Megalodon Shark Tooth Hunting | Fossil Hunting in Florida | Destroyed by WILDKYLE! 

Great Finds! What part of Florida is this at? What's the name of the river? Thanks for sharing 💞🦈

KirstiStephenson , you’re not serious, are you??? Only an idiot would give up their hunting location. You need to go out and find spots in your own, smart people aren’t going to publish that on the internet.

Have you considered a few shark tooth/fossil instructional videos as far as ID goes? It's pretty impressive how you just rapid-fire the names of just about everything that you find. I know that there is a lot of info out there but sometimes it comes down to someone who knows showing you why this tooth must belong to this species. Thanks.

That's a good idea Michael! I may have to do that in the near future. Thanks for the suggestion.

@@joevalencic5275 Yes I am Serious Thanks. I am a Diver and Gem, Mineral and Fossil Collector...Nobody Owns Rivers Sir.....and every Channel on Fossil Hunting or Treasure Diving I watch always states the River, Town and State.... Including Dallmyd whom one of these Gentlemen recently did a collab video with.

+Cynthia Swearingen It's always a good time, even if we don't find much! Thanks for watching.

Cynthia Swearingen that true

+Dawn Hernandez Oh, it is going down next hunt. I will not be shamed like this again! 😡😂 Thanks for watching!

Yes indeed! Thanks for watching and commenting.

+Michael Mueller Thanks!

Thanks Dan! More vids coming soon.

😂 Thanks!

Thanks!

Not for long, Jim! The fossil hunting rematch is soon.

Thanks! Merry Christmss to you too!

+NinjaShark I would've cast that megalodon tooth straight into the fires of Mt. Doom itself if Kyle wouldn't have caught up to me and took it back! 🤣

PaleoCris lol, I was just waiting for someone to yell “my precious!” Those were some pretty sweet finds tho! I’m hoping to go out to the peace soon and do some huntin’

+Little Bacchus I am a nice friend like that. 😂

Florida was underwater

+Blackthyrox Darckman Thanks!

Thanks!

It's not a very easy process to find new spots...it involves a lot of exploration and reading different kinds of maps. I definitely plan to make a detailed video explaining how I do it with tips I've learned over the years.

+Carter Thomsen I always love constructive criticism, and you're 100% right...during editing this vid, I went and started browsing for external microphones online. I think my hand occasionally covers the mic on the device I record with...shouldn't be a problem in videos I record after this week when I get a mic.

PaleoCris awesome. Excited for future videos!

+Thomas H I will definitely consider doing that, especially when I start scuba diving for the big crazy Pleistocene mammals that can't easily be described without a photo. Thanks for the recommendation and glad you're enjoying it here!

I'm in Gainesville, creeks have teeth but mostly small teeth

+Jasper Force Haha, if I seeded finds, my back wouldn't ache this much from the digging at the end of the day! Yeah, I know some people that hunt fossils in NZ and I hear that it is very trucky.

Awesome :D yeah there's a few dodgy ones on youtube but nice to know your excitement is genuine :)

I have seen some vids on RU-vid and Instagram that make me very skeptical...although I think I'd be skeptical of my own vids if I didn't know better, so ya never know. Haha.

Not necessarily, no. Color isn't an indicator of age, but tells more about the minerals or tannins the tooth was exposed to and absorbed.

@@PaleoCris kool good to know thanks!

+Cierra Rouse Me too! 😁

They tend to settle under the sand and small rocks that move during flooding. I dig under the sand and small rocks to a hard gravel layer...if the layer feels right, I will dig there until there is no more gravel left. It takes a little while to learn what the gravel should feel like with a shovel, but once you do, you know what you're looking for.

I'm afraid I don't know a lot about that area...The basic technique for finding a spot is the same everywhere, though. Find a geological map of your area, determine a formation that contains fossils you want to find (just Google the formation name you see on the map near you and "fossils"), find a legal access point to that spot, preferably where there is erosion happening (creeks, rivers, road cuts, cliff sides, etc) and check it for the fossils that are supposed to be there. If you get good at reading the maps, you'll be able to predict what kind of fossils you can find in any given location. I plan on making a video on how to do all this in the future if any of this is confusing..

+Alan Morgan We do find them! Usually one a trip or so, but I haven't found one in the last few trips.

I wish! I can't make it this year, unfortunately. Maybe next.

+Peter Wilson1 We fill bathtubs with fossils and roll in them. 🤣🤣 I might have a hording problem when it comes to fossils. 😁⛏🐚🦈

@@PaleoCris yes at least you admit it. I'm still refusing to admit it Lol -Cam

+Cubing Legend I'm going to be editing my vid tomorrow for possible upload Monday or Tuesday. I'm not sure when Jake will edit and upload his to his channel.

Thanks!

I am north of there, but there's great places south of there too....i slways recommend the Peace River. There is so much stuff there!

+Codey Sobrino I got into it 12 years ago or so. Kyle and I met on The Fossil Forum, a website I started for fossil hunters when I was 16.

@@PaleoCris dam that's soo cool 🤙

I do some calcite hunting, agate geode hunting, metal detecting, "river treasure" diving, etc. I love it all.

If we identified them as megalodon, they are megalodon. The morphology of great white shark teeth is nothing like megalodon. They are more like serrated Cosmopolitodus hastalis (extinct broad tooth mako) teeth. Remember that megalodons had to start off as small pups and grow into the giant beasts with hand size teeth that most people picture when they hear "megalodon". Infant megalodon teeth can be as a small as the nail of your thumb and are identified by the distinct chevron shaped bourlette, boomerang shaped root, thickness, serrations, shape, geological formation and age the tooth was located in, etc.

PaleoCris dang Chris you didn’t have to destroy them with so many facts Chris, calm down. Jk FUUUUULLLL SEEEEENNNND

Unless it is fossilized. 😉

+Larry Bair Never!! 🤣🤣 I've said it before, but holding in enthusiasm like this is like holding in a sneeze...it's dangerous and could result in serious injury. 😁
