  • We are working our way through the Phanerozoic eon, and we got through the Paleozoic era. Next up, the Mesozoic era! In this era we see the rise and fall of the dinosaurs, those beloved beasts. How did this come to pass? What can we say about Earth's topography during this time? Let's take a look!

    I’m really glad that you described in full detail the effects of the asteroid impact at the end of the Cretaceous, instead of vaguely stating “most life and all non-avian dinosaurs died, but now there are mammals”. Great video!

      The birds had already started their evolution in the Jurassic period and, by the time the asteroid hit at the end of the Cretaceous, had already more than 90 million years of evolution unter their belt. At that point they were already pretty close to today's birds in morphology. So, while belonging to the dinosaurs, birds had already fully branched off and come to their own when the main dinosaur lineages where wiped out. In light of that, stating that all dinosaurs got wiped out isn't entirely wrong. Though the better wording would be that all non-avian dinosaurs went extinct.
      BTW, despite the name and similar reptilian origin, Pterosaurs and Ichtiosaurs were not actually dinosaurs but entirely different lineages. And I think it's the same with Plesiosaurs.

    While the chart showing the various eons, eras, periods, and epochs is very informative and accurate, it does distort the relative time frames. I’d love it if you also point out that while the 63 million years of the cenozoic takes up the most space on the chart, it is actually quite small compared to the other periods.

    • @NewNecro
      @NewNecro Рік тому

      It wasn't the worst though.
      Worst extinctions happen when there are long-term effects affecting the atmosphere, like great oxygenation event or mantle spewing lava and CO2 continuously for millions of years.
      While Chicxulub most definitely did kill off majority of large land life it is now more predominantly thought that it was the Deccan Traps was already playing a role toward saturating oceans and atmosphere with CO2, also becoming more active around that time (unknown if by consequence from this or some other impact, but seems unlikely).
      Keep in mind that while Chicxulub was the largest crater of that time we've found it's also very likely it wasn't the only one either.

      @@lcx1876 Most of the time things are consistent. Science changes. Also, aren't you just doing the same? Taking your "evidence" from a book that was mangled by over 50 men over 2,000 years to control peasants and they claimed it was the 'word of god'. You're no different. If an asteroid hit the earth that soon, we wouldn't be alive because nothing larger than a house cat survived.

    Repeating my pseudo-poetic comment from the last episode... It's oddly beautiful that the largest mass extinction was the precursor to the era of giants, the era of dinosaurs.
    I guess that leads me to a question...
    What is your take on speculative biology--the offshoot of alternate history that focuses on what life would be like if certain geological events didn't happen?

    I hate to be that guy, but you made a mistake. A BIG mistake.
    Not ALL dinosaurs went extinct. Only the NON-AVIAN dinosaurs went extinct. Birds ARE dinosaurs, and last I checked, they are still extant.
