[@jaynehorn151]

It’s been a wonderful year watching you find the hidden treasures of the past and watching them being exposed through your diligent air scribing. Thank you for all you do.

[@nofrackingzone7479]

Those crabs looked like they were a taste treat at one time:)

[@jlj209]

I am absolutely enthralled by the fossilized specimens you find. Keep up the good work.

[@billrobbins5874]

Awesome finds and meticulous work. Happy New Year to you and your family. May 2022 be as good or even better than 2021 fossil hunting.

[@scyzorpl]

The Crab looked amazing :o

[@Jex2112]

I like watching these videos at night and falling asleep, the combination of his voice and the ocean waves, never fail to calm my mind for bed 😊

[@blythewarland6688]

I am simply awe inspired by your channel, getting to NZ (hopefully 2022) and getting to visit you

[@MamlamboFossils]

Thanks so much Blythe!

[@Cheggley45]

Wow, what cool discoveries! I worked as an archeologist when I was younger, but your paleo work is astonishing!!

[@sheckyfeinstein]

The finished product is so fascinating. It’s hard for us regular joes to appreciated the work that precedes the prize.

[@leenorthcutt8421]

You never fail to astonish me with your Keen Eye and Amazing skill. Your fossil prep is an art form! Happy New Year!

[@MamlamboFossils]

Wow, thank you!

[@teresahepplewhite9828]

Absolutely great fossil finds this year. But, by far my favourite was the finding and prep of the shark tooth. It was amazing how it just slid out of its surrounding rock with such ease. All the best for 2022.

[@drmartinyoung3761]

Wishing you all the best! Happy hunting!

[@MamlamboFossils]

Thanks so much for everyone's support in 2021 - it's been quite the year! I can't wait to see what we find and learn in 2022! Hope you're all having a great holiday season. I uploaded a new rockhound video if you're looking for something else to watch: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gIvZhpeCnKyLY9U

Do you have an eBay store?

[@AA-69]

Are you using tungsten carbide tipped bits on your Dremel. ?

[@MamlamboFossils]

@@AA-69 they are tungsten carbide tips but not on a dremel, on an air scribe.

[@calessel3139]

Your finds are so cool! And your prepping is excellent!

[@ironmyno]

Finding the other pieces is flipping miracle!!!

[@MamlamboFossils]

I know!!! I was really surprised I found so many of them!

[@chubbrock659]

Thanks for sharing all of your finds with us, it’s amazing to see you being able to assemble a fossil that’s normal people would never even look at twice! Have a happy new year!

[@sandmaker]

Wow those were amazing. I like the tooth, but i like Crabzilla the best. What a monster!. Thank you for taking time out of your life and sharing the terriffic finds with us. Be happy, safe and stay healthy!

[@daningrim475]

A great year yes with all your finds--but the biggest thrill for me in watching your videos is how much fun you're having finding them!

[@impunitythebagpuss]

Love watching your adventures! Keep up great work!

[@MamlamboFossils]

Thanks so much!!

[@ChevTecGroup]

That crab is outstanding. These are something you should be very proud of

[@LeonCreatorwithLeonHills]

Superb range of finds for 2021 - can't wait to see what you get in 2022. Your prep work is beautiful & your knowledge of what is in a rock with hardly anything showing is incredible. Keep it up!

[@saschapulkowski4413]

I really like that you stop chipping when you do to make a great presentation. I myself would have gone further and probably mucked it up. Kudos for your keen eye and patience. 👌

[@betojdesigns]

Happy holidays Mamlambo. I hope you and your family are doing well. Thank you for all the videos this year.

[@sarejen6868]

I would say that you had a great year of Fossil hunting, preparing them, the excitement of the find! Besides sharing your finds with academic pros in identifying them , possibly expanding the knowledge of the paleontology/geological past. Great year! Best to you and Family, all your Viewers too. Have an excellent upcoming New Year!! 🥳💥💫🌟🎉

[@MamlamboFossils]

Thanks so much SareJen! It's been an awesome year and next year will only be better! Thanks for all your support, you've been one of my most regular commenters / viewers!

[@elber313]

1d1ot do you still believe in this 💩? Fossils are elaborated by humans. So innocent congratulating those cheaters.

[@matthewdukes3207]

Just. Wow. Incredibly jealous of the diversity of finds you guys get in Zealandia. Here's to hoping we see a penguin here in 2022!!🙏👍

[@MamlamboFossils]

It has to be out there somewhere!

[@dessexjones4625]

Awesome! Some great hunting and prepping. Good year and all the best for 2022!

[@Rookie_Rockounding]

Dude…. Seriously wow! I’m loving the recap of the finds from this year brother. The ones where you found the other missing pieces is nuts! But holy what!?… you found a plesiosaurus vertebrae!? Dude how much did your inner kid go nuts when finding that!!!!!! Still watching but had to comment when I saw that. It’s crazy rad!!!

[@Rookie_Rockounding]

Okay just finished and dude the mega crab! What a monster but also what a specimen! I like how you said, “I was worried I didn’t have enough fossils for a top 10” haha! Dude I had the same thought about my recap vid this year. It’s been hard with restrictions but looking back, I was even more stoked than I thought I would be. Happy new year mate. I don’t get to watch as much videos as I’d like but I love seeing what you’ve accomplished, and have yet to. Love your work man. Just always love your work 👊 here’s to 2022!!!! Kia Ora brother!

Amazing. I love the crab at no.1.but that huge vertebrae is my favourite. I have visions of you scattering all the prep dust n rock chips like the Great Escape movie around you garden. 😂😂

Vertebra is singular, vertebrae is plural :)

You always seem to get some awesome fossils, I don’t always comment as I know sweet bugger all about fossils but I do enjoy watching you bring those fossils out of their encasements. I hope you had an enjoyable Christmas & New Year & Wishing you a great 2022. Keep Safe & Keep Rockin.

Thanks mate! I appreciate the great feedback 🦍

An amazing year full of amazing finds... Maybe one year I could buy one of your fossils.. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and your family

[@melgillham462]

Happy New Year brother! I was so proud when you found the shark tooth, I know you've wanted to for so long. And finding out it's possibly a ground breaking find topped it off. It's all amazing to me though, congrats on a phenomenal year. May this next be doubly rewarding. 🤝👍

[@MamlamboFossils]

Thanks bro!!! I was really happy with that tooth and its found a place in a local museum so it's adding some scientific value 😄

I learned that Michaelangelo would go into the marble quarry and find his master piece in the marble. He stated that he freed the image that was within the marble. This reminds me of his description of how he worked. Makes his work seem even more devine.
