find from a huge array of mind-blowing prehistoric animals. Armadillos the size of cars, beavers larger than people, mammoths, dire wolves, saber cats, huge ground sloths, etc. The sheer possibilities of what can be unearthed is incredible, and it makes every hunt a journey back in time.

We are soooooooo envious. You make everything you are doing look sooooo fun and exciting. We love all the videos. You have made winter in Michigan much more bearable. Keep up the good work. We are looking forward to your next adventure. Sincerely, The Johnson family from Rockford MI.
I am 11 and I sooooooo badly want to be a palaeontologist cuz its like the coolest thing in the world for me! Your cool and I love this content!
So thrilled to have this video pop up today. I am truly amazed at these discoveries and your knowledge of every piece. Thank you for the video.
Half way through I found myself going, oh yes that’s that, and that’s that, and some of them were correct, super proud of myself 😅
✨ Awesome video and excellent finds. That’s a lot of fossils!

COOL STUFF ALSO LOVE THAT YOU REMOVE TRASH FROM THE RIVER!!! THANKS
Great video and I would strongly suggest to anyone that hasn't seen images and size comparisons of the ground sloth to check it out as it was really one of the megafauna.
I'm so jealous. That is one of the coolest things you could have on display. I need to find one of those.
Fossils of such high quality only come from catastrophic events
Love all of your videos!!!!
Very Cool And Interesting Hobby! Thanks For posting. Thanks Brother, Have Fun and be Safe.
Hey Cris you always welcome to fossil hunt at my Park. Alderman’s Ford Park on the Alafia River.
Always love @paleocris and wild Kyle videos !! You guys are the real deal and so knowledgeable. 👊🏽🤘🏽🦈🐋🐪🐎🦥🐾

Awesome trip! Loved this video! 💚
Huge fan of Justin! He never shows himself in videos so this is cool to watch
Awesome video I feel like I am diving with you !
Awesome finds!! Makes me want to go scuba diving again!!
That's absolutely awesome!!!
Wow oh wow what great finds.
Loved watching Thank you Awesome way to discover fosils
The claw is amaizing
So many different creatures in one area! Fantastic finds!! I liked that you could search underwater and walk around and find stuff. All those mushrooms!! And that one mushroom in the middle, he looked like a really fungi...hahahhhahahahha! Sorry I couldn’t stop myself 😋
I like the scuba videos not only for the fossils but the fish friends are always fun

Hi Fellow youtuber ... Love you're vlogs. Exstreamely entertaining and educational. Showing my vlogers some much deserved love all the way from South Africa 🇿🇦. Keep them comming mate
Your knowledge is amazing.... Great channel, a new subscriber from the UK 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Enjoyed your dive...the claws and different molars...especially the horse molar was incredible...so interesting....still favor the large shark teeth ✌
Very cool finds
20 years ago I went on a quite expensive north sea fossil trawler adventure the goal of the trawler wasn't to catch fish or prawn but to have an extra strong trawler net dig deep into the sea-bottom soil and scoop up the past because it takes quite a number of personnel to operate this whole shebang the number of paleo tourists was low and the price was high the bonus, however, was that each one of us got to search a scoop on our own and that could be a ton of material once the fishermen dealt with the catch and my top find was a sabertooth cat's sabertooth! that and a part neanderthal jawbone piece most were chunks of mammoth bone and other unidentifiable stuff one guy even had half a roman tombstone in his catch another guy had the top find a wagon wheel size ammonite fossil! a trip like this was a 1000 dollars or so for 5 days with 5 people getting multiple turns at the nets content not cheap but a good find like the wagon wheel ammonite that's a $10.000 find and sabertooth cat teeth you are in the ballpark of 2000 at least and a part of a neanderthal human I simply don't know they are too rare to price.
Good finding man and I also want one pls
Beautiful video my friend
Yo! Chris! I am also a diver! I collect fossils and minerals! Id love to join up with you man!! I do some Peace river hunting! And i dive the boneyard often!!! Gimme a shout!!!!

Oh man, you guys are so lucky to live in a such place where this is possible! If there was a chance for me to go outdoors and be in touch like that with the possibility to find truly pieces of our planets faunas evolution, it would so awesome! But atleast I can enjoy these adventures from your vids. Huge thank you for that. Kudos from Finland :)
Another great video !
Nice new my friend👌
You know Chris I'm surprised nobody has gone out there with some sort of mechanism to dredge up everything out there I pray they never do but I am totally surprised that hasn't happened because there's a lot of cool stuff down there anyways I love watching you guys fossil hunt for any kind of fossil I'd really love it please take care stay safe and God bless can't wait to see the next
Dear Chris, i am a 11 year old boy who wants to be just like you! I have a big question what classes did you take in college or how did you learn so much about fossils! Love you keep it up find a bear tooth for me! Thank you for your time
Cris: ( just looking through the gravel ) Fish: HEY! wassup? Whacha doing in my river hooman? Can I join!?
Good ol river beer is good unless it's out of date hahaha
Almost at 100k!
I love this❤
As someone who keep fish, including pea puffers, I really liked the puffer plate. I love the diversity of all the different animals, but I have a feeling you can soon start making a living by making horse dentures... ;) Also, those curious fish were hilarious! Like "Who the heck are you!? Fight me! Wait, no, bye!" ;)

Neat. I gotta get down to your neck of the woods some day and see what kind of goodies I can find. I need me some shark teeth.

Fascinating to think that everything you're being up is 10,000+ years old.
Hey Chris, may I ask what tips would you give to a new person to learn how to identify all these different animal parts? If you could make a tutorial video how you learn it would be great! Love your videos. :)
Not only would i drink a river beer. I have more than once. I found a beer under a bush that was 25 years old. Skunky but good. it was a strohs.

I used to live in a cove on a lake in central Texas. You'd be surprised how often I'd pull up partial sixers - not all of it was fresh. I drank that beer and I'm not even ashamed! I've had a couple river beers too. LOL. And we lived!
I like the mammoth vert best myself
You are so knowledgeable when it comes to ancient bones and teeth and things like that how do you not know that raccoons do not wash their food they use water because they have no saliva glands I hear it said wrong so many times by so many people you should look that one up bro
Yooo i think you put that beaver tooth in a paleo pack because I found one in mine the other day and compared it and it’s exact, that’s sooo cool man
I wish I had your eyes, I do this here in Ireland with my son but Im no way near as good at it as you. Love the videos.

This literally is my natural habitat. I grew up right here where this vid was made. About the wasps, there’s some in this area many times larger than this one too. I’ve seen kayakers get destroyed by then when the current pushes then under a low hanging tree limb.
I drank a river beer once ,it kicked my ass
I fossil hunted at a land site at that kinda layer and found so many deer teeth as well as some hemis and makos!

Very nice, I love Pleistocene exposures. They’re my personal favorite.
I want to ID the mushrooms lol but I need sporeeeessssssss, but I want to say that I'm definitely seeing one of Florida's many gymnopilus species there, the nice yellowish ones, which funny enough may contain psilocybin, as well a kava-kava like ketones, if they are infact one of the active gymnopilus species, but species identification can be quite difficult without some microscopy. Also knowing what type of wood they were on wood (hehe) be helpful. I'm assuming not a conifer though, looks like a hardwood.
My man saw a little deer tooth but didn’t see the giants shark tooth like 5cm away from it.
All fossils are cool but big cat would be awesome
You missed an opportunity to do the walk this way scene from Young Frankenstein
How long does it take for something to fossilize? Or does it depend on species, density, ECT.?
15:10 its prabobly bison toe bone or horse short pastern bone, might even be rihno toe bone. Second one i dont know but also toe or pastern bone of some animal
Damn so he must be pretty strong to lift the weights on him combined with the weight of the air tanks, That looks pretty heavy. Wow that's amazing how do you know what to look for? And know exactly what you've picked up. So cool dude!

I’m 13 bout to be 14 and I would love to go out with these guys.no one has ever taking me fossil hunting
I did not know Ed Norton hunted fossils
Do those Armadillo armor plates look similar to large Turtle plates? or is that not a thing?
What preserved all these fossils in these areas over so many epochs over such a long time? And, is it continuous? Or do the conditions happen again after long periods of stagnation? Was it lack of destructive microbes or just a weird time when things were constantly being covered up? Why aren’t they everywhere? Are they or aren’t they still being made?
Are there sharks in there live now, do they come there to breed at a certain time of the year?
I’m new here. How long did you go to school to learn all of these bones and some of the periods they were in. Love this video.
