Humans never met them, so the interest died even if there was one. What fascinated me though was the geography. Countries on the map, capital cities, flags.

Some respectful notes on the information from the video (primarily the first part): - Although Pangea was entirely connected, large interior deserts made it difficult for species to move to new regions. This is why the earliest dinosaurs are almost exclusively found in South America; they didn't spread further until the late Triassic. - Carnivorous theropods do predate the Triassic-Jurassic extinction, though as stated the top predators of the time were not dinosaurs. - The Triassic-Jurassic extinction corresponds more closely with the breakup of Pangea than with its formation. - Although the continents began to separate in the Jurassic, the biogeography was still pretty consistent globally. Sauropods were the dominant herbivores, with some Ornithischians being present, while the dominant predators were Allosaurs and, secondarily, Ceratosaurs. When the biogeographies of Laurasia and Gondwana began to diverge during the Cretaceous, Gondwana kept the same biogeography from the Jurassic (with Allosaurs and Ceratosaurs being replaced by Carcharodontosaurs and Abelisaurs, respectively) while Laurasia developed the diversity of Ornithischians and Coelurosaurs (e.g., Tyrannosaurs and Dromaeosaurs) discussed in the video. - Spinosaurs, although they could be longer than other large theropods like Tyrannosaurs and Carcharodontosaurs, were more gracile and therefore lighter weight. They would not have required buoyancy to support their body mass. Additionally, Spinosaurs were also found in South America and, in the case of Baryonix, in Europe. As someone who was (and still is) very interested in dinosaurs, I think biogeography is a useful and interesting lens through which to understand them, and I commend the video for exploring it.

Europe is (again) considered the origin of spinosaurids and Baryonyx was just one of many spinosaurids that lived in early Cretaceous Europe. For example, Vallibonavenarix, Iberospinus, Riparovenator, Camarillasaurus, Seratosuchops, Suchossurus, Riojavenatrix Protathlitis, Ceratosuchops and "White Rock specimen" are from Europe.

I do have one criticism: where are the allosauridae? They play a HUGE role in Cretaceous South America and the Mid Jurassic. Either way, everything else was stellar!

So... when are we getting the biogeography of ancient plants and forests? Would love to see maps of where the Progymnosperms, Calamites, Lycopsids, and Cladoxylopsids first colonized (although I do recall that the plains off of the early Appalachians were some of the earliest forested regions). So much to explore there!

You left out a very large and major part of the theropod family tree: The Carcharadontisaurians. They began in the Jurassic with early off shoots being the likes Allosaurus and Saurophaganax (aka Allosaurus depending on who you ask), and diversified into monstrous big game hunters in the Cretaceous. These were dominant in the ecosystems they were present in, which included Appalachia (Acrocanthosaurus), South America (Tyrannotitan, Mapusaurus, and Giganotosaurus), Africa (Carcharadontosaurus), and Europe (Neovenator). From what I remember, they tended to die out as the Late Cretaceous entered full swing. South America is very interesting in this case as when the Giganotosaurs left the fossil records, the niche for hunting large sauropods (maybe not Argentinasaurus, there was plenty of other sauropods in the area that could satiate them) was left totally vacant and afaik we haven't found anything that took their place. The Abelisaurids, as wonderful as they are, simply weren't capable of filling the niche left behind by one of the largest land predators to exist. As a matter of fact they seemed to be doubling down on the speed demon approach, with Carnotaurus being the fastest theropod we know of being built for running down prey. This was generally the case for Abelisaurids everywhere, constantly living in the Carcharadontisaurs' shadows (India and Madagascar being the obvious exceptions. These amazing animals deserve some attention, but more importantly if you're interested in more biogeographics with relations to dinosaurs but on a smaller scale, check out Hațeg Island specifically. It's a wild ride of dwarfism beneath the shadow of a terrifying animal.

Absolutely great video, puts it really simply and clear. As for the Spinosaurus thing, I think it's just niche filling. Spinisaurs shared their habitat with several other massive, and much more powerful, theropods such as Carcharodontosaurus. An aquatic lifestyle off fish so as not to compete with those predators makes a lot of sense.

Thank you so much for this! It's amazing how much a mapping can really help engage with data, even one as popularized as dinosaurs. Even if it's just a small fraction of the known knowns alongside a lot of "here be dragons" known unknowns, it really helps shake some cobwebs loose and reignite curiosity.

But that area is a vast shallow region. Again, perfect location for aquatic dinosaurs but this time it's the subtropic climate. And the Arabia Peninsula.

The spinosaurus' tail pretty clearly indicates that it swam in water a lot otherwise it wouldnt have evolved a tail so adapted for propelling itself through the water so I would still call it semi-aquatic, but still obviously not to the same degree that crocodiles are semi-aquatic because crocodiles are basically like 80% aquatic and have features for that life that spino simply doesn't.

I would love this series to continue with plants/flora/geology/smaller non-dinosaurs in the mix. In the words of Atlas Pro himself, thanks.

Great video with great information Only nitpick I have is at 8:55 Dynamosaurus is not a separate animal from Tyrannosaurus rex it is just a synonymous name for it which is no longer in use

Your proces of interest, exploration and then synthesising into a story with a clear concept to explain is awesome and makes these really streamlined. And then for some reason you also have a radio voice lol.

The face to face is great. Whenever I watch your vids I feel like putting together all of the graphics is incredibly time consuming so if this helps you push out content faster/easier I am all for it. Really I am for it either way haha. I didn't know I needed to know more about the plants until you mentioned it, I crave it like Brawndo.

Tell me about it, the video is at best grossly oversimplified to the point of falsehood. Amphibians and phytosaurs dominating Triassic ecosystems? Saurischians being ancestrally herbivorous? Sauropods outcompeted in Laurasia? Tyrannosaurs/Dromaeosaurs exclusive to Laurasia and dominating ecosystems as soon as Pangea broke up? And so on and on.

@@lynnk5635 They went extinct in the middle of the late cretaceous and we don't know why. By the time described by Atlaspro here all Allosauroids bad disappeared and their places were taken by Tyrannosauroids in the North and Abelisauroids in the South. Basically the Early to Mid Late Cretaceous was like the late Jurassic but everything was even bigger then for some reason much of those older clades went extinct and you see the appearance of more derived late cretaceous dinosaurs like Ceratopsids (who only became really iconic and big by about 80-90 million years ago. Pachycephalosaurs appeared around the same time. These were confine solely to Asia and Laramidia, though in the last million years before the extinction they likely reached Appalachia but we only have a single tooth as evidence of this.

You seem to be able to answer questions about so many aspects of geography that I could not even formulate yet! Please keep up the work! ANd your face is an excellent addition!

I think the addition of geography is just what we need to really understand what is going on. Please do something similar for plants.

He looks like a Scandinavian Chad, props to you man, lol

This was so so interesting. I've never seen the dinos explained so well before - also, I thought the vlog/face shots were a nice touch! Keep it up.

This simplified what seems like toy-box of animals to an organized collection being displayed. I have many books saying the same thing about their distribution and where certain dinosaurs are found but this really helped.

I love the systems and group approach! Cheers

I think one of the reasons for a lack of diversity in Appalachia is that there just isn't much of a fossil record of the Mesozoic era. Due to erosion, much of our bedrock is Paleozoic or older, same as the Canadian islands and Greenland.

the face reveal we didn’t know we needed

I've never seen dinosaur evolution presented this linearly, this was super helpful thank you!!!!

We need more of these... keep rewatching this

You said your just learning and want to learn so I wanted to let you know that new research shows pachycephalosaurs more than likely didn't smash heads for fighting, their bones were too weak and brittle for such activities

@gundorf2063

3 жыл бұрын

While their skull were brittle, they were covered with healed scars and fractures. It was hypothesised that they might not smash their skulls like mountain goats, but rather more like boars and giraffes, smashing their head against their sides on a swinging motion rather than a frontal charge.

@Dell-ol6hb

3 жыл бұрын

their heads have signs of healing from trauma like that you would get from bashing skulls, so while they may not have headbutted directly they seemingly did actually fight each other with their heads albeit probably in a more indirect manner than straight head to head bashing

One of the best KZread channel out there!

“Bone headed dinosaurs” actually didn’t fight with their heads. Their head design was simply a stage of sexual maturity. You forgot to mention that in Africa theropods like Gigantosaurus and Charcarodontosaurs lived too. Also there were still plenty of dinosaurs from Europe. The Americas also had a decent amount of Dromeosaurids too.

One thing is that the “snapshot” he was using was from 80 million years ago, and carcharadontosaurs generally existed in 100-90 mya so I think that’s why he doesn’t include them. However, carchardontosaurus did exist in Africa for a while with no mention so idk why he didn’t do that

@@mangoboy4924 While geographically it's a snapshot of circa 80 million years ago, biologically it's a jumble of roughly +/- 15 million years of that. He talks about Spinosaurus in Africa (circa 95 million years ago at the latest) and Tyrannosaurus in North America (less than 70 million years ago at the earliest). With that in mind, talking about Carcharodontosaurids would be viable too.

It would be awesome to get a video on plants in the Mesozoic! What kind of plant life was there to support these incredibly massive creatures? How was it different from plant life today (e.g the absence of grass)?

@Raptorclaw62

Жыл бұрын

One of the ways that sauropods are theorised to have been able to support their massive bulks on plants is special adaptations to getting the most out of conifers as is physically possible. The bigger their bellies, the longer they could keep plant matter in there to continue extracting nutrients. I listened to a podcast by Dr David Hone (I think) who talked about how this allowed them to extract more energy out of usually energy-poor vegetation than any other animal and make a non-viable food option usable exclusively by themselves. Pretty cool if you ask me!

His face is exactly what i thought it was. Also, i also have a great curiosity in dinosaurs.
