  • Megaraptora were Predatory Theropod Dinosaurs from the Cretaceous. In this video I take you through the discovery and history of Megarptora; describe them in detail based on up-to-date, reliable studies; Discuss the different genera and species of the family and finally, give you a glimpse into the decade old, ongoing argument regarding the classification of this enigmatic group of Dinosaurs. Ultimately, you will learn that Megaraptora are extremely under-rated Dinosaurs. Our most recent studies describe them as very close relatives to the Tyrannosauridae family, only strongly adapted for the use of their claws as weapons.

    I've been curious about this type of dinosaurs for quite some time now and I love how clearly you explained the changes regarding their classification. It's truly an interesting and underdiscussed topic.

    i like the cadence he speaks in. makes it super easy and enjoyable to listen to. using both metric and imperial would be neat for better visualization. not super necessary though. cm mean nothing to me lol. great vid 👍

    What makes megaraptorans interesting to me is more their phylogeny. They were thought to be allosauroids, then basal coelurosaurians and now a distinct lineage of tyrannosauroids. Pretty messy ain't it.

    Don't know why every video about dinosaur have to put T.Rex in the title and why compare Megaraptor to T.Rex since it's the least similar to it?

    • @Paleofactus
      @Paleofactus  9 месяцев назад +10

      RUclips algorithm. Rather than saying: "potentially a member of tyrannosauroidea and dominated the south at the same time that T-rex dominated the north" you just put "the T-rex of the south". Unfortunately, my way gets more views, and I looooove views 😂

    Hey! RUclips recommended me this video on my feed and its really well presented! Kudos to the work that you're doing 😊
    Btw I was wondering if I could help you edit your videos and also make highly engaging shorts out of them. but I'm not really sure if it is the best time?

    11:00 not true, only western North America and most of Asia (south Asia could be dominate by megaraptorans thanks to some tooth that doesnt fit either tyrannosaurid nor carcharodontosarid, suggesting probably 12-13 meters long predator in Nanxiong Formation) while most likely tyrannosauroids got outcompeted by abelisaurids in Europe
    and 2022 study shows that only Tyrannosaurus had strong bite force of 5.5 tons while Tarbosaurus (second largest tyrannosaurid) had 2.7 tons, thats carcharodontosaurid level bite force and yet there's still carcharodontosaurids that had stronger bites (like for example: Giganotosaurus himself)
    and 11:14 also not really true, as in Africa and north South America would be abelisaurids the dominant predators

    • @Paleofactus
      @Paleofactus  9 месяцев назад +1

      We have found the hand and claws of several specimens. We've also found much of the legs of megaraptora specimens and even the hip bones. But not much else, apart from a few vertebrae and a couple fragmented skulls.

      By filling in the missing elements from closely related genera. And phylogenetic bracketing, basically who is related to whom.
