Ғылым және технология

The Isle of Wight is a traditional British holiday resort. It's well-known for its beautiful sandy beaches, dramatic cliffs, stunning countryside and many tourist attractions.
But did you know that it is also the best place in Europe to find dinosaurs and the fossils of numerous other prehistoric animals, from ammonites to alligators?
Join our palaeontologists Dr Susannah Maidment and Professor Paul Barrett, as well as local experts, to discover what makes the Isle of Wight so special to them.

    This video is great! Next the Natural History Museum, London should create a video about its paleontologists finding the fossils of Tarbosaurus, Monokyus, Velociraptor, Oviraptor, Citipati, Therizinosaurus, Deinocheirus, Nemegtosaurus, Prenocephale, Mongolian Titanosaurs, Protoceratops, Saurolophus, Barsboldia, Kuru Kulla, Corythoraptor, Nemegtabaatar, Gobi Azhdarchids and Gallimimus in Mongolia in the Gobi Desert in the Nemegt Formation and Djadochta Formation and information on the Central Asiatic Expeditions and AMNH/Mongolian Expeditions as well as information on the Hell Creek Formation, Dinosaur Park Formation, Niobrara Formation, Morrison Formation, Cerro Barinco Formation, Crato Formation, La Amarga Formation, The La Brea Tar Pits, Argentina, France and China and all the fossils and specimens found there like Tyrannosaurus, Daspletosaurus, Albertosaurus, Gorgosaurus, Dakotaraptor, Dromaeosaurus, Anzu, Ornithomimus, Ichthyornis, Struthiomimus, Alasmosaurus, Triceratops, Styracosaurus, Centrosaurus, Pachyrhinosaurus, Parasaurolophus, Corythosaurus, Edmontosaurus, Lambeosaurus, Corythosaurus, Euoplocephalus, Ankylosaurus, Pachycephalosaurus, Stylomolich, Pteranodon, Dawndraco, Nyctosaurus, Quetzalcoatlus, Hesperornis, Cimolestes, Didelphodon, ammonites, Cretoxyrhina, Squalicorax, Xiphactinus, Tylosaurus, Elasmosaurus, Polycotylus and Scarphorynchus from the Hell Creek Formation, Dinosaur Park Formation and Niobrara Formation and Allosaurus, Ornitholestes, Ceratosaurus, Torvosaurus, Diplodocus, Apatosaurus, Camarasaurus, Brachiosaurus, Barosaurus, Stegosaurus, Camptosaurus, Dryosaurus and Anurognathus from the Morrison Formation, Giganotosaurus, Mapusaurus, Carntosaurus, Skorpvientor, Patagopteryx, Velociraptorinae, Argentinosaurus, Amargasaurus, Patagotitan, Saltasaurus, Iguanodon, Dreadnoughtus, Secrenosaurus and Tupandactylus from the Crato Formation, La Amarga Formation and Cerro Barinco Formation, Yutyrannus, Qianzhousaurus, Corythoraptor, Caudipteryx, Microraptor, Sirornithosaurus, Psittacosaurus and Repenomamus from China in the Late Cretaceous, Columbian mammoths, Smilodon, dire wolves, condors, American mastodons, giant ground sloths, horses, glyptodonts, short-faced bears, Camelops and lemmings and paleo-Indians that would later become the Native Americans of California/Pacific Northwest and their cultural artifacts from The La Brea Tar Pits and woolly mammoths, saber-toothed cats, wolves, Irish elk, woolly rhinos, cave bears, cave lions and clathotheriums, horses and Neanderthals, Homo Heidelbergensis, Homo Erectus, Cro-Magnons that would later become the people of Neolithic, Bronze Age and Ancient Greek and Roman and Middle Ages Europe from Pleistocene France, Steppe mammoths, saber-toothed cats, wolves, cave bears, cave lions, Pygmy elephants, langur monkeys, Gigantopithecus, Homo Erectus, Homo Floresiensis, Denovisans and early modern humans that would later become the Ancient Chinese and other Asian cultures from Pleistocene Asia and mastodons, gomphotherium, giant ground sloths, Smilodon, glyptodonts, toxodon, Macrauchenia and terror birds from Pleistocene Argentina and early modern humans that would later become the Chavin, Paracas, Moche, Nazca, Chimu and Inca empire. I also love the new logo for the Natural History Museum, London though I still like the original one, but the new one is just as great.

    Is it 'nestled' in the Solent? Or does it form the Solent?

    I love how Paul Barret, curator of Paleontology at the NHM in London appears in this video! He is one of my favorite paleontologists and my idol (I want to become a paleontologist studying non-avian dinosaurs, pterosaurs, marine reptiles, sharks, prehistoric mammals, ammonites and more and work at a natural history museum like the AMNH, Field Museum of Natural History Museum, London when I grow up.) alongside Mark Norell, curator of vertebrate paleontology at the AMNH and Emily Grasile from Brain Scoop. Paul Barret also appears in the Natural History Museum in London’s videos focusing on Sophie the Stegosaurus, Dippy the Diplodocus and dinosaurs, pterosaurs and paleontology and a few of the Prehistoric Planet (2022-2023) Uncovered videos alongside Darren Naish author of Dinosaurs: How they Lived and Evolved. Paul Barret should write and publish his own books focusing on non-avian dinosaurs (theropods, sauropods, and ornithischians), pterosaurs, marine reptiles, ancient sharks, ammonites, prehistoric mammals and other prehistoric animals and so should I.

    The Solent is the streach of water between the Island and the mainland, so it helps form the Solent, not nestled in it.

    Wish I'd known this when I went on a school trip there many, many... Erm, I mean not that long ago. Ahem. I'm not old, honestly! Hunting for fossils would have made me ecstatic! Certainly better than a route-march to a church miles away and abseiling down a piece of boarding. 🙄 What a missed opportunity. Will have to go back now I know this! Cheers!

    I love the Isle of Wright! And I have no idea that museum the Dinosaur Isle Museum existed there focusing on Gideon Mantell, Mary Anning and Gideon Mantell the paleontologists who in that fossil formation discovered the first fossils of Megalosaurus, Hylaeosaurus and Iguanodon and Rhamphorynchus, Dimorphodon and Ophthalmosaurus, Hybodus and ammonites and all the non-avian dinosaur, (theropod, sauropod, ornithischian), pterosaur, marine reptile, shark and prehistoric mammal and ammonite species that lived in the Isle of Wright in the Late Jurassic and Late Cretaceous and Eocene epoch and Oligocene epoch. Me and my family really need to visit it the next time we visit the Isle of Wright don’t you agree?

    Technically that applies everywhere. All land in developed countries belongs to somebody so they own everything on it, even if you have a public right of way. It's a grey area but only gets enforced when items are valuable. In this case you can pick up a bone on the beach and keep it but you can't dig a skeleton out of the cliff.

    6mins 29s like a weird look like not a fossil. Most fossil look is the spiral snail that's circle width as 1 shell, I think it's special. If it's just like that kind of size, if ostrich, giraffe, hippo kind of zoo will be nice anyway, matching "Dinosaur" as the reason. Where is it anyway? Is it near, if think of the manure issit thrown inside sea anyway like if have toilet? Will they be bored, giraffe will eat fruits like planting alot, hippo is dangerous anyway maybe making exploration at border(bridge to enter isle) and cage their feel of sea and having pond too. Just ideas to match the name, just to feel fair(of such name).

    Then a net size of Giant Tuna too? If Rhino issit safe? They maybe will feel bored if keep walking same place(have to bridge too and cage path)? It matches right the fun? If swordfish fish in a giant aquarium? But what can make no sharks then? It is disturbing to heart.

    Did she really use the term „cornucopia“? Due to her youthful voice and the production year I opt to consider this a fluke. 😂
