Unboxing 60 year old fossil collection and a new 3D printer

[@diann546]

I just recently purchased a rock collection at an estate sale. It was Christmas for days, going through it. It still is so vast, that I will be identifying for a while. I went from no trilobites to an entire swarm. There are many ferns, mollusks, crystals, petrified wood, minerals agates, rocks, shells, on and on. I have an awesome plate of a school of fish! Best Christmas present ever!

[@MamlamboFossils]

Ooooh that sounds like an incredible collection!! You are very fortunate!!

[@mikepetrucha2774]

That was like opening presents Christmas morning.

Great video Mamlambo love the new printer Merry Christmas to you and your Family ✌️ Napa California

[@MamlamboFossils]

Merry Christmas to you too!! 🎄

[@micah06v8]

That was very kind of them to donate their collection. I do think the rock at 18:20 is a thunderegg. Spirit Rock Shop has some photos of some Oregon ones that look very similar to that.

[@MamlamboFossils]

Oooh thanks! Appreciate the info!

[@josephcormier5974]

Merry Christmas and a happy new year brother thank you for sharing your fun with us six stars

[@MamlamboFossils]

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you too!

[@BradleyBellwether-oy2qi]

Anyone else see the snowy owl staring at them from inside the center of the thunder egg (which I'm calling the "thunder potato") @18:24? 😂

[@MamlamboFossils]

It looks like one!!

[@anthonyjackson3907]

Red rock at 18:40 ish looks like scoria . Tarawera spewed shit loads . Haven't seen a Kauri tin in ages , that took me down memory lane . Thank you , for being you .

[@MamlamboFossils]

oooh thanks! Scoria definitely looks like an option!

[@linuskorff4074]

Another awesome collection you recieved! Wishing you a great christmas Morne! I still just love your videos, they always make a day even better.

[@Winny-woo-woo]

16:11 that reminds me of the prehistoric wood usually in wet areas or old ships...

[@MamlamboFossils]

Thanks!!

[@pretzeltime3900]

[@biddyhamilton]

Well that was a treat. Happy Christmas Morne 💐🎁🍀

[@MamlamboFossils]

Merry Christmas to you too!!!

[@kellyhalloran1834]

I'm watching while making chocolate chip cookies...the large shell...could it have been a " Devil's Toenail" a fossil oyster?

[@MamlamboFossils]

It could be!!

[@freethinkradio]

You found the Wu-Tang agate... Thats amazing...

[@earthknight60]

That seed is some type of Sea Bean. Not sure which species as there are a lot of different types. It looks like one of the more common types, perhaps Sea Heart (Entada gigas), or one of the other large ones in the Entada genus.

[@MamlamboFossils]

Oooh thanks! I love the term "sea bean", I've never heard of it!

[@Aliktren]

Yeah i read about these asa child as they washed up sometimes on uk beaches as well.

[@b.slocumb7763]

It looks like his last name was Penfold, like the character in the Danger Mouse cartoons. Oh crumbs! Oh ‘eck!

[@MamlamboFossils]

Hey, it could be Penfold! I'll try and figure out a bit more about them.

[@ccccarriemchardy9216]

Merry Xmas!.

[@AdamosDad]

1967 the year I graduated high school. Yes, Merry Christmas.

[@andrewmortimer3317]

Love the treasure chest of fossils! What filament are you using for the bones? I like the color and finish it has.

[@MamlamboFossils]

eSun PLA+ Bone White filament

[@matt01506]

I dont know where the 22 minutes went watching this video. I was drawn right in. Thoroughly enjoyable. MERRY CHRISTMAS 🎅

[@MamlamboFossils]

I'm glad you enjoyed it!!

[@KrisPSouls9258]

I love when people give me rocks and fossils. I just hate when you can't tell what something is. 😂 Hope you have a nice Christmas.

[@MamlamboFossils]

I hope you have one too!

[@michalhulvak5810]

14:25 it is artefact

[@MamlamboFossils]

Thanks!!

[@susanselko-millman4889]

Hope your Christmas 🎄 was great. Have a wonderful 2025.

[@technonarg5978]

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, and good hunting in 2025

[@MamlamboFossils]

Thanks! I hope you have a great 2025 as well!

[@largent45]

I'm late but what a great bunch of agates and fossils! And that coral most probably was fossilized and any of the shells that were white were too and with UV, you can see the patterns they once had! Great video! And an awesome bunch of treasure! Happy Holidays to you and yours!🤶🎅🎄🎁🎉🥂🍾🎊

[@Dave_1966]

Merry Christmas and I hope you have a great New Year, thank you for all the videos you made in 2024 😊 I’m looking forward to whatever comes next 😊🎅🎄

[@MamlamboFossils]

Thanks Dave!! Merry Christmas to you too!

[@Das_Lloß]

Why is the Video in German and not in english ? How can i change it back to englisch ?

[@gr3mlin404]

Go to the video settings then “audio track”

[@MamlamboFossils]

That is some weird new feature on KZbin I think

[@13Odrade]

Oh this is bad. I live in France and now it seems I cannot watch your video without an HIDEOUS AI voice that translates your comments automatically in french !!! I can't find how to stop it. And I can't stand that voice ! I would be grateful if you have a solution.

[@MamlamboFossils]

Sorry, I have no idea. I think you will have to change a setting on your side

[@MamlamboFossils]

Apparently "Video Settings" and then "Audio Track"

[@13Odrade]

@@MamlamboFossils Thanks for your answers, I can't find "video settings". I spent an hour looking, googling, no way. Sh*t. If ever you or someone here has a hint...😩

[@heriberthuber54]

@@13Odrade I just change language to english. I have to redo it every time I restart the browser. But that's the only fix I found so far. The AI voiceover is atrocious and should be opt in.

[@ursulak9371]

Do you see the wheel in the right corner of the video? Click it and you will find the audiotrack

[@BradleyBellwether-oy2qi]

Merry Christmas!

[@MamlamboFossils]

You too!!
