*Carboniferous Fossil Collecting*
Description: After getting a lead for a new fossil location in Virginia, we decided to travel out in search of the old stories that could lead us to a new Carboniferous fossil location! Little did we know that this location would produce an incredible amount of fossils with remarkable preservation! The video of the dig site was cut because we wished to protect the integrity of the formation. This turned out to be a remarkable trip with tons of museum quality specimens. The video also includes a nice segment on the geology of the formation and specimens which were recovered! Please be sure to hit subscribe, share with your friends, and follow our main page on Facebook!!

The ending just made me tear up. Something feels so nostalgic about earths history. Like some part of me remembers the carboniferous and all the other eons. I feel like I can taste the air and feel the humidity with the sounds of amphibians and insects. Though its all gone, we still have amazing fossils to hold to remember this ancient story which has been forgotten for literally 358,000,000 years. It doesn't look like much as a number but compared to your entire life if you're 20, its all your memories, friend, family, hardships and love. Seventeen million, nine hundred thousand times. If you're 100 years old, its three million, five hundred and eighty thousand times. That is so old, simply to hold these fossils would make me shake. Even though I own older fossils, Ice age things make me shake. Time is an amazing thing.

Glad I found this video. We live alongside Cambria County so these fossils are in these strip mines. Much of the info I was looking for was here, thank you

nice presentation, as the lycopod tree was essentally hollow, that is the stem and stigmaria were hollow with hollow appendices, suggesting these plants grew on water your sample of the central stele confirmed this, the stele has collapsed generating the surface groove.

We find a lot of fossils similar to those in Pennsylvania.. check out the Gastropods I’ve been finding ... the quality of the lepidodendron is wild

I LOVE your videos! ...but... at the 0:44 second mark, you called the trunk sections of Lepidodendrons "root sections of ferns". They do have fern-like leaves, but those were sections of the tree trunks and limbs. ... and around the 3:00 mark, you are calling the scale imprints "where all the roots came out". Those are all trunk and limb sections - the roots are smooth, just like a regular tree root nowadays. (you can see pictures on Google of the limbs, leaves and roots). We have LOTS of them around here... and Calamites, too ( you say "horsetail" at 4:10, they're related to our horsetail, so close enough..)
