You have to post a prep video of the paddle bones, that would be amazing to see in my opinion! Spectacular finds man! Grab the one with the verts with the wagon too lol
I think the museum is interested in the one with the verts, so hopefully they go fetch it! I will give it a go if I find it again, I'm planning on going back soon 😄
That place is amazing! And those shark teeth that appear to be attached to the jaw, what an incredible find! I think the shark tooth you asked about is Archaeolamna kopingensis, an extinct species of mackerel shark. Great video!
Yeah, it really is a wonderful place! Thanks for the info on the shark species, I'll go on a google mission to look at all the species mentioned in the comments.
I think we're gonna need a bigger little red wagon, hahahaha. Absolutely beautiful finds, especially the possible partial plesiosaur paddle. Oh man after watching this I feel like I was there in person, I'm so happy. Good luck on your next trip!
Thanks Lizzy! I'm just finishing off a couple of crabs then I will tackle the reptile bones, I have emailed the museum asking if they are interested in any of them, so they might want them to study.
Those shell layers are so incredibly pretty, and all those teeth! Maybe you'll finally find that megalodan you've been looking for. This is definitely a win of a new fossil beach. Also if I'd found that sealion hiding in that hole it'd've scared the death out of me, lol, a face is never what you want to see when you're looking in spooky cracks on the beach.
You would have a hard time getting me to leave that awesome place! I would load up my little fold out wagon! I also would probably be overcome with overwhelming emotions if I ever was in a place like that. I might even cry over the amount of amazing fossils. P.S. Thank you for putting the fish into the water! That was so sweet!
Hey, Mamlambo. WHAT A DAY!!!! The Plesiosaur paddle (if that's what it is) is awesome. The way it's embedded in the rock is so cool. The sharks teeth left behind could be a feeding frenzy. Some nice tasty morsels for those beautiful beasts. You're soon gonna have to put another building on your lot for all the awesome finds you get!!! HAHAHA. have a good one.
I know! I need a shed I think 😄 Someone said that plesiosaur paddle could also be the paddle from a whale or dolphin. Will have to prep it and see. If it's cretaceous, like the area is, it definitely isn't cetacean.
Thanks Sandi! I've seen some amazing bits from Alaska, it's one of my dream destinations yo visit. I must still prep one of these fossils, it's quite different to the rest so might be quite rare.
Awesome video! So many great finds. I love Chalcedony Chis' channel too. Is he still making videos? Haven't seen any recent ones. Thanks for sharing your amazing finds with us!✌🤠
The farther you hike, the bigger the stones you need to bring home ...lol! Looks like cavemen used that petrified wood in their BBQ! Petrified charcoal!
wow just wow mate you got some wonderful finds especially the shark teeth, verts and paddle too :0) what an amazing hunt and the piece with the 4 shark teeth could be a sand tiger shark and also it might be worth trying a small prep on it as you don't just get 4 teeth in a row unless it's still in the jaw so you might be able to find some more teeth in the concretion which would be amazing :0) the tooth in the small piece of matrix could be a cretalamna appendiculata shark tooth and the cusp, small tooth just to the side looks really nice and in good condition :0) I will only say you have to go back mate as that place is teeming with fossils :0) very glad the red wagon is up and running again mate :0)
Thanks Robert! That's some good info on the shark teeth 😄 I'm a bit nervous to use my current air scribe on something that delicate, I'm saving up for a microjack from paleotools which would be great for something like this! Thanks for watching and commenting!!
man I would have loved to have gone with you guys as that's a very good hunting spot :0) I agree something as fragile as the jaw with teeth needs something delicate to reveal whats hidden, 4 shark teeth and a jaw section is a super find along with the other bits too :0) thank you for taking us on poss the best hunt of the year so far :0) can't wait for the next one :0)
15:48 - what became of this paddle bone fossil? Was it ever prepped or identified fully? Amazing place and lots of great finds. I hope you go back sometime
It’s so funny. Those seals weren’t bothered one bit. Didn’t even bother waking up. I’m used to all the animals here running for their lives. Or slithering. Or flying. Or swimming.
Wow ! Dude, i have never seen such a beautiful fossil seal as at 7:25... and only so few matrix around it! Preping it will be sooo easy... ;-) All the best finds, someday your moa skull will be right face to face with yours! Greets from Munich, Germany!
Hahahaha or a winch and a crane 😄 I'm finishing off two crabs and then the paddle is next. Hoping there are some more bones hiding in there! Yeah, the wood over there is quite dark, some of it is quite nicely agatized.
So, that really dark colored pet wood--is that considered "jet"? I read somewhere that jet is the Queen's favorite. That mosasaur vert is so cool--never seen one that dark before. And the pedal bones, shark's teeth and belemnites--what an awesome day. Topped only by glamour shots of seals napping under rocks--couldn't ask for a cooler day! Amazing.
@@MamlamboFossils ok then its forgivable 😁 If I ever travel to New Zealand I must visit that location! Marine reptile remains are my favourite fossils!
As has been said many times before below: absolute stunning finds! Will you be featuring a prep-video of the paddle? Hard to say at first glance what it is: plesiosaur or mosasaur, in my opinion, as both have broadly similar shaped phalanges. The difference, I believe, lies mostly in the bones of the underarm or -leg respectively. Would be interesting to see what comes out after a prep... Also, what are the laws and regulations on fossil hunting and ownership in New Zealand? Is export allowed? Can you come in as a foreigner for a fossil-hunting trip? Because with all these accessible fossil riches (and by the looks of your videos significantly smaller collector community) New Zealand seems to me like a fossilers' paradise!
Thanks Alexander for the info on the difference between Mosasaurs and Plesiosaurs! Export of fossils isn't allowed by New Zealand law without a permit from the Department of Heritage and Culture. So if someone was to come in and collect fossils and try and take them out the country, they will be confiscated and usually that person won't be allowed into the country again. I've heard of a few people that have been stopped at the border.
I think that piece of wood weighs about 200kg (440lb) so my kayak won't handle it 😄 I have an idea to use some robes and make a sled... will see how that pans out 😄
WOW - that was a spectacular day!!! I think I mentioned the belemites & biggest pet wood we have found came from there, but have only been there once! I cant say what I'm most jealous of, but sell done guys!
@@MamlamboFossils Awww man, I know those days - the backpack cant hold enough and the knees become your conscience. I popped you an email about the Amberley rocks - did you get it?
Do thank that when it died and fell to the ocean floor that sharks were feeding on it, that's why you so often find teeth? Like a modern day "whale fall".
Good question, we go by the age of the rock in the area. Also, plesiosaurs and mosasaurs are from Cretaceous age locations, not younger that I know of.
A plesiosaurus paddle! Awesome! Dinosaur-era fossils are "it" for me. I just can't get excited over fossils after that time - Eocene, Miocene and so on. There's just nothing "sexy" about them - they're just "meh.........". Dinosaurs though - they're a different matter!
You need to figure out how to get a boat out there and 3 of you strongest friends.. How deep is the water there at high tide? Can you float over the rocks? Wrap rope around the rock and leave a long section of rope and attach a bright colored float. If you can take the boat in you could pull the rock up. Maybe use a small inflatable or tiny skiff and move the rocks out to a bigger boat. Make friends with some local fishermen. I know I have suggested this before but it drives me crazy to see all those fossils left behind. Do it when the water is at its warmest.
I won't be able to get a boat in over there, but I have a plan to go back and fetch it and building a sled to get it over the rocks. I do have a few fisherman friends but they won't be keen to get close to those rocks with their shiny boats 😄 I need one of those flotation devices that wreck divers use to send finds back up to the surface! Thanks for the comment and suggestions, I will keep it up my sleeve!
@@MamlamboFossils That is why I suggested a inflatable raft. You and some friends could even walk it if the water was just over the rocks, take it out to an anchor flat bottomed 3 m boat which would take it out to the fishing boat. Make it like a community project to save the areas natural history. Is there a local museum there that might like to display some of the stuff. Do not give up this is doable. Wish I had money. I would be there in a heartbeat and help you get it done. Have pancake breakfast to raise money. Get local businesses involved. The local university? Might not happen for 3 years or something but start talking up the idea. Ask the people you work with at universities how they did or would get fossils off that beach if they were doing it.. I do not want to hear excuses hahahahaha.
Very cool finds - possible feeding behaviour re the sharks in amongst the Belemnites. The individual sharks' teeth, probably Carcharius sp. Tarapuhi Grit Haumurian c.70 myo. www.flickr.com/photos/nzfossil/6965480556/in/album-72157674584530634/ Great to see the bones. Mosasaur has a quite unique shape, as it convex at one end and concave at the other - helps separate it out from Plesiosaur verts. Hope that is of some help.
Thanks for the info Hamish! That's a good tip about the shape of the vertebrae 😄 I had a look at those teeth on the Flickr link and they are very similar!
Mamlambo also have I told you that my elasmosaurus vertebrae also had stomach contents preserved this included teeth from juvenile sharks gastroliths bone fragments possibly from a small pterosaur and fish bone fragments
You have to post a prep video of the paddle bones, that would be amazing to see in my opinion! Spectacular finds man! Grab the one with the verts with the wagon too lol

These videos are so relaxing and entertaining to watch. I'd love a walk on the beach, but it's still winter here.
Hope the weather gets warmer soon 😄
I would love to see some of your finds cleaned up after hunts. I would absolutely love to be able to find stuff like that.
I think we're gonna need a bigger little red wagon, hahahaha.
Absolutely beautiful finds, especially the possible partial plesiosaur paddle.
Oh man after watching this I feel like I was there in person, I'm so happy.
Good luck on your next trip!
Thanks Marc! I'm glad you enjoyed the video, it's so awesome being able to share it with you! I'm very keen to try and prep that paddle.
Fantastic bone finds! I can't wait to see these prepped. You SCORED, my fine friend! 👏👏👏
Thanks Lizzy! I'm just finishing off a couple of crabs then I will tackle the reptile bones, I have emailed the museum asking if they are interested in any of them, so they might want them to study.
Mamlambo, good on you mate! Enjoy your weekend ahead and stay safe. ☺️

You didn't see how I jumped when it barked at me 😄 I did get quite a fright! I hope I do find a Meg one day, need some younger deposits though.
You would have a hard time getting me to leave that awesome place! I would load up my little fold out wagon! I also would probably be overcome with overwhelming emotions if I ever was in a place like that. I might even cry over the amount of amazing fossils.

How exciting to find the bone fossils. Soooooo coooool!!!

That was a great day! Cant wait to see that articulated paddle prepped! Thanks for the shout out too :-)
Yeah was a really good day! My pleasure!

Looks like cavemen used that petrified wood in their BBQ! Petrified charcoal!
It was quite a big piece!
Fair play great finds. you must have a hell off a collection by now would love to see your full collection one day
Thanks Mike! Some of the finds get donated to museums, so I don't keep it all 😄
I'll have to do a video on my collection when I hit 5000 subs 😄
@@MamlamboFossils that be great id love to see your collection hope the preping is going well

Huzzah. Sisyphus and his little red wagon rides again. That reminds me, you have a log jam of prep work to show us, yes?
Oh man, I do! I'm so behind on the prepping since I broke my stylus! I have ordered the new one but using an old, less efficient, one at the moment. 😄
The one you show around 14:13 with calcite looks like the side view of a crab claw
It does! Thanks for reminding me, I was going to email it to the museum and see what they think.
one of my favourite videos to date,
great finds
Glad you enjoyed it! It's a great place to hunt :)
15:48 - what became of this paddle bone fossil? Was it ever prepped or identified fully?
Amazing place and lots of great finds. I hope you go back sometime
I still have it, I havent prepped it yet. I'm wondering if it could rather be vertebrae 🤔
I love your adventures. Lots of fun. Most of us could walk the beach and see nothing at all
Glad you're enjoying the videos! I think its all about training your eyes, you start noticing the smaller differences 😄
It’s so funny. Those seals weren’t bothered one bit. Didn’t even bother waking up. I’m used to all the animals here running for their lives. Or slithering. Or flying. Or swimming.

Yes you couldn't miss it
Awesome Cretaceous Bones!!!
Thanks Rick 😄 I'm always stoked finding anything plesiosaurus or mosasaurus 😄 Now to go find that jaw!
Some nice bone finds there :)
Yeah, I lucked out this hunt 😄 I've been there before and found hardly anything!
Great finds 😀 Why don't you hunt there more often? Seems to be a very good area!
Thanks Sebastian! It is a very good area, it is just far away from me. Perhaps 4 hours of travel time. So I can't go there often.

The shark tooth was one tooth the others were kusps possibly from a sand tiger or reef shark tho bbn probably not reef cause those are incredibly rare
Thanks for the info killjoy! I love learning about the shark teeth 😄
That huge fossilized wood trunk would be awesome to get hopefully the big rocks around it don’t cover it up

I would love to go there. Some of my best days on the beach are cloudy rainy days.
Same, I love a cloudy day for the beach. Especially since I get sunburn really easily :)
When will you prep the paddle?
i can't imagine you getting your wagon over that boulder field. Perhaps a kayak is a better vehicle?

I will definitely do one. I'm finishing off two crabs and then will do the paddle bones. I've never done marine reptile, so will be a challenge.
Mamlambo that might be easier because it is harder because it has had more time to fossilized. You might need to turn the psi up though
Please show us some prepping of the paddle
Hi Steven! I will do, going to probably try a combination of acid and manual prep on it.
Cool finds.
Thanks Hamish! I was really lucky that day, I've been there before and not found much :)
Good foossil 👍👍 i like
Amazing
Thanks Lee!
I would love to visit there and hunt fossils. Great video
Thanks Bret! It's an amazing spot! Glad you enjoyed the video!
awesome bro
Thanks mate 😁 glad you enjoyed it!
Yeah I wish you could see the vertebrae I have its 38 million years old Orcal medium brown colour with a very shiny patina with a nice matrix
That sounds amazing! You can email me a photo at mamlambo82@gmail.com 😁
14.16 looks more like a weather worn crab claw?
It does, but the shape is so weirdly elongated. Will have to investigate!
@@MamlamboFossils I think that's because it has weathered out making it look long and thin from that angle.
Do thank that when it died and fell to the ocean floor that sharks were feeding on it, that's why you so often find teeth? Like a modern day "whale fall".
Can u show us how to safely extract fossils from big rocks
I haven't tried a really big fossil (like 100s of kg) yet. It's the same concept as the smaller ones but larger tools.
Where is this
It's in New Zealand
I’m just curious but how do you know all of those bones were from the Cretaceous? Just curious.
Good question, we go by the age of the rock in the area. Also, plesiosaurs and mosasaurs are from Cretaceous age locations, not younger that I know of.
The shark tooth in the rock is from a McMurdodus shark
Thanks for the info Levion! I had a quick look on Google and it does look very similar 😄
What a treasure trove
Yeah, it's an amazing spot that 😄😄
Inspiring me to look for fossils during my fossicking
You totally should! I keep an eye out for agates and other cool rocks. Now and again I do find them! 😄
You found an otodus obliques shark tooth
Oooh thanks Renaldo! I'll go do some googling, your surname sounds South African :)
@@MamlamboFossilsits a pleasure. i am an South African, and i have 2 otodus obliques shark teeth

Yeah, mine too!
Idk...i could be wrong but that looks like it could be a tortoise with his legs turned in.
Idc if this is an ad. I found this video amusing.
Glad you enjoyed it :)
There are lodes off bone material there
I know! You have to be picky cause it's a big walk back!
Mamlambo I get ya I know what that’s like I once had to carry a bucket of 50+ concretions a kilometre
But ng a bigger hammer so u can break some of those big ones up
Nice
It's awesome!
Mamlambo yup
I’m at the desert 🏜 🌵 and I found a 69% complete dilophosaurus skeleton and I decided to bring it home but the skeleton is incomplete
Thats incredible!!! I dream of finding an actual dinosaur
I would be chopping some of the big rock. So I could get it home. Dont leave it.
