Mamlambo Fossils - Digging Deep Into Fossil Hunting

Wiser Tomorrow

Feb 5 2023 • 1 hr 6 mins

Today I’m speaking with Morne from Mamlambo Fossils. Morne is a fossil hunter living on the South Island of New Zealand, searching for Miocene and Cretaceous era fossils, and preparing them for donation to museums for research or as educational tools for the next generation of scientists. The Mamlambo channel and social media accounts document his discoveries, and inspire others who are interested in fossil hunting, or the many disciplines that are behind the hobby. Morne is nothing short of delightful, and his warm and generous disposition make him the perfect ambassador between amateur and professional fossil hunters and paleontologists. We spoke on many topics, from Morne’s own journey into fossil hunting, to how citizen science offers enormous potential to contribute to the field.
