Dinosaurs of the Mountains

- Mountain fauna is something, unfortunately, left out of most of the fossil record. Due to the limits of the fossilization process, it is rare to find the prehistoric past of mountains. But there are a few examples, which are being uncovered more day by day about those creatures which lived in the mountains.

Is the book 'Ankylosaurus and other mountain dinosaurs'?
WOW I THINK SO!!!!
Ahh that one. Ye, makes sense now

Should be “dinosaurs that look like mountains” 🏔
That's wild. 😊
When I was kid, every time our family went for a hike in mountains, I would imagine what dinosaurs I could encounter there. I had really vivid imagination, so I drew bunch of dinosaurs I ,,saw" on our hikes. Most of them were based on Walking with dinosaurs, which i used to watch all the time. Dome-headed dinosaurs were the Big horn sheep of the Mezozoic to me. I imagined Leaellynasaura roaming the spruce forests, looking for food while avoiding the mountain raptors. There were also relatives of Polacanthus and dwarf sauropods. Apex predator of this made up world was mountain Allosaurus, but it stayed in the mountains only during Summer. This video unlocked some very old memories for me.
Cute
very nice imagination tbh
Good imagination and they honestly mostly make some level of sense. Instead of sauropods it was probably hadrodsaurs in the Cretaceous, and instead of an Allosaur it was probably a big raptor or mid-sized Tyrannosaur.. but man it would be cool if there was a weird offshoot of Acrocanthosaurus hanging in on the mountains, adapted to a niche the Tyrannosaurs couldn't take.
Yo I got a similar memory. Replace "hike in the mountains" with "trip to our house on the lake". Your comment made me remember good times ❤
My dinosaur-related childhood adventures were way cooler than yours tbh
It’s bizarre to think that Scottish people evolved from these dinosaurs. Truly inspiring.
It explains a lot . . .
Lol....be nice yall
Hey I'm Scottish so I'm a dinosaur

Some times, over time, publishers have been known to re-title books. Here are three possibilities for you to consider:
1. Ankylosaurus and Other Mountain Dinosaurs
2. Dinosaur Mountain: Digging into the Jurassic Age
3. Dinosaur Mountain: Graveyard of The Past
Trying to recapture a lost or missing part of a childhood memory is the worst. I hope this helps.
One interesting idea I have heard was the possibility that Brachiosaurus specialized in higher elevations. Which helps explain why they're so exceptionally rare to fossilize compared to the many other Morrison sauropods.
Ok that makes some sense , altough i think a large dino would be odd at high elevations
I don’t think a sauropod would be in the mountains. The selection pressure just isn’t there for a long neck. The trees aren’t that tall and the neck would be an obstacle for eating low lying plants.
@@dstinnettmusic maybe it ate clouds 🦕☁😂
Good point!! Most mountains have a tree line, so unless it lived along the tree line. There would be no point or use for the long neck. In fact surely it would be a disability as the higher up you are, the closer you come to the thinner atmosphere and less oxygen 😃
@@dstinnettmusicMost long necked animals that we know of, such as sauropods, ratites, and giraffes, primarily eat mid-height or low-growing vegetation, at or below shoulder level. A long neck can also just be a good way to reach the ground and far away when you have a tall body and moving is relatively expensive.
BABE THERE'S A NEW BUDGET MUSEUM VIDEO
OH HEY BABE *SHITS AGGRESSIVELY*
I felt seen
😂
There's something soul crushing knowing countless species will never be discovered because of the set requirements of fossilization, There's just no feasible way to catalog every prehistoric fauna and that hurts my heart
There's really something unique about your channel, both the subjects and your style of videos. I especially enjoyed the prehistoric bug bonanza vid, very informative and it always cracks me up
There is also 2 possibilities for lack of fossil of mountainous dinos:
First is we could already have the remains and not be aware they're from mountain dwelling dinosaurs. Most fossils are fragmentary, and bones can move pretty far from original place of death through water movement, gravity, even other animals moving the remains. We could say have a mountain living dinosaur fully described but because it's body was found in river deposits have no idea that it came from a mountain dwelling species.
Second slightly ties into first is maybe mountain dinosaurs weren't living full time in mountains, would imagine mountains would be a difficult place to lay eggs and build nests in unless special adaptations are had (like the borrowing dinos) so it could be they came down to plains or relatively flat areas to lay eggs, fossil remains were found down there and general assumption was made they were plain living dinosaurs when really they were migrants.
Good points. But third, you'd also have to consider what they would eat and how well they could move up there.
Goats are successful mountain dwellers because they're flexible eaters and their stomachs can deal with undemanding plants, and they also have a good body-balance and small, well-balancing feet to cross the rockiest terrain.
So, if you'd be a dinosaur, you'd most certainly have to possess the latter. And you'd need a sufficient source of food, so either plants or prey to hunt. And prey has to fullfil the same criteria, so numbers of prey are probably low as well. After all, herds of sauropods would have trouble moving up there and would find not as much food as in the plains and valleys.
I'd say small ornithopoda and theropoda are still the most likely to survive on the higher mountain ranges, especially Heterodontosauridae, and smaller theropods who would prey on mammals, birds and other more flexible prey.
That muscleman "you know who else" caught me so off guard 🤣 thank you for another fascinating video
Your channel just feeds the prehistoric era of my childhood
My worst fear is living on a mountain with goats and Scottish people.
We aren't that bad the goats are worse man
@@Connor011 I dunno mate took a walk through Glasgow Central at the weekend recently? Christ I'll take the goats any day
@@alexmcvey1609 how many knife wounds did you leave with? lol
We aren't that bad the Scots are worse man

Yeah Thursday to Sunday it's like the Octagon 😏
This is something I’ve been curious about myself. I was wondering how we’d know we found evidence of mountains in the fossil record. It’s very melancholic knowing that some species are going to be lost to time forever.
Whole planets are lost to time forever during solar novas.....this puts a species loss into perspective. All part of each of our limited time to dance our dance in the cosmos.
❤️go dance, friend!
This is awesome! I knew Idaho had a lot of fossil records, but I’d never heard of some of these, nor the Wayan Formation. Thank you!
Which one of the Wayans brothers found it?
Return of the king. You dropped this, budget museum-> 👑
Lovely little vid, that also makes me wonder about which dinosaurs lived in mountain environments.
1. It reminds me of how pacvhycephalosaurs were depicted living in mountains, because of rarity and bring like goats.
2. Other fossil formations with known uplands are:
Sanpetru, of the Retezat mountains
Two Medicine Formation
where i grew up in fruita colorado. there is an abundance of fossils in the mountains and the surrounding valleys, from whole dinosaur fossils to aquatic fossils you can find all over. Its at the confluence of the colorado and gunnison rivers at the far western edge of the state next to utah.
this is so cool! i always thought that it was basically impossible to find fossils in the appalachains b/c the sediment layer thats exposed right now is "older than bones" i never knew there was anything on my side of the country! i havr to look into this! :)
Dude your videos provide a therapeutic level of happiness for me
This was a great video, but I think that it would have been very cool to talk about the yixian formation in china, which had very good preservation and was probably only 50 degrees, probably because of a high altitude
Oooh, a new upload. I’m confident this will be a banger, you always make such great videos
I'm glad I found your channel. It's unique. Informative and fun. I also love that your voice helps with the ambiance.
I see myself expecting videos and getting all excited to know more about dinos.
Thanks for the hard work. ❤
Love the Raptor Red picture! Loved that book as a child!
Excellent video! I’m slowly rekindling my interest in dino’s and I’m real happy I found your channel
As far as I'm concerned, your voice is not monotonous at all. I understand your comment is probably self-deprecation, as 'monotony' (which is highly subjective) is generally considered undesirable.
Voices that do not get in the way of the content, the info they are conveying, to me are perfect. No having to spend energy and mental bandwidth to 'fight' through voices that are loud, unnaturally upbeat, or just in-your-face, is a relief and an absolute delight.
I 'see' the content creator just as well, or maybe even better, when the voice overs are not obnoxious.
Don’t forget the Blackleaf Fm of southwest MT! The Vaughn Member is contemporaneous with the Wayan and it’s fossil assemblage is almost identical, though the Vaughn is slightly lower on the alluvial plain than the Wayan. A lot of research and attention has been put into the Blackleaf Fm recently at Montana State University, so stay tuned later this year as there are a few new discoveries that will hopefully be published by then…🤫
It's all a scam by big paleo the Blackleaf Formation isn't real it was made up in 2006 to sell more Oryctodromeus casts
@@shunosauruslii6809 Ayo I told you that in confidence you’re going to blow our cover smh my head
I didn't know about the Newark Supergroup until now, I live about an hour from Turner Falls so I might have to make a trip out there one day
its a great day when tbm posts!
Anytime I think about all the fossils, plant and animal alike, that were lost to time or never had a chance to form in the first place, I'm legitimately sad. So much life on this planet we have no idea about, and will remain a mystery forever
Pour one out for all the homies who never got fossilized.
You should totally make a video about deep sea fauna.
I had that ENTIRE magazine collection back when I was a child
Great Dino video!!!
Newark truly is a nightmare.
Another excellent budget video
0:31 Hey, that monotone faceless voice has gotten me through many existential crises as I dread mass extinction events and sudden cosmic catastrophe.
Next time you're not sure what a scientific paper says try to contact the author! They'll almost always be glad to talk to you about their work
This is true.

that mountain joke at the end was adorablely hilarious !
could you maybe do a video on the revisited theory that the asteroid wasn't the thing that killed the dinos, but rather multiple catastrophic events, especially volcanic eruptions? There are so many evidence! I'd love to hear your thoughts on it and gathered infos :DD
idk, because like, we found the asteroid and even if other things happened, that wouldn’t change much
@@timestorm5687 the impact happened, that's not what I'm saying. But the theory is that it wasn't enough to kill all dino life on earth
Lake Tahoe minus... LMAO Exactly why I love this channel, informative, interesting, and hilarious. Monotone aside, great video!
It feels like it was yesterday when the mountaintops were teeming with goats, dinos and scottish people
I never realized that there were mountain 🦖🦕.
Thanks for this excellent video.
Interesting to know. Exciting if one does find them.
This actually got me thinking about other places that dinosaurs lived in such as caves but i don't know if there were many considering even mammals have not really conquered caves except for bats
Tyrannosaurus wearing kilts
My girlfriend and I discovered your channel a few weeks ago and we love watching your videos. Keep up the great work!
great video, reminds me of the footprints at dinosaurs ridge here in CO 🦕
Man! My parents and I went to mount Putnam (biggest mountain in blackfoot ID) to get wood and as we were driving up on a hill, we found a rock that turned out to be a fossil of a giant bird. We had no way of getting a 20 foot piece of rock off the mountain so we left it. My dad and I went back up a few years later and found the rock demolished. See a road crew decided to bust it down in order to make way for a bigger road.
:(
Cool presentation. I have to say, your way of talking sounds so similar to UA-camr Vagrant Holiday. I mean that as a compliment. I could listen to that guy ramble on for hours. I never thought about dinos hopping around mountains except for the Pterosaurs before.
I loved Dinosaurs! Magazine. Even after they jumped the shark and started including other prehistoric animals towards the end of the run
A banger as always
That is Wyoming.. Not Colorado.. 7:10. Love your videos!
oooo i know about oryctodromeus!! learned about it after first seeing Beasts of Bermuda's rendition of it!
I also had a dinosaur book that fell off the face of the earth. It was from the late 80s or early 90s and was a kids book with a find it premise similar to wheres waldo but it was a baby looking for its mom or vise versa with many tiny dinos per page. I also remember a lot of teal and purple colors
In the books I saw as a child, the dinosaurs of the plains and swamps always had stratospherically high volcanoes erupting in the background. Wouldn't that make the dinosaurs of the flat lands also dinosaurs of the mountains?
13:38 the most emotion I've ever heard out of him
Just a small correction, I love the Green River formation but it's actually from the Eocene which was 15 million years after the dinosaurs went extinct. However, there are a lot of preserved birds there so I think those can count as mountain 'dinosaurs.'
I think it's pretty clear he's only showing green river to show at the start of the video that mountain fossilization is possible
Robert’s microphone is also prehistoric
Hey man love this stuff but it’s hella bright like I know it’s a knickpick but if you lower the brightness of your uploads it’s be great
I love this channel
I thought you'd talk about mountains existing BACK THEN. xD
I saw someone on reddit claim that the Jehol biota was also a mountain environment. I am not sure if that's true or absolute nonsense, tho.
Good video. Pls consider making a spiritual sequel about rainforest dinosaurs! :B
Could be some dinosaurs did lived on mountains, but those mountains don't exist anymore?
After all natural phenomena such as erosion might have changed the morphology of most habitats to the point is unrecognizable of what it used to be.
0:05 My first dinosaur book and I'm not kidding is called "My First Dinosaur Book"
Not sure how you went back in time to get a young David Duchovny to do your voiceovers, but excellent choice
This is a lil tooo well done for the name budget museum. Love to see to progression 👏🏻🤌🏻
Your videos are so gangster.
Very cool
Babe wake up budget museum just dropped another video
Fav channel , idk if that’s a good or bad thing
Paleontology has always interested me and I've started to pursue that interest. Is there any recomended journal or paper, or even online subscription to further my knowloege on the subject, both its past discoveries and present ones?
I remember seeing a super-realistic like a photo of a theropod dinosaur in a book when I was like 4 years old. Now I cannot find this image anywhere but I remember that one image with theropod dinosaur like Allosaurus or Carnotaurus standing on a hill and there was a blue sky and some kinda trees
At 2:50 the picture is of Lake Mary in Utah.
Enjoyed 🤗
I wonder if some mountain dinosaurs develpoded hoofs to climb better
When you said the second mountain (I can’t spell it) I look right at that exact moment and see them
"Lake Tahoe minus the Californians"
Sounds amazing
Close your eyes and picture Mulder narrating this video
I’ve lived in Idaho my whole life and I’ve never heard of this formation. HOW.
Greetings from Vanished World Trail, Duntroon.
holy shit i had that dinosaur magazine with the 3d glasses lol!
Why are u so relatable
i think aswell mountain formations can depend on the age of them , if its a relitivley new mountain range fault activity might make it hard to preserve fossils.
I'm so annoyed now! As a child I was playing near a quarry where I lived and found these round oblong rocks just scattered in the mounds of sand, dirt and rock. Even at the age of 6 or 7 I was like I found dinosaur eggs! (at that age though didn't realize they were rocks, not actual eggs.) But my parents wouldn't let me keep them and told me to put them back because it would be considered stealing. I'm pretty sure now those were dinosaur eggs, and the quarry owners and operators didn't give a F.... on what they dug up if it wasn't what they were digging for.
Pretty epic
Fuck yeah new video!!!!
"The Appalachians would've been as high as the Himilayas"
As someone from the west coast we don't even consider them to be "real" mountains.
where's the first r in library, dude?
My son did field work with Robert Gay this September near Moab utah.
You mean to tell me that most mountain dinosaurs are…
LOST MEDIA 🙀🙀🙀
Nice
cool video but I lost all ability to pay attention when Robert Gay appeared with his beautiful name
Right as you were talking about your voice I was thinking you actually sound a lot like Fox Mulder
7:10 pained me to see Wyoming labeled as Colorado.
I had those magazines actually i still got them
I was surprised when I found out just what a high altitude Herrerasaurus lived at. We think of Triassic animals as living in vast flat Pangean deserts but not Herrerasaurus; lived on forested mountainsides where it was probably relatively chilly; I expect Herrerasaurus had feathering as an adaption to that.
Scotland mentioned🎉
Will you ever do a video on the family tree of raptors? Like from the smallest to the largest, etc?
0:52 you should say """"Except"""" since they only speculate on those.
Fossilizeizing happens so rarely we only know far less than under 1% of dinosaurs or any creatures who wondered on earth
