      From my understanding (I haven’t delved into the science behind the recreation of dinosaurs), but it seems it’s whatever they “think” it looked like. While I understand evolution and the fact that they most likely resembled birds, we have no evidence that the animals looked like any of the renders. At least to my very limited knowledge on the subject.

    Strange! The thumbnail reminded me of John C. Mcoughlin's bonkers idea! And the film WAS about the ideas of ceratopsian shield-musculature that JCM brough up in his book.
    Here's where it gets weirder: up pops an image I drew for a book on Dinosaurs back in the mid nineteen-eighties.
    The front cover of that very same book pops up directly afterwards (Collins Guide to Dinosaurs). I was its Art Director and did a few drawings for it -- one of them being the Triceratops based on the idea from "Archosauria".
    Sidenote: Collins refused to allow us (The Diagram Group) to put our name on the cover of the book. Our main artist put it instead on the Deinonychus tail on the rear cover. It's written in camouflage. 🦖

    Interesting! I really enjoyed this video, thank you for it. I always imagined the big bony ceratopsian frills as combined display structures and neck shields. Even without the lateral horns and knobs, that is a big billboard that can be raised and turned at will and is maximized when in head-down frontal attack position. Paleo artists have delighted in adding colors and striking patterns, which would emphasize species differences, advertise reproductive status, and add to fierce appearance. When under attack by a predator, the neck would be ordinarily be a vulnerable site, but not when covered by a great spiny, bony shield. Having a mound of solid muscle filling the frill not only would immobilize the head as you point out, it would make an attractive mouthful for a big predator biting down from above. So there were likely some jaw muscle attachments on the lower part of the frill, but the head would be fully mobile and the great frill would be free to tilt and turn to best display and defensive effect. An immobilized head would cripple vigilance and food acquisition abilities.

    I love John C McLoughlin's books, SYNAPSIDA, THE TREE OF ANIMAL LIFE and ARCHOSAURIA and especially for his drawings, however, I never could wrap my mind around an adult Triceratops having a fatty hump behind its squamosal bone shield which would as the narrator of this video so rightly states immobilize its neck or at least restrict its movements which does not make sense since it had a ball-in-socket joint in its neck for mobility of same along with its shield presumably for protection against predators although the variety of these shields in other ceratopsian dinosaurs obviously was not actively for defense against predators but for display or both. Up to this time I have been completely mystified as to the tall dorsal spines in spinosaurids and in hadrosaurids. This video offers a plausible explanation to me for the first time.

    Yeah ! Another video on ceratopsian ; my favorite critters. Thanks E.D.G.E !
    So the ceratopsian were back-heavy ? Makes sense. The weight had to be balanced between the front of the body, supporting the head's bony display, and the back. Moreover, an heavy, and probably muscular back would probably allow the animal to shift its body from side to side, while staying in place. That coupled with a flexibe neck, and we get an animal that could hardly get flanked ; or flee if necessary. . .
    Something halfway between a hadrosaur and an ankylosaur.

    Ornithischian life appearance is something I find interesting because they're relatively distantly related to basically anything alive today.

    Good point regarding appreciating “unusual” thinking. The only thing we are truly sure of, is that we have no idea what any dinosaur actually looked like. Quadruped dinosaurs in general are still mostly depicted as too mammalian for my taste, with loping, slow movement. Logically they’d be more bird-like/reptilian. Even chameleons are a hodgepodge of very slow and very fast movement. Yet we never see a triceratops scratching at the ground, a sauropod bobbing or tilting its head, etc. You know, bird stuff.

    Question:
    Since the skull's attachment to the spine was a balljoint, where would the spinal cord go?

    • @EDGEscience
      @EDGEscience  3 роки тому +2

      spinal cords run along the top of the center of the spine, not through it. The cords and nerves would just go up and around the ball joint.

    I'm not saying that ceratopsians necks were like this, but the argument that it would immobilize the head isn't a good argument. Muscles aren't immobile lumps of flesh. They are flexible, soft, compressible, and stretchable. Their heads would still have plenty of range of movement if this hypothesis were true.

    • @EDGEscience

      It would’ve immobilized the head the way it is reconstructed.
