Creepy fossil hunting adventure - exploring a new area

Рет қаралды 40,461

4 жыл бұрын

I headed off to a new area of North Canterbury, New Zealand, to explore it and see if there are any fossils to be found.
It started off really slowly in a Cretaceous area where I didn't find much, so I decided to move lower down the river to a Miocene era deposits where I managed to find a bit more.
There were 2 weird occurrences on the hunt, the first one was when some rocks got kicked off the top of the cliff onto me. I checked up top but couldn't see an animal that could have caused it. The second one was when I found a creepy doll, something large made a very strange noise in a bush I had just walked past - I can't make out what the noise was. It sounded like a very large crunch. Let me know if you have any theories!
Thanks to everyone that submitted their finds for me to add at the end of the video!
I boosted the levels of the creepy noise to make it stand out a bit more.
Please email me pictures of your finds that you want featured to: mamlambo82@gmail.com
I also have a rockhounding channel which features agate and petrified wood hunting which you can find here: / @mamlamborocks

When you first showed the petrified wood I thought it was just drift wood, but when taking a closer look you could tell it was petrified, great finds!

I really like your channel by the way, when you turned the doll, i think it was originally a teddy bear and the original owner of it was the one that made the noise, i think he or she was glad you found it since i think that a child was taken to that location and killed there, probably the killer dumped the doll close to the road when he was transporting the body and he may have either buried or concealed it under a brush or small tree, the child must have loved that doll so much and when you moved it, the emotion was too much and you heard the noise but then again that it may just be a fignewton of my imagination,

Very interesting deposits........I prospect for fossils in Canada, Alberta. One area that we prospect has layers very similar to what you look to be in. The key indicator is a marine layer with ( anywhere from a foot thick to 20 feet or 6 meters thick) that is mostly comprised of marine soils with lots and lots of broken up shells. Above and below are layers that are terrestrial Dinosaur bearing anywhere from 75 million years old to 70 million years old........the conundrum is that within the marine layer we find lots and lots of Carnivorous Dinosaur teeth......but rarely do we find dinosaur bone? If I were to close my eyes the layers you are prospecting in appear almost identical. I suspect that some of the bone you may be finding is Dinosaur related.......marine bone here in Alberta is much more dense and darkly colored.......just wondering if you have had a similar experience?

@MamlamboFossils 3 жыл бұрын

For some reason, New Zealand has very little dinosaur bones. Only about 8 or so from memory. There are a few theories as to why that is, perhaps the forests were too acidic for example. Or perhaps it is because New Zealand has been underwater for the majority of time? So in short, we don't find dinosaur bones over here, all marine reptiles from my experience. Keep well!
