Mystery fossil bone cluster discovered and some amazing dinosaur artwork from local students
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 чер 2023
- This is a combination of two days of fossil hunting where I went to go check out a Miocene / Pliocene area here in New Zealand. I found a good variety of fossils including some whale / cetacean fossils, crabs, bryozoan, shells and a heap more!
I also received the most amazing artwork from one of the schools I visited recently and I share that later in the video.

Fantastic that you are introducing fossils to the school kids they were obviously impressed looking at the lovely notes that they sent you. I'm 65 and was interested in dinosaurs and fossils from a very early age in primary school, I would have been over the moon if someone like yourself had visited our school. Keep up the brilliant work and I can't wait to see what bones are in that latest find
They were really into the fossils and knew so much about dinosaurs already!!
I love seeing the fruits of introducing fossils to school children and it is always to see which inspired each child and what they liked the most. The differences that each person has and it is special that you can share these letters online and show us, your online subscribers what these special children have done for you!
I think they students will also really enjoy seeing their artwork online 😀
❤ those letters! I’m so glad you were able to visit the school and bring fossils for the kids to see. Being able to actually touch something you are learning about makes a huge difference at any age but at that age it’s a really BIG deal.
Such amazing letters!!! I'm glad I could share them!
Wonderful are the appreciation cards and drawings from the children. Definitely open up a whole new fascinating world to them. ♥️👍♥️
Having time to go through the cards, shows one what a beautiful soul you are Morné. Thank you for your love.
Thank you for showing us all of the wonderful student artwork! It's so much fun to see what each one enjoyed and to hear their questions answered. They'll probably remember you for many years to come. 😊
Hopefully they remember the amazing creatures that lived where they're school is today!
Awesome that you are giving back to the community Morne. Those kids are going to love this video. We had a 'nature table' in my school when we were kids and if we found cool stuff we got to put it on there. I've never stopped looking for 'cool nature stuff' since!
That is such a great idea!! Sounds like you had some great teachers
@@MamlamboFossils9
Best. Outro. Ever. Lots of very impressive artwork there, you've got some talented folks in those classes.🦀
I'm really lucky to get the cool artwork sent to me, they really made a great effort!
So great that you shared your finds with the kids. I loved the cards that they made for you . I bet they remember their time w you for many years! Well done! Also excited to see what the scans show. Thanks for the great video!
My pleasure! Those cards were so amazing!
That piece of petrified wood with the burrows is gorgeous! What a find.
The bird bones rock promises to be a fun mystery!
I love that piece of wood as well 😃
Clearly the children loved your visit. Well done AND great finds.
Thanks John! I enjoyed it just as much!
Great fossil hunt, so happy you read out the cards from the school visit. Good to introduce them to fossils, bravo!!
Thanks Rick! I sent the video link to their school so hopefully they enjoy seeing their artwork online.
That was awesome that you gave all the kids a shout out. That, and your visit will stick with them forever!
At 4:35 just after you said "There's another one", I was congratulating myself on having spotted it too - but then you picked up a different stone ! Mine is at about 3:00 o'clock 2/3 of the way out from the centre of the screen. A browner rock surrounded on left and top sides by white pebbles. I think we are looking at the top/back of the carapace and you can see the rings of two of the back legs eroding out of the rock on the right hand side ! You will have to go back for it !
I'll go check it out!!
Love how you said 'claw legleglegleg legleglegleg' with the tiny crab lol, seems like quite an interesting one too, lots of already exposed but not too erodet detail
🤣 so many legs!!
Thanks for sharing the exciting adventure! Some really cool finds. I love the little crabs
I think it’s frickin awesome that you are visiting schools and sharing the love of paleontology with students. That’s such an important thing for kids to experience.
Nilo seems like a sharp kid. The vocabulary and handwriting…wouldn’t be surprised if they are really into the subject already.
Some of them knew way more about dinosaurs than I did!!
This is so wonderful, I'm sure there are some future paleontologists that started their journey with your presentation!
That would be so amazing!
How sweet of you to share the kids' letters after. You are inspiring young minds!
So cool that you got to speak at the school and so many nice letters and drawing can't wait to see you prep the new bone cluster thank you for sharing this six stars brother
Thanks so much Joseph!
I reckon you've put some pretty big smiles on a lot of kids faces today.
👍
They put a huge smile on my face as well! They were so into it!
4:23 I saw that one at 3:35, woo hoo! Watching your videos is really helping my fossil identification. Of course, I don't have crabs in my yard, but I do have an amazing amount of coral. Love the videos.
That is awesome! There might be some teeth in amongst that coral!
Love that you named those school kids. They will remember this all their lives!
How sweet that the kids responded in such ways. 😊
They were amazing!!
Those children wiil be absolutely thrilled that you took the time to show, and acknowledge, their artwork and letters on here. You also thrilled the old teacher in me because I loved it when visitors I brought in acknowledged my childrens' thank-you letters.
Best Wishes, Brendan.
Thanks Brendan! It's only right to respond as they took the time to write to me and had some questions 😀
What a fun piece. Crabs every where
Thanks to your friend, Sophia, for the assist.
You were a hit at school and the kids will remember it forever. Happy hunting and much success. 😷⚒
Thanks so much! Sophia really knows her stuff, I can definitely learn from her!
So nice to see you take your fossil specimens into a school, it does make a difference. I remember having a Local Archeologist visit our school and it was fantastic to see and hear what he had found . It definitely started my fascination for the love of history and managed to get a degree in Archaeology . Maybe you have done the same which is a wonderful thing 👍😊
Ahhh that's so cool! I wonder how many people that one archeologist inspired?
@@MamlamboFossils Yes I'm sure he did 100%..... back in the 80s he was just a normal local Archaeologist but later he was on a UK TV programme called Time Team , his name was Mick Ashton. He has sadly passed now but he is still fondly loved in the Archaeologists circle 😊
@@mariemoss2475 I love Time Team!!! I used to binge watch it all the time!
@@MamlamboFossils I was lucky enough to be on the Time Teams Big Dig back in 2003, all of the crew were wonderful. Time Team are still going they have their own UA-cam channel now, they are really underfunded so had to leave main stream TV . Still a good watch 👍😊
When your getting invited to show kids your fossils then you know are doing great work and getting a bigger audience. Keep up the great videos!
Thanks! Will do!
It is amazing that you take fossils into the schools and get these kids excited about fossils! That is amazing that you can take the world of paleontology to the kids and look how they respond! Awesome and that bird concretion is awesome! I am so excited to find out what kind of bird it is! Thats amazing! I hope it's something special and another feather in your cap for fossil finds this year! Thanks Morne!
I hope so too!! Hopefully the CT scan will reveal some details 😃 those kids were really interested in the fossils!
The moment you said Moa I realised you were likely in NZ and that I should check the description to see if you mentioned the place you find the fossils, and I'm so happy to see theres ACTUALLY somewhere in this country that has a beach of fossils :')
I've struggled to search about it for so long and have always wanted to find one or two for myself. Hope one day I can travel there and take a look around for some
The fossilised bread roll could prove that agricultural practices started much earlier than we thought! 😜
It was so squishy when I touched it 😭
At the end I love it! Inspiring the future! You know, it was a gent like you friend that inspired me from a young age to go rockhounding! And now I know more about the eastern South Dakota Fossils and Geography than most all professionals!
Awesome!! I do like visiting schools and talking about fossils!
Hey Morne thank you for coming to our school
My pleasure bro! I really enjoyed it, you asked some really good questions 😀 I remember you knew so much about dinosaurs!
Another wonderful video can’t wait to see the scan images. It’s great that you are teaching children about fossils. Where I lived in Alberta, Canada the oils companies found so many dinosaurs fossils in the oil sands but unfortunately during junior and high school none of these finds were really mentioned unless in the news. I would have loved it if an Palaeontologist would have visited the schools I went to.
Thanks Heather, I think it really gets the kids thinking about fossils knowing these are from their local area.
THANK YOU! Appreciate your videos & research! Love the kids cards! That’s how I grew up, looking for fossils with my dad.
That's awesome Tiffany! Your dad trained the next generation 😀
Loved the thank you cards. Thank you for sparking interest in the children. THEY ARE OUR FUTURE ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
They are so awesome!! They made such a huge effort with them!
Love from ❤ india❤️ kerala❤
Can't wait to see the scan of the bird bone, such an amazing find.
Glad you were there to see it in person!!
Fossil's treasury place is wonderful. 😍
I was struck at how abstract and stylized some of those crabs concretions appeared, almost like it was hand drawn art. In my unsolicited opinion that you’re free to use or not, you might consider adapting those fossil shapes into merch or a logo. Fun video! I’ll be looking for updates on the possible bird!
That's a great idea!
Great video. Nice finds, and really cool cards from the kids.
That beach was full of cool finds! Love how to are teaching the kids. School visits are so much fun!
It really is fun visiting the schools!
Great find there.. Need to get out for another fossick 👍
What few dinosaur bone fragments New Zealand ,most have come from the Chatham islands ,in a layers which is younger than the age of Dinosaurs ,The dinosaur fragment's found got reworked into the younger layers ,which is why they a tiny one off fragments per dinosaur types known only .The other few or couple are from the north Island as you mentioned .We are lucky at all any dinosaur bone fragment have being found at all for NZ .The Chatham's have plenty of shark teeth to be found .
Only a matter of time till we find some in the South Island!
Great video again! I hope someday you consider doing a picture book for children or adults of your noteable finds. Your teaching skills are incredible.
Thanks Dan, I'm working on another project at the moment which is in that kind of line 😃
@@MamlamboFossils Awesome news!
* WOW ~ You found some fabulous pieces.. Wish it was easier for you to haul your finds out of there.. but someone else would take them & not Share. Thanks for taking us with you..
My pleasure!
Wish i was this lucky when i was little this would be the highlight of the year 😭
Same, I would have loved to see local fossils!
@@MamlamboFossils Good theres someone awesome like you around 😼Keep on having fun and inspiring, spreading knowledge 😻
Wow so cool I love my rocks gems and fossils 💚🧲⚓️👍
It's so great to see all these fossils of crabs! I live near a mountain that has sea fossils in places. When I was a child I was fascinated that fossils of the sea would be up on a mountain. But of course this whole area was under the sea before it was pushed up into a mountain. My father found a fossilized clam there and cut it open, and there were crystals inside. He said they were salt or something else water-soluble, because they melted soon after he opened it. Have you ever seen crystals inside a fossil? I just found your channel so maybe you'v'e already answered that. I'll check out your other videos and subscribe!
I often see calcite crystals inside shells, sounds like a wonderful place to grow up in!
You should get the wood wet and check to see if it is opalized anywhere.
Maaan...what a GREAT video! Love that tiny crab you introduced. Would you know of any reputable fossil dealers who sell fossil crabs? Thanks for sharing this!!!
Sorry, I have no idea who sells fossils. You can 3D print and paint my large fossil crab though for free. It's on sketchfab.com
@@MamlamboFossils thanks so much but I just love what you do with yours. I'll keep looking around. Keep these great videos coming.
Petrified wood is cool. I hope the bird bone is either Moa or Haast’s eagle.
That would be crazy cool!
Nice fossils! Pls update us on the bird bone as soon as possible.
Will do!
It’s cool you are introducing students to fossils and geology! Maybe you should create a small traveling museum.
That's a great idea! I would love to have a small museum / prep studio that is open to the public.
Yay crabbies 🥰🥰🥰 thanks for sharing
You’re welcome 😊
That was really awesome mate
THANK YOU! 👏👏👏
Oeh I love the petrified wood!!😮
It's really a great piece!
Thanks for your videos.
My pleasure!
I’d take that legless crab any day cause we don’t have fossils like that here in Arkansas haha. Great video as always
My favorite video ever by marco
I am so excited, very excited, I am not a geologist nor paleontologist either archeologist. I am just fascinated by beauty of the nature and the manner it evolved from time memorial to this day. I grew up in rural South Africa and I am just situated in areas like yours and I am interested, very interested to join you good guys. I have bones of dinosaur 🦕 including beautiful agates and clear and golden, blue crystal and I want to establish my own museum one day.
The large petrified wood set off my trypophobia.
Otherwise, nice fossil finds.
So many holes!!
Fossilific effort. Awesome pictures. Do you ever get to go on private property to dig at different sites for fossils, crystals or agates?
Hiya Carrie, I've got permission from a couple of local farmers to go on their land which I do from time to time.
love the beard man and the vids ofc
It keeps me warm :)
I live near the Florida coast but rockless beach indeed ..😢
That sea weed fossil was awesome 😎 what a cool find
The sea weed one was just the impression of a modern seaweed that had dried on the rock if it is the one I showed, the bryozoan fossil was really cool though!
I liked the crab at 3:18 already prepped.
I believe that in the near future we will have new fossil hunters 🙂🙂🙂
I think so too!
Sulle montagne dell'Appennino in centro Italia, tra i 1600 e i 2000 metri d'altezza, c'è una vasta area di fondali marini, in particolare si trovano rudisti e nerinee.
That sounds amazing!!
0:47 are those dolphin calls in the background sound?
I think it was people further along the beach swimming
You ever run into those gross worm things that fill up wet driftwood?! Nightmarish haha
I do! Teredo worms I think?
Fabulous finds. Thank you for sharing your experience with young kids at the school. Wonderful experience for all of them, too. ❤Thumbs-up 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks Laura!!
Good video!
Thanks 😁
Hard to believe i was once a kid and had imagination like that 😀 those drawings are so much fun,top man for inspiring them 🙂 permission to be very proud 😉
Thank you so much 😀
Excellent video as always!!!
What is the rough age of the turtle skull, please?
Late Miocene or Pliocene, probably 2 to 6 million years old
@@MamlamboFossils Wow! Thanks for your reply buddy
This makes me want to go out and fossil hunt!
i know how special them letters from the kids are i did a mcgruff the crime dog puppet for some kids at a daycare i was so nervous but when the kids asked questions got more use to talking and felt a bit better but the next day all the letters i got was so cool to see that they realy enjoyed the puppet and telling them about crime and what to do in case of a crime and who to call . glad i did it the letters was the best part for me. McGruff is the police dog from US to teach kids about crime and how to be safe .i was senior in high school but will all ways remimber that day.
Ahhh that is so awesome! I've seen references to McGruff in some TV shows before, I'm sure the kids still remember your visit!
I love the song you used. Any chance you can find the name of it?
There was another concreteation above your knuckle when you found the bone cluster
I'll go back and check it out!
Greetings from the BIG SKY. You'd have fun in Hell Creek.
I sure would!
@@MamlamboFossils I've been in Jordan, Mt. many times. It's a town with all dirt road streets. I think the highway is paved there now, too.
Something ive wondered, what beaches should i look at and as i would love to ectch away 2 uncover these.. thank u..
From uk
Awesome fossils in the UK as well!
Hello there! I want to start searching for fossils but i dont know what tools to buy, what should i use?
What are those super white rocks on this beach?
Limestone
I want some fossil crabs
What is B72? I've been collecting some fossil rocks but I don't know what I should do next to extract them.. Please advise. The longer I take the less I will remember about where I sourced them from.
First thing is you should be recording your finds right now, take a photo and email it to yourself with the description of where you found it. Extracting the fossils takes practice, look through my other videos but first get in touch with your local museum as you shouldn't prep significant fossils without years of practice
@@MamlamboFossils actually, that's really unhelpful. It's just a few interesting rocks from the ground, not Insitu from a bed, I've found and want to practice on. If I find anything of note, after checking the fossil database, I'll go back n do it properly. Are YOU a geologist? Or an avid fossil hunter. I did most of my degree 20yrs ago, before life got in the way. The guy in Palmy who discovered the giant penguin is an unqualified expert. I was hoping for an answer to what is B72... If u won't be helpful I'll track him down.
@@all3ykat79 B72 is a consolidant that protects the fossils, you can get it from conservationssupplies.co.nz
I think I might have found a stone with bones in but I'm not sure, I've looked at your other videos on how to identify if they are but still not sure
Nice! Send some photos to your local museum or university, they should be able to tell!
@@MamlamboFossils thx I'll do that
Where is this at???
Aotearoa / New Zealand 😀
Anyone else notice that all these fossils from the beach in his videos are in very similar SEDMENTARY rock and range, in kinds, from penguins to reptiles to large extinct amphibians???
Could they have all been made into fossils VERY close to in time?
No, there are millions of years between these rocks, they have just eroded out of the cliff and accumulated in some areas
It sure was squishy 🤣
👍👍👍
🤘nice
MAMLAMBO...............
Looks like you left behind a jaw bone.
Very interesting, allot better than what they're teaching kids now days... 🦀
Ngaps
😢😢👉👶👶👶
Have you had problems teaching kids about paleontology, evolution, and natural history? Ive been hearing a few horry stories about kiwi education recently.
Nope, I think those were clickbait articles
@@MamlamboFossils I ain't so I sure about the clickbait since I ain't read any articles, but glad you ain't had any problems.
That bet that bread roll will become a fossil one day, unless the seagulls get to it first.
My money is on the seagulls 😁
