I really love when you go "see that thing over there?" and give us some time to try to find the fossil ourselves before actually showing us where it is. Very educative (especially because the places where I'm usually looking for fossils are from completely different geological periods than this beach, so I wouldn't know how to spot them here otherwise!)

I really love your channel. It takes me right back to my own winter fossil crab hunting days along the beaches of England. I'm scheduled for an urgent prostate cancer operation on Armistice Day, 11.11.11! When I recover, a fossil hunt along a beach is one of the first things I'll do. BTW... "Do lobsters have scales?" made me smile. Answer? No, but If it helps, a segmented abdominal carapace. ATB.

Nice ! Everytime you were stopping to admire a huge rock with a fossile inside i was thinking "oh no, he won't break his back by taking this one home !". I hope you will show what the lobster looks like undigged.

When you're pointing out the crap who else was looking at the dark stone with the white highlights in the upper right and I couldn't tell the difference between a regular rock and a fossil for sure
@Narwli5 күн бұрын
I am just simply amazed how much fossils could be on this part of the NZ beach. I tried fossil hunting on shores of the Baltic sea and they were nowhere near as big or cool as shown in your video. It just could be geographical or historical differences and maybe I didn't find the right spots.

After you picked up the crab at 3:14 , in the upper left I saw a pinkish what looks like an arrowhead. I'm not sure from the video but here in the US that would certainly be an artifact.

So with those really large fossils, how are they extracted? Can machinery access the beach to remove them for the museum?
@MamlamboFossils5 күн бұрын
I think the only way would be a large helicopter but the cost and effort probably doesn't justify it in this case as it won't tell us very much about the animal without the other part of the skull and the earbones.

Hello Mamlambo. Asking you a question from over the pond in Victoria, Australia. What kind of geology do you find all these fossils in, and do you know of anywhere within Victoria which has this kind of geology? I would love to go fossil hunting here in my home state, yet I am worried that the vast volcanic origin of the state could hinder my efforts. So, as the only fossil hunter I know of even remotely close to here, do you know any tips to find these kind of places/know of any within my home state. No offence to NZ, but I don’t want to have to book a 3hr flight just to come and look at some rocks, which may (or may not) contain fossils. Thanks, an Aussie.

I wonder how the permit process is where he lives. Round my parts multiple glacier movements some 910m-1,800m thick seem to have ground most of the upper layers of ground near me into an unsorted mishmash of pulverized rock shards and boulders. Not a lot of good areas for fossil hunting, even ignoring the permit process. It seems surreal to me, to grow up as a kid in an area where nuggets of ancient beasts hide in rocks along the beach or streams.
