I’d always wondered if there was a bias toward reddish pigments in fossils and if it was related to how pigments are damaged / decompose. Entirely different circumstances there so just superficial but you see it in old taxidermy where the fur - sometimes due to sun damage but even sometimes without it - fades out and becomes more of a pale ruddy colour.
Cool video! I’ve been to kimmeridge a few times and it’s a great fossil beach! Lots of flies though. And with all the dead seaweed it stinks! But if you go there be careful where you step. We don’t want anymore broken legs
Anyone else hear the line about the 5th finger evolving away and have a flashback to the Simpsons episode where they predicted eventually that would evolve a 5th finger... 😅 just me, okay. Cool...
with Notocyamus (the lotus), how do the know that it wasn't just the pods? in modern lotus flowers they lose their petals and only the pod is left. that fossil looks exactly like a lotus pod so I'm curious about how they know it wasn't just in its pod form.
With any luck! I still wouldn't be surprised if the initial split was among taxa which all had similar bodyplans until after the PT extinction, which would make it very hard to tell where that split was.
Actually, we don’t need a mummy. If they didn’t, their teeth would dry out. That would suck, as then they would weaken. There is a 92% Chance that they had lips.

I don't know why people are like its a goldfish not shark now. I look at the new Dunk and I see piranha the size of prius
Thank you. It is clearly a Mega Piranha.
You cant say its a piranha just cuz they look similar
It would be like calling marine reptiles dinosaurs
Happy new year!
To you too!
The Dunk went from being a shark to a killer goldfish 😂
…and is still awesome
It still can chop you in half
@@mhdfrb9971 I was thinking the exact same thing... o-o
Ignore the body. Its head hasn’t changed. It’s still a massive murder machine.
I was more thinking Mega Piranha, but to each their own.
Hoping to find more great discovories this year!
That radar sounds alot like a fossil version of the minecraft xray mod. What a dream huh?

Great review, thanks Ezekiel
You're welcome!
Always interesting!

Great 1 year review! I’ve got a lot of catching up to do.
One of the best years! 😍👏🏼
Good vid, the editing must have been EPIC!
Great video! Thanks!
Thanks for this! Here's to a discovery-rich 2024!
Excellent.
I could be wrong but it seems like there's a big volume fluctuation like there's no audio compression
My favorite discoveries in 2023 are minimocursor and ampelognathus
Great year for small ornithopods for sure!

Hey!
someday we will find out what the stem amphibian, stemphibian if you will, was
With any luck! I still wouldn't be surprised if the initial split was among taxa which all had similar bodyplans until after the PT extinction, which would make it very hard to tell where that split was.
Lets fuckin go bebe!
It was year of whales. Expect them my favourite discovery was probably shrunking the dunk (mainly because of memes it spawned).
Whale research was very intense this year, so much new stuff
Sometimes dinos give the finger to homo sapiens.
I mean until we find a mummy, we will know the truth if theropods have lips or not

Somebody else watches a lot of paleocast I see lol
Not really. I try not to consume a ton of paleo content because I'd prefer not to have other influences.
