- In this video, I talk about a strange and mysterious fossil first discovered in South Dakota, named Ekgmowechashala.

Dr. Burger... Please never change.
Your videos cover interesting and novel topics, in amazing detail. Your excitement is palpable and your delivery is sincere.
Your invertebrate paleontology/paleobotany series is fantastic. The best scientific lecture content in all of UA-cam IMHO and certainly in the paleontology sphere. Will you be releasing more lectures?
Hear Hear!!
Just found this channel and it's amazing
This channel is certainly underappreciated. Great video as always 👌
That's what I love about geology/ paleontology--there's always new questions with every discovery.
Thank you for another wonderful video Dr Burger!
After listening to the whole story, I certainly sympathize with that realization that these fossils now raise some very interesting questions I didn't know I had :)
Thank you so much for sharing and putting your effort and time into this. This was a fascinating review of something I knew nothing of before watching, let’s hope a few more finds happen in our lifetime to help put a few more pieces in the jigsaw
These videos are so great
This is such an incredible story! Thank you so much!
I'm glad you are posting again! Thank you for your effort.
What a wonderful tale and you tell it so well. thank you
Thank you for sharing your knowledge of the fossilized history of our world. We are always looking forward to your videos.
6:55 "FOR SERVICE OVERSEAS!" looool The serious look on his face though.
Always fantastic and thoroughly interesting videos presented with infectious enthusiasm, thank you.
As an aside...
I wonder if T. Rex would have been quite so iconic if had been given an equally unpronounceable name for 99.999% of people?
It does no harm to give some consideration to such things.
It does no harm to learn some pronunciation that doesn’t fit english
A cool story! Thanks for posting it.
Goodness, what it would be like to walk the mesas and canyons with you! I took a geologist friend out to the Carrizzo Grasslands in Colorado, and he literally said, "Look, you can't pick up every rock!" Guess I annoyed him with all my questions. 😂
great video! found this after reading about new Ekgmowechashala fossil discovery in Nebraska. Kathleen Rust et al. Phylogeny and paleobiogeography of the enigmatic North American primate Ekgmowechashala illuminated by new fossils from Nebraska (USA) and Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region (China). Journal of Human Evolution, published online November 6, 2023.

The ending comment. Made me think of Aron ra, he went on an expedition to find fossils. And the research team told him he had walked over dozens of them. Because he while educated on what to look for. He wasn't experienced. I wonder how much amazing fossils have been lost to the fact no one turned over that one rock.
Yes, I did enjoy it. Thank you.

What watch are you wearing?
It is a timex, which was picked out by this girl I know, who has great taste. :)
@@BenjaminBurgerScience thanks. Looks nice.
Is the fact she cares enough to pick out a watch for you another sign of her good taste
You said this animal was neither abundant or common. Can
An animal be abundant but not common or common but not abundant. Are they not the same thing,? Best wished and thankyou for neat video.
Very true!
Could a group have inadvertently rafted over the ocean? It would bypass the paradox of cold adaptaion that way.
Big hurricane knocks a family onto a floating mass of trees and enough survive to land in the Americas
Yes, could also explain it! The rafting hypothesis has been applied to South American platyrrhine primates. So maybe it happened in the Oligocene across the Pacific.
_boarding school_ is putting it mildly
cool
Can't we start over and rename everything so everyone can pronounce them.
Youre just showing off your fancy pronouncing skills now....
I did an AI Art request for a Ekgmowechashala drinking coffee... rather disappointing, but interesting nonetheless. I like the real thing much better :)
