Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 сер 2022
- Jakapil kaniukura is the newest, and strangest thyreophoran coming from South America. Separatedfrom its nearest relatives by over 100 Million years of evolution, what was it doing, and what makes it so weird?

There was a tooth from the kem kem beds in Morocco that has the same morphology as this little guy. I have a feeling there's an entire ghost lineage of these tiny basal Thyreophorans.
Thats a great point. I forgot about that.
There could be! The problem with teeth is that they're really hard to assign to any one animal, so we may never know, but hopefully there's a fossil with those teeth out there somewhere.
The dinosaur man has returned!!! He has returned with more knowledge of the dinosaurs!!! Thank you dinosaur man for teaching of the dinosaurs!!!
And another one already recorded!
I like Jakapil. Such a neat little critter.
It's adorable,cool and weird at the same time
Officially a dinosaur weirder than Spinosaurus,also amazing video
Don't say that about Spinosaurus, you'll jinx it!
Oop- you're right
Keep in mind that this dino is from around the same time and place as the Giga and possibly the other South American Carchars from the Mid-Cretaceous.
Jakapil came around the end tip of the Gigas’ existence & lived several million years after it went extinct, from what scientists theorize.
That is probably because the site just hasn't been well controlled with the broader stratigraphy. As more research is done that time frame should come down.
These Dino’s are too cute and the name makes it better
Its big zeke!! Whats up brother
Jakapil looks more like a Pachysephalosauridea more then Ankylosaurs
Jakapil is def my new fav dinosaur 🦖
I would love for a better fossil of one to be found. It seems super interesting, but unfortunately is just complete enough to not be conclusive. That said, the first dinosaur groups seem to have started in South America, and the Thyreophorans are among the earliest diverging ornithischians, so biogenographically I would say it's very possible, we just need more of it.
Saurophaginax also evolved some features seen in large tyrannosaurs. Which are it's defining features according to Chure 1995.
So heckin cute! Hopefully more remains of this guy are found soon!
thank u 🙏🙏
Looks like a discount Kaiju from the 70s
You did not mention isaberrysaura which lived in south America over 168 MYA, it is considered either as an early thyreophoran or an early stegosaur or as an early ornithischian or ornithopod of uncertain affinity.
It's adorable
...oh, the ARTICULAN bone! there goes my epoch theory.
I really hope that we will find more from the former island continent of South America.
It's from Argentina. For some reason palaeontology channels tend to group South America as one big monolith instead of giving recognition to the different countries for their contributions.
Was this thing living in the same area , the same habitat environment as Carnotaurus? If that body type is accurate- given the fragmentary evidence, thats up for conjecture- It also, with the osteoderms and relatively tiny front limbs, It also reminds me a bit of Carnotaurus. Not suggesting its a species of Carnotaurus, but it carries some similar traits, and could be a cue into the world of Carnotaurus.
Looks like a Kaiju from the 70s
Next month there would be a new dinosaur discovered in argentina make your bets people, it will be a:
A) a giant titanosaur again.
B) another abelisaur.
C) a megaraptorid.
D) a carcharodontosaurid.
E) something else.
Based on what's been coming out recently I'd go with another abelisaur known from like 3 verts, and the back of a braincase.
Callaghan, 😁🦕 'Europe's Biggest Sauropod' unearthed in Portugal: Fossilised skeleton of an 82ft-long Dinosaur that lived to 160 to 145 Million Years Ago is found in Man's Backyard. When tending to the garden, most people wouldn't expect to encounter anything larger than an overgrown weed. However, one man in Portugal got a bit more than he bargained for while digging on his property, as he found an enormous set of fossilised Dinosaur bones. After studying the skeleton, scientists found they belonged to an 82-foot (25-metre) Brachiosaurid that lived between 160 and 100 million years ago. This could be the largest Sauropod Dinosaur - a subgroup characterised by their four legs, long neck and tail and herbivorous diet - ever to be found in Europe. It is not usual to find all the ribs of an Animal like this, let alone in this position, maintaining their original anatomical position. This mode of preservation is relatively uncommon in the fossil record of Dinosaurs, in particular sauropods, from the Portuguese Upper Jurassic. Earlier this month, Portuguese and Spanish Palaeontologists announced they had found an approximately 39 feet (12 metres) high and 82 feet (25 metres) long Sauropod Dinosaur This could be the largest land Animal ever to be found in the Iberian Peninsula, a subgroup characterised by their four legs, long neck and tail and herbivorous diet. The Brachiosauridae group lived from the Upper Jurassic to the Lower Cretaceous geological periods. Unlike other Sauropods, they have longer forelimbs than their hindlimbs which results in a longer torso and proportionally shorter tail. Dinosaurs belonging to this group includes the American Brachiosaurus Altithorax - the first computer-generated Dinosaur shown in the 1993 movie Jurassic Park and It was found in the Morrison Formation in Colorado and Utah in the United States - the African Giraffatitan Brancai of the Upper Jurassic Period of Tendaguru Formation of Tanzania - and the European Lusotitan Atalaiensis which has been found in the Lorinha Formation in Western Portugal. Preservation characteristics of the discovered fossils indicate that other parts of the skeleton could still be present in the deposit, which will be explored in future excavation campaigns. The research in the Monte Agudo paleontological locality confirms that the region of Pombal has an important fossil record of Late Jurassic Vertebrates. In the last decades, the region has provided the discovery of abundant materials very significant for the knowledge of the continental faunas that inhabited the Iberian Peninsula at about 145 million years ago. 😀😃 Wow Callaghan- you don't have a Time Machine to see a Giant Long Neck Creature in Upper Jurassic Backyard- if you wanna go through time in the Iberian Peninsula.
Okay but what if it really is a tiny, armored Tyrannosaur?
It would be very strange, mostly because we don't really get a lot of tyrannosaurs from the southern continents (except maybe Megaraptora, but that's still debated). Other coelurosaur groups became herbivorous, so it wouldn't be totally out of the realm of possibility, but unfortunately we're missing a lot of the parts we'd need to tell, like the nasal bones, which are fused in tyrannosaurs. Most of the material also does seem more like ornithischians too, such as the limb bones.
"Dragon dinosaurs aren't real"
Dragon Dinosaurs: 1:26
Except they have the tiniest arms, dosent fly and is SMALL
Could the explanation for all these oddities be that the Jakapil would be chimera? I mean, that the features of stegosauruses, ankylosaurs and ceratopses come from different animals and they are put together as Jakapil?
Garbonzo!
You should always state in which country the fossils were found, like you do with the ones from the US where you even state the State and formation of origin. Otherwise you're not giving credit to the scientific communities of those countries. This one is from Argentina, not South America as a whole.
That's a really good point. A lot of this is accidental on my end, as most of the papers really just list a country in their title, whereas papers on fossils from the US are more specific. I will try to be more considerate of this in the future, as it is just one of the passive ways that those communities get ignored, and even I was continuing that without really realizing.
@@RaptorChatter Thank you a lot, it's very nice from you to acknowledge and tackle this. And it isn't just you. I've noticed that it's a trend on the internet to just say that any new discovery comes from South America instead of stating the actual countries. I'm a biologist from Argentina, and the scientific community here is huge and really active, but a lot of times it doesn't receive the attention it deserves based on the amount of research it puts out, and palaeontology is one of the fields in which the country has made the biggest contributions. I know many palaeontologists here who continually publish great works on the life and ecology of ancient Argentina and Antarctica (there are researchers here who spend months every year on campaings in that continent) but they're never given credit for their work or they get clumped together with the other countries in the region as if it was all the same, which is a bit disappointing when you put so much work into something. So again thank you.
@@zddxddyddw I get that you are an biologist but have you ever discovered fossils before? even by accident?
Also, when the dinosaurs existed, there was no such thing as a country just territories and continents so theoretically some dinosaur families could exist anywhere but only with proof.
