Fossil hunting: I find the coolest little crab fossil

This footage is from before New Zealand went back into lockdown and was from two days of fossil hunting along on of the beaches near me. A large storm had moved quite a bit of new material into the area and I took advantage of this to find some pretty cool fossils. I had a great time looking for fossils over these two days even though the temperature was just above zero degrees Celsius for most of the time.
I am almost done with the prepping of two large fossils and I will get onto the editing very soon!

I'm fairly sure the first "not a fossil" was actually something of interest, it looked to be a partial internal mould of a nautaloid or ammonite of some kind with those fissures being the suture lines.

@Ontario_Rockhound 2 года назад

Very cool finds. I look forward to seeing the prep videos!

@chubbrock659 2 года назад

Cool finds! It always amazes me how little crabs have changed over millions of years.

@JTD19881369 2 года назад

They've evolved like 5 separate times as well. 5 different lines of crustacean decided that the best body plan was apparently to be a crab. Some of these used to look shrimp like. And over time decided crab worked better.

@OzoneFineArtVentures 2 года назад

That crayfish at 12:20ish is so beautiful. It looks like it would be difficult to prep but perhaps a rewarding result. So many good finds, plenty of crabs! The prep with the microscopy at the end is like a cherry on top of a Sunday! It's so fun to hunt vicariously in NZ with you though I can't wait until winter brings our gravels back. Cheers!

@Corntassels Год назад

That little crab with intact claws just poking out was such a rewarding bit, as was pretty much the entire video haha. I'm pleased to have made it to the "one year ago" videos now, and looking forward to getting caught up. Cheers!

@MamlamboFossils Год назад

hahahah well done! It's crazy to think I have so many videos!

@VincentGroenewold 2 года назад

Damn, that's one hell of a good spot! My boy Robin tried some hunting along Mons Clint in Denmark, but the rocks there are way more uniform and seems more difficult to find stuff. I became a patreon, just to share more of your work with him. :)

@LuisRomero-rd3ic 2 года назад

YES! The fossils find you. The past is SCREAMING at us to be remembered.

Found your videos in lockdown and caught the fossil bug, I never realised how easy it could be! Found a beach known for Cenozoic sandstone and Silurian rocks nearby (Beaumaris, Melbourne), can't wait for lockdown to be over to visit it and maybe find a crab!

@cynthiarowley719 2 года назад

Easy to imagine a beach made of fossils and wave washed dragon bones. Love that worn crab! Stay vigilant 🖖💐

@neesr13 2 года назад

Your cute little crab is adorable. If it were mine I would love it and pet it and sing to it. Simply fabulous! I truly envy your ability to have the joy of looking for such treasures. I have been fascinated by rocks and fossils since I was a child but never got the chance to keep them for various reasons. *sad face* But I still love to see others attain them. Thumbs up.

@christianweidner6819 2 года назад

I want to go there, but I'm on the other side of the planet. Once again, I am with you vicariously through these videos. Thanks for having us along!

@MamlamboFossils 2 года назад

@JTD19881369 2 года назад

If you happen to be on the west coast of the United States and get a chance for maybe a coastal road trip. I suggest Lost Creek Beach south of Newport Oregon, there are similar concretions. I cant say the same mostly they're smaller and you find a lot more clams and such that lived in a silty clay layer. But there are larger cobbles I never had any idea what I could be looking for so I skipped over and left behind all the time. 🤷🏻‍♂️. We know what crab legs sticking out the sides of rocks look like now

@tinarankin9290 2 года назад

@a3skywarrior929 2 года назад

All around great finds! I would go nuts there...rocks, fossils, scenery. Miss my days being stationed by oceans/seas. My buddies would complain about the tide and no fish... while I'm looking for fossils and rocks. Thanks 👍

Keep thinking I'll catch on to spotting a fossil. Everytime you say can you see the fossil, no. If you did find a penguin fossil how heavy would that concretion have to be? 🐧🦀🦈🐋

That one little crab that your friend found I wouldn't touch that one I'd leave it like it is mother nature knew what she was doing when she carved that one out you got a hell of an eye seeing some of the stuff that you do it's amazing how you see it

@alansdorsetfossils4028 2 года назад

I love watching your vids. Can I ask a question on time lapse photography. I fancy doing one on an ammonite nodule from the Jurassic Dorset coast England. I lack the I.T. skills and equipment. Your huge crab prep was amazing I see it took terabytes of data. All I have is a galaxy J4+ phone, or a Panasonic ZT10 camera. I have a good tripod, Any advice can I do it?? with this fairly old tech?

@MamlamboFossils 2 года назад

You can use any camera to do it, its the processing afterwards that takes most of the time. I've done it with free software before (windows movie maker or iMovie) and it worked quite well!

@alansdorsetfossils4028 2 года назад

@@MamlamboFossils thanks for getting back, so my smart phone has a better camera than my Panasonic, so film in real time then speed up in movie maker. I've done fossil vids in movie maker before perhaps I'll give it a try. I am amazed at tech these days when I was your age, the only way to contact New Zealand other than a hugely expensive telephone call would be a shed in the back garden and a 30ft aerial and an HF shortage radio transmitter. Even then atmospheric conditions could prevent comms. It would be very hit and miss.

@leslyeschoenhuth1107 2 года назад

* At the 45 second mark, you were next to a stone that looked like it had fossils encased in stone & I would have broken one open to see if something fun was inside one of the bubbles. LOL ~ You picked up bone at 7:08 mark & ignored the cracked stone. Why didn't you look inside to see if it held a Fossil? ~ It was already cracked for you.. LOL

@emdee7744 2 года назад

Do you know of a method to date intact shells? I found one about 35 feet deep on an exposed earthen bank that had been recently excavated. The land was the site of an ancient prehistory inland sea.
