- I honestly have the best viewers and patrons! Without you this vertebra would have been in a dusty drawer for the next 20 years without knowing how awesome it really is!
Thanks Carl and John for leaving a comment, I really appreciate it.
Now I have a mosasaurus vertebra in my collection!

A huge thanks to Carl and John for identifying the bone as being from a mosasaurus! I've put together a linktree with some common questions, like how did the crab get in the rock:

Hiiii
Like I keep saying. You find the most interesting and fascinating fossils. Please keep it up. Also thanks for taking us along. Be blessed.
Thanks so much Francisca!
Incredible find! Great work - and props to Carl and John for the identification duties as well
They are such stars!
It truly is amazing. You got more from a find than you expected which is what makes fossil hunting and preping so speacle.
It's soooo cool!!!
So cool. When I was a kid I found a crab claw fossil in Half Moon Bay California. Very rare. Thank you also for all the work you are putting in to saving these fossils and making them available for study!!! It is so important to remove them and protect them.
Cheers Jesse K.
I'm sending all the ones I can to the museums :)
It is wonderful that we have this to come together and exchange information. Just imagine the finds that are sitting in a box or thrown out with the rubbish before the internet. 🤔👍🍻✨️
Absolutely!! It's so cool that people are so willing to share the information!
*8{|* "Thrown OUT"! Egads No, i refuse to imagine. Yes, it's Marvelous how Wide Eyed a Team we can be.
From an archaeological standpoint, sadly it's all too often. People loot sites thinking they are preserving history, with no recordation, and when they die their family tosses or sells artifacts. With no provenience artifacts are damn near useless and valuable information is lost forever.
That;s a good chunky piece too! Imagine the odds of it coming loose, being transported, deposited, and being picked up before the sea claimed it? Incredible
It was my lucky day!
That is so awesome!!! Wow! Congrats! Makes me wanna dance!!! 🎸💃💜
I was so excited!!! Thanks Karen!!
Awesome and exciting follow-up on this find! Cheers!
Thank you! Cheers!
Great Find. Just amazing. Thanks 4 the link also. 👍👍
80 million years old! Incredible!
It's sooo old!
Congrats!!!🦕🐊
What a score. Your channel and content always fascinates me. So cool. Take care brother.
Thanks so much!!
How exciting for you😍i really enjoy your channel, thank you!
Thanks so much 😊
An erratic fossil! Congratulations on your first mosasaurus vert!
Thanks so much!! It's a really nice one too!
Congrats . Thats an exciting find . I wish I had your eyes for those things .
Thanks! I was lucky to have seen it!
Wow! That’s so cool. What a find!
Awesome finds, good eyes. Congrats!
Thanks!
Great find!
Yep - certainly looks like a mosasaur vert. Good score. Float material? If there are Cretaceous strikes inland - most likely.
Great find
Wow, that's amazing! Congratulations!
Thank you! Cheers!
That’s amazing !
Congrats 👍
Thank you so much 😀
Magnificent,superb
Thank you! Cheers!
That's amazing and so exciting! A Mosasaurs vertebra! That really is amazing! How it got there is a question that comes to mind, but really, it doesn't matter. It did get there and you found it! That's all that really matters. Wow! Congrats!🎉
It's so cool!!! I can't believe it!
Awesome!.. Great find Morne.. Keeps the interest up to find something similar
Thanks Anthony!
Wow that's great!
Write the date down somewhere. When winter arrives--you'll appreciate those two fossils ever more. Good video!
Great idea!
I get concave and convex confused too. I have to remind myself "Concave, cave's in". This helps me a bit, but I still need to take a second to think about it.
I remember it similarly, I have to picture a cave entrance :D
2:33
Concave: The side that _caves in_
Convex: the other side.
Luckily english has preserved its Latin origins.
In German it is a bit more difficult, so we have this mnemonic rhyme:
"Hat das Mädchen Sex, wird der Bauch konvex."
"War das Mädchen brav, bleibt der bauch konkav."
Anyway, thank you for your great entertaining and informative videos!
I always have to think about concave and convex. I'm suspicious of that German rhyme :D
Brilliant ⚓️🧲👍
Always enjoy going fossils hunting with you! You find very interesting things. The vertebrae is a great find! Congrats! 👍✌️💖
Thanks so much!
Concave - You can go into a cave.
Convex - You'll be vexed because you're pushed out.
Anyways, that's how I remember it. 😊
I also have to think of a cave each time 🤣
So cool! I miss the longer videos though!
I'll definitely make a longer video soon!
That is awesome and exciting. One of my daughter's favorite prehistoric animals.
It's a great fossil, one of my favourite as well!
@@MamlamboFossils I've got a smaller tooth a ex gave me years ago. Her and her mother went on fossil hunting trips all the time and she had lots of fossils. Actually made me jealous. Lol
Great find at the time but stunning fossil identification discovery.
All thanks to people with sharp eyes watching the video!
Well spotted that man..
They did great!!
That's so cool! I've been wanting to get into this, what kind of tools are you using?
Good to keep an open mind about such things. Now that you found one, you might find another one on the beach someday.
I hope so!
Awesome wonder!
Thank you! Cheers!
Unbelievably old. Can't get my head around that we still can find things from such long ago. Amazing!
I see a line at about one centimeter from the convex side. Could the convex part be a cartilage disc? Or would that not fossilize?
Some vertebra had a "cookie" on one side, epiphysis, maybe mosasaurs had one as well? Cartilage can fossilize but it looks different to this. Great question!
That's so cool congratulations how is the turtle skull going? Thank you for sharing this with us six stars brother
Still got a couple of weeks to go on the turtle!
I think its had kelp attached to it and the storms have moved it like a sail in the wind.
So cool! Do you mind pointing out what features indicate that it's from a mosasaur? It sounds like you're saying that that degree of concavity is unique to the mosasaur. And also if you can tell what type of vertebra it is? The 3-d model looked like maybe thoracic?
I'm no expert, but the concave, convex nature and size points to mosasaur. Maybe turtle as well? I'm not sure which part of the spine it could be from - I'm still learning 😀
Will you be cleaning it a bit more fully (exposing more of the bony surface)?
I'll leave it as is, the matrix might give a future scientist some clues
What does it feel like to hold a bone that's around 80 million yrs old? 😳 🤯
I always try and picture what the earth looked like when that animal was alive, it must have been so different!
@@MamlamboFossils it is hard to imagine something so long ago when we're on a small scale in that timeline. But the unknown let's your creative side make it interesting. Where's our time travel machines? 😂
What a sweet find. You must be rapt with that.
Kindly, describe, how these fossils turned into a rock. I mean, how get these layers.
Also, how other round stones came into being(as looks common).
(Ill be thankful to you. 🎉🎉)
