Fossil hunting: I find the coolest little crab fossil

  • This footage is from before New Zealand went back into lockdown and was from two days of fossil hunting along on of the beaches near me. A large storm had moved quite a bit of new material into the area and I took advantage of this to find some pretty cool fossils. I had a great time looking for fossils over these two days even though the temperature was just above zero degrees Celsius for most of the time.
    I am almost done with the prepping of two large fossils and I will get onto the editing very soon!

    I'm fairly sure the first "not a fossil" was actually something of interest, it looked to be a partial internal mould of a nautaloid or ammonite of some kind with those fissures being the suture lines.

      They've evolved like 5 separate times as well. 5 different lines of crustacean decided that the best body plan was apparently to be a crab. Some of these used to look shrimp like. And over time decided crab worked better.

    That crayfish at 12:20ish is so beautiful. It looks like it would be difficult to prep but perhaps a rewarding result. So many good finds, plenty of crabs! The prep with the microscopy at the end is like a cherry on top of a Sunday! It's so fun to hunt vicariously in NZ with you though I can't wait until winter brings our gravels back. Cheers!

    That little crab with intact claws just poking out was such a rewarding bit, as was pretty much the entire video haha. I'm pleased to have made it to the "one year ago" videos now, and looking forward to getting caught up. Cheers!

I have been fascinated by rocks and fossils since I was a child but never got the chance to keep them for various reasons. *sad face* But I still love to see others attain them. Thumbs up.

      If you happen to be on the west coast of the United States and get a chance for maybe a coastal road trip. I suggest Lost Creek Beach south of Newport Oregon, there are similar concretions. I cant say the same mostly they're smaller and you find a lot more clams and such that lived in a silty clay layer. But there are larger cobbles I never had any idea what I could be looking for so I skipped over and left behind all the time. 🤷🏻‍♂️. We know what crab legs sticking out the sides of rocks look like now

Your huge crab prep was amazing I see it took terabytes of data. All I have is a galaxy J4+ phone, or a Panasonic ZT10 camera. I have a good tripod, Any advice can I do it?? with this fairly old tech?

I've done fossil vids in movie maker before perhaps I'll give it a try. I am amazed at tech these days when I was your age, the only way to contact New Zealand other than a hugely expensive telephone call would be a shed in the back garden and a 30ft aerial and an HF shortage radio transmitter. Even then atmospheric conditions could prevent comms. It would be very hit and miss.
