Thanks so much for watching everyone! I also meant diameter and not circumference when I was talking about the shark vertebra 😂 There is a 100 or so extra videos on Patreon which I am adding to: www.patreon.com/mamlambo

Cant wait for the prep video of that final cluster

Fossil tours are always fun! It’s great seeing current and past projects together.

Nice finds. I like all your preps but the turtleskull is amazing!!!!

You are so fortunate to have locations where you find fossils. You also have an amazing eye. Thanks for the tour.

In a sea of KZfaq garbage we have great content like this. Excellent results and your genuine passion for this comes across well. Thanks and all the best for your channel.

Please do more prepping on the show I really miss it and it is so great to watch!

So many just amazing fossils, yet to prep! I can't wait until you can start that big bone cluster, the last cluster you showed! And anything plesiosaur or mosasaur would be so cool! To prep them and have a piece of those amazing animals, you can hold in your hand, is just absolutely a dream come true! Those animals were huge and the apex predators of their day! Amazing! Such a huge blessing those were to find! Fingers crossed you have one of each animal, in those bone blocks! And those shark certs are huge! Something that big would only be from a 16 ft shark! They looked much bigger to me! And that shark tooth in that same bone block as the plesiosaur bones is maybe an even cooler find now! And you are more than capable of prepping those bones now! You have worked on some amazing and important projects all ready! You got this! Thanks Morne! ❤

Still crazy you can spot them among the rocks and pebbles!

very cool, all that hard work that went into them, what an amazing job ! thanks

Loved that plesiosaur vert! So many neat pieces!

So cool. I’d love to see any fossils you’re currently in the process of prepping, you’ve built up so many amazing ones over the years I’d love to see. super excited to see one of those massive crabs!

Love to see what different fossils you have, and in the different stages of being prepped. Awesome video!

This was fascinating -- an incredible tour through the collection. Thank you for sharing. Looking forward to whatever you prep in the future.

You have come a long way sir and it shows in the quality of your prep's I look forward to seeing you do some of the bone clusters you have thank you for sharing this wonderful video with us six stars brother

Wow 😮you have some really great fossil,s with some really cool details on them

Love your passion and knowledge..really enjoy your videos

Always glad to see ur videos

Thank You!!!!

So much to look forward to! I admire your patience, and hope that your feeling courageous with those awesome chunks in the near future. Thanks for the video!

Your videos of bone fossils are so interesting . It's hard to imaging the creature that went with those bones! 😮😮😮😅😅❤❤

Also 👏👏👏 Simon absolutely amazing job

awesome find

Enjoyed your hobby video, get prepping. Canada

Very interesting. Many thanks.

Very cool collection, Morne! I'm quite envious, especially since marine reptile material from New Zealand is almost entirely unknown in the rest of the world! I'd also say that most of it - except for the mystery bone, shark vertebrae, and last paddle bone encased in the concretion (which I believe, from shape, to be mosasaur) - can be attributed to plesiosaurs. Awesome! 🤩

❤️

I don't know plesiosaurs well, but that groove under the transverse process reminds me of something you get in the sacral and first caudal vertebrae of lizards. I once collected a 'Megalania' (Varanus priscus) vertebra that I was able to place as a 2nd sacral, which made it useful for size comparison. It was a relatively small individual, probably only about as big as three Komodo dragons zip-tied together.

Hello @Mamlambo Fossils i love your videos you are so relax and interesting ! I would love to see your Miocene fossils :)

Please talk about your air scribes in a lot of detail!! Which ones have you tried? Which ones do you use for different applications? What would you buy now if you started over again? Side by side comparison? There is so little information online for those of us that are trying to get into fossil prep.

Those are huge shark vert big enough for coasters

Now I understand why you also have a space issue 😅. But the showcased fossils looked awesome 😮

Please come to Loch Ness in Scotland with your plesiosaur fossils. You may actually see a real plesiosaur - there's absolutely no doubt that there's a huge long- necked creature with 4 paddles that lurks in the loch (there has to be a family of them, of course)

Do you have any videos explaining how you prep all these fossils? If not, I think it would be a great idea to make one!

Those shark vertebrae are amazing looks like otodus. Is there otodus material from New Zealand?

I think every really educated person can tell You that the mysterious thing in 3:46 is the front of an aliens face! If You doubt, just watch the Alien movies 😂! Despite it I am fascinated of the great meticulously work You're doing and how You present it with humor and expertise. Thank You for that and greetings from Heidelberg, Germany. Besides, the Museum of Geology and Paleontology at Heidelberg University is always a good place to go to on rainy days😊

Shark verts baffle me. It seems those are always what are found and not, ya know, [insert generic fish) verts.

Very cool collection. It's kind of unexpected how relatively common marine reptile bones are (at least, to me). Any idea of what specific group any of these are?

Love from india

😍❣👍

Could the one with calcite crystals be an ammonite or nautilus maybe

hey do you know where to find bones and skulls in france because i am from there and i am willing to find fossils

Your great man, straight into number 1 of the KZfaq fossil film makers for me. Love to hear your thoughts on the next paragraph, you make me want to migrate to New Zealand... Hey man, whats your take on Darwin theory? Some scientists say that even though the fossil records have massive gaps as it takes a specific set of conditions to create beds, it is still clear from the incomplete jigsaw that the theory of natural selection is impossible. Do you think that Trilobites could evolve all the way to the T-Rex and then after the dinosaurs die out a second wave of evolution, from the Trilobites, finally arrives at humans? The God theory states that everything was created in a matter of days just thousands of years ago not millions. This theory also has problems as God surley would not have put a false time record in the rocks by way of fossils to wind us up. Now both science and religion are incomplete and putting them together does not work. What does expert like you think about this? Why are there no fossils before the Trilobites and do you think all the big jumps eventually to T-Rex and Humans are possible? Trying to solve the God Vs Science argument set out in the movie 'Contact' by Jodie Foster and Mathew McConohy many a moon ago.

So cool! Good on you for waiting to prep those early fossils until you gain more skill and confidence in your prepping technique. I look forward to seeing any of them in future. 🦴
