The Chatham Island Dinosaur Locality 

Fascinating stuff! Thanks.

Chatham Islands are on my bucket list. There's so much fabulous geology, I'd need at least a month to visit though!

I've watched all the videos here, fantastic thank you.

The dinosaur bones would have been swept down rivers into the sea and settled into deep marine canyons . There must have been a lot of dinosaur carcasses lying around during the extinction period .

Great video! Have pterosaur bones also been found on Chatham Island?

Several species of large dinosaurs hung on through historical times, the most recent in the 1950s-60s. There are art drawings and names in several cultures for plesiosaur, triceratops, "fiery dragon" and sauropod. Sauropods were last known in the 1060s, known as Mokele Mbembe in Congo swamps, possibly still present. The Sauropods are said to have been known in several continents but actual specimens were photographed at California and New Zealand ocean within the last century. Living species previously only known from fossils and presumed extinct rediscovered include the Coelacanth and the Wollemi conifer. Soft tissue of T rex and other dinosaur species have also been discovered , clearly indicating much more recent fossilisation than the presumed extinction era. .

Another great video, and yet another geological mystery. Thanks for sharing, I always look forward to your videos.

Great video guys. Worth mentioning that we know the age of these rocks and how deep they were when they were deposited by the rich assemblage of amazingly well-preserved microscopic fossils preserved in the sediments, especially dinoflagellates, diatoms and radiolarians.

Thanks for posting.

Chatham Island is actually a part of a large submerged peninsula

So fascinating.

amazing information! thank you for explaining this little known (to me anyway) part of NZ

It was never explained why we only have fragments of dinosaur fossils, rather than full limbs or skeletons here in New Zealand?

beautiful stuff to hear some more on the Mesozoic, cause we have sweet fuck all dinosaur fossils.

Guess , where Mamlambo is going to , next .

Dinosaurs never existed team. Sorry to be that guy.
