Craig, aka Doctor Mud, invited me along for a hunt in the Miocene era shore of North Canterbury. Even with the extreme wind, we managed to find some awesome fossils and had a really good time!
Find of the day for me was a mysterious bone cluster which I took in to the Canterbury museum for some help in identifying. One of the senior curators, Paul, had a look at it and came back with some interesting information. I added this right at the end of the video.
Turns out I had an interesting concretion just sitting in my garden. What I thought was a crab claw sticking out, was in fact a piece of bone! The museum are going to do an exploratory prep on it to see if it's worth spending more time on it.
Thanks to Paul at the Canterbury museum for taking the time to have a look at my finds. Hopefully it is something worthwhile!
