    What blows my mind is not just that dinosaurs ruled the Earth but that they did so for hundreds of millions of years - a duration that no-one could even imagine. Such a long time that the dinosaurs of 65 million years ago must surely have evolved from a much more primitive version of animal? 🤔

    I grew up in Illinois. We have great limestone beds which extend from Pennsylvania in the east to Iowa in the west and Kentucky in the south. This was caused by calcified remains of sea creatures in the Devonian and earlier. Evidently the land turned swampy later and dead vegetation turned into the massive coal beds from heat and pressure over millions of years. I used to find fossilized crinoid stems around an abandoned quarry. We also had an abandoned strip coal mine where there were fossil ferns inside rocks which had once been mud lumps. Very interesting.

      @dougaldouglas8842 No silly.. The vegetation did rot and turned to something like MODERN peat moss, which under pressure and heat over eons of time- turns to COAL. As for oil, it is often found near salt domes or area where seas are or once were., In that case the plants and animals rotted on the sea floor liqufiying under mud , rock , and other debris until it sank and occupied pourous rock in seams or pools.

      The Wenlock Limestone of Dudley contains the most diverse and abundant fossil fauna in the British Isles: over 600 species of marine invertebrate, representing some 29 major taxonomic groups. The Wenlock Limestone of Dudley is a fossil lagerstatten, containing rare and important life assemblages, in the form of beds of articulated crinoids (sea lilies) superbly preserved under deposits of terrigenous mud and volcanic clay. Rare annelid and early plant remains have been found, containing soft tissue. The site is the type locality for 186 species of fossil; more than any other British site). 63 of these are recorded nowhere else. Many new taxa, particularly of microfossils, have yet to be described. Dudley’s fossils are among the most perfectly preserved Silurian fossils in the world. This is reflected in the fact that they have always been highly valued and are found in countless museum collections and displays across the globe. Other superlative features of the site include bioherms (fossil ‘patch’ reefs preserved ‘in situ’), and expansive ripple beds, which provide evidence of littoral zone conditions.
      I live near Dudley which is in the in the middle of england and the aera is also known has the black country.

    A very interesting point about the first plant life on the surface of the planet is that a lot of them are still around today just showing how much more resilient the simpler forms of flora and fauna are compared to the more complex and codependent life forms. We THINK an example of the first plant life on the surface was a relative to a modern plant known as Liverwort and they are mostly unchanged from their fossil record sample cousins dating back to 500 million years. You can walk around and find them almost everywhere (at least in the Northern Hemisphere) happily growing out of rock beds of sandstone hidden in the shade just like their ancestors hundreds of a millions of years ago did.

Three, birds and perhaps dinosaurs have/had smaller more efficient neurones meaning less weight.

    I like this look of our prehistoric Earth through the eyes of alien visitors. This is how I views alien life in our galaxy. Too many people are caught up in the right now with wondering if life exists out there, and that since we aren't finding any evidence right now, that that means there probably isn't anything out there. Well, we've only been looking for roughly 50 years and have had signals leaving Earth for roughly 100 years. That's literally nothing in the scale of time of the galaxy. This planet could have easily been visited multiple times hundreds of millions of years ago, and there's no way we could possibly know that. That civilization of aliens could easily have gone extinct 50 million years ago. Earth could have been a vacation spot for them, again we would never know. All feasible evidence they could have left behind is gone through weather, erosion, and plate tectonics. At the same time, space is huge and planets are tiny by comparison. There could be ten other star faring civilizations within our galaxy right now, and none of them would even be able to know about each other. Our signals now encompass a roughly 100 light year radius sphere around our sun. There are anywhere between 10-60 thousand stars in that bubble versus roughly 100 billion stars in our galaxy. The probability of intelligent life being within that bubble to hear us compared to outside that bubble is so incredibly small.

    I thought the water on earth coming from meteors made sense, but I just never understood how meteors could be composed of it. It felt like kicking the can down the street thinking meteors were just a convenient crutch to explain the appearance of anything on the earth, but the hydrogen ions combining w oxides on the space rocks is so logical and perfectly plausible.

    By the time this planet becomes uninhabitable again (which it will), if you measure the Earth's whole lifespan as a 12 hour clock face, life would only have been possible for 4 minutes.

    • @ZoeyEldritch
      @ZoeyEldritch 2 місяці тому

      This isn’t true….
      The oldest known fossils are 3.7 billion years old and models show the earth should remain habitable to life for anywhere between 1 and 2 billion years more. Meaning at worst the earth over its entire lifespan would of held life for 4.7 billion years. The earth is expected to be destroyed in about 7.59 billion years and has been around for about 4.6. So that is a expected 12.29 billion year life span where life was possible for at least 4.7 billion years of it.
      Which means on a 12 hour clock face, that’s over 4 hours. No idea how you reached your claim.
