Wait - was this a fossil hunting video or a video from the New Zealand tourist board??? It looks like paradise! Thanks for sharing all these videos! Best regards/Anders in Sweden!
@@MamlamboFossils 😂😂😂 I was wondering if there is a Mamlambo in New Zealand I was shocked when I found your channel, looking for her in Mount Ayliff must have been an adventure, I hope.
Such an amazing place to live. Extraordinary the areas of different fossil beds. Thank you for sharing your videos and finds with the rest of the world! ♥️👍♥️ The seals being seals was a delight to see. ♥️🦭♥️
listenedto this video😊 five times but I’ve never actually watch it until now. It’s so tranquil and melodic. I love getting out and exploring new fossil localities. So I’m glad you got to find a new beach to scavenge. it really makes you use your brain when you’re pushed out of your normal comfort zone with the sedimentary matrixes you’re used too.
I love your videos. And for me one of the best parts is those timelapse drives. I've never been to NZ and this gives me a good feel for what it is like there. Don't get me wrong: I'm fascinated by the fossils you find as well and the journey you take to get to them, but the driving part always makes me so cheerful :)
This looks almost like a documentary, thank you so much for sharing your journey! After completing my preparator education, your videos are perfect for preparing myself for my NZ trip later this year!
Kai ora Enjoy your trip! It’s a beautiful place to visit. A place you won’t forget. South Island is the best :) it’s bigger here than people think and I don’t think people give themselves enough time to see everything and there is sooo much to see. Oh and if you are coming in the warmer months don’t forget the top of the South Island, so many people miss it, but it’s a paradise up there. Able Tasman National park. Don’t miss it :) ❤ love from the South Island of New Zealand 🇳🇿
What is bookend(bookshelf?) feldspar? Thank you for taking us along on your road trip adventure! It’s helpful for my mind to escape into the natural wonders of your content.
It's when the crystals get broken up and pushed over by strain, like books in a bookcase. You can apparently tell things about the direction of strain but I don't know enough yet!
Though they are similar to penguin tracks, I think they’re Oystercatcher. The way the toe tips are in deeper than the rest of the foot. Penguins tend to be heavy on the heel, and their steps are close together.
My goodness youre nearly half a million subs! amazing because not that many people like fossils so its down to your delivery, or maybe youve got a big family well done cant wait for the big day!
Hey you and me both - on beach on Westport early morning seen the biggest bird feet tracks in the sand automatically thought Jurassic Park and looked to the skies - still NO idea what that was, but l put my hand beside it took a picture and it was bigger than my hand and lve got big Russian coal miner type hands. Crickey.
If it four toes (three forward, one back) it may have been a Bittern. They are wetland birds, so have big feet for walking on soft ground. They’re rare in NZ but do live on the West coast. If it was, you were lucky!
Oh my God!!! Paradise found! You need a nice cold drink and a caddy to carry your treasures 😊

@@MamlamboFossils Good day, why the name Mamlambo, are you from South Africa?
@@justcurious2267 yip, used to go look for the mamlambo near Mount Ayliff

What a beautiful coastline! Those feldspar crystals look really neat!

I just discovered your channel and THIS is a video to watch when having dinner
Beautiful country. Good luck finding something interesting
Thanks!!
What a beautiful country you live in! ❤️

Thanks! I appreciate the info!

I was wondering how much research do you do when looking for fossil locations. And how you go about doing it?
🤘
How do people drive on that side of the road!
I was totally thinking that. Driving becomes so ingrained into your subconscious thoughts and reactions that it feels so alien even just to see it.
In the Buller Gorge (0:24) you don't need to worry about which side of the road to drive on.
What beaches are you going to?
Ones in New Zealand
A beach in NZ guess which one.
Any beach with sedimentary areas!
Will you be coming up to the north island to the beaches here or just south island? Waverly beach near Wanganui has some amazing stuff
Driving a bit fast there, mate. 😜
Nice videography Morne, and I really liked the music you selected. Looks like a beautiful trip; how far did you drive to get there?
Thanks! Maybe like 3 hours? Probably a bit more as I stop often when I drive to check interesting rocks out!
Beautiful area, last vestige of summer. Hopefully winter will turn some rocks over to reveal more finds.
Yip! There's already some new rocks being exposed!
I didn't know yous drove on the correct side of the road down there
Great episode - was this north island or south?
South Island
That’s probably all I’d want to do if I visited New Zealand. Lol
Beautiful area.
Can you share some locations?
I pretty much use the location info from Jocelyn Thornton's Geology book. It's an amazing resource!

Maybe it was a sneaky moa running around 😀
We fossil between seatown and lyme regis in Dorset,our main mission is looking for iron pyrite ammonites and other pyrite preserved shellfish.
Lyme Regis is on my bucket list to visit!
I would highly recommend you do,it's truly a stunning place to be.
Come to indonesia
I want to do something like this.
