You would think Paleontology is a pretty dead field; it will never lead anywhere, but it's surprising how much we learn about a wide variety of things.
The fossil formations I am interested in right now are The Hell Creek Formation, Dinosaur Park Formation, Niobarra Formation and Nemegt Formation because they deposit Tyrannosaur, Dromeosaur, Oviraptorosaur, Ornithomind, Titanosaur, Ceratopisan, Hardosaur, Anklyosaur, pterosaur, Hespronis, ammonite, shark, bony fish, mosasaur and plesiosaur fossils.
While some technology for this exists, most paleontologists don't use it because fossils can be the same density as the rock around them, and there is too much room for false negatives caused by other things in the soil (especially since a lot of fossils are small). So far, nothing really beats human eyes!
Dang i just found a bone structure inside a rock on the side of a mountain, was about the size of a small finger and broken, there are multiple such rocks with bones, maybe i go back and search a little. The Area is in Germany and i found it about halfway of the "mountain" its maybe just a hill, but the entire area is like those rocks that look like plates on top of plates, the kind you can break easily. I guess i do some research on the Area, because im kinda excited to find something cool.
The rock in my area is Austin chalk (in eastern TX), limestone that was laid during the Cretaceous. I was told so via the Internet, but you can also tell because it’s easy to find aquatic fossils if you seek them out (the area was covered in water at the time)
It seems from the Video that the Fossils are found close to/ near the Surface. That pretty insane, that we can find Bones of Animals that lived 200 Million years ago, close to the Modern Day Surface. It seems like the guy was saying that’s why the type of Surface is important, some surfaces like sand or dirt can increase in depth over time, while other surfaces like rock near Mountains are newly formed. The Earth has a recirculating cycle of rock. The rock is formed near faults or mountains and are recirculated by turning back into Magma at the earths depths like under the sea.
People sometimes used stones (fossils) in the past to build their castles and stone defensive walls. Are you aware of the cases of discovering interesting organisms in places that have not been found anywhere else?
@@terrywesterman4406 i searched on google "where can i sell dinosaur fossils i found" it gave me some pretty good results, like ebay,online brokers, online auctions, etc.
I have four questions about the origin of the universe 14 billion years ago 1. How will the universe be formed if the shape of the universe is flat? 2. How will the birth of the universe be if the universe is spherical? 3. How will the birth of the universe be if the universe is open like a horse's saddle? The Big Bang created the universe 14 billion years ago But the fourth question is, does the shape of the universe explain what happened before the Big Bang? Please send my four questions to cosmologists Please post your answer to CZcams and the web browser with new images and videos about the universe
Usually anatomical/structural differences separate species and similarities amongst genus. Geological localities also play a role as well in defining whether a dinosaur is of a different or undiscovered species.
Yes, you can if you have the correct geology. Many have been found by amateurs and children. Depending where you live, you may find sea shell fossils, plant and fish fossils, amphibians, reptiles, dinosaur, etc. Some areas will provide you with access to large mammals. Where I live we have carboniferous sea deposits and pleistocene mammals above them as much of the in-between material was eroded away. Good luck and keep looking down.
@@oldgoatsgarden4897 dang that’s a big time gap. I live in Colorado, so I would really like to go to the Morrison Formation. Ho I did read in a book that said that the fossils there have been subject to uranium substance apparently. Soooooo, idk if that’s safe.
@@fishtank1015 in my area much of the newer material was removed by glaciers, to the south east there is some Jurassic, Triassic and Cretaceous material. When I was in Wyoming and in college I did do some work in the Morrison and others, I got to help excavate several long bones and ribs from different dinosaurs as part of a class, it's was in a bone bed and they were mixture of a couple of different species. You may want to check with a local community college geology department if you are close to one and see if you can volunteer if they are doing a dig, sometimes they will welcome volunteers or offer introductory classes and such for the public as a way to increase interest.
@@oldgoatsgarden4897 dang that’s so cool that you font dig up Dino fossils. I’m in the middle of my 8th grade school year, but during summer break, I might take up your recommendation.

Are there any devices that can scan the sedimentary rock and identify structures that could be fossils rather than rock?
While some technology for this exists, most paleontologists don't use it because fossils can be the same density as the rock around them, and there is too much room for false negatives caused by other things in the soil (especially since a lot of fossils are small).

great vid bro hey i want to ask you soming is there any in new mexico. and can you get money for finding there bones
yes
the Zuni and Navajo (Diné) of New Mexico have observed fossils and fossil tracks in New Mexico for thousands of years!
what are the best places to serch for fossils

Great video
Nice. At what depth are dinosaur fossils found? Do you know a statistic about deep ?

I have been collecting them for years and have some very nice pieces. How can I sell them? And or talk to someone about them
Where did you found them? In your backyard? Or are you always looking for them?
@@omkarbansode6305 my land. But I have some nice pieces. Where can I sell them

Is there anyway I can volunteer to help find fossils?
Found a bone in my back yard. My son thinks it’s a dinosaur bone. Who could I call to ask?

How many brachiosaurus skeletons have been found? (from Téa and Cara, 8yo and 5yo)
Hey so um I found something that looks like a fossil that I found at the beach but idk what it is and neither does google? How do I tell what it is.
ask an expert or go to a museum
I learned one thing about fossil hunting and that’s the dinosaurs didn’t even want to live in New York.
Can i find fossils in rocks rear the river.

uh bro we're just evolved plasma, k? we are an accident obvi - keep the questions light here
One day i was in beach at turkey, and i found an coral fossil which small fishes hide themselves.
Where can find fassils
Can you tell me where we can find the fossil any place
he said it in vid. also u could just look it up
I have found a fossil but I don’t know which Dino it is
Question: What defines a species of a dinosaur?
Usually anatomical/structural differences separate species and similarities amongst genus. Geological localities also play a role as well in defining whether a dinosaur is of a different or undiscovered species.
They are dino hotspots all over the world !!!
Yes indeed!
Welp I can’t find some
Are there fossils in every country
You'll be a fossil by the time dinosaur fossils have been completely dug up
Cool
@@bladeoftheruinedking2543 I know yeh
There are 6 continents, not 7, America, Africa, Europe, Asia, Oceania and Antarctica

WHERE!!! TELL ME!!!!
i cant find a dinosaur fossil
COOL
looks like all I need to do is wait a few more years till im the right age because 10 years old is probley to young to be working with those tools
I think any thing from million years ago will not buried near the surface of the earth.
By digging?!
But where to start digging? 🤔Paleontologists have a system for determining dig sites!
Dino
I want a pet dinosaur
One hotspot is where I live
Where?
@@arismouzakis3952 Milk River Badlands, Hell Creek Badlands and some other ones in Montana

But how do we know that it’s legit? Someone could’ve buried those bones to trick us into thinking dinosaurs are real
