Life in Texas’s Lost Ocean 

Please keep the videos coming!! In my opinion you're like the new up and coming David Attenborough!!

Your science comm. is killer dude. Great vid as always, but the extra effort to divulge the science behind the hunt is setting you apart from this admittedly small youtube community. That on to p of being well read in the first place, you deserve some real cred and I hope u find more success!!

I love finding channels like these and seeing people get really excited about science stuff that I wouldn't have given a second thought, if I had even *noticed* it passing by. Reminds you how diverse the human experience is, and how incredible the universe is if you look at it in the right way.

I’m Korean I love your video please post often 😭 I’m begging you

I have been collecting in the Central Tx area for the last 30 yrs. Got to work with Dan Ryder for a yr or so. Most recently have been focusing east of Austin where the fossil record hasn't been adequately documented. Finding a Lot of echinoids variety of species as well as ammonite, oysters etc

Absolutely fascinated by your videos. Your enthusiasm is infectious.

A heartfelt thanks, for your enthusiasm, knowledge, and post!

Great video! I love watching your explorations, discoveries, and explanations. You are a natural-born teacher. Keep making these fascinating films!

just found your video. love the content thankyou

As a fellow fossil nerd, I love your channel. Please keep up the awesome content. 🤓👊

"see if we can muscle that out". Hehe

So amazing that these fossils are just there to see, after all this time. My state was a shallow ocean 600 million years ago, and there are places where people look for fossils, but we don’t have rock close to the surface.

I would've died to be there with you! I'm originally from Fort Worth, TX. Now we live out west of Austin. Yes beautiful, but no fossils like I found on the far west side of Fort Worth. I will have to remember this place for our next road trip!

Nice! I always get so excited with you find! ❤❤

Awesome video! Those ammonites are amazing. The caterpillar b-roll shot

The videos are amazing! Hope you can post more. I don’t know, but I’d guess just looking along stream beds is the best bet. Identification is a bigger challenge.

Cool video. Nice to discover something new, especially about my home state

Awesome, very cool fossils. I like the long shelled nautilus

Great video, Jared. Tidgy really enjoyed it too.

I always enjoy watching your videos. Greetings from the Netherlands!

North Fort Worth about 18 years ago I found a big crab claw , Propoduce? was like 4 inch by 5 inch, still had some of pearl on it

I'm from Texas I'm 33 and my family had a ranch in the hill country. And i use to find so much crazy fossils but I'd just look wasn't until i was older that i realized how blessed i was to have that.

totally rad ammonites man love your videos 💯

Awesome video as always Jared! Some of the few content I’ll still actually watch all the way through

Awesome vid, brother! Love that Baculites you chiseled out 🤙🏼

Love your videos! Where's the rest of them?

Never seen your videos before. This is the first one. At 2:31 I paused it to subscribe. Your introduction of this video was perfect. I really appreciate you getting solid information out concisely and quickly. Thank you!

Thats a fossil? When i was a little kid almost 70 years ago in Springfield mo they had real looking fossils laying everyplace down by the barn..perfect well defined.

Insane vid!! Keep up the good content

Hey Jared, do you do tours?? I’d love to go on a tour of Texas fossils with you. ❤from 🇨🇦 PS. Do you follow Myron Cook the geologist. You remind me of him

no sharks:( The ammonite you recovered was sick though!

It must be hell lugging that massive tele-prompter everywhere you go 🙂 More or less whereabouts is this in Texas?

Jared Cooke Post!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

i live in texas and ima go hunt some fossils next time i go out! i've found some cool ones in the past. those are huge.

I've never had any luck in the Austin Chalk.

Very cool video. I’ve found a lot of gryphea and other mollusk fossils in austin chalk and surrounding Taylor formation clays. Some of my greatest finds have been from soil Borings and excavations in the Taylor formation clay right in the middle of Austin! I also have an unknown large vertebrae I found. If you have any tips for the austin area let me know!

im a follower on your tiktok! great ill find you here at youtube mate

Love it, your an educated Texan, let me know if you've got interest in taking this olde G anny to see this stuff. The native Americans used many old shells n pieces for decoration. They like many were very interested in what fossils we're from originally.

Mussel the Oyster out!!!
