Great video guys. Worth mentioning that we know the age of these rocks and how deep they were when they were deposited by the rich assemblage of amazingly well-preserved microscopic fossils preserved in the sediments, especially dinoflagellates, diatoms and radiolarians.
The dinosaur bones would have been swept down rivers into the sea and settled into deep marine canyons . There must have been a lot of dinosaur carcasses lying around during the extinction period .
@@OutThereLearning Cool, thanks! Does this mean its possible that more intact examples might exist somewhere else in NZ? Or are there other factors that make this unlikely?
Several species of large dinosaurs hung on through historical times, the most recent in the 1950s-60s. There are art drawings and names in several cultures for plesiosaur, triceratops, "fiery dragon" and sauropod. Sauropods were last known in the 1060s, known as Mokele Mbembe in Congo swamps, possibly still present. The Sauropods are said to have been known in several continents but actual specimens were photographed at California and New Zealand ocean within the last century. Living species previously only known from fossils and presumed extinct rediscovered include the Coelacanth and the Wollemi conifer. Soft tissue of T rex and other dinosaur species have also been discovered , clearly indicating much more recent fossilisation than the presumed extinction era. .

Fascinating stuff! Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I've watched all the videos here, fantastic thank you.
Thanks for you interest, that is great to know
Chatham Islands are on my bucket list. There's so much fabulous geology, I'd need at least a month to visit though!
Yep, it's a great place to visit!

Thanks for that info @chrishollis6906 !
Great video!
Have pterosaur bones also been found on Chatham Island?
No, only in Hawke's Bay - one single specimen
Wait so what dinosaur(s) are those three bones at the end of the video from????? I wanna know who that wonky toe belongs to
Another great video, and yet another geological mystery. Thanks for sharing, I always look forward to your videos.
Thanks for your appreciation

Thanks for posting.
Chatham Island is actually a part of a large submerged peninsula
Yep, very big one!
amazing information! thank you for explaining this little known (to me anyway) part of NZ
Cheers!
So fascinating.
beautiful stuff to hear some more on the Mesozoic, cause we have sweet fuck all dinosaur fossils.
That's one way of putting it lol! Cheers
3:29 Geological artifact vandalism, no one can walk along the coast to see it in in natural form from the damage caused.
It was never explained why we only have fragments of dinosaur fossils, rather than full limbs or skeletons here in New Zealand?
Good question. Because they are found in marine sediments, where they were washed in by rivers, therefore disarticulated rather than whole

@@alexn6060 there are some terrestrial jurassic and cretaceous deposits that could potentially contain more intact dinosaur fossils I think.
Guess , where Mamlambo is going to , next .
:-)

😂😂😂 Let me guess, none of what you speak is verified by anyone of any repute
Dinosaurs never existed team. Sorry to be that guy.
