Ancient Snake Fossil Discovered 3 Miles Back In The Cave 

I hate crawling under my car to change the oil. You guys do it with mud, water, shifting rocks, waterfalls in your face, bats, and other insanities. Thanks for taking us along!

The snake isn’t fossilized, but is instead calcified. It could be ancient, but given its location and state, I highly doubt it. It’s still very cool and a remarkable find. That place is wonderful

Amazing. The calcite encrusted snake skeleton was epic! As far as that large spotted rock formation, I’m thinking it may be some sort of conglomerate, almost like a pudding stone. Awesome video. You guys give a whole new meaning to pushing a cave.

This might be the trippiest place you've been. Feels like you are inside an ancient art gallery that collapsed - or even a video game. Surreal and #mindblowing

5:25, this is something I’ll never understand… literally looks like a tarp

20:45 is where they see the snake.

Oh wow fellas this one is def on my top ten that you have explored. So Ancient

Cold and wet, two things I don't like very much... much respect for you guys! As always, thank you for sharing the many beautiful sights inside the cave. Wouldn't mind if the video were an hour long.

Another great video. Thanks for taking the time to film this and share it. Cheers!

This is one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen. I would love to see it myself but I’m terrified of tight spaces and dying trapped in a cave is one of my deepest fears. Nonetheless, the wonder of that huge wall of formations, the fossils, the huge chambers and gigantic structures that make it feel like the humans have shrunk to the size of ants, it’s amazing. Thanks for letting me see it!❤

Absolutely awesome video, such beautiful crystalline formations! That "giraffe rock" was so unexpected, it almost seemed fake!

Being a rockhound & not a spelunker, I wounldn't get past 25 feet in these caves, there's so much to look at😂

Great video as always! Wicked looking formations. Loved the upside down table. That patterned rock was crazy looking too.

(Verse 1) Three miles deep in the cavern's jaw, Me and my crew, we saw what we saw. An ancient snake, fossilized in awe, Locked in stone, a prehistoric claw. (Chorus) In the cave, where the echoes talk, We found a serpent, old as the bedrock. Three miles in, no need for a chalk, That fossil got the whole block in shock. (Verse 2) This ain't no tale from a storybook, We spelunkers, man, we the real crooks. Took a journey, a path that we undertook, Found that ancient snake in a hidden nook. (Bridge) Ancient as the stars, silent as a ghost, Three miles into the cave, we boast. An artifact of time, we raise a toast, To the snake from the past, our surprising host. (Verse 3) Now the word's out, spreading like wildfire, Snake fossil find, desire's getting higher. History in our hands, the stakes never dire, We the gangster geologists, uncovering the mire. (Chorus) Lights on our helmets, paths unknown we pave, Deep in the heart where the stalactites crave. Three miles in, it's the history we save, Ancient snake in the rock, from a prehistoric grave. (Outro) So we emerged from the depths with a story to tell, 'Bout an ancient snake, where it once fell. In the cave's belly, where darkness dwell, We found a piece of the past, and it's selling well.

i dont know why it presents so uniform, but i think it's likely the giraffe rock is a formation of diorite in another host rock, you can often see it in conglomerates like this where it's a large chunk of diorite sprinkled in through granite or some other rock type, and because it's darker, it stands out as a round spot.

i have massive respect for these guys and what they do. (

All of the paleontologists watching out there have got to be beside themselves when they saw the snake fossil. Soo cool !

DUDES!! another totally awesome underground adventure! hey, know any geologists that could go along with you guys to identify and detail the totally cool types of rock, formations and fossils? give a description of how far back in time the rocks that surround you are? that would be cool.

Thanks for the videos, stay safe. Bless your 2024

Super badass cave guys!!! Stunnin crystals and jus a great one!! Peace and much love to y'all all! 😁🥰✌️❤️💯🙏

Loved the crystal views! Thanks for taking me with you! I am exhausted just watching you guys!

Another favorite watch for me. I love the big rooms and structures, plus the contour of the rock.

That's one cool looking cave with unique rock formations . Glad I didn't miss this video!

Now that's the way to showcase formations! Thank you very much!

Im so claustrophobic I can barely watch this.. thanks for taking us along

You should take a pan with you, to pan some of that sand for gold. It’s not like you’re already taking as much as you can down with you.😅

This was a cool cave. Spotted rock, coral fossils, snake skeleton. Cool finds

I watched the Cave Chronicles video last week, and subbed. Those guys are going to get the AAT bump for sure!

"If a rock falls in a cave and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?" 😂

The howls of the now human icicles. ;) It's just beautiful in there. I'm just so grateful for the things you guys allow me to see, otherwise I'd never see them. You know, you guys kinda remind me of a VERY old song I used to listen to. "Wild Boys" by Duran Duran. Not that you're wild in the sense of partying, but explorers/adventurers. "Wild Boys always shine..." Thats kind of how I see you all. You shine and excel at what you do. And thank you for that. This cave was just majestic.

This cave has a lot to offer. A lot of nice formations. That giraffe stone is cool.

Good work. That flakey ceiling was pretty scary. Some nice finds. Thanks for posting!

20:00 snake fossil

That quarts vein looks very interesting @DanHurd

Good stuff, you should come to England and explore weird caves here. I guarantee you’d find all sorts of strange things! Lots of medieval ruins and castles here

Question… Any ropes that you come across, similar to the one that’s almost severed in this video, do you guys remove them as you come across them, or is there someone (property owners, etc.) that you have to alert to take care of it? Keep up the great work! Loving all the finds you’ve been discovering 🤍

I see the alluvial deposits all around you after the snake skeleton, and wonder if and how much gold is scattered in them! First a fault happens, then the fault gouge is washed out by the water, and you have your narrow passages in the cave system. But nature also fills those voids with minerals and crystals form, which is the building blocks of those caves where some people create a mine.

Another great vid. Also like it when you have someone ahead of you. Gives a better sense of scale inside the caves.

These black-ish patterns at the beginning of the video could be manganese oxide, I've seen similar patterns in caves in France. Otherwise, awesome video again!

20:37 snake skeleton

This reminds me of my days crawling around in caves when I was younger lol! Its always that climb up while a mile deep where you discover cool stuff!

Just Amazing, You two have inspired me to join the NSS and a couple of nearby Grottoes, Practice knots, read books and going on my first event in February. What kind of action camera do you use that records sound well and can survive the occasional underwater dive and the abuse of caving?

“Dude! Wow” “Duude!” Sick vid dudes! 😂😂

Dudes you guys are bloody amazing please stay safe you have heard the stories been watching your channel for a long time your content awesome good luck my god be with you

24:26 theres gold in that quartz vein 😮

Holy holy holy shit!!! Edward dude oh lordy you dude gimme a heart attack sometimes!! Glad you wasnt up higher 😮!! I'm 15 minutes in the video and i have to say man so far this place is absolutely gorgeous 😍 ❤️!! Ty so much fir the adventure!! Cant wait till next one!! Okie back to the video now Lol Peace and much love to y'all all be safe out there guys!! 🥰✌️❤️💯🙏

Full SEND MODE going up that waterfall...

8:53 I can’t take it. You guys are nuts 🥜

You Guys are unbelievable ❤Amazing 😮

What is dude in the orange trying to hide in the beginning? lmao

Looked like a great adventure. Look forward to the next one.

3:55 i see some cave paintings

Whoa, cooool, broh, dude, I know, whoa!

Very cool. I have found plenty of unalive turtles and rescued many a frog but never a snake. Anything can get carried into a cave in a flood.

You guys are awesome ,hats off for the exciting video

Thanks dude 👍🏻😎

I'm way too claustrophobic to do this shit. Thanks for the tour guys. You all have balls. Be safe 🙏🏼

I really enjoy these videos. Unfortunately we don't have such caves near my town. Greetings from Germany 😊

3:50 the flat top of the stalagmite on the left, shouldn't' that indicate tectonic plate movement, ground lift, drop, or shift, etc. at some point? How is the top flat without a cap? It would be rounded if no disturbance, right? (edit - I'm inclined to think it's more indicative of a past water level, after seeing more of the video, still very thought provoking).

FYI, the snake was NOT ancient.

*Finds bones of a small snake* “FOUND A SNAKE FOSSILE” 🙄

What’s the oxygen level when you guys go in those deep caves😮

Blue hole in Rockcastle county Ky has a room with a soda straw ceiling. Beautiful.

Awesome video, some of your other videos are super claustrophobic got dang.

This is one of the coolest that you’ve posted in a while! There’s so much to see.

At 3:40 it looks like a miniature sci-fi cityscape. Cool!

Really enjoy this channel.

*@ActionAdventure* Ancient snake you say?! 😂

The snake skeleton was so cool! 🙂

Cow spot, giraffe rock. Formations used to sit on top of rock and have since been washed away.?? Leaving the spots

Id collect one crystal or rock from every cave if i were a explorer for a memory

You guys watch the why files? You should go find the underground caves he talks about in Alaska. Referring to latest video

Who here has taken out a large decaying tree and root system? Multiply that by 10000!

18:21 😂bath on a rope

I'm 6'4" and 280lbs. Yalls videos are the only way I will ever see stuff like this

Can't believe you guys weren't even the only ones to have gone that deep inside that murder hole. People are crazy!

Wow 😮 & thanks ActionAdventureTwins 👍🤗🐍

Ah i love how excited you guys get when you see crystals and other things, such a great channel, keep it up, great attitudes, no arguing or bs while traversing these caves

Just awesome boys. GRR Exploring 😍

The snake fossil is history in the making a million years from now it will be a great archaeological find , by the way I've been meaning to ask you is your back pack water proof and if so where did you get them every hiker should have one

OK the only cave I would actually want to explore. this is amazing all those weird formation

have u guys ever thought of looking for gold, silver when ur in those caves??

Man, I don't know how you guys do it! How do you find your way out? Have you ever come in one way but found a whole new exit to the top that you didn't know about? I'd probably get lost for sure. Have you guys ever been in a cave during an earthquake or a flash flood? That's what would linger in the back of my head when crawling through those narrow gaps. I'm surprised you haven't come across a big chunk of gold or silver...or maybe you have. 😬

Please tell me this is Alabama, I live in northeast AL and know where a few local caves are, but I've definitely been on the lookout for more, undiscovered caves in hopes of exploring some without graffiti or other sorts of vandalism.

and this is why we watch YOUR channel

How do you fellas find your way back to the rope? I get lost driving!!

Thats nuts! Makes me understand why people make whole cities out of caves.

amazing cave! and cavers!

These guys are like the Red Bull Extreme cave explorers

If it was part of the rock, then it's a fossil, but if it's just sitting out there, it's a skeleton. Fossils are skeletons that have been mineralized over time. That means that the calcium that once made up the bones, has been replaced by mineral laden water that leaves deposits in the spaces of the bone, all the way down to the cellular level.

I'm still waiting for the crystal cave repeat where you go to where you heard that strange sound got spooked and turned back. Need to know 😂

what an amazing find! would love to come along, what an amazing cave!

I want to go there too if they can take me there.🥰 But sometimes the journey looks dangerous, like climbing a cliff, etc.

I have been binging your videos so much lately. Hope one day we’ll get y’all up here to TN to check out the cave on my place! Never stop doing what y’all do!

" I would have gone with you to the end.. Into the very fires of Mordor.“

for the snake skeleton 20:30

That's not 'pudding stone, ( spotted rock) that is a actual leopard from a gazillion years ago that jumped too high, or from too high, or was high, and landed with so much force it broke through the ground and stopped where you see it. Big game hunters have the same thing but on the walls where they ran through, almost, the wall, and there they are. Pudding don't make rock anyway. Ever herd of pudding tang? That is super soft but can take a beating and last for years, it is just very expensive to have in a collection. A friend of mine got some pudding tang and they take half his check every week to support the pudding tang. Anyway, thanks for going where I'm never going because of fat considerations. I do know a couple of caves in Kentucky i would like you too explore?

You guys entered a root system of a hollow acient tree

I cant help but think how it would look if someone hotboxed one of the little rooms in the cave lmao. Dank and dank.
