The Biggest Arthropleura? | Largest Fossil Of World’s Biggest Bug Open’s Up Centuries Old Cold Case
Deep time really is a funny concept. The era in which we live, the one created by the K-Pg mass extinction, has only existed for about 66 million years. To put that into perspective, the era before that - the Age of Reptiles - lasted for 186 million years. The one before that - the Paleozoic - also lasted for 186 million years. Obviously start and stop points for these chunks of time are largely arbitrary. Scientists have used major earth-shattering events - such as extinctions - as benchmarks for these major chunks of time, and they just so happen to also usher in major shifts in life and death on earth, as well as major shifts in the very makeup of the earth. I bring up this heavy stuff because I want to show you the comparison in the lengths of some of the most well-known or talked about periods of time - such as the Carboniferous period.

Super Bizarre Mosasaurs Of Morocco
Переглядів 5 тис.21 день тому
Mosasaurs were the top predators of Earth’s oceans for a small but not insignificant chunk of time during the end of the Cretaceous period. Though this animal group is massive, and all have their own differences, they do all share the general anatomical details of an elongated body, a pointy and boxy skull, four flippered limbs, and a long tail that bends down at its end into one half of a two ...
The Real "Nanotyrannus" Found In Mongolia! | Asiatyrannus
Переглядів 2,4 тис.28 днів тому
Tyrannosaurs are everyone’s favorite group of giant bone-crushing bruisers. Their apparent strength and imposing appearances have gifted them a top spot in popular culture. However, their evolution is hard to resolve as evidence mounts that it went in all sorts of wibbly wobbly directions from Europe to southern North America. Each new Tyrannosaur found inserts a small packet of information whi...
Entothyreos Uncovered: Burgess Shale's Ancient Crowned Worm Revealed!

The science of backboneless creepy crawlies is wild. Because we are vertebrate tetrapods, the anatomy of other vertebrate tetrapods comes more naturally to those who take a beat to compare and contrast. Invertebrates, on the other hand, are about as alien as life on earth gets with external skeletons, weird chitinous membranes, slabs of armor connected to all of it that are also part of the ske...
Tiny Pterosaur is Missing Link in Pterodactyloid Evolution | Dragons of Reality

Pterosaur evolution seems to be a remarkably interesting field. This is mainly because after the initial total blank spot between the first hopping Lagerpetids and the first true pterosaurs, truly cavernous unknowns don’t really exist. To clarify, as of the writing of this video, there are a ton of different groups known. In fact, there seems to be almost more variety in large group designation...

Mexican paleontology deserves more attention. Though there seems to be a rarity of complete and diverse fossil material from the region, this is an illusion created by many things, including the economic disparity between Mexico and the U.S. Plenty of parachute science has drip-fed interesting single-digit finds for over a hundred years, but a ton of work by local paleontologists has built up t...

The dinosaurs first appeared during the Late Triassic; they were not the rulers of the world till another mass extinction fully knocked out the surviving stragglers from the Permian mass extinction. So, before the dinosaurs even appeared, the rulers of the world were the archosaurs - the cousins and forebears to the true dinosaurs. Many of them looked quite a lot like dinosaurs - with some even...

Paleontology is a weird field of science. Unlike many other fields that deal with natural phenomena, paleontology manifests itself in various ways. Put simply, there are academics who do a lot of quantifying, describing, publishing, etc, then there’re amateurs who also do most of the same things as academics but without the expensive paper, then there are commercial folks who prospect, excavate...

There are two schools of paleontology - vertebrate and invertebrate. Both have conditions that the other discipline doesn’t have to worry about. Vertebrate paleontology deals with very fragmentary fossils because the only thing that gets left behind by a dead vertebrate is their internal skeleton, which is often destroyed before it fossilizes, or becomes destroyed during the process of fossiliz...

    How is it that when tetrapods return to the sea, they recreate most of the fishy morphology, but none seem to have reproduced gills or other means of exctracting oxygen from water? But could we tell, if they had, or would they be classed as fish?

    • @edgescience2
      @edgescience2 14 днів тому

      Because lungs evolved a really long time ago and would take a long time to evolve into different lungs. Plus evolution tends to evolve in the path of least resistance and whatever works (not the best). So it may be easier to just breathe air once they go back to the water.

      Most of the time if they are making a serious tree aren't they using animals known from more than scraps of bone? Asiatyranus has a decent skull for instance.

    Since 90% of all macroscopic (visible to human eye) species currently exant and extinct ever, have been arthropods, I'd say that vertebrates are the new commer alien genera family of life. 99.99% of all life that ever was and currently living are microscopic. We are the exception.
