Where Are All The Squid Fossils?

It might surprise you but cephalopods have a pretty good fossil record, with one major exception. If squids were swimming around in the same oceans as their closest cousins, where did all the squids go?

Makes you wonder just how many things have come and gone without leaving a single trace
@vincentcyr3719

Probably a lot. Fossilization is really rare. Things have to die in the right place, under the right conditions, , not be destroyed by geologic processes, and then be in a place where we can find the resulting fossils. IIRC, I think the estimate is that only like 1% of animals leave fossils, and only 1% of that 1% ever get found.

There is a huge number of living things, that left no usable traces and therefore can not be found or even identified. Even if you can find a fossil, how well must it be presered to actually identify it as a certain species? How do you tell if it es a closely related species or sexual dimorphism? Take the species we have not found any traces of and add the species, that are missinterpreted as not being an own species and we are on the point, that at least 99,9% of the past is still unknown. I mean, how likely is it, that 2 physically almost identical species of song bird can be identified as two species, when we have not more of them, than the usual quality fossils that we know from ancient birds? The fossils are compressed in the sediment, they lost much of their original outer form, all of their color and in most cases some or more parts are missing. Could we tell what is sexual dimorphism and what is another species? The same with fish. Look at all the characids that are living in South America or all the cichlids that are living in Lake Malawi in eastern Africa. Could we tell one species from another, when we have nothing but the usual fossil? There are thousands of different species. The physical differences between them are often very small and sexual dimorphism is a very common thing with them. Many are hard to identify when you don't have a living animal but only one preserved in alcohol. Some closely related species can only be identified as individual species after genome sequencing, which is the main reason why more new species of freshwater fish were described in the past few years. We know almost nothing. The fossil record shows us a very small portion of what had been living and much of it probably is not interpreted right. That is a sad state, when you think of it. But what is much much worse, is that we trigger extinction of nowadays creatures faster than we discover them ore even learn what they really are.

flying squid don't just jump and glide though. They have true, if innefficient, rocket-powered aerodynamic flight. Indeed, while they are likely incapable of reaching their stall speed as an adult, Humboldt squid can still fly ballistically even at 50 kg size and accelerate in mid air.

I guess it could have been the case that a species would evolve only such degree of intelligence after the fossil record only showed some random "monsters" that don't seem to have much to do with any living species or with other monsters on different layers/places. Then maybe this alternate planet's "Darwin" would only come after molecular biology, inferring a planet-wide phylogenetic tree without much of a hint of it from morphology.

I always love watching your videos! I'm a zoology graduate (been watching for four years ever since I was in college)!
Excellent topic and so well explained!

You got me. As an inquiring mind with limited time I initially thought “who cares?” But I realized that I care. This is information I need.
I still have one very important question: What happened to the Eontologist "and Steve"?
When you innocently start watching the new episode and realise it features a study from your Palaeo professor^^
