There are time travelers between us, living beings more than 65 million years old have left their mark on the rocks for us to find. These videos are about these discoveries, but they reveal that our presence on this planet is still very brief. The fossils tell us historical and make us travel to a time where everything was different ... it just takes a little imagination and science.
If you like to discover fossils, to walk outdoors then do not miss this channel. Weekly I will bring some of my latest finds along with many adventures and fun.
... and happy fossil Hunting !!

Finding Fossils - Soil of Unknown Origin
Without high expectations, I went to a place where they were building a road in order to investigate whether the excavations could bring fossils to light. In the middle of mounds of earth, I was surprised by the quantity of fossils and by some specimens that will certainly be part of the collection...
I was also lucky enough to meet a friend who introduced me to the provenance of the soils and even gave me directions to find even more fossils...

It's been a while since I visited this place... and today was the day. I had previously seen on Google Earth that there was a small piece of land next to an industrial unit that had been moved... and with that idea in mind, I went there to test my luck. I already knew that there were fossils nearby, but every time I go there, that area continues to surprise me with the coolest fossils in my col...

It's been a long time since I went out on a fossil hunt and on this day I took the opportunity to revisit an old quarry that in the past had brought me great surprises. It was in this quarry that I found the largest gastropods that were in my collection. I tryed to took advantage of the fact that in the previous months it rained a lot I went to see if the erosion had led to the discovery of mor...

The day dawned with no clouds in the sky, which anticipated what would become an excellent fossil hunt. I went in search of a place I had seen from Goggle Earth where it seemed to me that there were rocks exposed... upon arriving, I went to an area where I had already been for about a year ago, hoping to find even more fossils there, but the area had been completely cleaned and it was a little ...
Finding Fossils - Near an extinct Volcano
zhlédnutí 919Před 7 měsíci
I got up quite early and decided this time to visit the ancient volcanic complex, now extinct, here in the Lisbon area. I usually find fossils on the hills far from this one, howevere I never had visited this place and the result was a little unexpected since in a volcanic area what one would expect to find would be basaltic rock and not fossils. The volcano itself was a beautiful experience an...

Sometimes we think the odds are against us and we think it's practically impossible for something to happen. In reality, if it is possible, someday at some point it will happen and that is what happened on this day.

Someone wrote in the comments on the other video that they would like me to make more videos of the discoveries of large gastropod fossils and so I did. I went to my usual area, where I know that there are large fossils of gastropods, however I tried to go to an area still little explored by me. The rocks look like they were pushed or pulled in one direction by a flood and as they are spread ou...
Finding Fossils - Exploring the Hidden Fossilized Reef
zhlédnutí 981Před rokem
It was a strange time to do a fossil hunt, however the absence of sun in early August is something that cannot be wasted because it makes research in the field much easier. I went to a well-known spot in the hopes that erosion had helped uncover more of the ancient fossilized reef. The result was excellent! Whenever I go to that place, rain or shine, there are always fossils everywhere. The que...

Love your videos! I'm from Portugal too, looking to start my collection. I'm going on vacantions near Peniche and Lourinhã, can you give me some tips on where to go find some fossils? Abraço!
I'm very happy that you liked my viedos! Thank you very much! In the Peniche and Lourinha area, I know very little, but I know that in Lourinha you need to pay some attention because there are areas that can be protected... However, I suggest looking on the slopes of the roads or in places where there have been recent excavations or where there are exposed rock. If you find one fossil... there are possibly more nearby.
I have big bones sir
Thanks!
I have fossils pearl sir almost 15 kilos
Nice!
Vc é brasileiro? To confuso com o nome
Sou português. Mas faço os videos em inglês para conseguir chegar a uma audência maior! Hehehe!
2:14 I'm sorry, I couldn't understand what you said. What do you think that spiral looking thing could be? I really enjoyed the video. I love finding fossils. Whoa! That ginormous bivalve was incredible 😲
I think I said Rudists Coral, I'm very happy that you liked my videos. Thanks!
Yes, tell me how to spend all my money
Hehehe! Thanks for the comment.
LIKE Y EXITOS.
Gracias!☺️👍
GRACIAS POR COMPARTIR SABER .ME ENCANTA SABER SOBRE FÓSILES.
Muchas gracias me alegra mucho que te hayan gustado mis vídeos. ☺️
Oh man... what a treasure 😍 Keep up the good work ✌ (i sent you a pm on messenger)
Thanks for all the support my friend!😊👍
You found many keepers. Congrats for the Neolobites vibrayeanus specimen. 💯
Thanks my friend!! I go crazy when I discover anmonites .😊👍
"Very good indication that the there are fossils around ..." *When* is there Not? lol What i'd like to know, if those in *ALL Areas of Planet~E,* Clearing areas, Moving Soil, ... Ever SEE what they're Actually Moving? w0w, are Roads, 'developments', Destructions, all done by 'blind', with NO Interest in What Was? {{sigh}} *Thanks Again!* Q: You possibly might find company doing 'Earth Moving'; Ask From Where? A: 14:27 And, *WHY* Pull BEFORE Digging? 8{ [this] should Never be "Just grab and go".
Yes, you are absolutely right. Sometimes I do things too quickly and don't pay attention and pull the fossil instead of digging around carefully. Sometimes, a moment of distraction ruins everything... and often thinks the same thing: some earthmoving workers dont care about fossils or some archeological findings while working...How many things will be lost forever? Whenever there is a construction site or some earthworks, I have to investigate to see if there is in fact nothing there and often there is always something that no one notices. Thank you very much for your suggestions and your advices are very valuable to me thank you very much! ☺️👍
The big oister is indeed a Crassostrea gryphoides and they are known from the Miocene of Cascais near Lisboa. And because you told that the dirtpiles came from the Lisbon area, it is more than plausible the Echinoid could be Brissopsis crescentica or Brissopsis ottnangensis. But you should have to clean it and compare, I will send you a paper on Neogene Echinoids of Portugal in your messenger.
Thank you very much my friend. I know that the land comes from Lisbon because that's what the man who was working there told me. Apparently the documents that I saw on the internet only referred to Italy and some European countries but not Portugal as the location of Crassostreas...I probably didn't do my research properly and should have researched a little more. Thank you very much for your information it is very precious to me and helps me a lot I have to start studying the names 😄😊👍👍
I have tried 3 times to post and all have been removed!!!! I was very glad to see that you found an ammonite and that echinoid to me was very nice.Take care of yourself and keep the videos coming!
Hello my friend, yes sometimes it is difficult to upload here..., I am extremely happy to have found the beautiful ammonite ( it's very special to me, because it's super rare to find in this location) and it was a spectacular day for me. Thanks for all you support!😊👍
I love your videos! I could watch them for hours at a time and not get bored! And your narration is entertaining as well. 🦖
Well they say that I have a funny accent... lolol. I try to make an interesting story everytime, but my english is not perfect, but sometimes when I' m editing the vídeo I start to laugh because of the crazy things I said. 🤣🤣😂 I'm very happy that you liked. Thanks for the support.
Keep up the good work my guy. I enjoy a lot your videos. Did you ever though of studying geology and the get a masters in paleontology for example? You ve the passion and i think it is the most important thing
Ideed. Well... I'm a bit old now for start studing again. Well it's not to late I know, but I guess I enjoid more the outdoors, the theory for me it's a bit hard. I guess what I like it's the excitement of not knowing what we going to find, it's sort of a easter egg hunt... and during the process I also learn something. Thanks for your sugestion and support. 😊👍👍
@@zejurassico you welcome! Continue your excellent work
I enjoy watching all of your videos!!
Thankss!! I'm very happy that you liked my videos 😊👍👍
It is always great to watch your videos! I love the way you extract the fossils that are not connected to rocks. I really like the fossils you find! I usually have to break the fossil out the material or prepare it later on. You had an incredible find at 8:25 I would say as well! You have a great collection as well! I wish you luck on your next hunt for fossils!
Ohhh!! I'm very glad you liked it! I always try to remove the fossils as carefully as possible so they don't break, but sometimes the emotion of the moment gets the better of me and I end up doing things in a hurry. I've made a lot of mistakes like that and sometimes I forget that I have to take it easy. Yes, the ammonite was a huge surprise and I will probably revisit the place in the next video, I still have a lot to explore there. Thank you very much for your kind words!
@@zejurassico I also have that when I find anything that is incredible, but I recently started carrying bubble wrapping with me, incase I find anything rare, which ultimately saved some fossils from taking damage. Even if the bubble wrap didn't hold as long as expected, it did what I wanted it to. It protected it from the tools and the other fossils, so it managed to arrive home in one piece, which I will give a label as well since I know what it is, I just don't know the clear name of the species. I really enjoy watching videos like these, they are relaxing and always reminding me of how great fossils are!
Man! We've been missing you! ^_^
Thank you very much friend! You too kind. :-)
Hope to find a fossil one day 😊, cool videos my friend ❤🎉
I'm sure you can do it. Thank you very much!
Where you find one, you will find many. Go find the right place. Ask around, try asking Google.
Yesss🎉😊
Thanks!!
I use Mindat all the time for making phylogenetic trees or cladograms. I had no idea it was also an interactive map. I usually use PBDB Navigator for that.
Mindat has a lot of cool stuff. 😊
How many gastropods do you want? Yes!
I guess the happyness is to discover them in the nature! It's a bit hard to find them around here. The ammonites are even rarest.
Glad you are feeling better! Wonderful video!!!
Thanks! I'm very happy that you liked!
Lovely to see a upload from you. Hope life is good. 😊
Thanks!! I' very happy that you liked!!😊
Strange !! I posted a comment but it seems to have vanished!! Glad to see you back and I hope your health is OK.I love seeing the corals.
Thank you very much friend! It's over... the fossil hunt also helped with the recovery Ehehe! In that place it is almost impossible not to find corals. They're everywhere.
You could use Paraloid B72 to stabilize the fossils and it give them a better finish, it can be reversed using Aceton . Thankyou for the great video and taking us along.
Yes. A friend of mine had already recommended me to use paraloid instead of varnish. I have to try it, but I'm a little afraid of using it on fossils that are more precious to me, because I'm afraid of ruining them. In the past I made a lot of mistakes with varnish...Thank you very much for the advice!
@@zejurassico You cannot really make a mistake with Paraloid and as i said it can be reversed by just soaking it in acetone. I use it on all my fossils to stabilize and bring out the detail. You can make it at different strengths depending on how many grams you add when making it up. I work on a 5-10% strength. Good luck my friend.
I love the corals.
Thanks! 😄👍
😍❣👍
Thanks!!
Olá, Zé! Tudo bem? Gosto muito da divulgação que fazes :) Gostaria de saber como fazes a seleção de locais de interesse para procurar fósseis. Vais pela litologia do local, referências bibliográficas ou intuição? 😆Obrigado e bom trabalho!
São várias coisas... Numa primeira análise vejo trilhos no wikilock que gostava de fazer ( isto porque muitas vezes saio e se vou para um local novo e não encontro nada, é uma frustração... se for no intuito apenas de caminhar é bastante melhor) depois se encontrar areas onde hajam afloramentos rochosos, dou sempre uma vista de olhos. Se encontrar algo volto outro dia equipado. Ou seja: Faço uma abordagem inicial à zona fazendo caminhadas e trilhos e vendo sitios no google earth que possam ter rochas expostas. Depois volto novamente e várias vezes ao local. Se encontrar um fossil, certamente haverão mais por perto. Só por último é que faço a abordagem mais científica de tentar saber a idade da estratificação onde encontrei os fósseis .
Perfect timing. Best gift for my birthday. Thank you ☺️ 😊
Thankssss!! Happy Birthday!!
Sa kushton nje gur itill fosil.
We need a tour of your collection 🙌🏻❤
Ohhh... I should make a movie then.... Thanks!
I'll be the guy to see walking along the highways and turnpike that have high walls..lol
My country is incredibly rich in marine fossils. Even rare stuff. In fact you can find gastropods by litteraly panning garden dirt!
You are very lucky!
Your love english good top to bottom, u shell find good
Thanks!!
Excellent ! Great area you live and collect in. I am coming over for holiday see you soon 😳😅
Niceee!! Bring sunblock the Sun is merciless here.
I adore you and I could watch and listen to you rock hunt all day long!! I wish I lived closer so I could join you on your adventures!
Ohhh!! I am very touched. I always go alone, if you lived closer I could act as a guide and show you some really cool places to discover fossils
Yeah! I am so jelly again. Love your enthusiasm my friend as always.
Thank you very much my friend, thank you very much for your support and for your "jelly" ;-)
Looks like Calcite to me! Some amazing finds. So happy to see you again! My wife heard the video and knows your voice and she was happy you are back too!
I'm very happy to be recognized for my voice it's so good when we can bring some happiness to others and to ourselves as well as with something so simple as a "stone". Thank you very much for all your support !
Boas, gostava de saber que local é essa, na minha zona aqui em torres vedras acho muitos bivalves mas nao acho muito gastropodes e gostava de ter alguns com essas dimensões porque so tenho uns de pequena escala
Olá o local fica perto de Pêro Pinheiro perto de umas Pedreiras abandonadas mas é preciso ter alguma atenção porque volta e meia andam por ali caçadores que não gostam muito da nossa presença. Em Torres Vedras já estive nas Termas dos Cucos e encontrei umas pequenas amonites nada de muito relevante mas sempre que me lembro tenho vontade de voltar lá e ver se não há coisas novas.
... And finally we all see your face! :-) I love all your videos, I wish a collection like yours, but in my zone I can find only ammonites 😅 (sorry for my English)
Well it's not exactly my face because I'm a little disguised I took the opportunity to do a meme because when I took the photo I felt a little idiot with the hat on my head and with this gastropod in my hand. I thought it was hilarious and so I also took the opportunity to show my face a little more. I has very lucky that day.Many thanks for your support !!
Nice to have you back!
Thank you very much, I'm very happy that you liked my video!
Great video.
Thanks! I'm very happy that you liked!
Rain makes fossils grow.

Pozdrowienia z PL
Dziękuję bardzo przyjacielu, od jakiegoś czasu próbuję zrozumieć Twój język, ściskam mocno Portugalię
@@zejurassico PL this is Poland :D
Well,I was beginning to think you were sick or gave up collecting: it is good to find out you are not sick! Do you think you found enough gastropods.Very nice specimens! Around here if you go collecting you best have some rain gear or you will always get wet.I really enjoyed that morning sky and even the rain,keep up the collecting and videos as you can.
It's really been a long time since my last adventure and I've only just managed to upload this new video now. I didn't give up, I just had less time to my usual fossil hunts, I still went out, but I didn't have the chance to make any videos... Making these CZcams videos takes a lot of time in terms of editing and figuring out how the adventure will be told, which is the part I like least, the part I like most is the discovery heheh! But yes, It's all fine with me. Thank you very much for asking about me and thank you very much for the strength and support you have given.
Or much better, What kind of field can I find fossils?
To have less work, the ideal is to look on the slopes of the mountains or in excavations where you can see the stratification of the rocks. It's always a good starting point, sometimes I even investigate the sides of roads when they cut the hill to make the road pass. But be careful with passing cars.
Glad I checked on your channel, I was on a collecting trip and was talking to another fellow collector and he mentioned your channel and I hadn't watched any of your videos recently and I thought I should check in on you. Killer gastropods!!
That was a fantastic coincidence because I haven't posted a video in a long time... but in this day, I was incredibly lucky because it seemed like the gastropods were coming out of the walls. Thank you very much for the support.
But What kind of rocks we must identify by find a lot fossils?
The best rocks to look for in fossils are sedimentary rocks, those in which we look and We can see layers as if they were layers of a cake, in theory only granitic and basaltic rocks are more difficult to have fossils in because they are of volcanic origin.
34:52 is banded calcite. Looks like you had a pretty great day there! Congrats on the gastropods my friend!
Thank you very much my friend, it was a spectacular day!
