Coelophysis - The Triassic Icon
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 авг 2024
- The Triassic period is known for many strange animals that arose after the Permian mass extinction, and one of these groups were what we now know as Dinosauria. These basal dinosaurs were mostly small and inconspicuous, and one of them was Coelophysis, a genus now synonomous with the time period. These animals, through many notable fossils like those found at Ghost Ranch in New Mexico are now among the most well known of all dinosaurs, and many discussions around cannibalism, integement, behaviour and taxonomy have been largely centred on them. I hope you enjoy.

As a resident of New Mexico, thank you for this video. We love tourism especially from those who appreciate our states history and cultures.
Where in NM do you live, Polar Bear? I'm in the North Valley of Albuquerque.

Two of my mom's sisters live in Las Cruces. Awesomeness!
I was pleasantly surprised by all the drama in this video. Who would have thought the bug people would have beef with the bones people.
Paleontology and science in general can be quite the argumentative field!
Very cool. I love when we find good evidence of sexual dimorphism. It's so easy to identify in living animals but so challenging in dinosaurs.
Entomologists: You stole that name and we will change it and put a little pun on the new one
Academia Paleontologists: I refuse, you'll make us look silly
Quite a funny thing to see. :)

Entomology is bugs, etomology is words
@@aubreyackermann8432 I tought it was an entomologist who found the mistake in the name
@@FakeSugarVillain fair point, one in the morning may not be the best time to understand nuance
@@aubreyackermann8432 it's okay 1 AM is a bad time for any kind of nuance
Coelophysis is one of my favorite dinosaurs. They were a very successful genus of theropods. There bodyplan was advanced for theropods of it's time.
I recognize a bit of the music played: the piece that was used in the Prehistoric Kingdom trailer that starred everyone's favorite zoologist & adventurer: Nigel Marven!
I loved watching his programmes, especially the one where he went back in time to make a dinosaur park, I used to eagerly wait for that every week and wouldn't miss an single episode, use to watch the walking with dinosaurs and beasts each year at summer time and any other dinosaur documentaries that would come out. Love the dinosaur movie by Disney even though its somewhat out of date paleo art wise, but for the time it was up to date. I loved the primeval series as well, need to rewatch it at some point but one of the characters names had my dead name in it and I get dysphoria whenever I heard it in general so yeah, i wanna rewatch it but aslo don't because of that name. Its a bittersweet decision I haven't made my mind on yet. But I wish they had brought it back under the bbc because when they let it get bought out by it that Canadian company it kinda didn't have the same feel to it. I also wish they had did a few more seasons of terranova i thought it was a really promising show and great idea,but those shows rely on watch time and people engagement as well as a bunch of other factors.
You really could not have come up with a better title for this video. When people think "Triassic Dinosaurs", this guy is nearly always the first one that comes to mind. And it's been that way even BEFORE Walking With Dinosaurs came out!
I've never heard of this dino before this video, to my recollection. 😁
@@thatrealba I learned about Dinosaurs at a very young age (3 years old, to be exact), and whenever Dinosaur documentaries I would watch talked about Triassic Dinosaurs, they would literally ALWAYS mention Coelophysis.
@@kevinnorwood8782 I'm not saying your assertion is wrong. But I don't have ANY dino that pops to mind when one if their periods is mentioned. Probably because I couldn't tell you when any dino lived.
Was just trying to add a chuckle.
I think of Herrerasaurus.
I like that you used Douglas Henderson paleoart in the first few minutes.
Ah yes, that one smol birdy boi who somehow led to to T. Rex and birds.
Actually in cladistical terms, Coelophysids are not ancestral to other Neotheropods, otherwise the group would be paraphyletic
Ooo didn't expect a video at this time! Wonderful surprise.
Agent E! Great Googly googly!
@@nittygritty7034 Where’s Agent P.? Dr. Doof is up to no good again.
@@perhapsawhitemale8144 No no it's all a misunderstanding! He's just an accident prone chemistry teacher!
you ALWAYS have the absolute best paleo art on your videos man, I have to stop the video every 10 seconds to take a screen shot lol. It definitely adds so much to the videos, thank you for showing off all this amazing art from all these amazing people!
It’s odd how for many dinosaurs, the genus name is more well known than the species name. I’ve not heard Coelophysis’ species name before today. Very cool
Coelophysis may not be unique but it is certainly iconic.
Loving the beef between the entomologists and the paleontologists; of course everyone forgets about the tiny beetle, and I love the idea that a bunch of entomologists was so offended by this that they decided to rename a whole dinosaur as "big dead lizzard."
Coelophysis the Murder Emu Of The Trassic,also Coe just might be sickest trassic basal dino I have ever seen,also this was a pretty nice video,and of cousre the WWD Coe is a classic.
Like a killer Cassowary! An Oversized ostrich!
by murder emu, you mean cassowary?
Excellent presentation of a very interesting subject! Thank you for this video.
Great video buddy!
It amazes me how debated this animal was and is, especially given the numerous finds.
I grew up maybe an hour's drive from Ghost Ranch, New Mexico, and went to summer camp there several times. Thank you for mentioning my home! The fossil museum there is amazing.
Very cool! I'd love to visit that area at some point. :)
Let me know when you have made travel arrangements, and I'll see what I can help you with for accommodations! I live maybe 2 hours away now (in Albuquerque) but probably still have contacts in Española. Besides, we'd be thrilled to meet you!
I love this channel
Fantastic video - made my evening! Thanks a lot!
Glad you enjoyed it! :)
That was my grandfather George whitaker we have the plaster cast that was made from the original bones thats in the Smithsonian museum of natural history
Very cool! A great thing indeed. :)
Enjoyed watching. Thank you Henry.
Glad you enjoyed it!
The plural for genus is genera
and the singular form of taxa is "taxon". These may sound like pedantic trivia, but to a biologist, they detract from the otherwise excellent presentation and make the narration sound amateurish. Please take this as constructive criticism for future narration --- to help a good product get better
I can't tell what I enjoy more on this channel, the paleology or the mixed metaphors
If I could make one request, could you show some kind of diagram when talking about bones? I can follow along somewhat, but I imagine myself and others get lost not long after.
Good idea. I sometimes don't think of them, as I think people are usually able to pick things out like I and others more familiar with the anatomy can do. I'll correct this more in the future. :)
@@HenrythePaleoGuy Thank you, I appreciate that! I know a little bit about anatomy, but when you're describing the characteristics of the bones I get lost.
That is a great idea and a fascinating video to watch.
Oh I just love that art!!!
Nicely made and informative video. I would like to see from the newest information a current outline of Zealandia, the lost continent. Still there's thought that New Zealand was once completely submerged, but the Tuatara, a carboniferous early cousin to lizards, throws a spanner wrench into that train of thought.- People of New Zealand, Protect the Kakapo, it is special, coming from someone on the other side of the planet (I'll try and help in anyway that I'm capable). Get rid of the Rats, Cats and other invasives that threaten it.
Went to a seminar a year ago on a PhD student who was getting prepped to defend his dissertation on a hypothetical Coelophysis species complex. This vid instantly reminded me of that; very much still a controvesal animal.
Great to hear! Still so much we have yet to learn, and so much still to be discussed regarding them.
Home - Resonance at the end had me trippin, dawg
A great piece of music. :)
I was calling this beautiful animal "Ko-lee-o-FY-sis" from age 8 to about 13. Those pre-RUclips days were harder. Always said Deinonychus right, though! JUST learned it's Oh-strom and not Aww-strom a couple months ago, though.
Great video. Beautiful animal.
Wow that was awesome to learn about, coeiophysia is my favorite dinosaurs, great video Henry.
Awesome! Thank you!
@@HenrythePaleoGuy Your welcome Henry.
Super Awesome. Thx
Glad you liked it!
That was as good and as thorough as a scientific paper.
I was around 8 years old when Walking With Dinosaurs came out (I actually remember getting the box set at my grandparents house Easter morning.) And I think like most people, that's were I was first introduced to this animal, but unlike most people, it became my favorite dinosaur, not even really sure why. But today, I own a trace fossil that has 1 adult and 2 juvenile tracks from this creature and that makes up the centerpiece of my entire fossil collection, and so it holds a little more sentimental value than any other piece I own.
Love the video, very well done. Also, I never knew anything about a skull of one going to space 🤣🤣 thats crazy.
I think you like it due to its activity and lifestyle, same thing but with herrerasaurus
Wonderful. Fluffy theropods for everyone!
Indeed!
This was amazing I love coelophysis there oddly cute
Great stuff loved dinos
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed.
I'm very impressed how much latin and anatomical terms I've picked up in my biochem degree since it is by far my weakest area in biology overall
Trully an iconic dino of his time... Thats why i made a lego like figure of COELOPHYSIS for my channel... there are really cute ...but fearsome at the same time... i love your channel very informative and entertaining at the same time ... :)
I'll check it out! Thank you for watching!
Love Coelophysis!
Around 12:00 the Background music is INCREDIBLE. Part of one of the best dungeon synth Albums eher created. "Slow and heavy" by diplodocus. I highly recommend it to everypne
Most definitely! A great piece of music from a great album.
Is it known that coelophysis had protofeathers? They would have been the first feathers ever considering they come from the scaled lizards in the late Permian-early Triassic. Scales were adapted to trap moisture so that tetrapods could fully shift to terrestrial lifestyles in the Carboniferous, when was the first fossil record of (proto)feathers?
There was a study published in 2020 (www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7259893/) that through the use of a thermoregulation models and a simulated Triassic climate, studied how a Coelophysis and Plateosaurus sized animal would fare in equatorial and temperate latitudes. They came to the conclussion that Coelophysis would always be more efficient with integument insulation and would fail to survive at temperate latitudes without it, while Plateosaurus would overheat even with limited isulation in temperate conditions and wouldn't survive in the tropics.
feathers or feather like structures have been found in basal archosaurs. They're older than dinosaurs
@@carlosandleon i had no idea, thank you!
What an interesting dinosaur.
Per the robust and gracile forms, what would we make of a group of wolves and coyotes preserved together in a flash flood?
I hear some Prehistoric Kingdom music, nice touch. How did you get it?
Off of Soundcloud. :)
@@HenrythePaleoGuywhat is it called on there? NVM I found it thanks!
Gen ER a, lol. Love the videos
Always love to see something about my state fossil! The other information presented at the end of the video raises some questions, though. Namely, WHY ARE WE SENDING DINOSAURS TO SPACE? Did some scientists just get drunk and say, "Hey, you know what would be cool? Dinosaurs in a rocket ship!" or was there a legitimate reason for doing this?
12th.... which is even better than first!!
I did a elementary school project on these little guys. I forgot their name till now. They are my favorite dinosaur besides T. rex and the Utahraptor
So glad for some paleo food for my brain.
Certainly a pioneer in dinosaur evolution! It’s novel traits set the ground for one of the most important clades in natural history.
Also, I think entomologists shouldn’t get to decide the name of a dinosaur, by only asking the paleontologists to change it they all would’ve avoided a lot of trouble.
13:35 I have a question: Doesn't the "must have been covered by filaments to keep its metabolism" conclusion clash with Psittacosaurus; a dinosaur that was even smaller, an herbivore (so presumably ate less nutritious food), and we KNOW been completely covered by scales (except the funny cheratinous things on the tail)?
Well, these animals had differing diets, builds, and environmental conditions, so they didn't really need filaments in their case. I'll track down a source I read a while back to respond properly if I find anything.
@@HenrythePaleoGuy Thanks a lot, another issue I had with that study was that mybe assuming the metabolic rate of a modern ratite for coelophysis could be a bit of a stretch. Since it was a pretty basal dinosaur and not too distant (in therms of timescale) from its archosaur ancerstors...though I'm merely an amatour and could very well be completely wrong XD! Great video BTW!
Prosauropods and Herrerasaurus are also Triassic classics
Great video bud! We also generally pronounce it “trokanter”. The ch is usually pronounced like a k in most medical terminology that I’ve encountered, or at least it is when it’s pronounced and written out in English. Probably different in other languages.
Also - for the algorithm!
Thank you for the comments. :)
might just be my opinion but the syntarsus with the crests looks very related to dilophosaurus it even has the premaxillary notch, so it should be called Prodilophosaurus even if its just convergent evolution and not actually a relative i think it fits.
Well, these animals were somewhat closely related taxonomically, all exact specifics are still debated upon, especially with Dilophosaurus.
Even though i think herrarasaurus was cooler i can agree, any triassic documentary isnt complete without a coelophysis
Prehistoric Kingdom music on the background?
Yes. :)
I can't even imagine a human equivalent to the significance of two, individual dinosaur's remains being taken into outer space by mammals in a huge machine. Nothing in that sentence would be possible for even the most fantasy-level smart, aware animal to comprehend. That's so weird to think about. The size of these lads compared to the size of their group, & the size of the known average triassic animals... b r u h . . . makes wolves feel like pugs in comparison.
What about feathers? Noticed that some artist’s gave feathers and some did not. Any evidence one way or the other?
Are there even any recent dinosaurs that eat members of their own species (I know that many mammals do, but never heard this about birds)?
Many species of poultry do if under stress, and it has been seen in some seabirds, as well as shoebills. Not very common though in them.
Plenty of birds of prey.
T. Rex are known to eat their own kind.
What i had in mind was to know if they kill their own to eat them cause not eating already dead ones would presumably resemble a waste of nutrition for animals with metabolic rates thus high.
👍👍👍
Was that the prehistoric kingdom music?
It was. Byron McKay is a fantastic composer. :)
“Big Dead Lizard” Ha! I would guess though that the “P” in Megapnosaurus is silent
In Greek and Latin, there are no silent letters. Technically, Pteranodon should be pronounced pteh-rah-noh-don.
Great video! Also it could be problem on my side, but there is strange high pitched "whistling" in audio, especially around "c"s and "s"s that kinda uncomfortable. Still video is so good I totally can endure this.
What are the most popular Triassic dinosaurs?
@Jesse Mathis there's Herrerasaurus and Eoraptor.
Herrerasaurus is my favourite
Coelophysis was the og compsognathus
Sort of.
I get both of them confused z
Why send a fossil to space? I dont see what this would achieve.
Coelophysis is rockstar.
I’m early lol
I’m first ehhehhehehehehehhHHh
@@corythecorythosaurus1983 Pretty sure Coelophysis was before you...
@@perhapsawhitemale8144 nice one lol
early enought o see ceophysis in the flesh?
Not 1st! Woo!
Ceolophysis is like the trex of the Triassic.
Not even close, seeing as it was no apex predator.
Well, Tyrannosaurus in terms of notoriety.
Plateosaurus: What about me
Well, they were included in the study, and since it was interesting, I covered them in this video. :)
8:52 looks like a spinosaurid!
There were never any bad Coelophysis only bad owners.
What the hell is going on with the arms on the thing @ 2:36?
10:45 Just ask: “Hypacrosaurus casuarius”, “Monoclonius albertensis” and “Velociraptor antirrhopus”
Then again a genus name is only arbitrary so i suppose its not technically wrong to lump them together
Why would you put a fossil in space
Now in laymen's terms GO!!!!!
Yes, quite a lot of extensive terminology in this one. XD
There are so many cool names that are taken by invertebrates
Like for example arambourgiania was at first named titanopteryx and titanopteryx was the name given to a fly.
Indeed!
I remember first learning that when I was younger and being really disappointed on that. XD
what if Coelophysis was intelligent and buried their dead?
T-Rex video intensifies
Lesothosaurus
to me Coelophysis was scaly, the Triassic was far too hot for feathers. maybe if Coelophysis lived during the Cretaceous it could've had feathers, but no, it lived during the Triassic. As for dinosaurs of the Jurassic it would depend on their size.
He goes over this in the video at 12:50
@@iridiumSerpent why did he bring up prosauropods when talking specifically about Coelophysis, which were, as far as I can tell, theropods?
@@lordreptilestormblade1749 The time stamp was when the discussion about the climate in the Triassic started, he just happened to talk about prosauropods first, he then goes on to say that a smaller, thin-bodied theropod would have needed feathers or featherlike covering to regulate body temperature.
@@iridiumSerpent ah. I suppose quills or something thin could work, but I'm still not convinced full-fledged feathers would've helped as it either would've caused overheating or forced it to live in areas with either more shade or less heat. Scales would still be ideal but yes, I can see how quills might help.
I shall settle this....it's name.....is Edmund.
I have spoken.....
if you ask anyone a dinosaur from Triassic they will answer : tyrannosaurs rex
As a wannabe entomologist, I find the controversy over Megnaposaurus offensive and I support the entomologists fully even though I didn't pay attention to the details of the matter because I was writing this comment instead.
Same here. It's really not as big of an issue as they made it out to be. The humorous name, while not too formal, is not exactly an uncommon thing, and sometimes it goes to show that fun can go into naming animals if it's not too offensive.
State dinosaur of New York
This is not and re7 playlist from critical
In today's raptors, the male is smaller and "mounts" the female.
Indeed!
"Unique" can\t be qualified by "most" or "very" Only by "almost". It means the only one.
@Jesse Mathis "Unique", whether in connotation or denotation, means "the only one". It's from Latin "unus", meaning "one", via "unicus", meaning "the only one", via French "unique", meaning "single" or "solitary". Pretty clear etymology.
naming it "big dead lizard" is fucking hilarious and all the people salty about it need to learn how to take a joke.
WWD really overrated this critter.
"Simplistic" does not mean what this video thinks it does.
To me, it isn't, but hopefully people who watch this can learn more about the topic to be more familiar with the terms. :)
genuses = genera
Very true.
A flash flood cannot wipe out an entire species.
Well, that's not entirely impossible depending on their habitat and population, but in this case, it was just an exceptional number of them being deposited, not being made extinct as a whole.
solid no on this video. I love paleontology but the use of only big words makes it sound like you don't know what you're talking about or you're presenting this subject to an audience that already knows the subject matter. or you're just reading of big words to compensate your lack of true understanding. take a page from r/explainitlikeiamfive and consider the fact that if you can't explain it to a novice you don't actually know the subject matter.

Sorry about that. My voice is quite inclined to doing that, even with audio alterations.

Can go either way. XD
Looking at it, Coelophysis reminds me of Troodon
