Were there fruits ?????
Thanks I just wanted to know
It is buccal cirri (beu-cul, cer-eye) *NOT bunkal cirkai* , you BLITHERING IDIOT.
I have almost every book SJG wrote, started reading them in my 30s and never stopped. I deeply respect and love him, and though I came to disagree with some of his conclusions later in life, I have never lost my admiration for him and my love of his writing style. In fact, I’m gonna pick up The Hedgehog, The Fox, and The Magistrate’s Pox again, one of my very favorites, and reread it for the umpteenth time. Thanks for the impetus.
I’d love to go to hells creek or some of these badlands locations.
Even if this wasn’t extremely helpful (I knew half of the stuff already and the other half wasn’t relevant as the UK system is very different), this was very entertaining.
Не стоит. Говорят палеонтологи не умеют бегать: в ногах у них какие-то функции нарушаются из-за длительного стояния на грунте.
Hello Benjamin! I absolutely love your videos on the evolution of the chewing and teeth as a dental student. Lately I have become more and more interested in the subject of dental paleontology, do you have any resources you would recommend to learn more about the concept? Not necessarily only textbooks on the evolution of the orofacial complex but the ones that still has cool tooth illustrations! :p. I am especially interested in the dentition of the prehistoric mammals and early humans. But who doesn't like a top predator dino? Haha!
Thank you for the valuable information you provide. I recently found what I think is a fossilized tooth, in Romania on a beach by the Black Sea. I put a little video with it on my channel. I like stones and fossils, but I'm a bit ignorant in the field. Could you tell me your opinion about the stone I found, if it is a fossil and which animal it belongs to? Thank you in advance.
Stop poking the poor guy in the eye!
Excellent presentation. Can you believe there are still paleontologists in 2024 who assert that Dinosaurs did not feed on flowering plants, and were trapped into just eating the declining diversity of conifers and ferns in the Late Cretaceous? And that being the primary reason for their supposed decline in the final 5-6 million years of their existence. Ridiculous. Especially when remnants of early grasses were found in the dental battery of a mid Cretaceous Hadrosaur.
Theres no such thing as anthropogenic global warming, government scammer
Why has Paradox Fm come to the surface from so deep in the Onion Creek exposures?
Love your videos. Where in the world can I find an original copy of The Ceratopsia by John Bell Hatcher, 1907? I bought a reproduction from ebay and it is nice but pales in comparison to the original. I would to have this book in my Dinosaur book collection. Thank you and keep bone hunting.
Ridiculous useless equation
@4:06 "Paraphyletic groups consist of the descendents of the last common ancestor minus..." Don't paraphyletic groups also include the last common ancestor itself, not just its descendents? For example, doesn't "non-avian dinosaurs" include the last common ancestor species of all dinsaurs and birds?
I've seen different charts with slightly different ages for the beginning of the periods, including seeing 542, 541, and 539 million years ago for the start of the Cambrian (even 570, but that chart may have been really old). Therefore, is another reason Geologists and Paleontologists use periods that periods are more durably correct than a date that might shift around a bit as scientists get better at radiometric dating?
Is that the great unconformity
I think the "Great Unconformity" commonly refers to the "event" (of maybe a couple hundred million years? Anyway that some believe to be "Snowball Earth") that came just before the Paleozoic Era started. The Permian-Triassic boundary talked about here is the event that ended the entire Paleozoic.
So if humans spend enough time sitting in cubicles that we evolve to be sessile, we'll just be returning to our sea squirt roots? If so, honestly, half a billion years later, I'm still not ready to grow up.
The way that diagram at @4:55 showed the cleavage patterns from two perspectives and with the little arrows helped me, after seeing many other diagrams that did not help me, to finally understand the difference between spiral and radial cleavage at that stage. Such a small thing, but nice to finally see a version that makes it clear to me :-) Thank you for the lecture.
"YES"
Even Creationists? I’d argue especially Creationists because they view him adversarial to begin with and mostly disinclined to read his ‘dense’ narrative. They’re more likely to misrepresent & strawman him as it is, but would not take the time to properly understand him. A pity.
I found SJG perfectly cogent, honest and quite brilliant.
We should dam this area up, fill it with water to enhance the biodiversity and provide the SW with more fresh water and electricity... No brainer. Boring & desolate land right here.
These 2-part videos are so underrated. Fantastic job. This is where I point everyone who asks me about rock dating. You spare me so much tiresome conversation! Thank you!
This was excellent! I'm in nw nm and I'm trying to figure out what formed this area. Thank you.
I enjoy these geology videos explaining what went on in the distant past. But for me, finding out HOW this information is determined is the most interesting part. Thanks.
Im only 13 so im still young but im set in my goal for paleontology this is a helpful video that i will save for the future but it still will help me choosing what paleontology route i will take thank you alot
Yes me too I love studying dinosaurs and how they might have lived in our ancient world
Not the only East West mountain range found in western US as claimed in video.The west coast features numerous examples of east-west mountain ranges, e.g. Ouachita Mountains,The San Bernardino Mountains,The entire Transverse Range of California trend East and West,Santa Ynez, San Rafael Mountains, Sierra Madre, Topatopa Mountains, Santa Susana Mountains
Texas has lots of Gars.
Was the sea even salty back then? I thought rivers made the sea salty.
I kinda got lost on this. Can you still get a job if you go to a biology class in collage for 4 years? I'm trying to get into the digging up and cracking rocks side of paleontology
Love your videos keep em coming
Man, Eurysids are now just Synapsids but they aren't.
Turtles: Who needs holes, My bite is strong similar to crocs.
Wouldn't the plates have cooled the dinosaur rather than warmed it? Just like large ears on desert rabbits. I dont think getting cold would have been a common problem for them
I’ve been in the military since I graduated high school. I couldn’t afford college until now, and I really, REALLY wanna become a paleontologist. Vertebrate paleo to be exact, in the field and in the lab. I’m trying hard now to study before I get some Cleps in and start studying. It’s hard in the military to get time to study or for classes, but I’m super grateful for this video! Thank you so much, I’ll volunteer at my local museum ASAP and try to start making connections.
I name the drawing “Dave”
I don’t look up at the stars and feel insignificant. I see the scope of the universe, and I feel like a god. Beyond a god. Because, there is so much out there, even more unseen, vibrating between the bright spots. Possibly so much, that it goes on forever. And me, this tiny, insignificant, fragile speck of dust? I’m part of that. I am, you are, we _all_ are, star stuff. We’re not insignificant. We are everything
This was wicked good. A gem. I day dream about them walking around. Thank You very much. 🌟
Fantastic presentation.😎👍🏻 Always was and always will be my most favorite dinosaur. If I was tossed back in time and had to survive back then you bet I'm trapping and domesticating a baby Triceratops for protection and a ride.😊
I would not call Dinosauria paraphyletic, because as many paleontologists who work on Dinosaurs will say, Birds are Dinosaurs and they are included within the clade. Non-avian Dinosaurs(which is used in some papers, sometimes informally shortened to Dinosaurs within papers after being specified) is paraphyletic but Dinosauria isn't. One of the reasons I constantly try to specify this distinction is because the common public perception of Dinosaurs is largely stuck back in either 19th century science or Jurassic Park. The reticence to referring to birds as Dinosaurs largely stemming from thinking that a warm-blooded feathered bird came from a giant scaly lizard, or that ALL dinosaurs are birds. Birds are still very recognizably Therapod Dinosaurs and in some ways have changed less from basal Dinosaurs than Ornithischians like Triceratops. They still retain 3-toed feet, pneumatic skeletons tied to an air-sac system, a wishbone, bipedal stance, S-shaped curved necks and fuzz and feathers. Given they evolved alongside and coexisted many other non-bird therapod lineages covered in feathers and fuzz for the majority of Avian history including Oviraptorosauria, Troodontidae, Dromaeosauridae and other very bird-like Alvarezsauroids and Ornithomimosaurs, they would not look super out of place, especially Emus, Ostriches and Cassowaries.
Vanilla evolution theory is false according to Stephen Jay Gould now we should accept in faith that evolutions happens behind the scenes in leaps. So maybe admit now it has become a religion and not natural science anymore. /the christian
I
I love Utahraptor
Off topic, but this looks like a great area to do some trail bicycling!
I think the work you done on the permian extinction is amazing . I instantly thought of the real city of Centralia where a underground coal fire has been on going for years and it kinda seems the permian extinction is starting to look like a massive scale of that kinda scenario. Along with the volcanos. As a paleo artist you give me great amount of knowledge to accuratly present this time. thx.
Sure hope to see more videos sometime. Family and I, we live in N Utah and love watching your captivating and informative videos.❤
I never made it past the 8th grade. I appreciate this. I have been able to teach my self to write well enough, that I can be understood. I have improved my vocabulary and. I would just never be able to understand what you were saying 38 years ago.
forget stegosaurus, WHAT ABOUT KENTROSAURUS
