Most of the headbutting in Pachycephalosaurs for competition is the same as a bison or male goats and sheep to show how strong they are and how much better of a mate for female Pachycephalosaurs to choose and brain damage was a risk that was taken
Raikou is already a saber tooth. You'd have to find a way to make them different enough that they wouldn't get muddled. Dire wolves might be a better choice.
@@FoxxyFire-HellFrost making distinct pokemon from the same species has hardly been a problem for pokemon in the past! look at how many butterfly/moth pokemon there are! theyre all pretty disticnt
@@FoxxyFire-HellFrost😂😂😂 cause there are no canine pokemon, we really lack those but god forbidde there is a frozen sabertooth cat cause an Amalgam pokemon where people debate whatever the group are dogs or cats in the first place . . .

Definitely an ice type. Yes we have Chien-Pao, but he’s more ferret than tiger. I want a true Saber Tooth Tiger. It can be Ice/Rock, but make it super fast and hit hard to make up for its bad typing. And give it Snow Cloak so it can be more evasive in Snowy Weather.
Fun Fact: Archen has Pokedex entry in Ultra Sun that reads “Once thought to be the ancestor of all bird Pokemon, some of the latest research suggests that may not be the case” so yeah not only did they retcon it, they made it so that pokemon paleontology looks like it’s advancing as well. Neat.
Technically archaeological stuff always gets retconned irl. So many new discoveries every day that we have to constantly change our belief of certain animals. For example, spinosaurus
watching this while a biology student roommate is listening in the living room... the tangible frustration on his face whenever the word anemone is mispronounced is GOLD! thanks lockstin
So, when I was a kid, my thought process for Lileep and Cradily's tentacles was that they were like worms. Worms are used for bait, some angler predators have their lures look like a squiggling worm, so a part of how these two hunt is to look like a bunch of worms. The phallic resemblance is likely an unfortunate design consequence...
Kinda reminds me of some squid designs... They just look phallic on default so trying to design a cute squid without entering that territory, you gotta get creactive.
37:18 the pachycephalosaur headbutting is NOT a myth. I say this as one well versed in the paleo community there are many specimens with healed injuries on the top of their heads, indicating ritualized combat with the heads that was not to the death. There's also the fact that even in their skeletons there are clear adaptations for it. There is of course, what pachycephalosaurs are named for, their thick heads, which *are* thick enough to absorb a good amount of force. Even if they weren't, animals with the same strategy like rams literally don't care about brain damage. They hurt themselves a little bit even with all those adaptations, just to impress a mate. That and also, unlike other dinosaurs, pachycephalosauridae (and this group only) have their necks attached to the underside of their skulls, like humans. This HELPS to absorb force more directly, you've gotten it mixed up sadly. In tandem with the thickness of the cranium this helps them to more easily bend down their heads and also absorb force than if they just had a regular "neck plugs in at the back side" head (that would crumple their necks). also pachycephalosaurs literally come from marginocephalia, the same group as ceratopsia. These animals are KNOWN for their head weaponry. you don't have to take my word for it, try an actual paleontologist. Watch prehistoric planet: uncovered's episode on it, or watch the skeleton crew's (the paleo yt channel, not the disney show) video on pachycephalosaurus.
@@dinoboy099 thank YOU lol I was afraid everybody would skip over this haha. Just trying to stop misinformation when I can. I don't blame lockstin though
I mean, on top of that; pachycephalosaurids being omnivorous isn't completely out of the realm of possibility. They had almost the same teeth as troodontids.
Re: Which of Kabuto's eyes are the real ones Both and more. Horseshoe crabs have 9 eyes. Two big ones on top where you'd expect. A pair of tiny ones just behind them. A triplet towards the front. Two on the bottom near the mouth. And their tail is slightly photosensitive as well.
I know this is a compilation of other videos made over the last couple of years, but at 11:34, "ptera" does not mean "finger". "Ptera" means "wing", and "dactyl" means "finger". "Pteradactyl" means "wing-finger". Along the same line of thinking, "saur" means "lizard" so 11:46 "pterosaur" means "wing-lizard".
The part about the T-Rex's intelligence reminds me of Will Ferrell in Land of the Lost repeatedly saying they had brains the size of walnuts, and then the T-Rex hunting them leaves a massive walnut outside of the cave they're hiding in.
I remember seeing that and for the longest time I thought the T-Rex threw its actual brain for some reason, since the brain was the main topic of discussion I figured the intrusion was tied to the main topic rather than the thing the topic was being compared to... Don't ask me how I thought the T-Rex was still alive after I thought it threw it's brain, I just thought it was some sort of special T-Rex
I would argue armaldo is MUCH more of a eurypterid than kabutops, especially keeping with the apex predator theme of anomalocaris. armaldo aslo just looks a lot more like a eurypterid with the general body shape
1:46 actually, the asteroid didn't kill off the ammonites *instantly* , as some lived into the early paleocene (the time immediately following the cretaceous), but it still doomed them also, while it is true that ammonites started to get more wacky, uncoiled shells in the cretaceous, the more standard coiled ones were still there too with them
Also, its interesting to note that they introduced pokemon based off creatures that tend to stay low to the ground (if not sedentary) in the games where we can Dive to the *ocean floor* in. Tunicates being deep ocean floor dwellers makes a lot of sense for being cradilly inspo seeing that we explore the sea floor of hoenn
Also, I'm from San Diego which has its own genus of Fairy Shrimp. And the way they live does kind of line up with the Heat and Rainfall of Hoenn They lay their eggs in the rainy seasons in vernal pools (much like the shallow pools on the east of Fortree city) and can survive the heat (much like groudon's drought ability) to hatch again next time it rains (like when Kyogre has its Drizzle activate) So in a weird way, Anorith being a shrimp makes sense too. The shrimp (at least where I'm from) have adapted to the dry and wetness of the area.
Another popular theory for the rex arms being small is similar but opposite solution for why komodo dragon limbs are so big. Studies show that Rexs were social and also scavengers, and would eat together, and just like komodo dragons they sometimes would bite limbs that weren't the carcass. So, to prevent massive bloodloss, which would lead to death, the arms got smaller and smaller to avoid disarming each other.
1:32:45 It’s so weird to me that a specimen like Sue can even be sold in the first place. In Denmark where I live, paleontological and archaeological finds of scientific significance belong to the state by default, no matter who finds them. The finder gets a reward, but you have to hand them in. If found here, something like Sue not only morally but *legally* belongs in a museum.
For anyone interested, the dinosaur statues in Crystal Palace Park, South London are still there but are a bit worse for wear nowadays however, I did read they are in line for a clean up at some point
'Think about how giraffes fight' ....... "She's all neck and legs look at her" "Oh I am lookin at her" "STOP LOOKIN AT HER!" "YOU JUST TOLD ME TO LOOK AT HER!" "OW!" "OW!" "OW!" "That's right at me throat, that!"
Aurorus was already my favourite Fossil Pokemon out of all the fossil Pokemon. It also gave me a much greater appreciation for Ice type Pokemon, seeing that I've always had an Ice type Pokemon from Gen 4 and only noticed it in Gen 6 because of Aurorus. To learn more about Aurorus has just given me an even greater appreciation for my favourite Fossil Pokemon. Thank you for the awesome Videos
WAIT A SPANISH CHANNEL??? MY INTEREST HAS PEAKED 👁👁👁 i'd absolutely LOVE to see that!! (i searched and nothing came up TT_TT) hell, i'd even be willing to help!! i have the knowledge _AND_ passion to apply to it!! i'm all about accessibility and expanding knowledge about the things i love to reach more people, so a Spanish Lockstin&Gnoggin channel sounds like an amazing idea!!
What I hope we get with another US based region is a region variant of the Tyrunt line that is bigger, stronger, and more representative of the fact that the T.Rex specifically is North American (while tyrannosaurs in general could be found everywhere)
Carbon dating isn't used for fossils. Carbon14 only lasts up to about 50,000 years. Rocks are radiometrically dated using methods like Potassium-Argon, Uranium-Lead, and Rubidium-Strontium dating. These isotopes have significantly longer half-lives.
Upper and Lower Egypt weren't about north and south. It was about elevation. Water flows downhill, and the Nile flowed down (from south to north) to Lower Egypt from Upper Egypt, and into the Mediterranean.
I wish there were an Ankylosaurus fossil Pokémon. I know both Groudon and Torterra are partially based on an Ankylosaurus but those are subtle. We need a fossil Pokémon based specifically on it.
I always thought that the Egyptians confused North and south because of the nile river which flows south to north. They may have believed it flowed from top to bottom instead of the other way. Or maybe they were actually onto something and maybe lower Egypt may have a lower elevation to upper Egypt which is why the river flows that way in the firs place lol.
32:41 I have never really cared much about this Pokemon before, but the longer Anorith is just sitting there gawking at me with those googly eyes the cuter it actually seems to me. 😅
I remember when the Fossils Pokemon of Galar the four mons appeared weird but it’s was based of the real event of Bone Wars mixing up the top and bottom fossils, But I grown and appreciate them in the Anime and Game because of Ash’s Dracovish.
Turtles have one of the most complete, clear, and evident lines of fossils showing how they went from average reptiles o the form we recognize as turtle-like today. I would guess thats why they picked it.
I’ve found a few crinoid and ammonite fossils in the filler rocks used to decorate the outsides of buildings. Makes you wonder where they sourced the rocks from, and how deep they dug to get those rocks.
Belive it or not, I found an ammonite in a sand bar by tripping on it and now he's my pet rock/animal. One time I dropped him, and he chipped, revealing some amethyst! I love him!
The "eep" part of Lileep's name could also be more direct: A common sound effect people make when startled (like, say, by being grabbed up by what you thought was seaweed?) is to shout out "EEP!"
we've seen multi-gen gaps between pokemon of the same line, so I wouldn't totally give up on the idea that they may introduce the "correct" versions of the galar fossil-mon
1:42:51 LOCKSTIN! SNOW QUEEN IS DANISH! The Snow Queen was wrote by H.C. Andersen, and he was DANISH as in DENMARK! x'D The ever rival of Sweden! YOU EVEN USED THE WIKI-PAGE PICTURE!! My ancestors screamed in the back of my mind x'D
Fun fact! You can tell if something is a bone if you put your tongue on it and it sticks because of how porous bone is. So archeologists be tasting bones.
anomalocaris, the 'unusual shrimp' is such an incredible fossil to see in person. it's the first creature i think of for the cambrian period! it's also pronounced like anomaly. anomalo-caris
In the future, they bring the galar fossil Pokémon back but you have the option to fix them up cause I want to see them as their meant to be selves too! They're by far very interesting.
Regarding the section on the Dino Fossil, you actually missed something kinda HUGE... The Dino Fossil is actually called (in Japanese) the PLESIO Fossil. This means we know what collection of dinosaurs the lower body type is intended to be referencing. This is why it waddles and swims... it was never meant to be a land-dwelling creature. It moves as you would expect a beached Lapras to move.
1:37 Need to be nit-picky. ammonites lived during the Jurassic and Cretacous period. Before that, there were the ammonoides. All ammonites were other ammonoides, but not all ammonoides were ammonites.
If you want to know more about Pokémon fossils and the amazing T-rex, a smaller youtuber, killikVA, made a video explaining them and making a timeline using the real counterparts. If you like long videos and taking Pokémon seriously, I think it complements really well with this video, made me want a collab
Wasnt there recent research done on the ceratopsians (triceratops and such) where they now believe they had quills along their hide? Not just their tails but literally porcupine Dinosaurs due tonfound skin impressions?
The way I always remembered it growing up is that the Centrosaurids had all of their horns, which are in the central point of their face, as their greater sort of defense whereas the Chasmosaurids had large enough frills to cover a chasm
You might get this a lot, But it's mostly the line "It went extinct 100 million years ago" is kinda more how much later it survived then Kabutops. It's extremely safe to assume this thing was around before Scream Tail (which I still stick with the 'imagination' theory of SV's plot)
I love, love, love these longer videos so much, I enjoy these and just having them on as background noise or just something to fall asleep too, I've been revisting the longer ones you had posted for when you got wrist surgery I hope that we get some for the end of the year lmao. That be nice. Anyway, lots of love from a fellow oregonian, thats for being one of my favorite poketuber.
I've lived an hour away from Chicago my whole life but I somehow never went to the Field Museum until a few years ago. Sue really is an amazing sight to see in person. There was also an incredibly well-preserved body of an early human that I cannot for the life of me remember the name of but I remember standing there and staring at it for several minutes, unable to make myself move on. It was a really profound experience.
I'm still only about halfway through the video, but please dont tell me you did a whole video on every fossil Pokémon without mentioning the real world Pokémon Fossil Museum exhibit in Japan. You could have at least shown the Pokémon skeleton models they made.
I'm always excited for the starters, eeveelutions(hopeium at this stage) and fossil Pokemon. Tyrantrum fulfilled a childhood dream for a T-Rex Pokemon.
I used to have a feather duster starfish in my 100 gallon saltwater coral reef tank. It was a beautiful red color and was so fun to watch swim around. I also had an anemone that was very finicky about where it wanted to be placed. I had tried to keep it where it could be seen easily, but it was insistent of rooting itself in the back of the tank where no one would see it. I gave up after two tries as i did not want to stress it out too much and cause it harm.
Fun fossil turtle fact! We have no idea where they come from :3 Turtles kinda just, show up, in the late Permian. We have hypothesized ancestors like Eunotosaurus, but no transitional stages to solidify any relationships, so a they are pretty big on the "paleontology bucket list"
1:45:34 Lockstin, trust me when I say Paleontology is one of the most combative fields of science there is! 👀 Side note: I always wished that we could get the Galar fossil Pokémon correctly arranged.
still dream for the day, we get a ghost-type raptor fossil or a fire-type stegosaur also, being someone from Greenland i seriously love Aurorus, northern are just as byotiful, heck, more so when watching them real life northern lights was seen as the spirits traveling, and if you whistled to it, they would grab/detach your head and use it as a "football", it was a common dare you did as a child

anomalocaris, the 'unusual shrimp' is such an incredible fossil to see in person. it's the first creature i think of for the cambrian period! it's also pronounced like anomaly. anomalo-caris
Found this just in time for Dino December 😂 just a tad early ❤
Cradily was the bane of my existence in the battle royale. I've since grown to quite like the bastard.
In the future, they bring the galar fossil Pokémon back but you have the option to fix them up cause I want to see them as their meant to be selves too! They're by far very interesting.
i love videos compilations like this. thanks for sharing!
I just love kalos fossil pokemon....they are the best designed fossil Pokémon
Regarding the section on the Dino Fossil, you actually missed something kinda HUGE... The Dino Fossil is actually called (in Japanese) the PLESIO Fossil. This means we know what collection of dinosaurs the lower body type is intended to be referencing. This is why it waddles and swims... it was never meant to be a land-dwelling creature. It moves as you would expect a beached Lapras to move.
As a guy who love dinos very good video ❤❤❤❤❤
1:50:46 I love my mixed up dyno babies. They are by far the best of them all. I only wish we have the other parts for more funny combinations.
The gen 6 fossils speak to my little autistic heart
2-hour video on video-game fossils? HECK YEAH!!!
Dactyl means finger
Ptero means wing or feather
1:03:15 Kansas
1:05:49 same, and now Tyrantrum is my favorite Pokémon
1:37 Need to be nit-picky. ammonites lived during the Jurassic and Cretacous period. Before that, there were the ammonoides. All ammonites were other ammonoides, but not all ammonoides were ammonites.
Fossils! Dun, dun dun.
Bop! 👇
If you want to know more about Pokémon fossils and the amazing T-rex, a smaller youtuber, killikVA, made a video explaining them and making a timeline using the real counterparts.
If you like long videos and taking Pokémon seriously, I think it complements really well with this video, made me want a collab
Wasnt there recent research done on the ceratopsians (triceratops and such) where they now believe they had quills along their hide? Not just their tails but literally porcupine Dinosaurs due tonfound skin impressions?
The way I always remembered it growing up is that the Centrosaurids had all of their horns, which are in the central point of their face, as their greater sort of defense whereas the Chasmosaurids had large enough frills to cover a chasm
53:20 also worth pointing out that the .9 could come into play because archen's line is the 9th line of fossil pokémon
You might get this a lot, But it's mostly the line "It went extinct 100 million years ago" is kinda more how much later it survived then Kabutops. It's extremely safe to assume this thing was around before Scream Tail (which I still stick with the 'imagination' theory of SV's plot)
You forgot about timestamp in Sinnoh!
between this, and mikey’s recent pokédex entry compilation upload, i’m sleeping GOOD this week…
Day 17 of asking for the my singing monsters explained video
The implication that the resurrection process is flawed and that at least some fossil Pokémon looked different in their original forms fascinates me.
Please for the love of the gods give us forms of the FIXED/CORRECT depictions of the Galar fossils
I love, love, love these longer videos so much, I enjoy these and just having them on as background noise or just something to fall asleep too, I've been revisting the longer ones you had posted for when you got wrist surgery I hope that we get some for the end of the year lmao. That be nice. Anyway, lots of love from a fellow oregonian, thats for being one of my favorite poketuber.
My headcanon on Kabuto's eyes are the red ones but the top ones are holes they can look out of with the red ones to see things above them.
I've lived an hour away from Chicago my whole life but I somehow never went to the Field Museum until a few years ago. Sue really is an amazing sight to see in person. There was also an incredibly well-preserved body of an early human that I cannot for the life of me remember the name of but I remember standing there and staring at it for several minutes, unable to make myself move on. It was a really profound experience.
Pter is latin for wing or feather dactyl is finger. pterodactyl is wing finger
I need to know what music are you using during this video. The Saxophone songs are so good!
small note: in the video chapters we're missing the chapter differentiation between Hoenn and Sinnoh. just saying -3-"
Im kinda liking this new animation, just want to say it definitely lets you be more emotive
Rock type fossil pokemon are honestly my favorite pokemon, I really, really hope we get more next gen!
I'm still only about halfway through the video, but please dont tell me you did a whole video on every fossil Pokémon without mentioning the real world Pokémon Fossil Museum exhibit in Japan. You could have at least shown the Pokémon skeleton models they made.
I'm always excited for the starters, eeveelutions(hopeium at this stage) and fossil Pokemon. Tyrantrum fulfilled a childhood dream for a T-Rex Pokemon.
Ptero means wing, not finger. Dactyl means finger
I used to have a feather duster starfish in my 100 gallon saltwater coral reef tank. It was a beautiful red color and was so fun to watch swim around. I also had an anemone that was very finicky about where it wanted to be placed. I had tried to keep it where it could be seen easily, but it was insistent of rooting itself in the back of the tank where no one would see it. I gave up after two tries as i did not want to stress it out too much and cause it harm.
The Bone Wars video was the first Gnoggin video I ever watched because I came back to Pokemon during the press cycle and build up to SwSh
"It could never fly"
Me looking at my doduo/dodrio that I use to fly around on: "hah, as if arms or wings mattered for flight"
I think a really cool idea would be Variants of the fossils, none Rock-Type from the resurrection process, but their forms
22:49
Ah, yes. As someone who plays way too much Deep Rock Galactic, I am familiar with these funny little guys.
Hearing Lockstin mispronounce Anomolocaris gives me life in a way I didn't realize I was lacking. (Pronounced An-om-o-lo-care-iss btw)
12:41 "conservative estimates, so based more on feelings." I laughed so hard at that.
12:12 12:18
Can’t wait to be THAT Guy.
Fun fossil turtle fact! We have no idea where they come from :3
Turtles kinda just, show up, in the late Permian. We have hypothesized ancestors like Eunotosaurus, but no transitional stages to solidify any relationships, so a they are pretty big on the "paleontology bucket list"
"Back when the save icon was a physical thing..." Oof 😂
1:45:34 Lockstin, trust me when I say Paleontology is one of the most combative fields of science there is! 👀
Side note: I always wished that we could get the Galar fossil Pokémon correctly arranged.
still dream for the day, we get a ghost-type raptor fossil or a fire-type stegosaur
also, being someone from Greenland i seriously love Aurorus, northern are just as byotiful, heck, more so when watching them real life
northern lights was seen as the spirits traveling, and if you whistled to it, they would grab/detach your head and use it as a "football", it was a common dare you did as a child
