    I grew up in Illinois. We have great limestone beds which extend from Pennsylvania in the east to Iowa in the west and Kentucky in the south. This was caused by calcified remains of sea creatures in the Devonian and earlier. Evidently the land turned swampy later and dead vegetation turned into the massive coal beds from heat and pressure over millions of years. I used to find fossilized crinoid stems around an abandoned quarry. We also had an abandoned strip coal mine where there were fossil ferns inside rocks which had once been mud lumps. Very interesting.

As for oil, it is often found near salt domes or area where seas are or once were., In that case the plants and animals rotted on the sea floor liqufiying under mud , rock , and other debris until it sank and occupied pourous rock in seams or pools.

    The Wenlock Limestone of Dudley contains the most diverse and abundant fossil fauna in the British Isles: over 600 species of marine invertebrate, representing some 29 major taxonomic groups. The Wenlock Limestone of Dudley is a fossil lagerstatten, containing rare and important life assemblages, in the form of beds of articulated crinoids (sea lilies) superbly preserved under deposits of terrigenous mud and volcanic clay. Rare annelid and early plant remains have been found, containing soft tissue. The site is the type locality for 186 species of fossil; more than any other British site). 63 of these are recorded nowhere else. Many new taxa, particularly of microfossils, have yet to be described. Dudley’s fossils are among the most perfectly preserved Silurian fossils in the world. This is reflected in the fact that they have always been highly valued and are found in countless museum collections and displays across the globe. Other superlative features of the site include bioherms (fossil ‘patch’ reefs preserved ‘in situ’), and expansive ripple beds, which provide evidence of littoral zone conditions. I live near Dudley which is in the in the middle of england and the aera is also known has the black country.

    What blows my mind is not just that dinosaurs ruled the Earth but that they did so for hundreds of millions of years - a duration that no-one could even imagine. Such a long time that the dinosaurs of 65 million years ago must surely have evolved from a much more primitive version of animal? 🤔

    A very interesting point about the first plant life on the surface of the planet is that a lot of them are still around today just showing how much more resilient the simpler forms of flora and fauna are compared to the more complex and codependent life forms. We THINK an example of the first plant life on the surface was a relative to a modern plant known as Liverwort and they are mostly unchanged from their fossil record sample cousins dating back to 500 million years. You can walk around and find them almost everywhere (at least in the Northern Hemisphere) happily growing out of rock beds of sandstone hidden in the shade just like their ancestors hundreds of a millions of years ago did.

Mars was alo heavily damaged during this event and we see this damage today. The moon, which formely belonged to Tiamat was gravitationally captured by the big chunck of Earth and Water stabilizing it's spin.

The past 2 weeks I've been on a binge of Space content, and you are probably the one I watched the most. I even watched your 7 year old videos. You are producing great content, I really like the passion you talk about this topic. It's tiring to always have "professional narrators" (this is what I call to narrators that have that very distinct cadence, voice tone, and many times very similar voice too, the ones in old documentaries on TV). Keep doing what you're doing, I hope you can continue doing this until you feel like it. I didn't even want to specifically comment on this video, but since this is only the second video of yours that I watched on the premiere day, I decided to leave you a comment so maybe you'd see it.

Another good stop for our fictional alien visitors would have been our red planet. I'm not talking about Mars, but when life turned the ocean red by releasing oxygen, which reacted with iron hydroxide in the ocean filling it with fine particulate rust.

    It is amazing how, as each year goes by, the scientists discover and reveal new facts about Earth's history. Whilst many things are debated, as they should be, intelligent extrapolation leads us ever nearer to clarity about our past. Hopefully erasing superstitious nonsense and folk tales along the way. Science rules. Something we need to keep reminding ourselves of in these insane times.

    Unfortunately, politics rules over science. That's how we can have this wonderful video which accurately depicts how Earth's climate has changed throughout its entire history, and yet, you'll still get people believing that man is causing a climate crisis, and they'll say that 97% of scientists agree without even thinking about who funds those 97% of scientists who are agreeing, or that it's usually the few scientists who discover the truth and have a hard time getting people to believe them (like Galileo). So yeah, money rules... politics rules... science is somewhere on the bottom. Right now, science is nothing more than a tool to spread mass propaganda.

    Alex, you have a humble, intelligent and engaging way of communicating science. Your visual content is possibly the best on KZread, and I watch a lot of space and paleontological videos. I would be especially interested in what you can find regarding the evidence for the proto-planet and Earth collision that created the Moon. I have heard of this many times but have never heard the explanation for this hypothesis. I'm sure you would do an amazing job of it. In fact, you may have already covered it, so a link would be much appreciated if that is the case. Thank you, Sir.

    I like this look of our prehistoric Earth through the eyes of alien visitors. This is how I views alien life in our galaxy. Too many people are caught up in the right now with wondering if life exists out there, and that since we aren't finding any evidence right now, that that means there probably isn't anything out there. Well, we've only been looking for roughly 50 years and have had signals leaving Earth for roughly 100 years. That's literally nothing in the scale of time of the galaxy. This planet could have easily been visited multiple times hundreds of millions of years ago, and there's no way we could possibly know that. That civilization of aliens could easily have gone extinct 50 million years ago. Earth could have been a vacation spot for them, again we would never know. All feasible evidence they could have left behind is gone through weather, erosion, and plate tectonics. At the same time, space is huge and planets are tiny by comparison. There could be ten other star faring civilizations within our galaxy right now, and none of them would even be able to know about each other. Our signals now encompass a roughly 100 light year radius sphere around our sun. There are anywhere between 10-60 thousand stars in that bubble versus roughly 100 billion stars in our galaxy. The probability of intelligent life being within that bubble to hear us compared to outside that bubble is so incredibly small.

I’m simply a layperson who enjoys astronomy and geology, but I’m still a bit surprised I didn’t know of this, but presenting the water formation theory on meteors at 4:00 was a ‘Ohhh, that’s a great notion’ moment. I thought the water on earth coming from meteors made sense, but I just never understood how meteors could be composed of it. It felt like kicking the can down the street thinking meteors were just a convenient crutch to explain the appearance of anything on the earth, but the hydrogen ions combining w oxides on the space rocks is so logical and perfectly plausible.

Such things as continental drift and the moon moving about an inch and a half further away from earth everyday seem so slow as to lack meaning and in human terms, they are. But in geologic or astronomic terms, it absolutely changes everything. Sometimes I look at my front yard and wonder what that space right there will look like in a million years, because a million years is going to pass, regardless,
