Thanks so much for watching everyone! I also meant diameter and not circumference when I was talking about the shark vertebra 😂 There is a 100 or so extra videos on Patreon which I am adding to: www.patreon.com/mamlambo
So many just amazing fossils, yet to prep! I can't wait until you can start that big bone cluster, the last cluster you showed! And anything plesiosaur or mosasaur would be so cool! To prep them and have a piece of those amazing animals, you can hold in your hand, is just absolutely a dream come true! Those animals were huge and the apex predators of their day! Amazing! Such a huge blessing those were to find! Fingers crossed you have one of each animal, in those bone blocks! And those shark certs are huge! Something that big would only be from a 16 ft shark! They looked much bigger to me! And that shark tooth in that same bone block as the plesiosaur bones is maybe an even cooler find now! And you are more than capable of prepping those bones now! You have worked on some amazing and important projects all ready! You got this! Thanks Morne! ❤
In a sea of UA-cam garbage we have great content like this. Excellent results and your genuine passion for this comes across well. Thanks and all the best for your channel.
So cool. I’d love to see any fossils you’re currently in the process of prepping, you’ve built up so many amazing ones over the years I’d love to see. super excited to see one of those massive crabs!
You have come a long way sir and it shows in the quality of your prep's I look forward to seeing you do some of the bone clusters you have thank you for sharing this wonderful video with us six stars brother
So much to look forward to! I admire your patience, and hope that your feeling courageous with those awesome chunks in the near future. Thanks for the video!
Very cool collection, Morne! I'm quite envious, especially since marine reptile material from New Zealand is almost entirely unknown in the rest of the world! I'd also say that most of it - except for the mystery bone, shark vertebrae, and last paddle bone encased in the concretion (which I believe, from shape, to be mosasaur) - can be attributed to plesiosaurs. Awesome! 🤩
Thanks Alexander! I'm even more keen now to prep that paddle bone block, I only have one other definite mosasaur bone. I always appreciate your knowledge with marine reptiles!
I don't know plesiosaurs well, but that groove under the transverse process reminds me of something you get in the sacral and first caudal vertebrae of lizards. I once collected a 'Megalania' (Varanus priscus) vertebra that I was able to place as a 2nd sacral, which made it useful for size comparison. It was a relatively small individual, probably only about as big as three Komodo dragons zip-tied together.
Please talk about your air scribes in a lot of detail!! Which ones have you tried? Which ones do you use for different applications? What would you buy now if you started over again? Side by side comparison? There is so little information online for those of us that are trying to get into fossil prep.
I think every really educated person can tell You that the mysterious thing in 3:46 is the front of an aliens face! If You doubt, just watch the Alien movies 😂! Despite it I am fascinated of the great meticulously work You're doing and how You present it with humor and expertise. Thank You for that and greetings from Heidelberg, Germany. Besides, the Museum of Geology and Paleontology at Heidelberg University is always a good place to go to on rainy days😊
Please come to Loch Ness in Scotland with your plesiosaur fossils. You may actually see a real plesiosaur - there's absolutely no doubt that there's a huge long- necked creature with 4 paddles that lurks in the loch (there has to be a family of them, of course)
Very cool collection. It's kind of unexpected how relatively common marine reptile bones are (at least, to me). Any idea of what specific group any of these are?
@@MamlamboFossils Could they be Aristonectines (a subgroup of elasmosaurs)? There are two genera from NZ, those being Alexandronectes and Kaiwhekea, so they're relatively well established.
So cool! Good on you for waiting to prep those early fossils until you gain more skill and confidence in your prepping technique. I look forward to seeing any of them in future. 🦴
Your great man, straight into number 1 of the UA-cam fossil film makers for me. Love to hear your thoughts on the next paragraph, you make me want to migrate to New Zealand... Hey man, whats your take on Darwin theory? Some scientists say that even though the fossil records have massive gaps as it takes a specific set of conditions to create beds, it is still clear from the incomplete jigsaw that the theory of natural selection is impossible. Do you think that Trilobites could evolve all the way to the T-Rex and then after the dinosaurs die out a second wave of evolution, from the Trilobites, finally arrives at humans? The God theory states that everything was created in a matter of days just thousands of years ago not millions. This theory also has problems as God surley would not have put a false time record in the rocks by way of fossils to wind us up. Now both science and religion are incomplete and putting them together does not work. What does expert like you think about this? Why are there no fossils before the Trilobites and do you think all the big jumps eventually to T-Rex and Humans are possible? Trying to solve the God Vs Science argument set out in the movie 'Contact' by Jodie Foster and Mathew McConohy many a moon ago.

How do you not just want to know know whats inside weather you prep it well or not! lol you should prep some of those bone clusters
Cant wait for the prep video of that final cluster
Fossil tours are always fun! It’s great seeing current and past projects together.
It really is! I sometimes forget about some of the fossils I have found
Nice finds. I like all your preps but the turtleskull is amazing!!!!
The turtle skull is definitely one of my favs as well!

Those shark verts are giant!! Thanks for always being so encouraging Lisa 😀 Yeah, I'm keen to see what is hiding in those bone blocks :)

Thanks Robert!
Still crazy you can spot them among the rocks and pebbles!
So cool. I’d love to see any fossils you’re currently in the process of prepping, you’ve built up so many amazing ones over the years I’d love to see. super excited to see one of those massive crabs!
I'll do a video on that!
Please do more prepping on the show I really miss it and it is so great to watch!
There was prepping in the previous video!!
Loved that plesiosaur vert! So many neat pieces!
Love your passion and knowledge..really enjoy your videos
Thank you so much!
Wow 😮you have some really great fossil,s with some really cool details on them
Thanks! I donate the best ones to the museum though
You have come a long way sir and it shows in the quality of your prep's I look forward to seeing you do some of the bone clusters you have thank you for sharing this wonderful video with us six stars brother
Thanks so much Joseph!! It's always good to look back on some of the work from the past :)
This was fascinating -- an incredible tour through the collection. Thank you for sharing. Looking forward to whatever you prep in the future.
Glad you enjoyed it!!
Love to see what different fossils you have, and in the different stages of being prepped. Awesome video!
So much to look forward to! I admire your patience, and hope that your feeling courageous with those awesome chunks in the near future. Thanks for the video!
Always glad to see ur videos
Enjoyed your hobby video, get prepping. Canada
Thanks so much!
Thank You!!!!
You're welcome!
Your videos of bone fossils are so interesting . It's hard to imaging the creature that went with those bones! 😮😮😮😅😅❤❤
I know! It's awesome to think that was a living creature that swam in the oceans at one time!
awesome find

Also 👏👏👏 Simon absolutely amazing job
He is doing really well!
Very interesting. Many thanks.
Hello @Mamlambo Fossils i love your videos you are so relax and interesting ! I would love to see your Miocene fossils :)
❤️
very cool, all that hard work that went into them, what an amazing job ! thanks
Thank you very much!
Penguins!?? Yes Please !!!

Thanks for the info John! You always have so much knowledge to share! I'll look into that!
Do you have any videos explaining how you prep all these fossils? If not, I think it would be a great idea to make one!
Those are huge shark vert big enough for coasters
They are gigantic!!

Those shark vertebrae are amazing looks like otodus. Is there otodus material from New Zealand?
Now I understand why you also have a space issue 😅. But the showcased fossils looked awesome 😮

Dude, I'm all about crypto creatures! Hence the name Mamlambo 💜
Oh I wondered where the name came from. I've looked it up - never heard of the South African lake monster. What lake is that? Thanks!
Very cool collection. It's kind of unexpected how relatively common marine reptile bones are (at least, to me). Any idea of what specific group any of these are?
They are probably elasmosaur as they are the most common

Love from india
Shark verts baffle me. It seems those are always what are found and not, ya know, [insert generic fish) verts.
I do find fish verts from time to time but mostly shark for some reason!
So cool! Good on you for waiting to prep those early fossils until you gain more skill and confidence in your prepping technique. I look forward to seeing any of them in future. 🦴
I can't wait either!
😍❣👍
Could the one with calcite crystals be an ammonite or nautilus maybe
it could be! I'll have to prep it or get it scanned!
@MamlamboFossils either way I would love to know
hey do you know where to find bones and skulls in france because i am from there and i am willing to find fossils
Sorry, I don't know but there are definitely fossils in France. You will have to do some reading and investigating!
ok thank you very much. keep it up with the findings
