04:51 Does look like a coral or even a big sea lily crinoid. Pretty cool. I’m glad you decided to notify a museum about it.

Wow! And there you were thinking you hadn't found anything interesting just a couple of minutes before! An amazing find! And, indeed, as Gaelic Warrior pointed out below: just think of the number of people who just walked straight past it, either not thinking of fossils at all, or believing it to just be a huge chunk of fossilised wood. Such a lucky find, man! :D

Hahhaah I thought it was petrified wood at first as well 😁 and then a dolphin skull, but third time lucky on the ID! I might try and compare it with some other ones that have been found around New Zealand.

Congrats! A skull is always special but this is a really nice find, being of such a humongous specimen of this species. Must have roamed the oceans for many many years. That unknown thing embedded in the rock wall is very intriguing. It really does look like some sort of coral or organism that grew on the ocean floor. And huge, whatever it is.

2:30 3 of those stones have stuff in them. But they're probably too small to have something worth the effort. 3:40 is a kitty bone. The ulna to be more specific. 3:57 looks straight out of a Star Trek TOS set :)) 5:12 whatever it is, it clearly has a spiral or at least concentric structure at the bottom, might be worth excavating. (edit: or not, you took the wiser option). Congrats on the skull!!!

I have some very beautiful fossils I found while I lived in texas and a full clam shell with the ridges on both sides. Yours don’t look as old as ones I have . Somewhere in my yard there is a fish head. I would see people all the time picking at rocks for fossils . Now that she’ll is a good one. I bet if you go through those rocks you’ll find a lot. I’ve always had a good eyed for fossils. I wanted to spend my life digging for dinosaurs. I still love them to this day. Just sit me in a area like that and watch what I find.

Everybody congrats You on this beautiful skull, but what I find most beautiful in all Your videos, including this, is how You treat all fossils. These shells that You carefully clean with brush, leaving all sediment that is not necessary to remove, using consolidant to strengthen Your finds, Your experiments with new techniques of preparation, and so on. What I don't like in most of fossil related channels is how people treat fossils. They rush to the site, crash every concretions they find, often destroying fossils, and rushing back home with what was not destroyed by them. That is why I don't follow lot of channels. As to opposite, in Your hunts there is always carefulness, there is no unnecessary rush, if You don't know, or are not sure what is inside, You almost always take it home to examine it in controllable environment, and if You have to break something on site, and doing it You crush something valuable , You take it home to glue it back. Respect! As for this skull btw, it actually is really great.

Thanks for the great message Artur. I try not to break something open without good reason. I still make mistakes and break stuff, luckily fossils glue back together quite well! And once you realize that most fossils have some kind of repair work done to them, you don't feel so bad for having to fix something.

HI MATE..THAT SKULL! WHAT AN ABSOLUTELY AMAZING RANDOM DISCOVERY..I KNOW THAT THE EXPERTS IN CANTERBURY HAVE IDENTIFIED IT AS A SPECIES OF 'BILL FISH '..BUT THAT LARGE EYE SOCKET..AND THE BROADNESS OF THE SKULL,AND THE SWEEPING TAPERING..I'D HAVE GUESSED AT AN ICHYTHEOSAUR...BUT I'M NO EXPERT..SO PLEASED FOR YOU..BRILLIANT!

Dude! I miss being able to watch your vids. I’ve gotten busy lately but man. Seriously, I love going on the hunts with you brother. It’d be a dream to do my first fossil hunt with you one day. Once that trans-tasman bubble gets going. Sendin ya mega much love brother. You’re doing frickin awesome man. But obviously of course. Your vids are easy and pleasant to watch. Seriously.
