Looks like it would have been an ambush predator that buried its body in the sediment with just its eyes and mouth sticking out ... this is the same way I get my food and it really freaks people out when I do it in the supermarket.

Congratulations on your find. Especially since you took the trouble to clean an initially unimpressive find. Im sure I've probably thrown away my fair share of good fossils simply because i haven't looked closely enough at what I was holding. Its not as easy as some folks imagine. Sadly no Tullymonsters for me ( Im in England) but I have found myself a fair ammonite collection . And been lucky enough to visit Lyme Regis , where Mary Anning found many of our first icthyosaur and dinosaur fossils, so cant complain.

@NewCreationClips 14 дней назад

Thanks! Your collection sounds cool, where do you collect ammonites? Is collecting allowed at Lyme Regis?

@tamjammy4461 14 дней назад

I collect from anywhere that I visit! But I don't want to come across as any sort of expert. I'm pretty new to the fossil game. Me of my fossils come from the Yorkshire coast. I guess Whitby or Robin Hood's bay are the most famous places. There's a fair amount of jet around there and I have a couple of jet ammonites which I like. I've just started trying to clean some up , but don't have any professional equipment. I just use an engraving tool . Which works ok. As for Lyme Regis.... It's legal to collect nodules once they've fallen out of the cliff face. The ammonite pavement there is pretty spectacular, but was mostly covered in debris from a recent rockfall when I last visited . There are good videos on RU-vid if you just search for ammonite pavement. It can be pretty dangerous right next to the cliffs though. The rockfall covering the pavement when I arrived had come down during the previous 24hrs, and I saw(and heard- - falling cliffs make a lot of noise !!) several smaller rockfalls during my visit. The main fossil collecting areas aren't so dodgy though as they're further out from the cliffs ( only idiots like me go too close😃) . Lots of small "golden" ( pyrite) ammonites. If you ever come to England I'd strongly recommend it ..... particularly if there's been a storm . The odd icthyosaur vertebrae and mammoth teeth turn up pretty regularly I'm told , but I've never found one. Well, let's dream. I haven't found one YET. Anyway, I enjoyed your fossil trip. Lakes look amazing . I live on a boat on the canal system over here and enjoy kayaking myself, though it's mostly just straight lines on the canals. Good way to see nature though.

As a child, I had a dream about swimming in a lake and being very afraid of all the strange looking creatures in the water with me. Years later, when I learned about all the prehistoric animals, I was shocked to be able to recognize them all. They were exactly the same as the creatures that I dreamed about. To this day, I believe I was given a peak into our history.....

Google Earth is good. But you should invest in a drone to help eliminate those needless searches. You can pin a spot, and when you finish that spot, mark it, record the coordinates and move on.

This is an excellent video and quite current in regards to the ongoing investigations of the Tully monster’s taxonomic affinities. However, your otherwise scientifically accurate video (nice discussion of concretions, BTW) struck a jarring note when you said that these creatures lived “thousands” of years ago. Tully monster fossils are found in strata from the upper Carboniferous period (formerly known as the Pennsylvanian), which were deposited between 323 and 299 million years ago. All economic coal seams in the Upper Carboniferous in the Illinois Basin were deposited during this period, which was marked by rising and falling, relatively shallow seaways. Sediment input came from the erosion of one of the Appalachian mountain building episodes to the east. As sea levels rose and fell (probably driven by Gondwana glacier formation and melting, which drove eustatic change by segregating seawater into continental glaciers and then releasing it during cyclical freeze/thaw events), shorelines shifted landward and seaward. Rising sea levels flooded low-lying shore environments, creating swamps and bogs. Coal was formed in oxygen minimum zones when organic materials didn’t completely decompose. As sea levels continued to rise, the coal swamps retreated landward, and the previous shorelines transitioned to more purely marine environments, with various marine fauna. Areas of fresh-water input (river mouths) created deltas that prograded and retreated with sea level changes and often a more fresh-water fossil assemblage is found near those areas. All of this time, the basin itself was subsiding, transporting organic materials into higher realms of temperature and pressure, resulting in the coal seams and sometimes even oil and gas. Erosion (and slight structural uplift) has since brought these sediments to the near surface around the periphery of the Illinois Basin.

the channel name. He's one of _them_ . Hopefully logic will prevail as he gets older and he gets some independence from his family.

@cedarwaxwing3509 6 дней назад

@@VincentNajger1 Since I am a geologist from the Midwest, I am fascinated by anything to do with Tully Monster fossils. I clicked on the video without really looking at the channel name. The young man seemed to “talk the talk” about his geology knowledge but I stumbled over the “thousands of years” statement, hence my lengthy original post. I naively thought I was helping. It was only later that I looked at other videos on his channel (and also read comments like yours) and realized he’s a YEC with all of their painfully awkward efforts to shoehorn 4 billion years of earth history into 6,000 years because they are terrified that if facts don’t match their Bible, then their whole religion collapses (there are plenty of scientists that are religious believers, but they manage to separate their beliefs from the geological and biological facts that fuel serious science). I can’t help but think “what a waste.” This young presenter seems to be able to absorb facts, understands geological processes, and has an obvious passion for the science, but he will never have a career as a geologist, unless he manages to pretend to learn the science in order to pass classes to get a degree, and then his only job opportunities will be working for the Discovery Institute or Answers in Genesis. He’ll never have a shot at a job in academia, the oil or mineral extraction industries, or even in environmental geology for one reason: all of those professions require the gathering of data, the formulation of hypotheses, testing those hypotheses, and then formulating working (but modifiable) conclusions. Creationists start with their conclusion and then work backwards, cherry picking data and “ring-fencing” their hypotheses because they aren’t allowed to go beyond the constraints imposed by their Bible.

@VincentNajger1 6 дней назад

@@cedarwaxwing3509 I didn't realise either until I heard the same line, then I read the channel name and figured he was YEC. I still watched the vid though lol.

@cedarwaxwing3509 6 дней назад

@@VincentNajger1 Watch some of his others if you have the time. In the one about upper Midwest glaciation he all but admits that the evidence for multiple glaciation cycles makes it difficult to squeeze them all into “a few thousand years.” Others, like “evidence” for Noah’s flood and anything to do with evolution, are laughable. I hope he wakes up some day and puts what seems to be a pretty good brain to work.

@@ianchenofficial Hi . Just thought I'd demonstrate that YECs and atheists can agree about stuff.... Peter's right. You've got to get out there!!. Lots of special places to visit and there really is something special about cracking open a fossil and realising that you're the first human ever to see the animal/ plant that's fossilised inside it.

@ianchenofficial 13 дней назад

Yes you’re both right. I used to enjoy camping and hunting before I have a young family. Perhaps I’ll get back into that when my kids are older. But never fossil hunting(?). That looks cool. Though I wouldn’t know if I knew how to differentiate them from normal rocks.

Go to the channel page if you are mystified as to why he keeps saying this is "thousands" of years old, not millions. This is how the "intelligent design" people get to the children. This is propaganda, not information.

Hundreds of millions. Maybe he has religious family he's trying not to get all flustered and confused? Oh.....I just noticed the channel name. Definitely religious. This poor kid must get confused.

@koltoncrane3099 4 дня назад

Idk. I remember reading how a creature was found that’s a fossil scientists use to judge different layers of geology. Like five of em have been found alive. Not many but a few.

@koltoncrane3099 4 дня назад

Vincent Also you can be religious and believe the earth is billions of years old and that there were people here before Adam. The Bible literally tells Adam replenish the earth which implies the earth was once filled. You’re totally right a lot of religious people are closed minded or wrong! But think it’s wrong to say they’re wrong about everything. It’s like saying scientists are right about everything. We all know scientists lie from time to time like the transition evolution fossil in the UK scientists said was an early human that ended up being pig bone and the scientists lied their azzz off. Profit faucci another scientist or expert in his emails admitted some of his recommendations did nothing but was a psychological thing. Cloth masks didn’t work like n95 he admitted but still promoted it. Anyone that’s ground rust for hours on end knows a cheap n95 mask is cheap and worthless. Maybe for a short time it’s time but eventually you move as you work and the mask doesn’t stay closed then air gets in. A half or full 3M respirator mask actually sticks to your face cause of the rubber material and has straps. The scientists could have promoted that. I did find a few doctors that literally explained it well, but only a couple.

@evanjohnson9269 4 дня назад

@koltoncrane3099 Yeah, that's why we call them living fossils....they hardly change. To deny what's been established by science and blatant evidence is foolish

@jackkennedy9475 4 дня назад

I have a science degree, for years thought Darwin’s theory was fact until recent scientists saying law of large numbers prevents evolution, modification and similar types yes but an ape over millions of years will not turn into a homo sapien. This still perplexed me so did more research. Turns out sequencing too soon or too late as no effect. But it does seem that, a modification of a species can happen via environment. Example Japanese crabbers tossed back crabs with black dots. After several years almost all had black spots. This is not evolution, rather removing many of the non black spotted crabs resulting in more black spotted crabs.

I do believe in evolution I’m also not ruling out that there’s probably somewhere we go after you know-, and while I am not Christian or anything like that I do like this video you seem to be truly passionate about your fossils, there’s- proof for evolution heck it happens and is observable but honestly I’d love to talk about animals with you, and I love that you appreciate both beliefs :D ❤ you seem like a truly kind human good sir- Anyway anyway have a lovely night or day :D

@Akapickles 3 дня назад

Proof of Evolution? I’ve never seen any in my 40 years. I’ve seen plenty of speculation, even read Darwin’s books, but it was all speculation. There is, however, proof of a large catastrophic worldwide flood creating the fossil record.
