    Thanks so much for joining me for this video! If you're looking for more fossil content, I have 93 videos over on patreon which you can watch for $4 - I won't mind if you watch them all in one month and then bail 😂 www.patreon.com/mamlambo

      @davenelson413 Рік тому

      ohh yes, Gosh, Ewan Fordyce is a name I havent heard for many years. I came across a YT video a month or so ago from the OU starring Dr Daphnee Lee (maybe professor now) who was doing a video on a field trip for fossils. Daphnee was one of my many lecturers at OU and I really enjoyed her teaching style. .... I look forward to watching through many more of your videos as time goes by. All my fossil collection ended up at the university geology dept. only my rocks and mineral collection came to Australia with me 23 years ago. I could waffle on for ages about my activities, but I will spare you hahaha take care, keep up the good work, cheers, Dave

    I'd love to find mosasaur or plesiosaur. The best I get are sharkteeth, which are always great to find, and bits of petrified turtle bone (unidentifiable pieces, but we can't keep them, unfortunately).
    I'm curious. Is that a moa replica behind you in the last shot?

  • @aserta

    You could pick up those boulders using a yoke lever. Essentially a long piece of pipe with a bend in it, a wheel on the shorter part of the bend (something off a go-kart will do) and on the other (longer) end a Y shaped yoke with long handle bars that reach past your shoulders down in the position where you have the greatest control over the verticality of this contraption. Near the crook of this bend, a piece of metal would be welded perpendicularly to give tie points for a strap weaved basket in which the rock can sit. Safety belts in cars, even junk ones from a pull-apart are very stout, and all you'd need to make a basket of sufficient size is a 10 belts.
    Not my idea, saw a similar thing made out of wood some years ago. Instead of a wheel the wood would bend again and be joined to a sled with a metal pin. I think this is 1600's tech, but i might be wrong on the date. People were ingenious back then, even without a horse, this would allow the farmer to pull anything but the biggest boulders out of their field.
    That said, amazing find and super pre work!

    • @MamlamboFossils
      @MamlamboFossils  Рік тому

      I think they start off roundish just by the shape of how the concretion forms, from a central point outwards. They then get further rounded by the waves rolling them around on the beach.
