We Found Crystal Filled Geode-Fossils and Squid-Like Sea Creature Remains in Kentucky's Roadcuts! 

It was cool when you flipped the one stone with the large brachiopods to find the living Isopods crawling all over the bottom. They maybe fossils themselves one day.

Love seeing people fossil hunting. I'm a part of the Kentucky Paleo Society and we do hunts every month. It's a great hobby!

At 21:00, you have a stromatoporoid, an extinct sponge in the Ordovician-Devonian. An early advisor of mine was a leading authority of stromatoporoids. RIP Mona!

Those "weird" crystals are dolomite. You can tell from the rhombohedral shape instead of the dogtooth crystal structure. They also tend to be less transluscent. Jealous of your finds man! We will need to do this one day!

Indiana and Kentucky both have good sites. I've spent a lot of Sundays searching the backroads and finding great fossils. Half the fun is finding a site that isn't ruined by overpicking.

I grew up in Kentucky -- I'm still here, annnnnyway ... I'd dig up brachiopods all the time when I was little and for some reason, I called them petrified walnuts. 😀 I'm a lifelong rockhound and I surely enjoy your show. Thanks for the content!!

Living in Kentucky and not too far from these types of cuts has me super excited to go check them out 😮😮😮

"Like its being plucked from a 400 million year old ocean floor" sure puts things into perspective! And those coral branches are awesome! Way cool song Kyle!

Thanks for taking us with you & Ariana.

Wow! Those were some amazing fossils!!! Every one of those road cuts were amazing and held some outstanding fossils! I love Kentucky for that! So many bryozoans, and cephalopods, and brachiopods! And trilobite molts! It's just so amazing! My little brain is just melting from seeing all the fossils! I love fossils! Thank you for showing all the amazing, wondrous, fossily, goodness! It was awesome! Thanks Kyle!

I was excited to see this video🎉🎉🎉🎉 hello Kyle!!! My name is Mary Paige.. I came to You Tube to learn about the aquarium Hobby when we all were stranded in our homes when the pandemic first started. I ended up finding the best people I've ever met. I battled addiction over 20 years to prescription pain medicines and almost lost my life, I ended up learning to make a few videos and share!! being in nature and our Hobbies are the best therapy!!!! I'm still here and learning to create. You always make me smile and make my day better!! Aquascaping aquariums led me to looking for Hardscape, which led me to rocks, which led me to fossils.... because I'm in Kentucky. I just did a video last week and learning about and finding so many cool fossils and gemstones just from the creek gravel thats excavated to be put down in driveways around here. IM JUST A COOL( well I try to be)GRANDMA😅 thats been enjoying your Channel. Whenever you're on, I make everybody watch with me lol and I saw that you were in Kentucky and couldn't wait to see the video¡ great way to start my day. Maybe if you want a good laugh I did a video the first little bit of it it's just me sharing my day but the second part I show some of the cool fossils I'm finding. What got the video started was people telling me about licking rocks and if your tongue sticks its a fossil LOL I thought they were just trying to get me to lick rocks ( okay and I admit it. I did😂😂) your video really helped me alot. ❤ I have been sending people your way I'm about to post the link to watch your video in my comments and description!! Thank you and your friends putting this together. If y'all are still anywhere near Russell Springs / Somerset area. KY we have some really really really awesome creeks! I hope you and your friends have a blessed and beautiful day❤ Loved the video!!!!

Your friend is correct , the plant is indeed honeysuckle . Unfortunately it is a non native invasive species that is very hard to eradicate. It does attract humming birds though .

This truly was a place of exceptional bounty. My mouth was hanging open most of the time. I honestly covet what you found…..🎉

I live in Western Kentucky, and I have absolutely loved going creekin and finding geodes and many cool fossils!

The "two fer" coral you found at 17:50 is a brain coral I think. Little baby ones. Very cool! Every time I watch your videos i'm smiling all the way through. Thanks for sharing all your adventures.

9:22 I was amazed when those turned out to be different crystal formations & not leaves like I expected 😂 so awesome!! 💜

Unbelievable! And in a road cut, how on Earth?! Such cool finds Kyle and Ariana. Thank you both once again for taking us along on your adventures! Have an amazing week!

Oh wow, thanks for taking me home! Yes, that plant is honeysuckle. Smells great, it's pretty, but very invasive. Love all the fossils you all found. I used to love looking for different ones as a kid. Those are really cool.

I live south of Louisville. We have the creek with Hugh Geodes and steams. And the road cuts from Mt., Washington to Springfield have the same type of fossils your hunting here in this video. It is so hard to The amount of fossils you can find in those road cuts glad you guys had a great time

I am Balown Away, by the amount of crystallized fossils there. And so jealous right now. Happy for You guys, though o c! Thanks for sharing. Greetings from Sweden

Omg those are my favorite cheezits!! We just purchased 200 acres in Kentucky. First time I went searching I found a tree bark fossil, dated approximately 420 million years ago! I’d love for you guys to come check out or place!

Ok you got me with the trilobite. How far is this from Missouri? The dogtooth calcite in those brachiopods is freaking awesome and I'm not sure what the other crystals are... Dolomite maybe? Anyway... um yeah this is an amazing spot!

Wow , a fossil 'Alladins cave' on the side of a cutting🤩 this was brilliant! Thanks😊

Those spots looks freaking amazing!! Once my knee replacement stops being so mad me and my daughter need to get out hunting.

It's so satisfying watching you guys collecting these beautiful things. Those squiddy arms...so cool. Lucky things... When I grow up I wanna be a Cephlapod.

That doozy at 8.31 with the yellow crystals was incredible 🎉

Wow beautiful fossils I love the geode ones because here in Texas in a Permian creek bed I've found a few geode fossils just like that that's amazing

Awesome finds and yes it’s honeysuckle. I live in KY and now I bet everyone will be stopping at all the big rock cuts next to the roads to check for cool fossils 😁 I know I will

Love fossil hunting in Kentucky. I find fossils almost every where I go. Thank you so much for the video. I wish I could with you some time.

Love all the geodes.

Wow!! I would totally try to hand prep some hollow single clams to open along the original seam.

What a fantastic adventure !!!!

That double coral you found was awesome! ❤️😃

I have some gastropods and coral from Lake Huron. Michigan side and Canada side. Other fossils and minerals and stones. I only have a small space for them all but I’m happy with what I have. When someone goes out of state, I ask them to find some interesting stones or fossils. Great hobby!

Honeysuckle! And OMG!! At the fossils! So jealous!💜💜💜

👋🤠 Greetings from Missouri ! Nice Good to know I'm always looking at road cuts, but had never stopped to check one out . Thanks again, Kyle! Thanks, Ariana ! 🍀🍀All the Best! 🍀🍀 & Happy Hunting !! 254 👍 🤘 & ✌

Fossil heaven! Hope you picked up hundreds and hundreds!! 🤩

Wish we had places like that in Wales UK, incredible fossils and the brachipod geodes are gorgeous.

Ah dang my wife and I were up on a few roadcuts about a mile or two from there a few weeks ago! Nice finds!

I have never heard of Brachiopod geodes and the fact that they are in some kind of mud rock is even more unexpected . Big thumb's up.

Hi Kyle ,at 27mins you said they might be corals,could be more likely to be Bryozoans great video and awesome finds .Greetings from U.K.

20 years ago I use to find all kinds of cool stuff in creek in Brown county Ohio and I found so many cool fossils! I live like 40 mins from Maysville!

Always great to see you enjoying Kentucky! You found some fantastic critters! I just got back from your home state (MI), hunting pretty beach rocks - because we definitely do NOT have much color or variety here.😂

I live in Texas, in the Permian Basin, and have found all kinds of corals, mollusks, one of which is an extinct oyster, Gryphaea or Devil's toenail, my favorite. Once found a mosasaur vertebra and femur (left in place as they were huge!), and know that feeling when you find something so unique and exciting. I found one slab of limestone that was about 5 feet by 8 feet absolutely covered in mollusk shells and ammonites. Great video, enjoyed it very much, and subscribed.

This was awesome! Thank you for sharing!

Oh wow! Fantastic finds Kyle! And well done on your new song. Loved it xx

FANTASTIC finds!!!

Memory making day! Thanks for taking me along.

So many awesome fossils, Kyle, I love that big cephalopod piece you found at the end! Just listened to your new song, and I love it!❤

Most of the brachiopods you picked up were of the genus Vinlandostrophia, possibly V. ponderosa. I think you might have also picked up a few Hebertella. There might be some Hiscobeccus in there too. The large flat brachs are most likely Rafinesquina.

Dude, welcome to kentucky, my home state, and happy hunting

Those are very cool and awesome finds I would love to have some of the especially the crystal geodes in them

The Maysville cut is one of our favorites! We have a lot of luck with cephalopods there just like you seemed to be having. I was really hoping you'd find a trilobite roller, we've yet to find one there either.

Very cool! Love them! ❤️❤️

Driving down 75 from Michigan to Tennessee those highway cuts were always fascinating to me. I always figured they were full of fossils.

My first time watching you guys. U had me at the fossil gods song 🎵 😆 🤣 I always sing my fossil song when I go out hunting. Works everytime for me too! Awesome vid man. I'll mos def be back to check y'all out Peace N Love

Hey Kyle! Great to see another video from you! I love extra toasty cheese-it too! ❤️😃

WOW!!!! 💥 I’m not even a third of the way into this clip, and all I can say is wow!!! Back to it!!👍👍

Really enjoy these videos. Love how excited you get about finds. Fun video, looks like some great finds. Find lots, stay safe, happy hunting! 😃

those are so cool, i cant wait till i can go out and look for stuff like that

We always called them lucky rocks. I have quite a few of them. Mine are brown with rings around them. You found some really good ones.

Awesome I enjoyed every minute of it Thank you both

Very cool finds!!!!!!

I wish we had places like that in england or near me would be so awesome

The big brachs are Platystrophia (Vinlandostrophia?) ponderosa, I think. Happy to be corrected because I don't know the locale. The flat shield shaped brachs might be Strophomenids called Rafesquina. You have others there by the look of it so maybe Herbetella as well. Great finds. So well preserved. Beautiful calcite infills. Apologies if you already knew all this stuff.

Love the video man! Just amazing fosdik geodes etc. Looked like an Itty bitty "brach" fossil in that pyrite itinerary stone. Love the preview of you coming single. I'm a bug fan if music too. Peace N Love

And then the huge cephalopod... Man this trip was beyond Awesome 😅

Amazing finds!!!!

Stromatolites were the first shell fossils that can breathe on land in the Cambrian Period 4.6 billion years ago

Great! My next trip up North is gonna take me days, cause NOW I am gonna have to stop and check out all the road cuts along the way!

Like Jack Sparrow, critters just showed up to bring the ship to Sea, you seriously found an undersea ancient ocean bottom, just amazing! Opals?

HI Kyle! im Ally, i love your videos so much, i just recently started rockhounding and fossil hunting myself. Unfortunately i cant find much in Maryland where i live but watching your vids lets me experience it through you 😭. Stay amazing i cant wait to see your next adventure 😃

Wow! Kyle!!! Cheez Its and fossils! So many fossils!!

Oh wow. Great hunt for 2💕

If you dont mind, could you give roughly a location, even just a county, where this is at, or maybe where one could find something like this? I live in Virginia, right on the border, and would love to see some fossils. Great, great video!

Hi Kyle, I would love to see those cleaned up please and the surprises inside if you cut them.

Amazing finds 👍👍👍👍

Kentucky has everything for everyone if you look hard enough.

At 11:45...Yes that's a Honeysuckle. If you pull out the center string-like thing, there will be sweet nectar on it. Sweet!

I think your epic song offering was gratefully accepted.

What a great video! Thank you!

"There's Treasure in them there Hills!"✨️❤️ & Yes that beautful smell is Honeysuckle 🌸

When will there be some bottle videos

Aneurism avoided. Lol Thanks. Also for fun check out what the center of a straight cephalopod shell is called. :) Still makes me giggle.

That was a really kick-ass tune you played its no wonder the Fossil Godess blessed you!

That last Ceph ... a stunner.

What a beautiful song you wrote for the. Fossil Gods. 😂 Thanks for sharing. Yes that is Amur Honeysuckle. It's grows almost everywhere in Kentucky.

Man now i really need to find a place around me where i can go fossil hunting

Wow, so glad for you😍

That was really cool,great video.Thanks for sharing Bryan Kitchen Houston Texas

I have one coral and one geode found in Kentucky. I wish we had been able to do some hunting for them when I lived there.

OMG! This video was great! I felt like I was with you.

Loved the video!

Awesome and I live in south central Kentucky and have never investigated the road cuts lol! I guess now I will!

I live in Kentucky, I get to do this almost every day. Also, those brachiopods you're pulling up every 5 seconds (Vinlandostrophia sp.) Are probably the most common fossils in Kentucky. 12:00 That brachiopod you just picked up is a Hebertella sp., and a gorgeous one at that. 19:30 a little rule of thumb for finding fossil corals in Kentucky, if you can hold it with one hand, it's not big. I've found some that are 3 feet long. 21:02 that looks like a stromatolite to me. Good find! I myself haven't had any luck finding those! 23:40 thise cephalopods are an orthoconic nautiloid, possibly Treptoceras duseri, related to the more famous cameroceras.

Fantastic, how do you decide what to keep with so many beautiful fossils?

AWESOME !!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Live in Nashville and there is a place same stuff, but everything together, detail can't get better/must have been a red tide and killed the entire area. Once i sprayed vegetable oil on them and plated them with fish fillets, fried potatoes, Cole slaw the braciopods looked like part of dinner ready to eat 😅😅😅

Love the extra toasty cheeze-it's. they are my favorite also.

So fascinating!
