Glad you enjoyed it!

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

Thanks for you interest, that is great to know

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?

No, only in Hawke's Bay - one single specimen

Thanks for posting.

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

Thanks for your appreciation

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 that info @chrishollis6906 !

So fascinating.

Chatham Island is actually a part of a large submerged peninsula

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

Good question. Because they are found in marine sediments, where they were washed in by rivers, therefore disarticulated rather than whole

@@OutThereLearning Cool, thanks! Does this mean its possible that more intact examples might exist somewhere else in NZ? Or are there other factors that make this unlikely?

@@alexn6060 there are some terrestrial jurassic and cretaceous deposits that could potentially contain more intact dinosaur fossils I think.

Guess , where Mamlambo is going to , next .
