This is part four in a state by state rockhounding series, covering Tennessee. There are a lot of very interesting localities and minerals that come from them. Also I neglected to mention in the video but the state fossil can be found in the sedimentary outcroppings around the state but predominantly on the Western side. So any of the eroded areas near the Mississippi, limestone, shale, etc can produce them. You may even find them in gravel bars.

Do you want to look for gems, minerals, fossils, and crystals? And you happen to be in or visiting Tennessee? Check out this video. There are beautiful quartz and agate specimens, garnets, and so much more!
Live next to Cherokee forest
For anyone interested: There are some beautiful plant fossils embedded into shale all along the big soddy creek trail (but especially as you make your way up to board camp creek). There are specimens everywhere. :0)
Edit to add: Big Soddy Creek is in Soddy Daisy – about 20 miles outside of Chattanooga. 🎩
I absolutely love exploring along the big rivers!!! Cuba Missouri here!
Smell the black rock. I find ones like that and they smell like oil.
Being from Tennessee all my life Geodes and Agate are everywhere. Probably the most common stones aside from " Indian money." Nearly any river ir creek you can find some sort of gemstones and contrary to popular belief gold is in way more than just Coker creek. You can find it also in Hickman County by Duck River and Morgan and Dry creeks, I've panned there successfully many many times
Thanks for the video. My fiance and I are new to rockhounding and camping, so I am digging😅 this series.
Awesome, love this series. I was just on a road trip and wanted to know what gym mining in the states I was driving through.
1:53 Limestone is also basic because it's mostly calcium carbonate! 😂
I didn't know you were doing this series. Awesome!
Great video James, thank you!
I am looking forward to Pennsylvania, for reasons of I live there!
This is a really cool series, James, and I appreciate the huge amount of research that must go into each video. 😁
are you going to do episode on North Carolina?
WTH took you so long?! And don't give me any excuses either! 🙃✌️
Only 6 months? Really?? Geez its like you have a life or something 🙄
😂
I had to look up blue calcite. Pretty! And that purple one from The Elmswood blah blah blah mine had that gorgeous blue when you held it to the sun! I'm always stunned with what cameras CAN pickup. Loved it as always Rockdaddy!
Really nice music and good visuals. chefs kiss!
Love this! Thank you!
Did you sat Celestite? 🤔
I loved this ❤ ! Horse Mountain is in my hometown. Thank you for putting this together.
I love that states have their own ‘state fossils’ that’s so rad.
Awsome!!! I can't wait for Virginia's!!!
Great video!
Very Interesting❤❤
Thank you!
Ben Lomond like Loch Lomond? Think that's only the second time ever I've heard 'Lomond' (first being the Scotish location). Weird both occurred June of this year to boot.
Though I'm now debating if I'm morbidly curious enough to look up how freshwater/river pearls are formed, nicely done, good balance of info imo as someone who's never been to TN.
(Thanks for spelling out the fossil name, and I got both the 30m warning and on time notifs btw)
Cool!
This will be cool
OK, so I saw the time earlier today and was so mad because I thought I missed the premier. So I came to watch it, got all sorts of confused then finally saw the date. 🤦🏻♀️
I'll be here all week folks 😂
