Dinosaurs of the Mountains
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 мар 2023
- Mountain fauna is something, unfortunately, left out of most of the fossil record. Due to the limits of the fossilization process, it is rare to find the prehistoric past of mountains. But there are a few examples, which are being uncovered more day by day about those creatures which lived in the mountains.

Is the book 'Ankylosaurus and other mountain dinosaurs'?
WOW I THINK SO!!!!
Ahh that one. Ye, makes sense now
@@julianozaur444 ye
Should be “dinosaurs that look like mountains” 🏔
That's wild. 😊
It’s bizarre to think that Scottish people evolved from these dinosaurs. Truly inspiring.
It explains a lot . . .
Lol....be nice yall
Hey I'm Scottish so I'm a dinosaur

When I was kid, every time our family went for a hike in mountains, I would imagine what dinosaurs I could encounter there. I had really vivid imagination, so I drew bunch of dinosaurs I ,,saw" on our hikes. Most of them were based on Walking with dinosaurs, which i used to watch all the time. Dome-headed dinosaurs were the Big horn sheep of the Mezozoic to me. I imagined Leaellynasaura roaming the spruce forests, looking for food while avoiding the mountain raptors. There were also relatives of Polacanthus and dwarf sauropods. Apex predator of this made up world was mountain Allosaurus, but it stayed in the mountains only during Summer. This video unlocked some very old memories for me.
Cute
very nice imagination tbh
Good imagination and they honestly mostly make some level of sense. Instead of sauropods it was probably hadrodsaurs in the Cretaceous, and instead of an Allosaur it was probably a big raptor or mid-sized Tyrannosaur.. but man it would be cool if there was a weird offshoot of Acrocanthosaurus hanging in on the mountains, adapted to a niche the Tyrannosaurs couldn't take.
Yo I got a similar memory. Replace "hike in the mountains" with "trip to our house on the lake". Your comment made me remember good times ❤
My dinosaur-related childhood adventures were way cooler than yours tbh
BABE THERE'S A NEW BUDGET MUSEUM VIDEO
OH HEY BABE *SHITS AGGRESSIVELY*
I felt seen
😂
One interesting idea I have heard was the possibility that Brachiosaurus specialized in higher elevations. Which helps explain why they're so exceptionally rare to fossilize compared to the many other Morrison sauropods.
Ok that makes some sense , altough i think a large dino would be odd at high elevations
I don’t think a sauropod would be in the mountains. The selection pressure just isn’t there for a long neck. The trees aren’t that tall and the neck would be an obstacle for eating low lying plants.
@@davidnotonstinnett maybe it ate clouds 🦕☁😂
Good point!! Most mountains have a tree line, so unless it lived along the tree line. There would be no point or use for the long neck. In fact surely it would be a disability as the higher up you are, the closer you come to the thinner atmosphere and less oxygen 😃
@@davidnotonstinnettMost long necked animals that we know of, such as sauropods, ratites, and giraffes, primarily eat mid-height or low-growing vegetation, at or below shoulder level. A long neck can also just be a good way to reach the ground and far away when you have a tall body and moving is relatively expensive.
Some times, over time, publishers have been known to re-title books. Here are three possibilities for you to consider:
1. Ankylosaurus and Other Mountain Dinosaurs
2. Dinosaur Mountain: Digging into the Jurassic Age
3. Dinosaur Mountain: Graveyard of The Past
Trying to recapture a lost or missing part of a childhood memory is the worst. I hope this helps.
That muscleman "you know who else" caught me so off guard 🤣 thank you for another fascinating video
My worst fear is living on a mountain with goats and Scottish people.
We aren't that bad the goats are worse man
@@Connor011 I dunno mate took a walk through Glasgow Central at the weekend recently? Christ I'll take the goats any day
@@alexmcvey1609 how many knife wounds did you leave with? lol
We aren't that bad the Scots are worse man

Yeah Thursday to Sunday it's like the Octagon 😏
There's really something unique about your channel, both the subjects and your style of videos. I especially enjoyed the prehistoric bug bonanza vid, very informative and it always cracks me up
There is also 2 possibilities for lack of fossil of mountainous dinos:
First is we could already have the remains and not be aware they're from mountain dwelling dinosaurs. Most fossils are fragmentary, and bones can move pretty far from original place of death through water movement, gravity, even other animals moving the remains. We could say have a mountain living dinosaur fully described but because it's body was found in river deposits have no idea that it came from a mountain dwelling species.
Second slightly ties into first is maybe mountain dinosaurs weren't living full time in mountains, would imagine mountains would be a difficult place to lay eggs and build nests in unless special adaptations are had (like the borrowing dinos) so it could be they came down to plains or relatively flat areas to lay eggs, fossil remains were found down there and general assumption was made they were plain living dinosaurs when really they were migrants.
Good points. But third, you'd also have to consider what they would eat and how well they could move up there.
Goats are successful mountain dwellers because they're flexible eaters and their stomachs can deal with undemanding plants, and they also have a good body-balance and small, well-balancing feet to cross the rockiest terrain.
So, if you'd be a dinosaur, you'd most certainly have to possess the latter. And you'd need a sufficient source of food, so either plants or prey to hunt. And prey has to fullfil the same criteria, so numbers of prey are probably low as well. After all, herds of sauropods would have trouble moving up there and would find not as much food as in the plains and valleys.
I'd say small ornithopoda and theropoda are still the most likely to survive on the higher mountain ranges, especially Heterodontosauridae, and smaller theropods who would prey on mammals, birds and other more flexible prey.
"Looking like a Parrot crossed with a Streetlamp" had me Dying XD
I've lost several nights sleep thinking about that highland Gigantoraptor. Gigantoraptor is a one of a kind dinosaur, and to think that there's another one like it is so exciting to me!
im studying a double degree of geology and environmental biology. i was questioning continuing with the biology as im less passionate about it. Your videos fill me with a new excitement to study biology and potentially paleo one day!
Give us an update on ur academics
Your channel just feeds the prehistoric era of my childhood
I never really thought of mountain dinosaurs…
Now it got me thinking about cave dinosaurs ik they probably didn't exist but imagine what they would look like
@@Connor011 now I’m agreeing
@Connor011 I know I'm late to the party but I'd like to think once the niches got filled, they seemingly didn't have much room to change too "quickly" until much smaller mammals filled in these roles.
I've never ask myself before about mountains dinosaurs and frankly didn't care either, but now I'm really glad I learned something today. Thank you so much !
This is something I’ve been curious about myself. I was wondering how we’d know we found evidence of mountains in the fossil record. It’s very melancholic knowing that some species are going to be lost to time forever.
Whole planets are lost to time forever during solar novas.....this puts a species loss into perspective. All part of each of our limited time to dance our dance in the cosmos.
❤️go dance, friend!
Return of the king. You dropped this, budget museum-> 👑
There's also presevation bias in jungle envirnoment, that's why we know so little about primate and even to some extent human evolution.
There is a mountain in my home town that has a section of land that looks like a T-rex skull in the winter. Naturally, I thought T-rexes were as big as that mountain. I was sorely disappointed.
T-Rex are still huge.
There's something soul crushing knowing countless species will never be discovered because of the set requirements of fossilization, There's just no feasible way to catalog every prehistoric fauna and that hurts my heart
where i grew up in fruita colorado. there is an abundance of fossils in the mountains and the surrounding valleys, from whole dinosaur fossils to aquatic fossils you can find all over. Its at the confluence of the colorado and gunnison rivers at the far western edge of the state next to utah.
I live right at the foot of Rocky Mountain National Park and its always cool to think about the animals around here back then.
Lovely little vid, that also makes me wonder about which dinosaurs lived in mountain environments.
1. It reminds me of how pacvhycephalosaurs were depicted living in mountains, because of rarity and bring like goats.
2. Other fossil formations with known uplands are:
Sanpetru, of the Retezat mountains
Two Medicine Formation
Anytime I think about all the fossils, plant and animal alike, that were lost to time or never had a chance to form in the first place, I'm legitimately sad. So much life on this planet we have no idea about, and will remain a mystery forever
Pour one out for all the homies who never got fossilized.
This is awesome! I knew Idaho had a lot of fossil records, but I’d never heard of some of these, nor the Wayan Formation. Thank you!
Which one of the Wayans brothers found it?
this is so cool! i always thought that it was basically impossible to find fossils in the appalachains b/c the sediment layer thats exposed right now is "older than bones" i never knew there was anything on my side of the country! i havr to look into this! :)
Dude your videos provide a therapeutic level of happiness for me
I'm glad I found your channel. It's unique. Informative and fun. I also love that your voice helps with the ambiance.
I see myself expecting videos and getting all excited to know more about dinos.
Thanks for the hard work. ❤
another excellent video, you are the best natural history channel going In my opinion.
Oooh, a new upload. I’m confident this will be a banger, you always make such great videos
This was a great video, but I think that it would have been very cool to talk about the yixian formation in china, which had very good preservation and was probably only 50 degrees, probably because of a high altitude
I’ve been weirdly obsessed with these vids
Love the Raptor Red picture! Loved that book as a child!
Excellent video! I’m slowly rekindling my interest in dino’s and I’m real happy I found your channel
You should totally make a video about deep sea fauna.
Don’t forget the Blackleaf Fm of southwest MT! The Vaughn Member is contemporaneous with the Wayan and it’s fossil assemblage is almost identical, though the Vaughn is slightly lower on the alluvial plain than the Wayan. A lot of research and attention has been put into the Blackleaf Fm recently at Montana State University, so stay tuned later this year as there are a few new discoveries that will hopefully be published by then…🤫
It's all a scam by big paleo the Blackleaf Formation isn't real it was made up in 2006 to sell more Oryctodromeus casts
@@shunosauruslii6809 Ayo I told you that in confidence you’re going to blow our cover smh my head
its a great day when tbm posts!
There was a old book from the 60's in my grandma vacation house when i was a child - i use to look at it for hours during the night. Those vintage illustrations capture something special in my brain and i think they help me develop my imagination ( & my love for realistic/plausible world building in fiction ) during the first decade of my life... Nice video my dude.
As far as I'm concerned, your voice is not monotonous at all. I understand your comment is probably self-deprecation, as 'monotony' (which is highly subjective) is generally considered undesirable.
Voices that do not get in the way of the content, the info they are conveying, to me are perfect. No having to spend energy and mental bandwidth to 'fight' through voices that are loud, unnaturally upbeat, or just in-your-face, is a relief and an absolute delight.
I 'see' the content creator just as well, or maybe even better, when the voice overs are not obnoxious.
Next time you're not sure what a scientific paper says try to contact the author! They'll almost always be glad to talk to you about their work
This is true.

Fascinating. Entertaining. Educational. Well done, once again!!!
Newark truly is a nightmare.
Love the discussion on preservation bias.
I love this kind of content 😍
Great Dino video!!!
Another excellent budget video
Finally some good Idaho representation
Thanks for the video, recently i was thinking about what dinosaurs lived in mountains like many modern dinosaurs!
vids are pretty chill and good job
I had that ENTIRE magazine collection back when I was a child
A banger as always
I didn't know about the Newark Supergroup until now, I live about an hour from Turner Falls so I might have to make a trip out there one day
that mountain joke at the end was adorablely hilarious !
Enjoyed 🤗
I never realized that there were mountain 🦖🦕.
Thanks for this excellent video.
Bro these videos are always so good, I try and watch them to go to sleep but end up watching them till like 2:00 am
Fascinating and hilarious!
Thumbnailmlooked like the place I grew up and that's why I clicked. Western Montana
It feels like it was yesterday when the mountaintops were teeming with goats, dinos and scottish people
I love Big Man Tan. Such a kind gentleman!
Very cool
great video, reminds me of the footprints at dinosaurs ridge here in CO 🦕
Interesting to know. Exciting if one does find them.
gigantoraptors are dope asf I loved them since i was an kid I always read alot about dinosaurs and got an bunch of books
In the books I saw as a child, the dinosaurs of the plains and swamps always had stratospherically high volcanoes erupting in the background. Wouldn't that make the dinosaurs of the flat lands also dinosaurs of the mountains?
As someone who lives right next to Newark, I can confirm that it is a resting ground for the lost souls of the world.
I love this channel
Lake Tahoe minus... LMAO Exactly why I love this channel, informative, interesting, and hilarious. Monotone aside, great video!
Great video on the subject mater, I did learn things I havn't heard about before now. Great job! 😃
But, I would like to point out how you missed findings of Permian highland animals a few years ago. I forget what the name of the formarion is, but I remember it being in Germany.
WOOOO BIG MAN TAN
This is a lil tooo well done for the name budget museum. Love to see to progression 👏🏻🤌🏻
I've always wondered what kinds of dinosaurs coulthrive in a cloud forest biome.
I also had a dinosaur book that fell off the face of the earth. It was from the late 80s or early 90s and was a kids book with a find it premise similar to wheres waldo but it was a baby looking for its mom or vise versa with many tiny dinos per page. I also remember a lot of teal and purple colors
Pretty epic
Fav channel , idk if that’s a good or bad thing
Tyrannosaurus wearing kilts
I loved Dinosaurs! Magazine. Even after they jumped the shark and started including other prehistoric animals towards the end of the run
oooo i know about oryctodromeus!! learned about it after first seeing Beasts of Bermuda's rendition of it!
Paleontology has always interested me and I've started to pursue that interest. Is there any recomended journal or paper, or even online subscription to further my knowloege on the subject, both its past discoveries and present ones?
My girlfriend and I discovered your channel a few weeks ago and we love watching your videos. Keep up the great work!
0:31 Hey, that monotone faceless voice has gotten me through many existential crises as I dread mass extinction events and sudden cosmic catastrophe.
Cool presentation. I have to say, your way of talking sounds so similar to RUclipsr Vagrant Holiday. I mean that as a compliment. I could listen to that guy ramble on for hours. I never thought about dinos hopping around mountains except for the Pterosaurs before.
Hell yeah
Living in Idaho and seemingly having all the cool finds happen In states around us I clicked on this vid to see if there was a chance of maybe one being here and damn I was surprised.
could you maybe do a video on the revisited theory that the asteroid wasn't the thing that killed the dinos, but rather multiple catastrophic events, especially volcanic eruptions? There are so many evidence! I'd love to hear your thoughts on it and gathered infos :DD
idk, because like, we found the asteroid and even if other things happened, that wouldn’t change much
@@timestorm5687 the impact happened, that's not what I'm saying. But the theory is that it wasn't enough to kill all dino life on earth
Nice
i dont remember subscribing to you but im glad i did
this video gave me flashbacks of giga encounters on ARK in The Island map
1:45 you also use kirkland brand water? Mad respect man
Will you ever do a video on the family tree of raptors? Like from the smallest to the largest, etc?
Man! My parents and I went to mount Putnam (biggest mountain in blackfoot ID) to get wood and as we were driving up on a hill, we found a rock that turned out to be a fossil of a giant bird. We had no way of getting a 20 foot piece of rock off the mountain so we left it. My dad and I went back up a few years later and found the rock demolished. See a road crew decided to bust it down in order to make way for a bigger road.
That is Wyoming.. Not Colorado.. 7:10. Love your videos!
Very interesting it's strange to think of ranges like the Appalachians which are just hills now back during the Dinosaur age where actually real mountains. Highlights how much weathering can do giving millions of years
Hey man love this stuff but it’s hella bright like I know it’s a knickpick but if you lower the brightness of your uploads it’s be great
