This is exactly why your videos are so great, your channel is not mainstream, it's made for people who really want to learn new things and are interested in the subject.
Thanks for another interesting talk, Benjamin. I always enjoy them, especially when they're about fossil groups I know little about, or, as in this case, nothing at all! You have an enthusiasm for your field which is enchanting, as well as educational, and I really enjoy your channel. On my part, for complicated reasons, I now have a lousy memory, so I may well say all this again (and again!). I love your episodes so please stick with it. Where else am I going to get my fix! :)
I just googled this term and it didn’t register as a real word. Ben, you’re right, only the super successful animals like dinosaurs, stem mammals, etc get recognition. Fortunately I was able to find some artist renderings, specifically that of Psittacotherium. I hope more research comes out and that these animals will be popularized
I was listening to one of your videos on the airsacks of birds and dinosaurs, to do with their evolution. If the long neck dinos had these airsacks, as far as I know they would be placed around or in their neck. They're bound to have a fair few to fuel such a large body, even though I'm not fully clear on why these creatures needed these airsacks as to what evolutionary advantage it may give them except to fuel the body as it was so large. How ever I have a few questions, would these airsacks have been reasonably large? There wouldn't appear to be a lot of room in the neck for such organs. I'll make an observation and say that it's very possible that these airsacks could have been seen visibly as folds of skin coming down their neck.It perhaps would make them look unweildy at times. Dinosaurs indeed is a fascinating subject and so many unanswered questions, and sadly mostly what we have is just skeleton but the physical appearance is quite something else!

Yet another beautiful example of life that we would not know of without paleontology
You really do learns something new everyday!
Always great to learn more about prehistoric life.

Thanks, sir. Another great presentation with valuable info! Very appreciated.
Please keep up the good work.
Thank you sir for another great video
Amazing video! Thank you, Dr. Burger!
Fantastic video. Subscribed.
If you possibly have something on Pantodonts and their hypothetical position in the mammal tree, I would love to hear it.
Nice someone is bringing out the forgotten boxes and brushing off the dust and cobwebs. Another obscurodontid burgerii to tickle my cortex.
its bite is worse than the bark!
please take on conodonts in a future episode... most curious as to how you explain them.

Dr. Burger why did you stop posting now over a year ago!? You were the chosen one, the paleontologist who would bring Mr. Beast to his knees!
Thats so cool. Were they placental?
Yup
Do you happen to take students for admissions? I always wanted to be a paleontologist since I first watched walking with dinosaurs.
We do, you can learn more about our geology/paleontology program of study at geology.usu.edu
So were they Placental or Marsupials?
They are placentals
Discover a tiny Taeniodonts and call it a teeny-weenyiodont.

Love your channel. Love to interview you sometime. I run prehistoricmagazine.com, a free publication. Mike
Amazing video! Thank you, Dr. Burger!
