    Jared I’m obsessed with your tiktoks! You are living the dream! That Mosasaur vertebrae gave me chills. I’m a second grade teacher, but geology/paleontology was always in the back of my mind! Thanks to you and your videos I’m able to nerd out!

    THANK YOU for talking about atlatls and clarifying that the points (especially the bigger ones) people find that have any real age to them are mostly atlatl dart-points! I'm a flint-knapper myself, and it drives me crazy to hear every single point called an 'arrowhead.' Big difference in point size, propulsion, types of game it was made to take down, how you hafted them, etc. And you found some fine ones. Also, MOSASAUR BONES! Excellent video!

    Great finds there, Jared! It seems your braving the cold weather absolutely paid off! Finding so many projectile points in one day is just crazy (by the way, atlatl - originally an Aztec word - remained in use far after bows and arrows were invented, and the Aztecs used them as instruments of war - whence their name)! And I absolutely love the look of that terminal caudal mosasaur vertebra. It's just so large, I can only imagine it having come from one of the larger species of mosasaur, quite possibly Tylosaurus proriger, based on your location...! Well done! 👏

    • @jcookepaleo
      @jcookepaleo  Рік тому +2

      most schools don't have a designated paleontology degree, the typical approach for us is to major in Biology or Zoology and then specialize into paleo in grad school. I'm a Zoology major for example.
      Also, many academic paleontologists didn't do it in college, I know a few who were engineers, burned out, and then transitioned into it halfway through their life. Anybody can publish papers and do good science. It's not restricted to academics :)
