Pre-lockdown fossil hunt and prep: A full backpack and some mystery concretions

** footage is pre-isolation **
I head out to one of my favourite beaches to see if I can finally track down a penguin fossil. It was a windy day (sorry for the noise!) but I came back with a very heavy and full backpack.
I also do a fossil prep to try and figure out what species the one crab is.
Thanks to everyone that sent me photos for the slideshow, some brilliant fossils in there!

The shrimp from Germany 19:46 were then absolutely fantastic Mamlambo - here in Denmark such a find would be called Danekræ and money would be paid for the discovery from the state. It would probably end up in a museum forever so everyone can enjoy the find. Good fossils do not belong in a collector's drawer IMO. Thanks for your great videos.

You are right, that is a museum quality "shrimp". Aeger comes from greek language and means "God of the sea". By now the preping time is about 260 hours and if it is finished i will show it to my friends of the Paleontological Institute of the Ludwig-Maximilians University in Munich, for sure!

Hi mate, I am a Kiwi now living in Australia. First let me say I watch all your videos. I am an avid fossil collector. We used to live north of Auckland and spent many weekends down on the coast Port Waikato to south of Kaphia. Got some great shark teeth, ammonites, nortiloids and great gastropods. We also spent a lot of time on the Taranaki coast. All sorts of great fossils. I will see if I can locate some of our pics and flick some to you. We have had some fun over here but not as much as I would like. We have some trilobite from Mt Isa very old ammonites from Richmond also sharks teeth from there. Many areas to hunt here but such massive distances to travel, makes it hard to do. Anyway that's enough of my rambling. Flick me your address and I will send you a piece of trilobite. Unfortunately we don't have any fully complete. Regards Graeme

Thank you brother. Staying very safe here in Australia. Hope everything good over there as well. The ancestors would find hearts and lungs and look like triangular-shaped. They would make axes out of them. Often up the top looks beveled, where the aorta or arteries were once attached..
