My best fossil finds of 2024 - new footage

[@gemhuntmx]

I wish I could be like you and have my own workshop to restore fossils. I have watched your videos several times and have learned from them. Keep it up, I wish you much success in 2025.

[@Big_Renfrew]

You shop is really well done. As is your best of 2024. Thanks!🇨🇦

[@billrobbins5874]

Congratulations, looking very nice. Should be most interesting for the children to see what they may be able to find in there local area. ♥️

[@lilianfowler7988]

My goodness how your work has grown. So happy.

I stumbled across this channel as a fellow Kiwi, subscribed when numbers were in the hundreds. Highpoint was that giant Marlin skull that killed the little red trolley. You have a hell of a positive future ahead. Get up to the North Island, there are Grey Wacke cliffs with large concretions hanging out.

[@MamlamboFossils]

@@stevecorrigan5139 it's been quite the journey! I'll have to make a visit to the North at some point

[@rickross2709]

Love your new fossil space, so important for people to see and interact with fossils!!

[@BayAreaMotorcycleCommuting]

This channel really sparked my interest in fossils last year. I've since found several partial samples of "scutellaster interlineatus" (basically just an extinct species of sand dollar) at my local beach during low tide - absolutely fascinating. No idea how to prep them, but thank you so much @Mamlambo for keeping the childhood curiosities alive! Looking forward to 2025

[@MamlamboFossils]

@@BayAreaMotorcycleCommuting that is so awesome! I'd love to see a photo of the sand dollar if you can email it to me! I'm so stoked the channel got you back into it!!

[@mirkatu3249]

That was a fun look back at 2024! Hope you find many more fossils this year! 🙂

[@pierretripotin2787]

I have followed you from France for a wile yet, and am amazed to see the diversity of fossils you have excavated, from beautiful crabs at the beginning, to turtle, penguin, fish, wale, and now reptile bones ! Go on !

[@MamlamboFossils]

Now just to find some true dino bones!

[@grendelgrendelsson5493]

I really enjoy your videos. I've hunted for fossils all over the UK from north to south and my children caught the bug from me! Rather unfortunately I sustained a spinal injury which has put an end to my expeditions, but your videos allow me to participate in your adventures in a country that I would never have been able to visit. Thank you very much for your enthusiasm and your wonderful content.

[@MamlamboFossils]

Thanks so much for coming along on my fossil journeys!!

[@D989501L]

Hi Mornay. Left home in Suffolk 2am and now fixing a machine in Canturbury UK saw video and it dawned on me? Small world 😁. Nice video. Regards Richard 🇬🇧

[@MamlamboFossils]

Hahahah awesome! It is a small world, especially the fossil world!

[@janicescragg2388]

Wow. You've had quite the epic year. The museum looks fantastic. The fact that people are allowed to touch the fossils is fantastic. It somehow makes them more 'real' when you can touch them. I used to do art for a dinosaur store in Drumheller Alberta in Canada, and the owner of the store was a paleontologist. He had just collected a complete Pachycephalosaurus skull, and I had just delivered an etched relief carving of the same dinosaur. A definite coincidence. I was shocked at how small it was. It fit in the palm of my hands. It didn't stay there for long , I was terrified of dropping it. Lol. The dinosaur would have been about the size of a large dog. I had envisioned them more like horse sized. Funny how we think of dinosaurs as bigger than life. Having had the privilege to hold the skull of a creature that was millions of years old was the experience of a lifetime one I shall cherish forever. This is what you are doing with your interactive museum. I predict many upcoming young paleontologists in our near future because of all of your hard work. Thank you for that.

[@jasonflay8818]

Hey man thank you. Its been a tough couple of years, world, national, personal, and when it gets too much your videos help put me in a happy space. Can't wait to see where your adventures take you this year.

[@MamlamboFossils]

Ah, I hope things get better for you!

[@freethinkradio]

It WAS a great 2024.. And Ihope your 2025 is even BETTER! I love all the work you do and share. Best of luck in the new year :)

[@KrisPSouls9258]

I love all the fossils you find and watching how you prep them. My buddy in Arizona had a good summer he found a prehistoric crocodile turtles and a nice chunk of a Triceratops skull. I'm hoping I get to go out there in spring or summer.

[@MamlamboFossils]

Sounds like a great summer for your buddy! I hope you get to go fossil hunting soon.

[@kirsiselei8703]

Thank you for the video. Allways a pleasure to watch ❤

[@dud3655]

If I lived anywhere close to a fossil bed, I don't think I'd be doing anything else except digging, I might just start digging in my backyard and hope for a mammoth. There hasn't been a deep soil survey made on my property, I know where all the pipes and such are besides I'm digging over former plowed land.

[@pjbth]

I just found your channel i love your energy you are just a big kid hunting for fossils with the resources of an adult. Cool stuff man.

[@MamlamboFossils]

Living my fossil hunting dream!

[@taleandclawrock2606]

[@kenallison9119]

[@am01am]

you can prep around the bones first on the big rock plesiosaur you have. don't cut with the saw just yet.

[@MamlamboFossils]

I'll do that!

[@brianjohnson3974]

[@MamlamboFossils]

Thanks Linus!

[@casparvandenbussche6145]

Great video! That spinosaur tooth at 11:35 looks like a misidentified giant sabre-toothed herring (Enchodus) from Morocco?

[@MamlamboFossils]

It could well be!

[@josephcormier5974]

[@sandmaker]

It looked like a good year for you. I love that you share so much and your lectures are informative and entertaining. Be happy, safe and stay healthy. 😊⚒️

[@MamlamboFossils]

Thanks, it was a fun year!

[@1mmickk]

Something that big would be good for the kids that visit to chip away at and one day there is a fossil that all the kids helped prep.

[@ralsharp6013]

My children had a crack at it at the Melbourne museum! They had all the tools labelled and several people teaching and guiding 😊

[@MamlamboFossils]

Some kids have started removing the softer rock as well!

[@rwild9356]

Awesome work!!

[@billybobwombat2231]

Nice, thank you 🙂

[@pjbth]

I bet he was stoked to move some fossils. will you invite him back to see them cleaned?

[@MamlamboFossils]

Definitely!!

[@elenaperez2569]

Grandiosas muestras de fáciles ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@NuclearArcticFox]

Mamlambo and Taskmaster NZ is the combination I didn't expect to see. I knew that Jeremy's popular in NZ but for me he is only the host of TM 😀

[@jodavis650]

I love all of it ❤

[@erichlanger5225]

love your channel!

[@MamlamboFossils]

Thank you so much!!

[@stone_-_man]

Very very good nice ❤❤❤

[@wiliewilson1214]

30 years ago that was the waikuku school assembly hall and the wee room out back was the sport gear lock up good to see it all repurposed.

[@MamlamboFossils]

That's so awesome! I didn't know that was the sports gear room :)

[@scottsluggosrule4670]

Found a fossil dolphin bone on the beach in SE New Jersey (USA) ..was on a beach that had recently been refurbished with sand from a mile off the coast. Actually found another fossil nearby that one but have not been able to ID it yet.

[@MamlamboFossils]

That sounds like a great place for fossils!

[@PaleoDutch]

Definitly some killer finds!

[@lilianfowler7988]

Lol first fossil . . . was wondering if it would fit in your backpack.

[@Doxymeister]

🥰💯👍

[@That_bad_crustgam3r]

How much do the geology courses cost?

[@MamlamboFossils]

They are about $1000 per semester
