Wow, I'm really surprised to find out that fossils and paleontology isn't very big in Mexico. When I went to school to get my anthropology degree, we had a lot of professors who traveled back and forth between Central America (mainly central/southern Mexico) and the US to archaeological dig sites, and who also ran various field schools. We even had an archaeology lab with artifacts that were brought back to be processed by students. I honestly just assumed paleontology was just as important over there. Hopefully it'll be recognized more as a prized fossil destination for paleontologists, especially with more great finds like this!
A minor correction, Mexico have several instances interested in research and preservations of fosil remains, but is true that only the three mentioned have permanent presence in Coahuila, and one of them, the federal National Institute of Anthropology and History, have a mandate to preserve, research and educate the public about the archeological, historical, paleontological and contemporary cultural diversity of the State (and the country), so is spread very thin.
Trying not to get distracted by the flute version of ievan polka playing in the morning and to not get distracted by the image of a ceratopsian spinning a leek.
You forgot to mention how Mexico is, you know, Ground Zero for the big K-T boom-boulder? The Spanish wiki page for the village of Chicxulub doesn't even mention that potential paleo-mecca. The English one does.
These little ceratopsians are so cute! I hope they can find a fossil of it with more details such as skin impressions of the feet, showing webbing between the toes.
I doubt it would have webbing between the toes as an adaptation for swimming... Even if it were semiaquatic not all semiaquatic animals have webbed toes either.
I hope to see some more dinosaur videos like this, I learn so much from them! Without this UA-camr I may of not have known Tyrannosauroidae existed. Though there is only thing I ask for, could you please explain “Edmarka Rex” the Giant Megalosaurid that from what I’ve seen is almost as big as a Tyrannosaurus rex, it’s ok if you don’t want to E.D.G.E, just a small suggestion if you don’t mind.
I was thinking what could be an indicator of a wholly swamp residing reptile could be the lack of a spiky exterior, since many mosses, vines and various plants would tend to get snagged and coat an animal unless it was relatively smooth. In Ceratopsians, horny bumps would replace long sharp horns and spikes, if an animal were adapted to a swamp existence. edit: ah, I see it mentioned at 15:26 along those lines...
Chilean here: I appreciate your effort trying to pronounce "Diego Barrera Guevara". Just a hint: if it's "Guevara" (I'm 99% that's what you tried to say) then the U isn't pronounced.

Wouldn’t yehuecauhceratops being found in the same strata as agujaceratops, as well as the size difference plus the apparent more developed horns and protrusions, suggest that yehuecauhceratops is just a young (but not juvenile) agujaceratops? Might the smaller amount of specimens of the latter also suggest that maybe the swamp was a “safer” environment that was used by young agujaceratops until a certain stage of development then venturing out into a different environment? Just a thought as I have read a few papers suggesting that several ceratopsians are actually the same species just at different stage developmentally.
Did anyone notice that like... "tribal" version of ievan polka playing? Just started imagining Hatsune Miku dancing with a dinosaur. I also heard the music Vsauce uses.
@@EDGEscience Taphonomy, yeah. But the point is, in the title you ask if this guy lives in a swamp like that would be surprising or unusual. It's hardly surprising, since most of the horned dinosaurs we know of, we already know lived in swamps.
The preferred habitat of the entireJudith River Formation seems to have been coastal swamps, and the reduction in swamps as it transitioned to the Edmontonian corresponded with a reduction on ceratopsians.
It is sad that Mexican paleontology is not taking seriously. Only fields like Medicine, Archeology, biology and geology are the only ones that are being focused if your going to be a professor, doctor or someone working for the oil industry. But archeology is pretty much the main one as Mexico has a rich history such as if you're studying Olmec, Mayan or the like. Dont get me wrong I love Mesoamerican history. But i wish Paleontology can have more spotlight. Heck Latin American nations like Argentina, Colombia, Chile and even the Caribbean loves taking in paleontology. But mexico is just a different category.
Did the western interior seaway already evaporate before the K-T extinction began? On the video, it says that the sea evaporated when the ceratopsian was alive. then did mosasaurs didn't live in the western interior seaway? what's the chronology here?
maby a dumb question but HOW do you determine where to dig for the bones? I never understood this. Do you just start digging and hope for the best or do youwait for a find and then hope for more?
Geology and Geography are the disciplines which have mapped and dated a lot of rock layers as well as outcrops and features the world over. If you know a layer of rock dates to the time of the dinosaurs and there's a lot of outcrops and eroded layers, you are likely to find some bones on the surface which will lead you to their source. That source could be nothing, or it could be a single bone, or it could be an entire skeleton. It's confirmed stratigraphic work, math, planning, luck, and guesswork all rolled into one.
Never sell yourself short. Nothing is out of your league. It's not my field of interest so I don't particularly care too much about it (lots of math), but it is a very lucrative and important and interesting field of study for sure!
@@EDGEscience Thats werry sweet of you darling to say so but I know my limits. Its not selling my self short, just beeing honest.

It's true I've never though about fossils from Mexico. I'm sure it's not accurate but when I think about them I always first think of either Mongolia or "the dry parts of the US". Can't wait to see see the next one.
When Mexico accepts U.S. military aid in wiping out drug gangs and terror groups, a lot will change. Mexico is a ridiculously dangerous place to visit and there needs to be huge reforms and acceptance that either they can’t or won’t allow for change. Whether it’s fear or greed, it’s a country out of control.
Isn't it possible that the Nasutoceratopcini were transitional forms between smaller ceratopsians like Psittacosaurus or Protoceratops, and the largest ones like Triceratops?
@@EDGEscience Yes, best guess for their evolution so far. based on cladistics. I'd rather base science on genetic studies of the DNA, but alas, ancient DNA doesn't survive a few million years, generally.
