Largest Squid relative in the fossil record
Belemnites were hyperabundant in the Mesozoic, but unfortunately good fossils of them have been few and far in between. Now, new fossils from France let researchers understand their anatomy better, and showing researchers just how large, the largest could have become.

The New Largest Ever Snake, Vasuki indicus
Просмотров 124 тыс.Месяц назад
Vasuki indicus is a new species of giant snake from the Eocene of India. Not directly related to modern snakes, it was massive, potentially larger than even Titanoboa. It also lived around the same time, as Titanoboa, but on the opposite of the world from South America, in India. Meaning that the Eocene globally was a major factor in allowing massive snakes to evolve. Read the paper here: www.n...

New Terror Bird from Antarctica
Просмотров 11 тыс.3 месяца назад
New fossils from Seymour Island, Antarctica have been shown to belong to probably the top predator of the continent during the Eocene, a terror bird, standing nearly 9 feet in height, and with curved claws for holding down prey. It really wasn't an immediate jump into the age of mammals, because the dinosaurs were in some cases still holding their own very well. Read the Paper here: palaeo-elec...

What the Hell is Agnostus?!
Просмотров 7 тыс.5 месяцев назад
Agnostus was an odd animal. From what we can tell it had a body similar to that of a small trilobite. But looking closer it also had some traits trilobites don't have. This means that Agnostus is kind of in an agnostic state where it both is and maybe isn't a trilobite. It's dangerous to go alone, check out our Links!

I'm two years late here, but while many know Moschops from Ark, I as an 80s kid had KOs of Marx/MPC plastic toys of Moschops as well as a big Playschool "Definitely Dinosaurs" Moschops with limited articulation. It's definitely always stood out to me for that reason, great video as always!
If by "closely related to goats" you mean closely related to giraffes.

I got into a whole war about this one day its still going to this day
Ah yes, we haven’t researched the seriema because of colonialism. Makes perfect sense.
So if I am understanding correctly, the current consensus/evidence on Spinosaurus seems to agree that while Spinosaurus likely wasn’t a aquatic diving pursuit predator, it still would at least be considered a semi-aquatic striking predator, correct? Putting it in a similar category/niche of some fresh-water turtles, dabbling ducks/birds, I guess? And while it wouldn’t have swam for pursuing prey, it would have still swam significantly better than other primarily terrestrial theropods for traversal around its habitat right?
Beware... THE LONGISQUAMA the Long Scaled Lizard >:]
How dare u roast Spino again >:( ( im a Spino fan )
Why Raptor Chatter... Spinosaurus now hates the new papers

“Hi. Mrs O’Callaghan? Great. Thank you for calling me back. Yes, I can’t agree with you more. I do think your son should start publishing in the field of paleontology. He’s brilliant and needs to make the O’Callaghan name proud. Especially displayed by this video-he needs to get Kraken”
Ezekiel, from a fellow Arizonan, I think you really should get going on advanced schooling and start getting published. You have a brilliant skill in paleontology and are exceptionally well-informed. You put great context on these videos helping me to learn tons. I watch them weekly at least
Hopefully I'll get word about grad school on Thursday!
never arm wrestle a humboldt squid. They cheat.
A huge fire ball would burn everything up, not leave dinosaur bones all over.
For killing with its claws by kicking, a straight claw like a cassowary's would be better. To kill with claws like an eagle, it is necessary to have a reversed back claw to be able to apply the necessary force. Therefore the use of the sickle claw to bring down running prey by kicking it, to hold down prey, and to allow climbing trees all make sense, especially given the small size of most raptor dinosaurs.
On the way to Walmart to buy a huge terrarium glass jar, some wet wood and a sensitive temperature control system.
THATS THE OTRTHOCONE
"Cephalopods kinda suck-" Me: "NO U >: (" "... in the fossil record" Me: "Oh yeah that's true."
Giant Squid 🐙, unfortunately have to eat too, they say prehistoric squid 🐙 also did eat some smaller dinosaurs 🦕
I love how you wear an ammonite shirt just for the occasion of this video :) But also, I really want a shirt like that. Where did you get it? Regarding the video (which I enjoyed immensely, like always), I have seen a few documentaries about the Humboldt squid and immediately went “oh, those guys are crazy strong and dangerous!” Before you even said anything, lol. Cephalopods are just such fascinating creatures! Thank you for keeping me up to date on new scientific discoveries and research.
What's scarier than a kraken? A lot of small krakens that nibble you to death...

What idiocy...Birds were contemporaries of dinosaurs in the fossil record and yet now they are teaching that birds originated from dinosaurs. The fact is there is no evidence in the fossil record of dinosaurs transitioning into birds and macro evolution has never been observed in nature. Stephen Jay Gould put it this way: “The extreme rarity of transitional forms in the fossil record persists as the trade secret of paleontology. The evolutionary trees that adorn our text- books have data only at the tips and nodes of their branches; the rest is inference, however reasonable, not the evidence of fossils."
"Cats are contemporaries of other mammals, so clearly they cannot be descendant from mammals, nor mammals themselves" Also, ignoring the extensive fossil record that connects birds to the non avian dinosaurs doesnt make those fossils stop existing, it just shows your ignorance.
@@Why79-dx4rf Cats are still cats...what's your point? By the way even Stephen Jay Gould said there are no transitional fossils: "The extreme rarity of transitional forms in the fossil record persists as the trade secret of paleontology. The evolutionary trees that adorn our text- books have data only at the tips and nodes of their branches; the rest is inference, however reasonable, not the evidence of fossils. Yet Darwin was so wedded to gradualism that he wagered his entire theory on a denial of this literal record:" Stephen Jay Gould paleontologist

@@alantasman8273 a single out of context quote from a long dead paleontologist is not a valid arguement. If you are actually willing to engage in a good faith discussion about what transitional forms we do have that connect birds to the non avian dinosaurs, I am more then willing to have that conversation. If instead your are just going to copy paste your mindless drivel without ever engaging in any form of critical thinking, then such a discussion would be pointless. Edit: since youtube hid your first comment from me for some reason, I was not able to address it in my initial comment. My point is that that just because birds existed at the same time as some dinosaurs, that doesnt exclude them from being dinosaurs, just as cats existing at the same time as deer doesnt exclude either from being mammals.
Wow. You obviously don't have a clue. Try actually keeping up with paleontology if your going to make statements that are so laughable no one will ever take you seriously
When I was a child, we often unearthed bits of belemnite in our back garden. I live in central England, and our garden sits directly atop the Oxford Clay- in fact, there used to be a brick factory on the edge of town. The funny thing is that whilst we found plenty of belemnites, we didn't find even a single ammonite fossil- plenty of brachiopod shells, the sort that's called 'giant's toe nails' but no ammonites. It suggests that in this bit of the Jurassic archipelago sea, there was a distinct partitioning of the two types of ancient cephalopod.
Wow, I wish I had a back garden like that where fossils could be found. That must have been so awesome!
Being dragged into the water and eaten alive by a hundred massive squid was not a new fear I needed to unlock but thanks anyway.
My existing policy of staying at least 10 metres away from the sea should be sufficient for this nightmare as well.
It's only about 2 metres long, but the Humboldt squid has been reported to drag divers underwater with the intent to drown still alive today:D
@@mothgirl326 And it’s as he said, they swarm people after the person is pulled under.
@beastmaster0934 yeah, I did forget to say they only come to the surface at night in groups of hundreds and occasionally thousands :3
TIL that squid DO attack boats and eat people. It's not just tall tales from sailors of old. Yes, the squid grew larger in the telling over the years, but that's just humans being storytellers.
To be entirely clear, it's more that they grab the tackle for fishing, and then the fisherman gets pulled over. And the boats are small like 15 foot open topped skiffs
nice
Honestly Im more scared of humbolt squid than I am of any shark. I love them though they are sick
Having seen both on boats, the squid seemed more impulsive to see it it is food. The sharks were curious, but gave up.
Strong Geo Girl vibes in this video. :D
awesome vid!
All for paper models! Computers are good for complexity and reproducibility, but I feel like they can sometimes function as a barrier to entry.
If you didn't code it in R is it really science? Yes yes it can be.
Love cephalopods!
You said octopi so I'll share a fact: the final i is used to make plurals in latin, but octopus is greek! So octopi makes no sense. In greek the plural is octopodes, in English you can just say octopuses. You're welcome :)
In fact, we took octopus from modern scientific Latin soon after the invention of the name, not directly from Greek. The plural form octopi has been used for over 200 years in English, it is a valid form now. Oktapous ὀκτάπους and oktopous ὀκτώπους were Greek but we stole them and changed the spelling to Latinise them. They are ours now and we can do what we want with them. Irregular plurals happen in English. Do you insist that peas is singular and peasen/peeses the plural?
I'm aware of this, but also language changes. You say the instead of þe. For sake of simplicity I went with the more common pronunciation. It's the same as sephalopods. Technically from the Greek it should be kephalopods when pronounced, but I speak American not British English. Just another minute detail in how diverse accents and language can be!
@@RaptorChatter We got cephalopod through the French, not Latin or Greek. The scientific Latin was made up from two Greek words but that means nothing for pronunciation. Another case of overcompensation by pedants. I have never heard a British person say kephalopod. Only an insanely dedicated (and misinformed) classicist would say this was a wideo about kephalopods.
@@pattheplanter The best kind of correct!
Megatuethis. Pssh! more like Mega doofus….right guys…..guys?
You look cute, brah. Good look for you.
At the other ends of the scale... if the fossils from belemnites only represent about 1/3 of the length of the animal... and most of the ones found are tiny... that suggests lots of iddy-bitty little belemnite squiddos everywhere. Cool!
Olive oil, a little garlic. Yum
@@janetchennault4385 just dont choke on that cone!
@@patreekotime4578 Woops! [Chough, cough]
@@janetchennault4385 Next time just remember the saying: "Squishy squid, swallow pen, Belemnite, think again!"
I really hope Belemnites get more attention in media like their fellow cephalopods the Ammonites.
There were some great cephalopod taphonomy talks at TaphCon...wish I could remember what year that was -or- find the abstract volume.
