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.

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

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

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.

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!

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!

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

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. :)

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!

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

Fantastic finds, really enjoyed the vid , hope the lockdown ends soon and you can get back out there and do more great fossil hunting for us to watch , I love the prepping vids too , you got the music perfect for it , have fun , peace ✌️ 😎🌴

13:00 basically the same in Danish too, all our Nordic languages have many similarities, but many differences too

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

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.

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 👍

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

It will be 2am here when the video comes out ^^' I'll be sure to watch tomorrow, good night/have a nice day!

So sorry that your still in lockdown🤷‍♂️can't wait for the preps.

Another FANTASTIC video! Thanks so much

It must be difficult to remove the rock from around fossils I can't even imagine what that's like 🦀 And that little crab is beautiful I hope you can free it one day that would be fun to watch Thank You 🙋‍♀️

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.

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?

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!

@@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.

What are all the bright white rocks

* 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

Will you dig them out more in future videos? :o
