Sifting for fossil shark teeth in New Zealand

[@1mmickk]

I do not think there is a happier man in the world than you.

[@MamlamboFossils]

Hahahaha awesome! When I'm fossil hunting I am in my happy place 😀

[@peterlarsen7779]

That large stone immediately behind the one you took home - at 7:04 - 7:26 - is split and has IMO an interesting impression that looks like a huge hand with long fingers...

[@riverranger8226]

Your videos are an instant day brightener. Your infectious positive attitude and curiosity are contagious. Thankyou for what you do!

[@OzoneFineArtVentures]

Thanks for bringing us along for a premiere, that was fun. Great to hear that you went back and may have found more of the skull. Hopefully a video to come. That was the cutest shark tooth I think I've seen. Cheers!

[@MamlamboFossils]

It is a cool little tooth! At least it wasn't all for nothing!

[@EmbraceTheJourney]

why does it not shock me that you could have left the beach with a simple bucket of beach stuff, but you managed to take with you a 100 pound fossil rock. The true fossil hunter!!!

[@MamlamboFossils]

Hahahha I knew I couldn't leave it behind 🤣🤣🤣

[@billrobbins5874]

Your passion for fossils really shows if your willing to carry that much. The tooth and shells looked nice under the microscope.

[@khamullordoftheeastelings390]

You look out for sharks yet in the process you attract the attention of cetaceans :O. Jokes aside every trip you make is sooo interesting, the suspense and the fact that you never know what you will find and whatever you find makes every video worth watching to the end :).

[@MamlamboFossils]

Ah thanks mate! Thats super encouraging to hear that! 😀

[@khamullordoftheeastelings390]

@@MamlamboFossils I would like to meet you in person, because I would like to make fossil hunting (when I get to NZ) a hobby :)

[@gardeneroflight]

You need to be sifting down around Venice beach in Florida. Buckets of small shark teeth. The sandbars off the shore usually have the bigger ones. Of course, you can find big specimens throughout the state if you know where to look. Good luck in all your outings! Stay safe.

[@MamlamboFossils]

Ill have to make a trip to the states one day for sure!

[@quietone748]

I've been there and found about 40 shark teeth in good condition within 15 minutes. But I'm not able to find whale skulls :)

[@skoitch]

Would love to see a few hours of prep on one of those skulls. I’d watch that twice a week!

[@MamlamboFossils]

Ill give it a go, maybe not this specific one but I have one in mind 😀

[@Autumn-hu9sx]

Ahh dang! I saw the title and thought it was such a great idea, I thought for sure you'd find a few more treasures! Maybe not the most efficient method but definitely a cool new approach :)

[@jordonz555]

Careful fossicking under those cliffs this time of year buddy 🙏 I've attempted sifting in a few places around but never had any luck. Nice to see those teeth you discovered !

[@MamlamboFossils]

Yeah, i never got close to them. Too risky!

[@Lilith-Rose]

Sifting looking good so far, I usually use a second smaller guage classifier which removes the larger pebbles/gravel but is easily picked through quickly on site for the larger fossils, teeth and bones. It takes a little longer but I can leave the bulk of the material on the beach and just go through the smaller stuff at home since that's what usually takes the most time. It usually halves what you have to carry but doesn't add so much time that it isn't worth doing. Depends on personal preference more than anything though

[@savagesquirrel9828]

You are a madman….and so much fun to watch. MY back hurts just at the thought of carrying that Boulder up that cliff. You have an eagle eye for spotting fossils. There should be an Olympic event for stone hauling. You would have gold for sure!

[@MamlamboFossils]

Hahahah its like those Atlas stones on world's strongest man 🤣

[@Fred-zn5xh]

Your gonna run out of space for all of those skulls you find! Great video and premiere

[@Bluejillo]

You should do a tutorial on how you prep fossils! Id love to know what tools and techniques are involved.

[@centauri9458]

Tiny tooth but very nice, colors are great. A blown up picture in an 8x8 frame would look nice.

[@pretzeltime3900]

Oh i wished I were there with you. So many beautiful fossils just lying on the beach. And let’s appreciate the sounds of the surf and the beauty of it all. Thanks so much for sharing your treasure hunts with us. Wishig you the best, from Texas 🇺🇸

[@Snookie627]

Good for you! I'm sure enjoying your videos! Thanks for taking my with you!

[@MamlamboFossils]

Glad you like them!

[@sandmaker]

One tooth is better than none, but you did find bone. Yippi! Hope you find the rest. Be happy, safe and stay healthy 😷⚒

[@MamlamboFossils]

Thanks so much!

[@risflo_]

waking up to a fresh video, awesome. always keeping an eye out for the notification on the weekends.

[@cutepie383]

I love your channel. Thanks for sharing xx

[@MamlamboFossils]

My pleasure!!

[@GrandTreasureBay]

There was so much in this adventure!Woah, how complete do you think the whale skull is? And we're you able to tell if it was petrified wood? It sure looked like it! I dig your microscope set up and the close ups. Very nice! And good finds on the shark teeth, although it sounds like you spent a great deal of time on them.

[@MamlamboFossils]

I forgot to cut the wood! I'll drop it into the next video 😀 its not very complete yet, I'm missing most of the skull still. I've had some good luck today so will do an update video 🐳

[@mrgreeneggs6191]

awesome find sifting man, dont be dissenheartened by not finding much. just few cup fulls a material per adventure will give you a good idea of the micro fossils in the area. btw the ole kitchen strainer is easier to carry and use.

[@TreasureHuntingNana]

You are such a likeable man. I love watching your videos. There is just something very special about you :)

[@MamlamboFossils]

Thanks so much Tracey 😀

[@elmero.garcialll2503]

Big fan here!!! Hi it's me Elmer again I don't know but I jump to excitement everytime you got one (Fossil) god bless you!!

[@MamlamboFossils]

Yay!! Thanks Elmer!

[@sandraanderson217]

Love watching your videos! Thanks for taking us along! Stay safe

[@SAOS451316]

it would be interesting to catalogue every type of rock and shell in a given bucket of beach. a lot of work but maybe useful for environmental science lol

[@MamlamboFossils]

It would be! I have another site that I want to do that at 😀

[@JimmysGarden]

Great video as always. keep them coming 👍

[@pvtglarson1]

@7:01 you picked up what you thought was a skull but missed the rock behind it which looks like it is a footprint

[@Brittanysjoy]

Yep a nice bigfoot print . Good spotting

What was the black thing with the bumps on it lying next to the whale bone? Something interesting or just sea weed?

[@micktepolt6276]

We Really enjoy your documentaries , just thought i say hi from the Oregon coast U.S.

What is it about ear bones that makes them so sought after?

[@peopleddiagram2920]

Absolutely fascinating.

Kia Ora from Idaho, USA Love watching your videos.

[@MatthewBaran]

Love the finds my dude. We still gotta get you to Florida and find tons of teeth :]

[@grayhaven451]

Keep it up buddy. I think that I'd try sifting a little most times down there. Bound to find something amazing.

[@Rashuric]

you need to look into getting a Gorilla Carts Heavy-Duty Poly Yard Dump Cart amazon has them big wheels for rolling on the beach

[@lindalewis5066]

You keep finding those 100lb boulders to carry uphill & you won't have to worry about Winter weight gain! 😂 That's a lot of work for microscopic shark teeth. 👍❤️

[@MamlamboFossils]

Hahah so much work!!

[@ahmadmustolah499]

so touching for an excellent video

[@ElisA-mo6mj]

Seeing you carrying such heavy rocks you reminding me ATLAS in greek mythology .I wish you to have his strength for ever in your life to do things you like and love to share with us

[@jorrit.f]

Crazy that you found another piece of skull! Regarding the shark teeth, where and how would you find the bigger shark teeth? Also just by sifting?

[@MamlamboFossils]

I think I need to be in the right location, yes sifting will work for sure.

[@halenpeterson2322]

I would love to come to New Zealand and hunt for fossils, but it's just too expensive. Have you ever sold or considered selling any unprepared crab concretions?

[@halenpeterson2322]

Silly question on my part, I forgot about the shipping costs 😭

[@nicolapislor1665]

Super vos vidéos 👍🏻🏔⛏

[@AA-zc2jt]

Hi from Russia. I love your channel ❤ So charming man and beautiful nature you are always so cheerful, nice to watch. thanks for the great videos

[@josephcormier5974]

Very nice!! The sharks over there seems small or there baby's? Two thumbs

[@garypage9515]

You would go crazy on the beach in Venice Florida USA. You can sit there in the warm sand, and pick up a whole bag of shark teeth in a very short time period. No digging, no lugging, no sifting, just pick them out of the sand.

[@gregreeves2234]

Do you prep the whale bones or do you send them to a museum to prep?

[@MamlamboFossils]

I'm going to try and prep one myself

keep sifting,,, one day it will be there,,,, LOL Love the end theme' i always wait for it stay warm'' love from Oz oxoxoxoxo

[@TheOldladyB]

That whale skull is very interesting. But my back hurt just watching you carry it.

[@Whateverhasbeenmynameforyears]

You might look into who you might report the urchin to. I know they can be invasive some places. Hopefully is is not a sign of an invasive species coming in though. Thanks for your videos. :)

[@alexcuthbertson4946]

Is there any way you could identify a fossil for me I found it in New Zealand 🇳🇿

[@lujeancastleberry7310]

I would love to see your face when you find your penguin fossil good luck

[@ccccarriemchardy9216]

At least the cooler weather makes hiking easier, especially with all that weight.

[@TarnishedViking.]

Sweet!

[@alexandermelchers1497]

I don't think that was such a bad hunt, even if most of your sifted finds were shells... Not if I compare it with the material I'm going through now :P Sure, the result may be crocodile teeth of up to 5 mm tall for a crown (although I've only once found a rooted specimen). You said you took two hours to find the sharks' teeth? Try four hours of digging per bucket and then a day per bucket in addition breaking open marl in order to find two to three crocodile teeth per bucket ;) And I'm not even speaking about the skull! Wow, the way you just keep finding those!

Some segments in the video are stamped not adjacent to each other

[@quietone748]

I think the next time you want to try finding shark teeth successfully, you need to say out loud "I'm looking for whale skulls". Reverse psychology :)

[@MotoLego]

Look for small bits, find a massive chunk!

[@campbellmcgrannachan3859]

Theres no way u found another piece by straight up accident??????
