- More well-preserved dinosaur fossils have been found in Thuringia, Germany, than anywhere else in the world. Almost every skeleton find has become a global sensation. As the archaeologists keep digging, they may have discovered a new species.
Forty-five years ago, geologist Dr. Thomas Martens discovered the first dinosaur bones in an old quarry near Tambach-Dietharz. Since then, he has located 40 skeletons belonging to 12 different primordial dinosaur species, as well a number of insect and plant fossils. A 26cm-long lizard looks like a miniature of the famous dinosaur Tyrannosaurus Rex. Two amphibians of the Seymouria genus lying next to each other are also an important discovery. They all originate from the Lower Permian around 290 million years ago. Similar remains have been found in Texas, Utah and New Mexico in the USA and American colleagues have been coming to Thuringia every summer to excavate for the last two decades. Together, the palaeontologists have unearthed further proof that all of today’s continents were once connected and formed the primeval continent of Pangaea. The scientists are part of a great Thuringian research tradition. Both the first dinosaur skeleton and the first slabs of rock containing saurian fossil remains were found there.

Really amazing documentary. I love that you didn't sensationalize anything and you didn't dumb down the science. I'm used to watching American documentaries that are too heavy on drama and too light on science. Danke!
I agree. It's excellent viewing .
Unfortunately drawing conclusions isn't a new thing, how do you know you're not spreading falsehoods?
Awesome documentary. So satisfying to watch a show like this where people find a site in the permian period. Paleontology is my dream job!
German T-Rex were known as being more orderly and efficient than other T-Rex. But had less sense-of-humor than did other sub-species of T-Rex.
and they love to consume sauerkraut
Not quite correct. Their sense of humour was really badly understood by other T-Rex species. They also had to follow ze rulez.
The german T-Rex was full of humor. He just didn't laugh about stupid behaviour or child like acting but If you told him a smart joke, he wouldn't stop laughing for weeks. But the sad end of his story is: They voted for the Angelius Merklius Bossdino and went extinct XD
Yeah if they'd only ignored those that suggested genocide they would have been known as the most orderly, sharing, advanced carnivores going... well least they learnt from it right right?
Yep they were serious minded for a critter
This is an excellent documentary that takes you to one of the least discussed periods in tetrapod evolution. It takes you beyond the dinosaurs to an era in which the differences between reptiles and dinosaurs had not yet developed. Amazing and very informative. Thank you.
Hi @Jj T,
Thanks for watching and for sharing your thoughts and positive feedback. :-) We're really glad you enjoyed the documentary and hope you find more videos that interest you on our channel.
Best,

What do they mean by "Evolution" and what are they implying? Something from nothing.
Germany needs to make more documentary like this, this is much better than the hollywood melodrama nonsense we get in anglophone countries.
Gemany has a Tonload of Documentaries like this. But most of them aren't available in englisch. :/
we only have such Docus but mostly in german or in french
As an archaeologist I tell ya:
Archaeologists don't dig dinosaurs. Palaeontologists do
But archaeologists takes all the credit

Tyrannosaurus in Germany is a pretty interesting documentary! I truly did appreciate it so much. Thanks a lot for sharing! Keep it up!
Wasn't Adolph the Great a Tyrannosaurus?
Tyrannosaurids dont even live in europe

@@amn2760 It was a smaller VW Tyrannosaurus species. LOL.
Thanks so much for presenting this fascinating documentary!
Very interesting documentary. Those time scales are always stunning to me. Those millions of years.. just mind boggling. A LOT has happened since then. It makes you humble.
It's not so hard. Imagine the whole age of the earth as one day. Then humans would only appear in the last second.

DW produces some of the best documentaries on the planet.
Yup
Thanks for sharing
Amazing discoveries. Bravo to dr Martens for it's insistance !
Dr Martens' grandson is a very lucky kid...
Because he inherited the boot making business of his grandfather?
@@robertpennycook1936 Because he can touch so many real dinosaur skeletons. I dreamed of touching real dino bones when I was small. One would have sufficed :)

There is no country on this planet where we cannot find dinosaur fossils. Eventually it is only a matter of time until we find a frozen one. You may laugh but bear in mind that a university graduate of genetic biology was once very determimed to convine me that this was impossible. A year later they found a piece of amber with a dinosaur tail inside.. always seems impossible until its happened
It's possible, I also believe hole planet is graveyard of dinosaurus, we just dont dig enought
I don't think it's possible. The oldest ice on earth has been dated only to around 8 millions years old. There's just no way that ice has stayed frozen on the surface of the earth for the past 66 million years.
The oldest ice that we know of. It is speculated that antarctica for example experienced a flash freeze as a result of a polar shift. This can happen if there is powerful activity in our solar system ie a huge meteor going past. If the force is strong enough it can make a planet tip over. So antarctica could have been frozen a very long time ago you see. But this is just one example of how much mystery there still is out there.
You tell us
Very true even the best paleontologists admit that we've found less than 1% of the fossils of dinsoaurs alone. Problem is a lot of the corporates hate the delays it causes when we wanna discover something cause they know well protect it. All they think about is how to turn the land into money. They are getting rid of it under our noses wherever they can, ready for next rows and rows of uniform business. UA-cam: Dr Steven Greer. Peace
I love T-Rex documentaries! Many thanks 🙏🏻
thanks you!
What a great idea - making it walk!
Diese Doku auf deutsch wäre super.
Die Original-Doku ist auf deutsch. Diese Übersetzung/Synchronisation hat die Deutsche Welle selbst gemacht (sehr gut wie ich finde).
Leider dürfen solche Beiträge immer nur wenige Wochen oder Monate in der Mediathek der öffentlich rechtlichen Sender stehen bleiben (das regelt in D. der Rundfunkstaatsvertrag).
@11:29 future researchers will be scratching their heads for the reason for those prints.
Wow amazing
I appreciate the effort!
I live in a village in Saxony full of dinosaurs, you can still see them strolling around on the streets every day.
As a paleontologist, I have to disagree with you! There are no Mesozoic rocks in Saxony in which dinosaur remains can occur.
But as a person born and raised in Saxony, I can confirm that there are still some living dinosaurs strolling around in Saxony today! 😉
I love the German paleontologist'sT shirt! So very apt!
Love it ❤️❤️❤️
1 Word :great
Heart touching amazing awesome
One of the best documentaries on utube.A question for the paleontologist: what is the age of earliest T Rex fossils? And more important : what are de regions they were found?.( I read that they be been found only in North America?!?!?!?!?!?!?????)
That creature would be known as Clickus Baitius, found frequently on this channel.
very valuable documentation for the advancement of science in the field of archeology in particular and for lovers of the world of fossils in general.
the dinosynth soundtrack is cool! who is the composer?
I was impressed with Archaeopteryx from Germany, but a Tyrannosaurus, too? Never expected to hear this.
Wow. I wish I had the patience to Dremel a hundred pounds of solid stone.
So..the thumbnail is clickbait. Interesting video, but it's not about T Rex
Hope scientists can clone all dinosaurs back to life❤❤❤
I’m looking forward to walking like the dinosaur in my old age which is just around the corner ahh!
Last summer I found a small Branchiosaurus in Eichstätt - Blumenberg, but no Prof. wanted to belive me
What is the ratio of happenstance, accidental finds versus precedent based and theoretically favored ones I wonder.
One could possibly assertain the answer simply by allowing the pineal gland to envision several subjects combining together. Only when fields of study are mixed like a cocktail can we find the treasure that no rulebook from a scholar's world could find. In many ways because it does not incorporate the abilities or potential of the pineal gland in study and the arts. For example a paleontologist may discover much in his career, but the paleontologist who has studied modern living animals gains an edge. Peace
@@heroesgrantorino : That is fine thinking and writing. Sub'd.
Wenn GEZ sich ausnahmsweise mal lohnt.
If t-rex could talk he would speak german
My first dream job when I was a kid was to be a paleontologist
When you're used to get something translated from English to German, this sometimes sounds pretty weird 😂
Tyrannosaurus Rex in Austrian language: da riesn gfraster 😂
Where is the centre of gravity of a TRex? Would it have tipped over?
Same centre of gravity as a chicken
When I was a child in the 1970s, the Mapinguari was just a mythological monster of the indigenous people of the North region of Brazil. Currently, some people say that the Mapimguari may have been the giant sloth that became extinct 10,000 years ago. Human occupation of the region dates back 14,000 years, so humans and giant sloths coexisted long enough for the creation and transmission of the Mapimguari myth. Is there any connection between archaeological records of dinosaurs and German myths mentioning dragons?
Sounds like Marina Sirtris narrating.
Interesting video, friend! These dinosaurs! Now I understand why the dinosaurs became extinct ... They simply did not know how to smile. Good mood and humor to you!👍👍👍
Im german and when i was a child i also found a bone but they took it away i was soo sad now with 25 i can understand it but yeah that was a sad day for me i cried the hole ride home
Not "archaeologists " but palaeontologists and/or geologists study fossil record.
Ross?
This is a common mistake ...that has NOT been made in this documentation!
Because me and the other palaeontologists would not have allowed them to do that! 😉
There was a group of tyronosorous in germany who hunted 3 million humans between 1941-1944...but now they are are extinct.
How do you know when they are alive and how they look
A recent breakthrough has enabled scientists to recover pigment (forget exactly the process but I just read a book called the Rise of the Dinosaurs and there was a fair bit in there about it) so the science as to the color of dinosaurs (and their plumage) is tight. As for the age: carbon/uranium dating of volcanic rock close to fossil (most often) + previous dating of the strata + secondary dating of other organic compounds found on-site + some slight calibration dependant on known external factors (i.e. more /less of a particular molecule in the atmosphere) + analysis of other fossils from an evolutionary perspective. It's not an exact science, but it's safe to assume we are talking 100s of millions of years for the majority of dinosaur fossils recovered.
The dinosaur village, but its mostly about Permian animals :D
Yep, the UA-cam-title of this dokumentary got lost in translation..
But its not the original titel of the documentary.
Of course the Permian tetrapods from Thuringia predates the first dinosaurs by at least 70 million years.
What the heck did any of this have to do with tyrannosaurids?
That's the leftover of a much larger creature.
Holy shmokes the dinosaur at 26:00 was surprising
Theringer lmao xD
If tyrannosaurus is just chicken, so naka cave Thailand Fossil should be Giant serpent and tapak tuan beach Aceh Indonesia foot print Fossil is Giant alien human race cousin Fossil (they may came from 300 million years ago). Scientest may just not aware of their present yet, because the size just extraordinary to explain.
German T-Rex are distinct from the other T-rex through their Kaiser Moustache
A round pupil?
I want to know what caused the Flooding??
ur mum fell.
The floodplain deposits in the Tambach sandstone and the layered mudstones with the skeletons are the result of regular flooding.
These regular floods were caused by the seasonal monsoon cycle.
İ am Turkish and ı watch documantary like this to grow my English.please make new documantary about space and AI.
two major problems I have with this documentary:
- paleontologists dig up ancient life forms, archaeologists don't. archaeologists research human remains.
- these finds are NOT dinosaurs, as they had not yet evolved in the permian age. all of this has NOTHING to do with Tyrannosaurus
sadly, these journalists don't seem to have even basic understanding of what they are reporting about
Your first point is unfounded. We have been correctly referred to here as paleontologists.
Of course, the early tetrapods from the Permian lived long before the first dinosaurs. (about 70 Mio years)
That, too, has not been misrepresented here!🙂
i didnt know that ed sheeran was a paleontologist 20:06
His name is Dr. Tom Hübner. He may win an "Ed Sheeran look alike contest" but you don't want to hear him sing! (Believe me!) 😆
What I see is animals buried alive under immense pressure
animal getting buried quickly is usually how fossils form
Some T-rex bones are found to have soft tissues in them. Are they really hundreds of millions years old?
Wow
I'm never buying a Charles Tyrwhitt shirt.

the best book u can read is a big Book made out of stone
What people need to understand is that those scientists were not there when all that happened. It's just impossible to know the ages and stuff. They get their numbers wrong all the time. Yet, they teach lots of theories as they were facts. They are just theories. Interesting, but only theories.
Thanks for sharing the video.
Thanks for watching.
I'm pretty sure scientists know these are only theories.
But you are right about the time mistakes
IRON SKY IS REAAAL?!!!
great documentary and a truly interesting geological time period! thanks to the german tax payers for DW ;)
Yup you’re welcome
Great documentary. Thank you!
But...
8:47 - BOOOO! T-rex (and all therapod dinosaurs!) had lips which covered all their teeth. This is a fact.
We know this because the tooth enamel of T-rex is the same as crocodiles. If these teeth are not kept moist, they break down and fall apart. A crocodile doesn't need lips because it lives in the water.
And so today, there is no excuse for displaying a T-rex without lips.
And if a museum is lazy enough to continue displaying lipless T-rex models, then they must update the associated text saying the model is wrong, and displaying an image of what it should look like.
But does it speak German?
Wait a minute, hold up. In the beginning of this vid. you show the discoverer digging the bone out of a soft medium. (Dirt/clay). If this image is correct, then this creature is definitely not millions of years old. More like a couple of thousand, or less . Especially if the bones weren't even buried 25 feet under the top soil. As you know every year, earthworms and other insects turn over the soil, leaves falling off trees add to the mixture along with cosmic dust, increasing the depth of the soil by a rate of a 1/4-1 inch/ year . In other words something found at the soil depth you are showing is fairly recent. (Like just maybe this animal was still alive in the 1600s!) Especially since the bones weren't found in fossilized rock! Or were they? And for some reason you are showing these bones coming from soft dirt?
All fossils at the Bromacker site are preserved in 290-million-year-old rock. Without exception. What you see in the first few minutes of this documentary is Dr. Thomas Martens digging in weathered rock near the surface. If you want to use a scientific term: it is the lower c-horizon (from a soil perspective).
BTW: Central germany is generally to cold to develop red soils. The soil above the weathered red siltstones and sandstones at the Bromacker fossil site belongs to the "Brown earth" soil type.
