think about me one more time before you go
someday oh no
so i just got out of the water today was supposed to be an easy relaxing day with friends but we
actually found a lot of really cool Miocene and ice age fossils so we're going to show you what
we saw underwater some of the cool fossils that we managed to find and hopefully you guys enjoy it
oh they're getting in the good stuff i'm getting into good stuff look at this sloth tooth
i'll have to get the better camera out that is amazing we are out of the water after the first
10 minutes of diving and it was not a bad start at all we've got a gator jaw with some empty sockets
that'll be cool to restore giant armadillo scoot part of their defensive armor some horse teeth
and then this that thing is amazing that is a perfect ground sloth tooth a giant ground sloth
this thing would have been 10 feet tall at the shoulders they don't actually have enamel
like other mammals do, they have these weird like rib shaped teeth
but that's amazing i'll show a picture of what the jaw that this came from looks like and what
this animal looked like and they were impressive browsers here in the ice age but that's not gonna
be the best thing we find today hopefully so i'm gonna get back underwater and try to find more
so i wasn't actually sure what this bone here was i thought it might be
a sloth bone but it's actually the last toe bone to a mammoth or mastodon foot i don't have a lot
of these i'll put on the screen what these animals feet look like but that's a really
rare find i got another toe bone i think it was sitting right over there i couldn't tell if it
was sloth or tapir under water but i thought it was sloth or tapir yeah that's definitely
last mammoth toe bone and that's definitely a fossil hunter i haven't done much of that today
that's the trip maker that's a trip maker for sure yeah yeah
yeah it's a good one joe found some decent stuff just walking on the bank
alligator tooth um a little llama tooth that's nice uh a little pretty green tooth lots of
shark teeth man we're gonna find some more stuff today yeah probably need some lunch though i'm
starving a little known fact about geologists is that we actually like to forage for rocks
and there's sustenance so we can get one of these bad boys and we can just
um
are not good for your teeth over a long period of time the geologist actually got four sets
of teeth for this purpose and they're pretty delicious you want one joe what the hell yeah sure
oh my tooth not a geologist that's another toe bone yeah an ankle bone or something yeah
i got two different toe bones to mammoth or mastodon that one and then that final digit
we were looking at a half a plastron yeah it was kind of sad that's nice it's
got the hinge to it lots of little shark teeth which you know you and i don't care
as much about yeah just where's that giant armadillo scoot is it back here
like that's the sandwich i was eating that is the largest piece of giant armadillo armor i have ever
found that would have been a big boy or girl big boy oh a little bison oh yeah little bison tooth
is that bison or llama i can't i didn't take a good enough look but it's got nice shape to it
it does but it doesn't have the little yeah but it's a pre-molar so i'm pretty sure that's bison
yeah kat found what looks like a little bison premolar and then look at that
porpoise vertebrae really good shape cool mixture of ice age and marine fossils here
really quality tooth for this area you gonna get suited up
yeah i just ate so i'm gonna give my food a chance to settle every single week this seems like
this gets to be the harder and harder part of fossil hunting with joe is getting his
wet suit up you're hamming it up buddy i'm gonna have to put you guys on standby while i fix joe's
wetsuit getting too big for my britches yeah you are so i just got this piece of mammoth and joe
found something weird what is that no idea what that is let me take a look at that let's see
what the hell is that that's weird
i think it's a foot foot bone or something but it's so solid there you go that's a weird find
big old whale vertebrae right here look at that big old whale vert dude i just
found a partial gomphothere tooth partial gomphothere tooth oh [ __ ] come here
that's the biggest gomphothere tooth piece i have ever found
oh yeah that's gomphothere that's gomphothere yeah that is crazy that is one of the weirdest
extinct animals in florida they had shovel tusks they are in their own genus related to
mastodons mammoth elephants and they are weird animals that is just a piece of one of their
teeth oh i'm so mad that's not whole i would have freaked out absolutely wow that is crazy
that thing has got to be one of the rarest things i've found in this river all the mastodon
teeth i've seen and that's the first chunk of a gomphothere i've ever found that would have been
big how big do you think that would have been out there oh last time probably like yay tall oh
man it's so sad that it's just a partial but i'm very happy with that that's eight million years
old much older than some of this ice age stuff we've been finding like the mammoth and mastodon
material and then that gomphothere it's been a really good day so far we're gonna do a bit of
fanning to end today but i'm already pretty happy with how it's going right now we're gonna take a
break huh john don't know how lucky he is to have found just this because if he had found three
four five all the whole thing we would have had an accident going back to the boat ramp oh no i don't want
to be in an accident a little accident going back to the boat i really don't want to be in no accident
every single video i joke about "accidentally" - accidentally on purpose killing you and one
day if you ever get badly injured people are gonna think i finally snapped so joe's actually
got our first interesting find fanning he found a horse tooth before this but that
is a really nice extinct whale tooth cool shape to it that's from a sperm whale it's an extinct
sperm well there's 12 genuses of them only two are around anymore there's 14 genuses 12 extinct ones
two are still around so that's a really cool i know the math right they only have these teeth
in the lower jaw which makes them kind of unique but you don't find them that often and that's a
good find well they're a little bit more common than gomphothere teeth find some more stuff
that's cool too it's got perfect roots
oh yeah same species and it's perfect 100% there okay i think it's wicked after i handed this off
to Kat i did not get another chance to record it so i wanted to show it to you before we get back
into the river this is by far the nicest sperm whale tooth extinct sperm whale tooth
i have ever found it's literally perfect it's got the cavity right there these patterns right here
the smooth parts are from feeding damage feeding wear and it's big this would have been a big
big whale so we did do a little bit more fanning after the whale tooth but unfortunately that was
the best thing besides one horse tooth that we found doing that we're about puckered out
and we're going to go head home get some dinner tuckered out tuckered out sorry
yeah i mean we're all humans you're just seeing me through a screen right now that sounds alien as f***
definitely i'm definitely a human i'm definitely a human i'm not a lizard person or an alien
but if you guys enjoyed today's video make sure to like share if Jon makes it to
100k lizard person confirmed only only uh lizard people can get that platinum it's true
it's true and as always keep on digging science
