The fossil had absolutly nothing to do with nick cage troubles😂
James you need to stop thinking of "people with opinions on JWE2 designs" as a single hivemind, where people who on Twitter complained about a design when it was released and people in your comments section disagreeing with your ranking of Acrocanthosaurus. Perhaps these two groups of people are distinct and have separate opinions and priorities about what they like. One group is objectively wrong but that doesn't mean they're the same group disagreeing about the priorities of not including the high spine of Acrocanthosaurus unless you can pick out a particular person who complained about both, which, then you have to prove that they had continued to think that about Australovenator in the time since the pack released and the video came out
The duck! The second you said the dinos name I shouted Duck! XD
Funny how governments claim rights to rocks in the ground like me have you not.
My good Doctor, if you have a PhD, you are *required* to make silly jokes on your topic. *source-Every PhD I have ever known.
Take away Eclipse's building ai privileges they all violent
higliss in heatu
There is also that one group of juvenile Psittacosaurus found with a larger individual which itself wasn't full-grown. Could be an older sibling perhaps?
Dr. Napoli, are you wearing makeup? Or is that lighting or a filter?
Lighting, I swear!
Lowkey slid in that flex like “ya I named a dinosaur😎”
Ross from Friends, giving Palaeontologists a bad name since nineteen-ninety-something
Why didn't you guys mention the Cloaca™???
❤❤❤
I bet it’s psittacosaurus
What about the mummified Borealapelta?
That is a pretty well persevered specimen. But unfortunately if I remember, the hips and that tail weren't persevered. So we still need to interpret 40% of the animal's body.
@ That’s true now that you mention it. It is the best quality preserved specimen but unfortunately not complete and probably harder to study without destroying the fossil than Pssitacosaurus
I've noticed that a lot of the animals featured in this game look rather similar to the ones that appeared in various other Raw Thrills games, not that I am complaining. Devs have to reuse assets from time to time. Although it is a bit weird to see what looks like the giant crabs from the Case of Monsters: Lost Island campaign from Big Buck Hunter Reloaded.
A prehistoric edutainment game by Raw Thrills is surprising, but on the other hand, Raw Thrills do appear to be dino & paleo nerds & I'm not just talking about the great JP game. Their previous games had various lesser known prehistoric animals randomly show up in games like Big Buck HD Wild & Cruis’n Blast.
Marry Anning also became a summonable character in FGO, she even got a little event to play through where u fight a lot plesiosaurs
Honestly one of my favorites. Id 1000% have a pet one if they were alive today.
I dunno man. They might be cute, but they also look like they'd have few qualms about biting off fingers.
As of this video, the average dinosaur ranking is a high B. I did this by assigning a numerical value to each ranking, multiplying that value by the amount of dinosaurs in each ranking, the dividing by the amount of dinosaurs ranked so far. I also excluded the 2 dinosaurs in fiendish Dr. Wu category as they don't deserve to be apart of the equation. If this trend of ranking continues, we can expect an average of low B by the time the rankings conclude.
Small bean
The Dino brag omg hahaha
what about edmontosaurus, as well? wait i just saw the description wha-
The particular "specimen of dubious legality" he refers to is so well-preserved that it's possible to make out details of the cloaca. There's a Ben G Thomas video doing an analysis of the entire thing if you want to see someone tackle what Jimbo was not courageous enough to
@@FragulumFaustum aye, makes sense! was just mentionin edmontosaurus since it's also really well understood, not necessarily with the best fossil- sorry bout that!
Man, sometimes I forget just how awesome dinosaurs and paleontology is, then one of your videos pops up in my notifications and I’m like “ohh yeah, that’s why I love dinosaurs”
Don’t undersell tuna, they are also modern super predators, they can swim so fast they produce heat
I, too, hate the -lovenator pronunciation. Sounds like something out of a bad raunchy novel lmao
G'day folks! Aussie PhD Candidate working on Australian megaraptorids, including Australovenator. I also considered the megaraptoran phylogeny as part of my PhD, but ultimately decided to preserve my sanity. I'm going to try and make this as Aussie sounding as possible: we typically pronounce it "oss-tra-low-ven-ah-tor", but say that really quickly. Megaraptorids are quite prominent in the Australian mid-Cretaceous, but we only have the one really good taxon - Australovenator. We actually see isolated megaraptorid bits in the upper Strzelecki Group (aka "Wonthaggi Formation"; ~121.4-118Ma) and Eumeralla Formation (~113-108Ma) of Victoria; and isolated bits as well as (very) partial skeletons from the Griman Creek Formation (~100.5-96Ma) of New South Wales and Winton Formation (~95Ma) of Queensland. Australovenator isn't Aptian, it's Cenomanian, hence (early) Late Cretaceous - just sneaks in. The oldest megaraptorids in the world are found in the upper Strzelecki Group, which is almost coeval with the megaraptorans of Thailand (Phuwiangvenator & Vayuraptor) and Japan (Fukuiraptor). The megaraptorid record stretches from 121-95Ma in Australia, and then from 90Ma to the Maastrictian in South America. In the Strzelecki, we're seeing megaraptorids with the enlarged claw, among other things (*coming soon). Eumeralla also has megaraptorids with the distinct claw, and this is the formation that Leallynasaura is from. The megaraptorid material has been called Australovenator cf., but it's not quite wintonensis. Both of these deposits lack Sauropods, but are rife with ornithopods. The problem with the Victorian megaraptorids is there is never enough to establish a taxon, so it's all just isolated Megaraptoridae indet. bits and can be overlooked. The cast astragalus "Allosaurus robustus" is NMV P150070 - has been reclassified as Megaraptora indet. so yeah, the Polar Allosaur in WWD should be megaraptoran/id. We don't actually have evidence of megaraptorids from the Mackunda Fm, where Muttaburrasaurus is from, so we don't actually know if they coexisted. Griman creek is where Rapator comes from - none of us know the etymology, I usually just chalk it up to Aussie slang - chuck an "a" in it, and it sounds Aussie 😂 . Yes, it's just a metacarpal I, but it's a megaraptorid-looking metacarpal I. Griman Creek also has "Lightning Claw", a megaraptorid known from ~5 or 6 incomplete and opalised bones, including the proximal end of the big manual ungual. Unfortunately, no metacarpal, so don't know if it's Rapator or not, but it is certainly distinct from (and older than) Australovenator. Winton has Australovenator, and other indeterminate megaraptorid bits. There are no ornithopods there (for now) - just megaraptorids and sauropods. As with anything, we need a ton of fossils to fix the problem. We're trying! Outside of Queensland, though, our deposits aren't great, and so it's usually just isolated, fragmentary bits to tell the story. Also, it's an A. I get the direction they went for the skull (based on the original), but I feel like it looks too allosaur/neovenatorid and not coelurosaur enough.
Genuinely one of my top 5 favorite dinosaurs
I love megaraptorids. They are so good. And the design of this one is so good! I wish they did more/will do more in the next game.
Fabulous nails lizard!!!
For me it seems the best pronunciation is the one that separates the two words: AUstralo VEnator
I enjoyed the Scott slideshow.
Dodosaurus😂
Congratulations that is an amazing achievement
So a tarbosaurus managed to wreck someone from over 65 million years in the past. Nice!
47:00 Martin!!
wait... did one just decide to take a sit down during the release???
Alex: The point here.... Inner Alex: You can't tell people to shut up Alex:.... The point here is that I wasted my time
50:00 when Scott said "You. David." I froze up and just stared him in the eyes. Shaking in my boots. -David
Irritator is geneuinely one of my favourite dinosaurs, this story is one of the reasons why.
Whenever i see a longer thinner sout i assume it encorporates fish into its diet
28:24 quote of the episode
I have no idea why, but this design just feels right without any feathers.
We are all megaraptorines on this blessed day.
Wonder how feathered it was
Troodon is Actually Smartest Dinosaur
Man’s got done so dirty -_-
I'm disappointed that no one brought up the fact that the "ice-pick to the brain" Australian dino officially has a "SASS" rating 😂
It's even better now ❤
Unequivocally lovely
