- The discovery of these Monk Seal Skulls have changed the course of evolutionary history. A short snippet of two incredible seal skulls I have found. With thanks and reference to the Royal Society for their research and work in publishing such an informative report.

With more videos coming soon!
"It was previously thought that seal species evolved in the North Atlantic. The Monk Seal being exclusively northern and (sub)tropical throughout their entire history. The discovery and description of this new species of Monk Seal from the Pliocene of New Zealand, is the first of its kind from the Southern Hemisphere. This forces a profound revision of their evolutionary history.."

Very cool.
This is bucket list stuff for me and my collection! One day, I will explore the north island once again !
Let me know when you make it up!
Impressive!! I wish I lived somewhere you can find fossils like that. Alas, not much to find in my area of Denmark. Some great finds you got :D
It is very special place for sure !!
That's awesome and great production too. How much variation is there in seal populations? This one seemed to have a thinner, longer nose, and larger "cheeks" are those zygomas? Not sure on seal skull anatomy. Cool never the less.
We were just discussing that the other day. I’ll get back to you. We’ll noticed!!
Another video that gives me motion sickness based on how it was filmed. Ugh!
I will try be more smooth. Thank for the tip .. it’s hard when your buzzing with adrenaline lol
He’s a fossil hunter not Steven Spielberg. Picking up rocks and filming at the same time can’t be too easy. I’m here to see fossils not enjoy a movie
