WILDKYLE Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Hey guys! Here's something a little different from me... Echinoid Hunting! This was an extremely fun and productive fossil hunt, finding some of the oldest fossils Florida has to offer. In this video you even get a tour of my fossil-filled vehicle, which could have been a whole video in itself hahaha! You may also notice a quality change. We got some sweet new gear! Give the video a watch if you're interested and have some time! 10 Fossil hunting from dawn til' dusk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tidgy's Dad Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Looks like the weather was pretty good too. Love it that those echinoids need so little prepping. Be careful no one steals your car, i'd hate for you to lose the chicken. 1 Life's Good! Tortoise Friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minnbuckeye Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Wonderful example of what we all should be doing (trash pick up when fossiling)!!!! Easy to do if you just incorporate it into part of your habits. Thanks a lot!!! Mike 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goatinformationist Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Phosphate pit rock paved all of the dirt roads in Melrose, FL. and still do in most in the rural areas. I stop at all of them that I can and fill up the car with echs, teeth, and shells. Loads of the stuff out there. Thanks for the most interesting vids. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
