To try to solve the puzzle of Lark Quarry, experts have turned to a special subfield of paleontology -- paleoichnology, or the study of trace fossils -- to reconstruct exactly what happened on that spot, on that day, nearly 100,000 millennia ago.
Thanks to Fabrizio de Rossi for the excellent reconstruction(s) of what may have happened at Lark Quarry: / artoffabricious

Paleontologists be like *"Why are you running?! Why are you running?!"*
PFFFFFT
Haha
Damn XD
WAI ARE YO RONIN?!
I don't get it
Regular poop: ewwwww
Fossilized poop: information dump
I cannot express my appreciation of your joke with merely an upthumb
That's a good pun, right there. I appreciate a good pun.
Ha
And I've been flushing mine like an idiot...
This pun is the sh@#
I truly appreciate the size scale comparison using silhouettes next to the presenters. Very helpful . Thank you.
💯
I do too although i notice they don't always use it on some episodes for some reason which i wish they would lol
...except we don't know the presenter sizes... which means they need to Meet and Greet their fans... for *Scienctific* scaling purposes...clearly no other reasons 😅
I think so too!
"It was believed to be 3.3 meters long."
My dumbass opening meters to feet conversion calculator: ah yes 10 feet.
PBS Eons remains one of the high spots in all of RUclips.
100% . Their quality is unwavering
(Don't upvote my comment. Upvote the main comment.)
3 years later it still does 💪🤟
A dinosaur called something like "Lovenator" seriously sounds like an invention made by doofenshmirtz
Sounds like something he'd create to make all single women in the Tri-state area be attracted to him after he got an ad of "Local singles are interested in you".
Either that or he can't pay child support anymore and just wants to remarry his wife
BEHOLD!
Big up to PBS Eons for continually releasing content for us all to watch during this hard time.
This is such an awesome channel.
IICJZII What hard time? Nothing compared to my marriage...
@@markheller197 If you're not happy in your marriage you should probably leave it LMAO
@@markheller197 haha well props to them for helping you deal with your ball n chain
I would like to see a video on the evolution of seahorses. I think that would be an interesting idea.
Nah , a horse just decided to take a dip and then boom , this is my home now
Agree. That would be cool.
YES
@@orangecat9559 That's not seahorses, that's whales. :)
@@lewisirwin5363 That, of course, is a line from the popular krill produced horror/disaster movie "Baleen".
Can we please take a moment to appreciate that there's a dinosaur called the Lovenator
Yes
Proof that doctor doofenshmertz is god
Lovenator? I think you missed the austra part of the name.
Australovenator
Southern hunter
Lol
"Lovenator" sounds like it would be a weapon made by Doofensmirtz that forces people to fall in love. XD
@@silvertheelf Southern Love Machine more like
Dinos 100 million years ago:
Paleontologists: what the hell happened here?
[Thick cockney accent] *Oi! .....what's all this then....*
the entire field of paleontology is just one giant "right, what's all this then?"
Meanwhile the Dinosaurs were just having a Tuesday
being a casual anime fan and reading the words "eromanga sea" in a pbs eons video feels like receiving a sudden slap to the face, i'll give you that
I actually had to pause to reread it just in case i heard it wrong😂
@@zyrahanne2103 Same, guess the Japanese got to Australia after all.
knew this comment had to be somewhere
“They’re uhh... there’re flocking this way...”
The Lovinator, uh, finds a way.
Of course they are.... Why would they decide to flock in any other direction?
Australovenator like a tyrant and all the lil dryos start rushing like a bunch of Gallis.
@@silvertheelf Everybody gangsta til Austrolovenator shows up.
@@harrietharlow9929 lol
With all the craziness in the world, it's nice to look back at a simpler time with stampeding non-avian Aussie dinos
:)
Someone told them that Macca’s was on discount
I remember this formation mention in When Dinosaurs Ruled - Australia and Antarctica edition, with the Goldblum.
eleking gudon Same here, my friend.
THE Goldblum
I remember when the dinosaurs ruled too
That show aired in the UK too! Though we titled it "Jurassica" narrated by a Scottish woman whom I believe did a better job than Goldblum (no offence to the guy but I think she did it better) ruclips.net/video/X1CUfWchdnA/видео.html
I live in Queensland, Australia and I didn’t even know this was a thing. This is why this channel is my favourite thing to watch!
You don't know that we have our own Gobi and Garden Park right in our own backyard? UN-AUSTRALIAN!
Hey, I lived in Winton once - and the World's Longest Road Train got more tourism coverage than the fossils. If they mentioned rocks, it was almost always about the nearby opal mines.
Yeh, I live in Cairns (normally, but away atm).. I've been trying to get people together for a trip to Winton for years.. so hard to find people interested
@@saorsatk Were it not for this virus, I would be planning my drive up to Winton, Muttaburra, Longreach and Brissy - where some of the fossils are on display. Bloody virus...
There's a great 4 part series called "Australia's First 4 Billion Years" from 7-8 years ago out there. It was broadcast on NOVA in the US but was an Australian production originally. It covers this (and many other interesting things!) as well.
Fantastic as always, I’d love to see an episode on paleobotany and why plants were so much different than the plants covering the planet today
kyle archbold Seconded!
While maybe not exactly what you are looking for, they have done a couple of episodes on plants. "History's Most Powerful Plants" and "When the Earth was Purple" are two interesting episodes.
There's also a great series called How to Grow a Planet that talks about the evolution of plants and how they drove animal evolution.
Different environment, different fauna
In one word: flowers.
But to actually explain why that one word changed everything, we would need a PBS video. Like this one ruclips.net/video/13aUo5fEjNY/видео.html
0:16 ah yes, my favourite sea!
Eromanga Sensei
Best sea
Fossils found there consist exclusively of groups of younger female dinosaurs near singular slightly older male dinosaurs, except in cases of nest finds where young male specimens always share a nest with only a single unhatched female specimen. Scientists are baffled, but theorize that finds represent yet unexplained pack behavior, a large gender imbalance in hatched dinosaur eggs, and simple random chance.
Eromanga Sen-sea
6:14 They are not not drag marks. I sort of had some fun with a time machine and had chariot races with dinosaurs. Sorry if I confused anyone.
How many other "drag marks" across the fossil record have you caused with your wild chariot racing?? Dammit you messed with the timeline!!! :P
@Level JZG Sounds like something a time traveler would say to try and preserve the timeline.
0:14 Now that's an unfortunate naming coincidence for any weebs
OOf

I was specifically searching for this comment after seeing that
i did a real life double take
Kallie is my favourite. Such a soothing voice, informative and well communicated.
The other two are that as well
I forgot the name of the guy with the Glases, but he has such an ASMR-Voice and narates the "Journey to the Microcosmus"-Channel
i literally go to sleep by watching eons especially with her in it!
The ripped guy's pretty good, too.
it hit me that we're studying footprints left a million years ago. That's crazy
Many millions.
I love this channel. I graduated with a geology degree 4 years ago, and this channel helps satisfy my knowledge cravings.
And honestly, I must say that I love your comment that have actually inspired me.
@@the_one_who_has_a_very_str5580 I'm glad to hear that. Never stop learning.
Last time I was this early, Sahara was still a rain forest.
God, I love Kallie. ❤️
So refreshing to hear a non-Australian pronounce "Emu" correctly.
How was that different?
Austin Shoupe it’s like hearing someone pronounce something in your language correctly without an accent or being able to speak it...
At least that’s what I think
@@austinshoupe3003 Should sound like "Ee-myuu" or "Eem-you", not "Ee-Moo" like many North Americans pronounce it.
Is it emu or emu?
13 centimeter.
A tiny pet dinosaur.
I want one!
You can have one, easily. Just go and buy a parakeet. It will cost you between $10 to $60. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parakeet
@@JohnSmithEx nice
We need a lengthy Australian Megafauna video 🙌✨
0:16 EROMANGA SENSEI HAD ITS OWN SEAWAY!?!?!? *_NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!_*
0:17 For some reason, I have seen maps for the Eromanga Sea to basically be large enough to have a Australia to become islands. Don’t know why. I am going with the one you portrayed PBS Eons, also you should do a video on the Eromanga Sea!
Most seas are not static. The picture you first saw could be the max size, while the PBS pic could have been the area at the time of the stampede.
@@sjonnieplayfull5859 As a geology major, I totally agree with your statement that most seas are not static. In fact, no seas or oceans are or ever have been static. For example, both the Black Sea and the Caspian Sea have continuously changed their shapes while the continental glaciers were receding at the end of the last major glaciation event.
Yes sensei, please teach us about the Eromanga!
E-e-eromanga...???
They did refer to it as a "retreating sea," so it's possible it was both at some point. I agree, a video on it might help clear up the info and the timeline.
I would love a video on Bajadasaurus, and why it had that killer mohawk!
Eromanga sea: *exists*
Weeb dinosaurs: 👁👄👁
"Eromanga-sea"
I see you're a man of culture as well
There must be a treasure trove of fossilized H-doujin buried in there.

⊙﹏⊙
thank you for uploading this video on my birthday! first present I have been given today :) (I'm from Australia so the video is very fitting while I'm in locked down) :)
Had to give a "thumbs up" to someone with the same bday. 🙂
Your channel is so bloody good it makes me want to get a raise so I can give you guys a contribution because something I enjoy so much should not be free.
I love you PBS Eons (:
The day y’all make the episodes a half hour long I’ll be so happy. Until then I rewatch and rewatch old episodes.
I went on a road trip over a decade ago now to see the "Dinosaur Triangle" which includes Winton and in particular Lark Quarry. It was so amazing to see the tracks up close, and it's so great to see it being discussed by one of my favourite channels!
3:51 Sharktopus
I'm not the only one who misread that. Admit it
That is exactly how I read it
I know I said this before but, I suggest the relationship between sauropods and the large theropods that preyed upon them. (How dependent these predators relied on these giants and how there's evidence for these interactions on nearly every continent)
You can alway rely on Steve to help out on providing videos. !!!!!!THANK YOU STEVE!!!!!!
0:15 that's a very cultured name. A salute to the ones who named it.
I visited this place with my family last year. I remember the guide shone her laser pointer on a small footprint that had been filled in with plaster, and she said that decades ago, a young hooligan had come up from the town and had wanted to make a print of a fossil to take home. Apparently the rangers caught him before he took it away, but they left the plaster in there to avoid damaging the fossil and as a reminder
Interesting, but I don't think we should label people like that.
Thanks Steve
Your storytelling skills are amazing, never get tired of these videos!
But, how did these tracks get fossilized? Isn't that the reason they were running? A mudflood or something that buried and preserved the footprints perhaps? Kinda dissapointed they didn't discuss how these prints got fossilized...
Muddy footprints that dry in the sun can get preserved later by deposits of sand or small pebbles inside the print.
I suggest an internet search on "dino track preserve" to find more information.
I dig the positivity of the comments here. Such a refreshing contrast from the usual cesspool.
I also really like, that you put in ambient noise. Gives it an really awesome atmosphere! Good job! :)
Did you know that eromanga sea is so popular they make an anime based on it?
DO NOT GOOGLE THIS WITH SAFESEARCH OFF!!!
WITHOUT THE "SEA", that is
Eromanga Sea: Proof that scientists are people of culture.
Are we not going to acknowledge that there's an Eromanga Sea?
The specific circumstances needed to prevent the footprints from being destroyed is incredible. Nature is insane.
I prefer this lady's Narration... it seems very soothing to the ear and easily understandable...
its so cool to see a video about your country or a place you've been especially on one of your fav channelss
I visited Lark Quarry last year and it was fantastic! If anyone is interested, it's a part of the Australian Dinosaur Trail, with Winton being home to Lark Quarry and the Australian Age of Dinosaurs museum. A must see for the lovers of prehistory!
Absolutely love this channel. So many interesting videos to watch and learn from!
I bloody love this channel 👌
You're English!
You are not alone!
I love the video as always please do more of these fossil scene recreations, everything from footprints to the tar pits there is so many to explore like this video ❤️
You guys are AMAZING, love the show, one of the best channels of the whole youtube.
I would love to see an episode about the Argentavis genus, or maybe about the Pelagornis.
Cheers form south america
Awesome video Kallie Moore. Jam-packed as usual, I learned a lot.
I never thought I would go onto one of my favourite channels and hear them set the scene in Queensland, Aus. I literally double glanced. :D Makes me excited to research more about what else there could be in my neck of the woods.
Always a good day when eons upload a video. I always love the content. Keep it up guys! My son and I love your show!
I love how you use the metric system.
It's amazing how much we can know about something so specific that happened millions of years ago.
If it was a “herd” stampeding, then you would probably find a spot near the starting point where 1-5% of the ”herd” abruptly separated from the main group at a sharp angle. This phenomena has been observed occurring amongst many species.
What a cool video
can't wait for next week!!!
I've got a pretty awesome trace fossil at home: the fossilised ink of a belemnite from the Jurassic. A guide found it in England and gifted it to me.
Probably one of my favourite episodes!
looking at these foot prints of a dinosaur just makes me bring up a real life vision of a giant reptile chicken walking around in my head
Nice half sleeve Kallie. And thanks for yet another concise, informative report!
On the tour they showed us how the therapod’s footprints are fully compressed for the first three and then toe prints after that, with mud pushed back and an accentuated angle of the footprint which they said shows it had been stalking and then started running. The footprints also take a sharp right turn which looks like it was chasing something. Also it’s possible that there was a hunt on one day and a small stampede, and then other dinosaurs came to the same drinking spot later and walked over the prints. Really cool to see this show up on Eons.
Geologists: Eromanga sea
Weebs: Eromanga SEAnsei
Most palentologists: we use computers to make a 3D model of the footprint to study it
Australian palentologists: I build Dino foot
this is probably one of the few times I can appreciate the art of maths, because we can determine the size by just looking at the footprints and how far they are apart xD it´s truly amazing what details can be picked up just from meticulously analyzing every footprint and they even went so far as replicating a foot and studying how it walked. I love that dedication :3
Eons, a pleasant reminder that mysteries don't need to be sensational to be fascinating and entertaining!
Eromanga sea seems familiar to me.. Well it's really nice to see some video about Australia's creatures of the past. I'm really fascinated how that place is a major fossil area for finding the earliest forms of life and dinos living right next to the polar south!
Neat analysis! Thanks for uploading!
I just plain love this series
The Queensland Museum has a good chunk of the stampede on the wall. Love that display.
Hope to get out to the Winton Dino park one day, it's just a *VERY* long way from anywhere... It's 1500km from where I live :(
How amazing it would be to be go back in time for a little while and see these things with our own eyes
im glad i became a Geo-science major when i was 30. I already had 20 years experience as an outdoorsman. It makes a difference recognizing the difference between trace fossils and yesterdays events..✌
Had the chance to say "They were moving in herds" at 9:10 ...
I'd imagine that you'd also be able to find their weight by the impression depth
I was waiting for your video for so long ! you have no idea !
Great ep! Seeing a feathered dinosaur was especially exciting!
I would love to see them cover the evolution of the eye
Is so sweet to listen to your voice again
Man what’s the budget on these videos. The sound mixing it top tier
The corkscrew photo was pretty interesting!
The video about it is pretty interesting too!
I always love that Channel. But the background bass music is great. I really enjoyed it too.
there is a similar example of this near Hartford, CT. It would have been neat to view a comparison of the North American and Australian sites related to methods of study and findings.
Both educational and entertaining. Thank you.
This channel is the pinnacle of RUclips.
I truly appreciate having subtitles consistently available. But there's a slight issue at 3:38-ish. The graphic is blocked by the subtitle bar.
Since I'm using them as a supplement in a noisy location, it's not a huge issue for me to turn the subtitle off. But other people may need to turn them off to see the graphic and then back the video up to read the dialog. Is it possible to center the graphics a little more?
Or maybe there's a way to adjust the subtitle position that I'm missing.
Nice video as always.
But could you do a video about how the large amount of large theropods could live alongside each other in the Morrison Formation?
Hey Eons. Love the videos and follow them religiously. One idea for a video that could be fun - Dinosaur Soft Tissue: Did Dinosaurs have Ears? - I know the answer is “probably not” but I would love to see your artist speculate on a t-rex with ears or diplodocus with a trunk.
more dinosaur videos please, i love them!
I can remember there was a documentary about this, They even made a foam dino leg/foot from one of the footprints.
hehehe, the name :the Devilscorkscrew; makes me giggle every time.
I love the art!!!
Thank you, pbs Eons
There is a trackway of footprints where I live from the late Cretaceous, where a herd of 13meter-long sauropods moved from North to South. It´s interesting how animals behaviour is preserved and tells us a story. This place is in Malargue, Mendoza, in Argentina and the sauropod footprints were called "Titanopodus mendozensis"
Off topic, but I love that ink on your arm.
