  • A while back, I was out fossil hunting with a couple of other people and Marlonique found this amazing fossil dolphin skull! It has been donated to the Canterbury Museum who have had it prepped.

    Thanks so much for watching, what a great find by Marlonique! You can find the discount code for the biltong in my Linktree, I think they only ship to Australia and New Zealand: linktr.ee/mamlambofossils

    So cool to see touch fossils. My wife and I have encouraged 100's of people to touch fossils and continue to do so with our ever expanding collection.

    It just blows my mind to think you can go out on basically a morning walk and find these ancient animals along the shore. How I wish to live in a place ❤

    If I could make a suggestion many people are so used to seeing the phrase please do not touch at first glance when you see the two words please and touch you might assume please do not touch. Maybe you could change the phrasing to feel free to touch all you want or something to that effect

    @7:28 you seem to be missing the big nodule in the top left (next to the one you are handling) looks like there are 3 crab legs sticking out. Although the concretion is not nice and round it looks like there is a crab in there.

    I do enjoy the beach walks and the possible fossils within, but why haven't you make any prep videos of late? They have to be easy to make, since they simply record while you prep the fossils in the rock. I miss those videos! I really enjoy seeing the fossil become visible through the rock as you chip it away. Immensely satisfying to watch that happen. Hope to see more of that kind of content. Cheers!

    What part of NZ do you hunt fossils? Do you have any recommendations for beaches around the Whangarei Region? I would love to get into fossil hunting but I have no idea where to start.

    I am very intrigued as to how all these animals wound up in the same layers, and in very similar concretions...
    Is this a Tsunami deposit? perhaps I am late in this guess?
    I just feel like almost everything you find seems as though it came from some catastrophic event.

    I used to collect shells - The large one you picked up looks like some species of Volute - maybe this one en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcithoe_arabica or related...which can be found in your waters.... looking again it could be a conch or a whelk, but I am going to stick with Volute :-)
