Fossil hunting in New Zealand - forams under the new microscope (microfossils)

[@trexvalleygirl2770]

I'm loving the new microscope, too. Do you display the tiny fossils? Funny, I never thought of fossils to be that small. You have expanded my thinking, Sir.

[@MamlamboFossils]

I will show how I mount them! It's quite satisfying 😃

[@lilianfowler7988]

@@MamlamboFossils Thank you.

[@largent45]

Wow, looking at the forams under the microscope was so cool and when you can find and see something as small as a fish ear bone, that is amazing! Im loving the new microscope too! Its incredible the pictures you can get with it now! And the crab you picked up, that was already partially exposed from the tide, and had those colors on it was so cool!. that a fun one to leave as is! So much good stuff around! And when you can get excited over a crab, after all the crabs you have done, is amazing! Your love and passion for the work you are doing is so infectious! I love fossils and to see you have the patience and skill to slowly chip away at these fossils in these big concrete prison that they have been in for millions of years, is breath taking! You are amazing! Thank you and don't get too lost in that micro world. There is a penguin counting on you to set it free!

[@MamlamboFossils]

Ahhh your comment made my day! Thanks so much for being so supportive! I'm excited about the videos I will be able to share with the microscope. Heheheh that penguin and I will be seeing each other this evening!

[@johnpayne2465]

Hope you are fully recovered. Glad you're back!

[@MamlamboFossils]

Thanks so much John!

[@Thorstein31]

Congratulations on the new kit! Bet you couldn't wait to start playing with it!

[@MamlamboFossils]

I couldn't! It took ages to get it all assembled because I kept needing new adapters!

[@wendyharper2154]

Hi Morne Good to see you on the mend. Loving the new microscope and camera. Wendy

[@MamlamboFossils]

Thanks so much Wendy!

[@ianstewartbrown5308]

So missed your videos, glad you're back up and running and feeling well

[@MamlamboFossils]

Thanks so much Ian! I'm feeling much better now!

[@whatevergable]

Nice one Morne - looking forward to seeing more of the new scope! I did initially read the title as 'forearms under the microscope' haha

[@MamlamboFossils]

hahahaha that would be a cool video as well! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@craigdickinson8247]

Great video as allways, I love how all fossil get attention not just the big things. The forams are cool.

[@MamlamboFossils]

I know, right?! I really like those tiny forams!

[@craigdickinson8247]

@@MamlamboFossils when are you planning a trip back to the river with the cretaceous fossils and a agates again.

[@daz6372]

Thank you for the video, looking forward to the new microscope content.

[@MamlamboFossils]

Thanks so much Darren!

[@spikewillow4552]

Nice new tool for sure ! Hope your good

[@elizanth9782]

You by yourself are a portable x ray machine when you find crabs inside the rocks .Haha hello from Greece

[@MamlamboFossils]

That would be awesome!!

[@BrusselsFossils]

You're always producing top content and you inspire me a lot, this was another great video

[@MamlamboFossils]

Thanks so much mate! I really appreciate your kind comment, it makes me want to make more videos!

[@1stladydjfirebird724]

New microscope?! So cool!! 🤩 Any plans to go back and look at certain specimens with the higher magnification?

[@MamlamboFossils]

That's the plan! I have so much to do still!

[@susanwoodson7727]

That is so awesome!

[@MamlamboFossils]

Thanks Susan!

[@Wildflower-xe8sn]

Very cool thanks for sharing ✌

Thanks for watching!

* New Microscope is Wonderful. Thanks for the photos..

[@MamlamboFossils]

Glad you like them!

[@gaylescovel7308]

Wow! Just Wow!

[@MamlamboFossils]

Thanks so much Gayle!

[@addish5022]

Foraminifera are very useful for biostratigraphy. I live in an area with a lot of Carboniferous fossils and I’m planning to prep a bunch of limestone and shale I’ve collected to look for conodonts.

[@MamlamboFossils]

Very cool! Conodonts are found in one or two places in New Zealand and I would LOVE to find one myself!

[@MobileOutdoor]

Awesome video. I have a big pecten bivalve fossil and it’s probably one of my favorite pieces. I hope yours looks just as good.

[@MamlamboFossils]

Thanks so much! It looks to be pretty complete!

[@MobileOutdoor]

@@MamlamboFossils great to hear

[@cptnkaos5994]

Another great video

[@MamlamboFossils]

Thanks mate!!

[@patifagan6774]

Excellent

[@valiantwarrior4517]

Glad to hear you are feeling better. Your voice still sounds a bit rough. Don’t overdo it too much! Thanks for another fun adventure. 🙂

[@MamlamboFossils]

Thanks! Yeah, voice is still on the mend but getting there 😁

[@josephcormier5974]

Excellent scope great video how goes the penguin? Thanks for sharing five stars brother

[@MamlamboFossils]

I didn't prep the penguin while I was ill, I couldn't wear the respirator as I was coughing too much! I'll start it up again tonight!

[@kareno8634]

HI! You crossed my my the other day, hadn't kept up, Sorry to hear you were sick. The BEACH Always does One Good! Oh, Love those Crabs!! Cool Microscope, used them at work. I'm jealous, tiny creatures are a favorite. @ 2:44 > to *Left, What's that Rock* with 'scales'? 8 ) look of 'Palm' trunk, Large Armadillo, Glyptodon [prehistoric] or Macroeuphractus - Carnivorous Armadillo or .... (dinosaur with scaled ball at tail end) - Euoplocephalus - in Canada. {{sigh}} search found - 'Moeraki boulders', Nope. This is Different. Glyptodon?? =\

[@loganstrong9874]

Rock with Scales was a crab ,or what was left of the carapace .Mambo is mostly looking at Miocene site's. New Zealand fossil sites are mostly marine and Miocene .New Zealand has had only about eleven dinosaur bones found ,most from the Chatham islands off New Zealand. The dinosaur bones have being single fragments only .

[@MamlamboFossils]

That's a septarian type concretion, the cracks get filled in with calcite,it does look like something prehistoric. Thanks for the awesome comment Karen!!

[@kiwibonsai2355]

I remember finding heaps of fossils in Gisborne at Tītīrangi Hill as a kid over 40 years ago.

[@Whateverhasbeenmynameforyears]

2:45 What is going on with the boulder in the background?

[@aureaphilos]

Awesome that you've got that new scope! I too just bought a trinocular (binocular + camera aperture) last month, and I'm working my way thru my collection. Such fun! And I've identified new microminerals I never new were there. Where did you buy your camera??

[@bobm5500]

Good microscope , have you finished the Penguin ?

[@MamlamboFossils]

no ways! I probably need 3 or more months still!

[@dinodan7770]

I am thinking of visiting the South Island next year what places would you recommend for fossil hunting

[@MamlamboFossils]

Sounds like sandstone? People find bits of ocean bottom all the time so it could be!
