- I keep heading further south, stopping at a beach known for petrified wood to see if I could find an elusive round. It was a beautiful day and the area is very picturesque, finding fossils was a bonus!

Awesome finds, never disappointing, really nice video as well! 👍Looking forward for day 3 as well!
Thanks Linus! Glad you enjoyed it!
On the Yellowstone River in Montana, USA, they find a lot of "Agatized Wood". Some of the inclusions might be Agate.. We call the smaller rounds "Limb Casts".. Fun to travel with you! Thanks for sharing with us!!
Nice! I've seen some amazing rocks from the Yellowstone area
Great trip; thoroughly enjoyed! Thank you.

Do you have a way for someone to send you pictures? Where I live at there isn't anyone who knows anything about fossils that can help me identify what I have. I would love to show you my round piece of petrified wood, it is a perfectly round piece and very well preserved with no chips or broken piece off it, to me it looks like a a really thick coaster lol. You are very blessed to be in such beautiful and peaceful country, thank you for sharing your time and beautiful pieces of our past with us. Be safe and happy hunting.
Beautiful scenery, good luck
It really is!!
I lived in Christchurch for a year and went down this road quite often. Sooooo missing it. Great video!
Old sod cottage, sounds like any cottage I might live in lol
😭😭😭
Wow! Those were some amazing pieces of petrified wood! That blue piece with the crystals was beautiful! Did you ever find your round! Such beautiful landscapes! The views are gorgeous! And this is just day two! Oh and that sod house was magnificent! It's amazing that it's still standing! Thanks Morne!
I didn't find the round this time round, hehehe but it was well worth the trip :)
It was a beautiful place. I'm glad you were able to get some petrified wood and smart enough not to fall off a terrible cliff trail. See ya next time. 😷⚒🤗
That cliff looked super dodgy 😁
@@MamlamboFossils indeed it did!🐐
How great to take us along on your road trip! The landscape is very reminiscent of the Natal Midlands. I can see the attraction of the country for Saffas....
Yeah, it does have that KZN feel to it!
only the temperature is not quite the same.. even Durbs winter sea is warmer than the summer sea here... also the hillsides are overgrazed and terraced by 5$^$%^ sheep... the algae on the rocks comes from nitrate (and urine) runoff from the farms.
Some of our beaches here in the USA have white beach sand that is really crushed shell. It is crushed so small it feels like sugar. We call it sugar sand even though it is not really sand. We can find sharks teeth in some dirt that is used for filling low spots in dirt driveways. What we call parking at home.
That sounds amazing! Driveway sharks teeth!!
I'm currently reading Eleanor Catton 'The Luminaries' and it feels great to be connected in some way by looking at those Maori tools. New Zealand is such a beautiful country I wish to visit there. Much love from the Philippines.
I'll have to check the book out!
Awesomeness
1.26 Tautuku I love that place , 1st time in charge of a job and I loose 3 workers on the hill between cathedral cave rd and the main road , got them back ❤
I'm glad you got them back!!!
wow always leave me wanting more!
that's a good thing!!
What a lovely place to beachcomb. Thank you for the tour.
Excellent video sir thank you for sharing this with us six stars brother
Thanks so much Joseph!! Appreciate you
Love the pet wood.
There's some really nice bits out there Bruce!
3:57 that rip tide is kinda scary lol
I already know that this will be great. Really looking forward for this!
Thanks so much Linus!!!
@@MamlamboFossils It's not a big deal for me, I just enjoy these videos, since I also collect fossils, as you may know 😆It just seemed like a peaceful location with awesome weather! And I know your videos are nice and really well made!
Such a shame you didn't come across the fossil museum in Papatowai in the Catlins, enormous ammonites and plenty more, you would have driven through it 😊 awesome vid
Got to see almost a whole minute lol, thank goodness for replay👍👍😉
Amazing!
Thanks!
Excited for episode 3 :)
I better get on it!
Ole Burt Monroe's neck of the woods.
Yip!
i never get tired of seeing your wonderful country.. i have a freind that lives over there so when he talks about it i can picture what he sees... plus love seeing the nosey water doggos lol...
It is such a beautiful place!
@@MamlamboFossils it really is... before i got sick Australia was on my bucket list to visit and new zeland.. never get tired of all the lush scenery...and all the critters hehehe
I am so glad I ran across and got here in time to watch from the very beginning maybe I will be able to see some of the fossils that I have and finally find out what they are. I have alot of really amazing and very well preserved fossils and I cant find anyone who can help me identify them. I also have some pieces of petrified wood, theyre not very big but theyre pretty nice. Happy hunting everyone.
Seems odd you mentioning ammonites rather than crabs or penguins! Hope you're enjoying the trip!
This area is Jurassic, much older than penguins this time!
Had a phone call at the end...great show
Thanks for joining!
😍❣👍
Aww you didn't visit Curio Bay. You would have found dozens of petrified trees there out in the open, several of them whole trees. You went as far as I have been at the lagoon with the petrified wood in it. Pity you didn't find big flat sheets of forest floor (leaves). I was there a week ago and only found one small piece. You also didn't visit the official most southern point of the South Island at Slope Point which is right next to the lagoon. You would have found more wood there as well as rhyolites that are also found in Antarctica and were once part of Antarctica. If you are ever down this way again, ask the Otago club for a guide and you could also get access to several private farms. Did you see the giant and very orange whale bone outside the museum? That came from Slope Point.
Nice! I'll definitely check out slope point next time I'm in the area!
@@MamlamboFossils Hopefully you visited the HUGE collection in Winton otherwise you definitely need to return to the deep south. That collection is epic and would be the highlight of your trip.
@@Smegzor Wait, in winton? where about?
@@PondScummer It is a private residence. Your best bet to see it is through a NZ rock club or here when I can get Mamlambo to return down this way. I will send him some teaser photos from my last visit.
Those crystals are agates.
Some of them are but I wonder if there are some calcite ones as well
@@MamlamboFossils I have some agatised wood from there and also an agate from Slope Point (very rare). I took a group from Tauranga to one of the hidden beaches there last week.
I lived in Dunedin for a year back in 2010-11, and also went cod fishing off the boat in the Bluff area. NZ is just a peach of a country. Here is me, bungee jumping in Queenstown: ua-cam.com/video/0_5DAqRjAiA/v-deo.htmlsi=_my__85UZ6-_CFO4
Nice bungy! You're braver than me 😂
@@MamlamboFossils Thank you. You can dooooo it! Nice videos
Orange Crystal? Amber? Fossil resin?
