Thanks for watching everyone, I really hope you enjoyed it. It would really help me out if you liked the video and subscribed to the channel 😁 There is more content on my Patreon channel: patreon.com/mamlambo I also have a rockhounding channel: ua-cam.com/channels/yIYDaFNKo2UHkJg7mlwRQQ.html I recently found a rock with HUGE teeth in it, I hope to have the video done later this week 😀
I found a rock up ōwhango while I was hunting. It's got what looks to be a tooth or claw with a price of bone next to it. I ts also full of shells so may just be a piece of that although none of the other shells in the concretion have a porus look. I could send you a picture if you are interested
To know that you had the honor of releasing this hugely gorgeous specimen for all the world to see, well I watched your video 3x. Sir, you need some kind of metal, night hood, a title or the Nobel!!!! …Really!!!! Great job!!!! Kim Hollywood CA USA
Yes, excellent choice of music. Watching the genesis of our friend from the past. Combined with your gentle narrative regarding this labor of love. It will answer many of my grandson's questions. He say "hi" and he wants to do what you do.
Wow Morne, that was fantastic. The calm explanation and music was mesmerizing.while watching was hypnotic. You have the patience of a rock man. 200 hours of hunching over working must be backbreaking but the result is worth every second. Awesome fossil.
Stretch, rest and have some water every 52min brother (theres science behind that). Be careful of your back, you only have one. Mines buggered so I'm speaking from the hard lessons I've had to learn. Nerve pain is no joke. Don't mean to sound like an old lady. Love your work.
Brilliant commentary. This was an amazing feat, to release the crab from the concretion. Appreciate that you spent the time to video the process and give us the insight of your process. I have so much respect for your artistry and devotion to your knowledge, work, and craft... especially 200+ hours. Magnificent!
Amazing how much patience you have! It appears miraculously for us, but you spend days with not a whole lot to show for it! Fantastic video! Thank you so much!
It must feel so fulfilling to know that 12 million years passed just for you to be the one to finally reveal the product of all that time. I mean, humans weren’t even close to having evolved when that crab was alive, and now all the day down the line and millions of generations later, out of alllllll the people you’re the one who gets to expose that crab to light again! I just think that’s so cool to think about.
You are an amazingly patient and skillful person to put that much time into this prep. It is beautiful well done. I love watching hing these preps an you narration is great.
So great to be taken through how you do this sort of prep. It so impresses me how you have developed all the skills that it takes to identify, collect and reveal these fossils Morne, as well as the patience and perseverence required
😎😎 Brilliant! Thanks for sharing this journey of revealing a 12million yr old fossil 🦀 crab❣️ It always amazes me how you can dig through all that rock and still leave a near perfect specimen of bone behind!! 👏 ✌️🙏💞
These videos with commentary are so much better! I love them all, don't get me wrong, but I've found myself wanting commentary since this is a field I am completely unfamiliar with. As awesome as seeing the fossils is, you have very valuable knowledge as well.
That is so interesting to watch. I really appreciate just how much work you put into these fossils. It must be so rewarding for you when you get such a beautiful crab revealed. 🦀 It amazes me to think that 12 million years ago this was a living organism. Thanks so much for all of your hard work! 👍 💯✌🇨🇦
12 million years old Seafood boil Mukbang is something i wanna see lol. Jokes aside, I stumbled upon one of your videos and now I'm binge-watching. It's so interesting and educational, I'm loving it!
🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍It's amazing how it was possible to determine that there was such a treasure there and still have the patience to extract it so painstakingly
Beautiful work, enjoy your commentary to go along with the video making it even more interesting. Have you ever wondered if diatoms - tiny creatures were fossilized along with your finds in the surrounding rock you've removed?
This is amazing, I came over after seeing your videos on shorts and I was wondering how you got the crabs out! I absolutely love fossils, rocks and minerals of all kinds. ive found a few smaller fossils on a beach near where I live northern England but nothing like this 🤩
You should put un-preped (small) crab fossils for sale in your store. I would love to try and bring one out of rock! Don't think we have these in Florida! Love the commentary!
Watching your sped up meticulous work is very meditative and relaxing. Fascinating to watch the reveal of the crab. Typically, how many minutes/hours of this can you do at a time?
![Did I just find a fossil skull? [prep time-lapse included]](/img/n.gif)
Holy moley 12 million years old. Just imagine all that time. I'm always flabbergasted by the age of these
And that's young for a fossil!
😧😧 wowww
The sad thing for me is that I would've gotten 15 if I brought those rocks with those leg hole thingys he showed-
That crab would've made huge crabby patties!
The biggest!!
Ahhgagagaga!!! SpongeBob, me boy!

❤❤❤❤❤ This belongs in a museum! Well done!
Thank you very much!
That was one of the most lovely videos I've ever seen. One: that's a big crab. Two: you really love what you're doing and it shows.
Thanks so much bro, that was an awesome comment!!
Love the commentary. Gives so much insight.
Wow Morne, that was fantastic.
The calm explanation and music was mesmerizing.while watching was hypnotic.
You have the patience of a rock man. 200 hours of hunching over working must be backbreaking but the result is worth every second.
Awesome fossil.
It is pretty hard work and can be uncomfortable, but I usually listen to some podcasts and just go into a zen mode 😂
Stretch, rest and have some water every 52min brother (theres science behind that). Be careful of your back, you only have one.

Don't mean to sound like an old lady.
Love your work.
200 Hours of pure bliss... I love that kind of work.
Me too!
Great job. Enjoyed the added commentary.
200 hours but you get to have an amazing fossil :)
Thanks so much!! Hahaha it was a long process!

My pleasure! Yeah, sometimes I feel like nothing changed after 10 hours of work 😄
Stunning!
208 hours! Oh my, you're so patient. Great job!
Thanks so much!!
Very relaxing to listen to. And very satisfying to see the crab revealed!

Nice explanation of the whole process of prepping it! Thanks!
Fantastic, thank you. Fascinated by fossils.
My pleasure!!

Glad you liked it!! I'll do the same for the penguin once it's done!
Never imagined that the legs might be hollow !!! Even more work!! You deserve to own this beautiful piece of art !!!🤗
* WOW ~ 200 hours of work is Amazing.. Thank you fo talking us thru the process.
My pleasure Leslye!
great to see the 3d model in the end. It makes you appreciate the depth of the fossil more and the difficulty of the prep.
Hi Morne This was great and I really like your voice over. You are a natural teacher. Cheers Wendy
Thanks so much Wendy! That's really kind of you to say that 😀

Thank you, sir! Was great to hear your thoughts and explanations as the project progressed.
Awesome video Morne!!!
Thanks Rick 😄
It is fascinating to see how this crab is finally freed from its stone prison after 12 million years and can tell us its story.
I'm glad you enjoyed it Harald
Amazing 😄. With your narration this was like watching a mars lander touching down. 🦀. This would make for nice classroom material.
Hypnotazing and calming at the same time 😌
That was fascinating to watch. Thank you for uploading this video.
Thanks Tom!
I am so intrigued by fossils. This was beyond cool.
Love the commentary! Really nice to hear what you’re doing and why
So great to be taken through how you do this sort of prep. It so impresses me how you have developed all the skills that it takes to identify, collect and reveal these fossils Morne, as well as the patience and perseverence required
This was amazing to watch! Thanks for the commentary because I would have never guessed it was that old and that hard to deal with!
I loved This video. Like that you describe what you are doing and using.

As awesome as seeing the fossils is, you have very valuable knowledge as well.
Thanks Crabman! I'm really glad you enjoyed the commentary, it's a bit out of my comfort zone but it's always good to try new things!
Awesome work!

Thank you ! Amazing !
Amazing how you could tell that wasn't an ordinary rock. How did the crust form over the crab?
Beautiful crab
Thanks Dinah!!
Very cool video 👍 thanks..
🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍It's amazing how it was possible to determine that there was such a treasure there and still have the patience to extract it so painstakingly
I'm amazed at people that can see what's inside with only those three small spots
Nice job, I actually like the scribe marks 🙂
That is amazing! I'm in NZ. My Partner and I would love to be Rockhounds. Glad to have found you.. most interesting 🙏
Great video

This is amazing, I came over after seeing your videos on shorts and I was wondering how you got the crabs out! I absolutely love fossils, rocks and minerals of all kinds. ive found a few smaller fossils on a beach near where I live northern England but nothing like this 🤩
So much time and work thanks! How did you get started in this?
I found a tiny crab and used an electric engraver to expose it a bit, then I got a small compressor and my first air scribe 😀
Thanks! I’ve seen a few for sale, but they are only an inch long and very fragile
Fantastic job, what a satisfying feeling you must get once it's finished. The commentary really helped, thank you for posting
Glad you enjoyed it Ian!
As always, wooooow, very nice!!!
Fantastic ❤
200 thank you one for every hour
You should put un-preped (small) crab fossils for sale in your store. I would love to try and bring one out of rock! Don't think we have these in Florida! Love the commentary!
Wow, that rock is full of crab!
It's all crab!
Watching your sped up meticulous work is very meditative and relaxing. Fascinating to watch the reveal of the crab. Typically, how many minutes/hours of this can you do at a time?
crabtastic ' I'd love to see the we crab face 🤗 I now know so much a bout fossil hunting now " from my arm chair " great channel Sir ! 😎
Awesome!!!
What fantastic job you did on this specimen. Have you shown it to any museum?
The local museum have seen it but they have quite a few crab fossils already 😀
Such good micro work 👍...going to try this winter. To many farm projects 😞. That B is hard to get in the US
giant 12mil years, holly crab !!!
