Exploring 3 rivers, prepping 2 fossil teeth [Fossil Hunt and Fossil Prep]

I explored 3 different rivers over the course of a weekend and found a nice assortment of fossils and even an artifact!
I'll get the petrified wood polished up in my rock tumbler and we can see how it turns out.
If you know what tooth the hastalis looking one is, please let me know!

Never leave a fossil behind lol! Still great finds. Have a sheet of some of the shark teeth from the Maryland site...one day i need to lable and mount.

That artifact was a different kind of find! 😎😁 I always enjoy your videos. I learn so much and watching your prep work with that 6th sense of yours is impressive. 👍❤️

[@MamlamboFossils]

Ah thanks Linda! I always appreciate your comments!

sweet and the petrified wood is always one of my favs

[@MamlamboFossils]

I love finding it as well!

[@scootermom1791]

Same!

[@sandmaker]

What a fun trip. I'm glad you found bi valves and shells everywhere, a bit of petrified wood, AND a shark tooth. Not the best tooth, but a tooth none the less. Keep having fun and getting out when the work and weather let's you.😊 😷⚒

[@MamlamboFossils]

Thanks so much!! It's always good to get out and about!

[@TylerDollarhide]

You leaving the vertebra kills me. I would kill to find bone like that! In northeast Texas, I only ever find shell fossils, and never have found bone.

[@MamlamboFossils]

If it was a super diagnostic bone I would have taken it to the museum but hopefully someone else will also find it and enjoy it 😁

[@ethan5.56]

I went to a creek in Texas on the side of the highway littered with thousands of ammonites. The gravel was full of them

I appreciate that you are so thoughtful and deliberate about what you take home from your hunts instead of hoarding or smashing open every potential find. Really enjoyed the microscopic views at the end! Thank you for sharing!

Means alot to watch your videos, it's what I love doing most of all, and comes in handy especially in those times where you can't get out onto the rivers, beaches and cliffsides. Much appreciated 👍 🦈 🦴 🌴

I'm surprised that you didn't try to break off the vertebrae from the rest of the stone thank you for the prep on the shark teeth this has been a very enjoyable video six stars brother

[@MamlamboFossils]

I'll leave that for the next person to find, I have a few vertebrae already!

[@cashcat4lyfe822]

We found so many great rocks and fossils on lake Huron in Canada this past weekend. The best one was a star chrinoid stem and so many corals. I would love to find a bone or tooth. Great video!

[@MamlamboFossils]

That is awesome! Sounds like you have a great place to find fossils!

[@brucetaylor2887]

We have so many rocks with shells in and try as I might I've still never found a tooth in Whanganui area. I've seen plenty from others and my day will come.

[@MamlamboFossils]

They are out there!

Very cool micro view you added to show us more detail, can you do more on your other fossils, especially the crabs?

[@MamlamboFossils]

I'll add it to the flow

[@KarenUntz]

Very nice finds! That coral would take forever to uncover!

[@MamlamboFossils]

Yeah it would! Apprently it's best to make thin sections of it to ID it

If you have been around for 66 million years you've earned those cracks! Neat to think of what it was nibbling on when it lost this tooth? Beautiful tooth.

Not sure how I feel about the more artistic videos you're creating I've been a subscriber for a while and I very much enjoy your content, if you enjoy creating this artistic content, by all means continue but if it's extra work and you're doing it just for us, I for one don't think it is worth the extra effort. Thank you for your hard work and great content. ❤

What do you mean by the more artistic video? Genuinely curious to know

[@trilobite3120]

I Really appreciate seeing someone exploring the various fossil sites of NZ. Our fossils often get underappreciated. Speaking of which, have you ever been to Reefton? There's a bunch of cool Devonian stuff there (stromatoporoids, Crinoids, apparently the occasional orthocone, and even placoderm and acanthodian fragments). I think I remember you receiving a stromatoporoid piece from there in one of your videos so I'm going to guess you are aware of it.

[@MamlamboFossils]

I have only driven through, I haven't stopped and looked for fossils but someone from the Canterbury Mineral and Lapidary Club did give me some nice fossils from there. We have such cool fossils here in New Zealand - probably some of the best cetacean and penguins in the world!

[@MamlamboFossils]

I'd love to learn more about the Reefton fossils, if you have any papers etc please email me: [e-mail]

[@trilobite3120]

@@MamlamboFossils Our Bird fossils (including the amazing penguins) are reasonably popular, especially the moa and Haast's eagle. Kaiwhekea has had an appearance in path of titans and Jurassic world the game, but I still hope that more of our amazing fossils will get more recognition.

[@sebastiandlt9514]

Nice vid, I learned a couple of things, thank you. I am not really familiar with this entire field, but have always been curious of how they just end up in rock formations?

[@MamlamboFossils]

It's usually mud that gets turned into a sedimentary rock through pressure, chemical reaction or other factors. Sometimes they form round concretions around the fossil as well, kinda like a natural cement.

[@sebastiandlt9514]

@@MamlamboFossils Thank you! I'll go binge watch your other videos now...

When are you going to come to the USA to do a crossover with digging science? Haha great video as always

[@MamlamboFossils]

That would be so awesome! I could maybe find some meg teeth finally!

[@Williams63]

I live in a part of Denmark, where I can find trilobits, but to find them, I have to crack stones open, which means, that sometimes the fossil can split into 2 pcs. What can I use, for glueing the stoneparts back together again, so I can prep them from the outside? The stones are a red limestone called Öland limestone. Thank you in advance.

[@MamlamboFossils]

Sorry, I missed your comment. I think CA glue will work but ask around on Facebook as I'm not sure what will work on a trilobite.
