Secrets of the Fossil Hall

- The fossil hall at the Smithsonian’s national museum of natural history has inspired and awed visitors for generations. While the hall is currently closed for major renovations (opening in 2019) this video highlights some of the fossils specimens, their condition, and their biodiversity and evolution over time.
SUCH RESPECT FOR THE ARTIST THAT PAINTED THAT MURAL, GREAT WORK WE ARE APPRECIATIVE 🙏🏼
I love this video. Every paleontologist seems so happy telling you the stories of these amazing creatures. They just look so amused to share what they know
Completely unbelievable, when the bald guy with glasses, at about the 4-min mark, says that a previous director or manager of the museum "hated" dinosaurs and so purposely wanted to "hide" the dino exhibit so that visitors wouldn't see it when they first entered the hall, then adds the director's "excuse" for designing the hall that way was to increase the impact of the first sight of the dinosaurs, given that it would be somewhat delayed as they went around the other exhibits before coming upon them. I certainty love dinosaurs and think his "excuse" for the layout simply makes good sense, as it would definitely increase the effect of the exhibit if the experience was momentarily delayed, as opposed to immediately seeing them as they entered the large hall. It would build a bit of "suspense" prior.
i guess Im randomly asking but does anyone know a way to get back into an instagram account..?
I stupidly forgot the account password. I would appreciate any tips you can offer me.
@Sutton Matthew Instablaster =)
@Harlan Rohan I really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and im in the hacking process now.
Takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.
@Harlan Rohan it did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D
Thank you so much, you saved my ass :D
@Sutton Matthew You are welcome :D
Absolutely terrific documentary. Thanks!
All the little stories about the hall are a delight to listen to~
As a lover of specimens (like ancient invertebrates
I went on a field trip here when I was in elementary I’m old now but so many memories
that story that Carol told is just so amazing! can you imagine finding that in that way, its so rare. there must have not been a human there since it had been naturally uncovered by the erosion. wow.
This entire channel is amazing. Idk who is in charge of this channel but if you ever see this keep up the good work. It's a crime that so few people are subscribed to this.
Loved watching this. What a great place.
@3:30 "yeah this weekend we're going to 'Petrified Log-Jam National Park'*" lol 😆
Murals are gorgeous. You feel as though you lived and walked among these wonderful animals.
Love the background music of this video!
Excellent video, full of great information.
Pleasant relaxing music, unlike many modern documentaries with overdramatic and stressful musical background
Great presentation but why add the background music? At times it took away from the speakers.
The incredulousness of this history of the display of these magnificent creatures is appreciated..
18:28 I love the fact that the two specimens he mentions here are Ed and Al xD
As someone who didn't get to see the Fossil Hall before the renovation, I'm glad this video gives some good views and stories.
mjparthum well then you missed out on the ORIGINAL exhibit WHICH WAS WONDERFUL! HATE WHAT THEY HAVE DONE !
WHO WANTS TO SEE FAKE DINOSAURS at the SMITHSONIAN “NATURAL “ History museum ?!!!!!?????????
@@strawbrryfld1 Sure you have and I'm a Kung fu master. If you want to spread lies at least try to make believable.
@@pauloostdijck4730 I'm sure you have just like how I was there when Lincoln got assassinated.
@@pauloostdijck4730 Sorry pal you make up as much BS you can and no one with the right mind will believe something that stupid.
The background music is annoying distracting from the monologues.
Row Deo at least it's not loud
@@bezzie9 -- unfortunately, for those of us who have difficulty in hearing in the first place, it is loud enough to cancel out many of the words, especially when the speaker turns away from the microphone and the voice volume lowers while the music volume remains the same. I am sad to see the Smithsonian apparently doesn't realize this. Without the subtitles, I would have been completely lost. As it is, I could catch most of it, save for the scientific names, which speech-to-text captioning can't handle. :(
J.J. Markin Amen!

I concur.
13:53 when kids find a hobby, they become very astute about the details!!
I understand why they decided to renovate the museum; but when I was a kid I loved how to fossil hall looked and I wish they kept it.
The information included in this is really fascinating, but I wish the music was muted, softer, or a far less distracting genre--it's often hard to understand the speakers.
great docu thanks
I miss this exhibit hall!
It's a shame the Edmontosaurus and Albertosaurus are exhibited in such an inaccessible location in the hall. You can't appreciate them up close.
This guy is the man!
Kill the crappy music. It’s very distracting. Otherwise, a really great documentary.
I was there in 2006 and thought it was excellent.
Was there a hinge point by the spine that would allow the triceratops to raise high at the front?.Bighorn sheep at times lifts its front and lands a blow with body weight. Possible adaptation of the hinge point between bipedal and quadrupedal.
Good directions. And turnip greens
22:22 I've never heard someone pronounce "reptile" like that
a lot of archeologists, and other 'ologist' types purposefully mispronounce words because they are smarter and more correct than everyone else. (I have had to edit my comment due to some morons replying to my comment that cannot understand that I was being SARCASTIC and was calling the 'ologist' types a bunch of smart asses).
Riptor NICE! XD
@@emm789888 dumb reason but ok
@@emm789888 No really but what ever helps you sleep at night I guess.
What a great museum!
The video content is amazing , the back ground music is annoying and very distracting
Great pics of the Smithsonian. Love dinos & the Burgess Shale in Nova Scotia. Amazing places.
I don't understand why the editors don't listen to their final product. Music is often overused, & in this case...sounds like an icecream van. ..bring me a root beer popsicle.
The new hall is groovy and all but *this* is where all my childhood memories that spawned my fascination with prehistory lie. Most disappointing is that the new hall completely ditched those amazing dioramas, I know they're outdated but for me nothing will beat walking past that giant Stegosaurus statue to see the pair of Ceratosaurs biting into that Camptosaurus or the T-Rex and Albertosaurus squabbling over the carcass of that hadrosaur. The 1/8 sized "mini worlds" in the new hall just don't do it for me.
9:12 Does anyone know what that small dinosaur in the grey square chunk of sediment behind the Centrosaurus skull is?
Heterodontosaurus tucki
Great content 👍 but please revise the audio. The background music is to loud it is difficult to hear what is being said.
I like how there's some dumb people in the comment section saying something dumb like giant humans, great flood, and other BS they believe because their feelings are hurt that there is no evidence of their invisible sky fairy ever existeing.
That was certainly a long winded way of telling us the stegosaurus wasnt made of shredded money
I really want to go here.
How can you hate dinosaurs? I can't believe that dude was so insanely selfish.
Thank you
Amazing
It blows my mind when they say a specimen is millions of years old. So fascinating. 💕
I use to believe they were that old but not any more I accept the biblical timeframe
@@cosminbryant1243 can you explain?
@@thattruepyromain5635 the bible time line is different from what they teach also they found Soft tissue in dinosaurs bones proving they are not as old as they say but a few Thousand years at least
@@cosminbryant1243
Hi I was reading about the tiny fragments of “soft tissue” recently. I think if you do some further research you will find that the age of the dinosaur hasn’t changed.
What has changed is our understanding of the preservation of certain molecular fragments.
The research has confirmed that the surrounding iron rich environment (deep within the bone) helps considerably.
The video is on here. It’s called - Soft tissue found in a dinosaur bone!
It’s on the Stated clearly channel.
@@budd2nd but it is impossible for them to be that old
Tragic, I wish we had the mega fauna here in America, they still have mega fauna in Africa and parts of Asia.
I'm surprised you didn't mention your Albertosaurus skeleton should be called Gorgosaurus
They are hiding the N.Y. Giants.
The dinosaur fossils are amazing.
I have wanted to go here all my life....
What killjoy, who works at a museum, hates dinosaurs?
🌟⭐Dr. Sue's, Yay!!!⭐🌟👍🏽✌🏽
Wow this music is great, who put that damn video in there as a distraction?
30:39 Is the name of the artist: Jamie Ternes? please share the name!

This is very interesting I love paleontology that the music is too much it drowns out their voices
So are the bones real and original or fake?
About 50-70% are real fossils, the rest is a mix of reproductions or real thing with reproductions filling in missing parts no such thing as "100% found" in a dinosaur.
The backgroung music has very much intruded into the foreground, and I can't listen to any more. Which is a shame, because the speakers are good.
whats with the music ? I want to hear what they are saying. .
Tiktaalik Tiktaalik/ The Archaeologists call it/ A fish that could do a push-up/ Our ancestor from the water
I was 6 years old the first time my parents took me to the Smithsonian. I lagged behind in the dinosaurs while the rest of the family moved on. My mom found me about 20 minutes later and I had to be dragged screaming from the dinosaurs to go look at airplanes. I was not happy.
liked the older one better, the model of the ancient reef, the hall to the left with the aquatic animals. the collection of dinos in the center and the stairwell that allowed you to walk to the second foor and look down at the dino exhibit. they ruined it
You're the guy from out west fossils💙
Agatized fossil wood. Highly prized as a semi precious gem stone.
OPENING SOON!
@2:00 Why dont you SHOW the "silica anatomy"!?
SHOW the cut in half plant!!??
🧐🤔🤨🤷🏼
🧐🤔🤨🤷🏼
The animals aren’t showing colors. Is that changing?
If we put preparation H on Tom Stanley will he disappear ?
yes Butt in the UK we have the only spiceavour called The MEGGASOURARSE ! and the huge tiny one-eyed DYATHINKYSOURUS !
Interesting
14:57 Its ironic how a now completely inaccurate reconstruction of a Stegosaurus is now a museum piece in its own right!
Dinos were killed off in the great flood!
@@marcdemell5976 If that were true, the all dinosaur fossils from all species would be found within the same strata uniformly dispersed.
That is not the case, different types of dinosaurs are found in distinctly different areas of the geological strata, and many different species do not overlap. T Rex fossils are not found with Stegosaur fossils for example, because Stegosaurs belong to the Jurassic period, while the T Rex belongs to the Cretaceous period.
There is absolutely no overlap between these two dinosaurs, as an example.
@@nozyspy4967 Mans bones were much tinier don't forget , Dino bones last longer because they are much bigger. Who knows what they are holding back {Academia} there has to be a few of man kinds bones with the Dinos ,they are hiding it .That's my conviction.
@@marcdemell5976 Sure whatever you say biblebeater.
Wow
It's extremely rare nowadays for any museum to have the real fossils on display hardly 5 percent of all dinosaur exhibits in the world have the actual fossil on display if you are able to reach out and touch it with nobody looking chances are certain it's a recreation
1:25 dinosaurs do tree cuttung ?
Who doesn't like dinosaurs? Are they okay?
The wind chime "music" finally drove me away at 9:14.
💗💙💙💙
This is a very sad video. People that hate dinosaurs, broken pieces, ignoring the state of the museum with typos and the physical state of 100 year old displays, ignoring the history of the dug piece itself and ignoring its importance to our understanding of its species, putting up 3D scans from the 90s as display pieces which is not something I go to museums to see (imagine a printed jpeg of the Mona Lisa in the actual paintings place), previous employees stealing fossils and the worst part THIS IS SOMETHING WE ALL PAY FOR THROUGH TAXES! Drawn and quartered!
Agree. Whilst i understand & appreciate how vulnerable, precious and rare the fossilised bones are.. I also would prefer to see the real thing, not a copy.
I can only imagine how many amazing fossils out there that are kept hidden away, for only a select few 'research' people to see. Shame, everyone should see.
What's up with that annoying alarmclock sound throughout the whole video
Kirk is the best in here. He should just do videos.
I been here before and now it’s Covid 19

I understand that the fossils are often too fragile to display but the models just don’t have the same impact for me that actual fossils did. I remember when I was a kid wanting to go to each and every little backwater museum that had mounts. Now with the replicas it’s meh. I’d don’t even bother with the large exhibits anymore. Same with archeology installations. If I wanted to look at plastic I’d go to Disneyland. The magic of natural history museums is the very age and authenticity of the displays. It seems like curators, archeologists and paleontologists want to hoard all the good stuff for themselves and keep the “grubby public” away from their specimens.
WHERE ARE THEY HIDING THE SASQUATCH BODIES AND BONES ??
Background music is too loud and distracting
Paleo politics? How refreshing!
The tinkling sound is so annoying. It sounds like somebody's demanding cell phone or a doorbell. "Just a minute! I'm watching 'Secrets of the Fossil Hall' ---- "
So they're models of fossils?
sometimes yea.
like in some museums you dont exhibit real painting because its to valuable and risky to put it on display for someone to fall on it.
Strange how all the material concerning extremely large people seems to have disappeared. Musea's should present ALL archaeological finds, not only the ones that support Darwin's Lineair Evolution Theory.
What have you been reading? And also, what part about extremely large “humans” doesn’t abide by evolution?
Evolution theory have more Evidence than Christian fairy tales.
Bc the evolution model has us hunched over like a monkey and over a course of millions of years that monkey looking bent over creature becomes a standing person, an the evolutionists say we started out like smaller ppl (5 foot height on average)
And we are evolving to have longer arms and finger etc . . .
It’s all a bunch of crazy AZZ ideas. Evolution is a wild religion im TELLING you!
I want to believe! 🥴
It takes a lot to prevent me from listening to something I can never get enough of ... but the background music did just that. What a dissapointment.
TG Brown Wind chime hell
The music is distracting and annoying. Great video though.
Alligators in NEBRASKA? 34:18
i need to know what parts of the beasts were made and what and how much of each one is real would help alot
The background 'music' is distracting and IMO not necessary. The video itself and the information presented was, IMO, at best, mediocre.

Woah woah woah BACK IT UP 3:58 talks about how the then-collections manager hates dinosaur :O HOW CAN ANYONE HATE DINOSAURS??? I get it if not everybody is obsessed with them as others but HATE dinosaurs???? They’re a testament to not just prehistory but to the earth as a whole, they dominated the world for almost over 160 million years, being such one of the most successful species as well as the dominant life forms of their time in earths long history. It fascinates others towards a path into science and wonder and there’s so much we can learn of them by the bones they left behind, and each one tells a story of survival and life in the Mesozoic era. How can anyone hate the stories they have to tell and their legacy as a whole??? I’m not saying the then-collections manager was inexperienced and not helpful to the world of the scientific community as a whole but like really?? Hating dinosaurs?? That’s such a low blow whether how non professional that is to say but that’s just insane.

Watch the video “Is Genesis History “
i did.
its not.
