@danielfmyers 11 месяцев назад

Makes you wonder about the event that caused all the fish to die, without being eaten, and be covered in layers of silt rather quickly.

@danielfmyers 11 месяцев назад

Massive volcanic eruption?

@IBRAKEFORBEDROCK 11 месяцев назад

Agreed, something seems to have killed everything in that body of water. I would think volcanic ash

Old disabled house bound dusty rusty rockhound here: Been many years since I went our and searched for fish fossils. You looked like you had a blast and "netted" several great finds. Even a poor quality or partial fossil would thrill some fledgling pebble pup!!! I think all of us rockhounds should make "pebble pup cups" or small collections for little kids interested in rocks. When a new baby is born into our family ... I make them a rock collection and write out a little story about rockhounding in our family ... for when they are old enough to get into rocks.

Wish you could still get out there. Being dusty and rusty may be not as much fun but living thru Brian can help. He sure helps me and I’m 40 but am super depressed so I Don’t get out much either. Just wanted someone on here to know your comment was read and appreciated.

@fit_pharmd4830 Thank you so much. Bryan's videos helped pull me from the lowest energy I've ever felt. I have a rare blistering autoimmune disease. 8 years of prednisone and experimental meds...etc. These videos have helped reawaken memories of good times, revisit old haunts, and allow me to experience it again. I am so greatfull for his channel. Thank you again for acknowledging me and I likewise want to celebrate you, your kindness and send you best wishes for you journey. 😊

I was on a job out there in the wintertime, so that quarry was closed; but I had a nice long chat with one of the owners, who owned a rock shop in town. She gave me a tour of the workshop in back where her technician was working on cleaning a much larger find, a beautiful freshwater ray, as I recall.

Hey brother .. I'm from Wyoming a little town called Graybull ... I now live in Oregon though.. and we have a really cool spot here called the John Day Fossil Beds and there's a little place called Fossil Oregon and you can dig for fossils in the cliff behind the high school at Fossil Oregon and guaranteed to find stuff it's pretty fun my wife and I go often... when I retire my wife and I plan to come home back to our wonderful Wyoming ... I really can't wait and it probably won't be much longer .. God bless y'all..

@winstonsmiths2449 6 месяцев назад

I was stationed at Vandenberg AFB, CA, in the 90s. I use to take my kids out fossil hunting of the same materials seen here. We found many a fish using screwdriver and small hammers. The spot was on the base on some flat area overlooking the ocean.

really awesome man, im a little jelly haha. just a tip, those table saw tables slide forward so you can keep the piece flat against the table. much safer that way, i know that stone is super soft, but it can still rip out of your hands when you hold it and saw like that.

@KCoda1248 11 месяцев назад

@crossgrainwoodproductsltd9230 11 месяцев назад

Bryan, some of those would look cool if you put a piece with a fish or two into a deep rustic wood frame. A pretty easy DIY project using free, weathered pallet wood. Even better would be some thicker barn wood that has turned grey. It would stand out brightly against the dark walls of your living room. (At least I think it is your LR that is painted dark blue)? Cool fossils. Something I want to hunt for someday. I think there is a quarry like that in CO. When I lived in Lakewood, CO., I heard someone talking about it. That was almost 45 yrs ago, so I'm not sure if it is still producing.
