    Thanks for providing links to papers and publications in your videos, I have enjoyed diving down various rabbit holes this year

    Great vid! Thanks for including our little herrerasaur in your review. We're constantly visiting the site where it was found in the hope we find a more complete specimen. Happy new year!

      Awesome! I love the Triassic, and really think a lot of the new fossils coming from South America could be useful for understanding the origins and taxonomy of the ornithodires, so good to hear you're looking for more!

    This might be an error in the paper (I at least currently don't want to verify), BUT it's bizarre that you're saying "moa likely appeared 5 million years ago" when there are literally leg bones and eggshells from them (the consensus, when I last checked, was at least 2 genera) from rocks that are 16-19 million years old! BUT I might know where you got that idea from: according to the book Moa: The Life and Death of New Zealand's Legendary Bird, when the Australian plate made contact with Zealandia's a few million years ago, the more diverse landscapes it created allowed for moa to become far more diverse, so what you said is kind of true when you mean "the 9 or so genera that were alive during historical times"!

      I think that was the mistake that happened. I had used the genetic data as their approximate arrival time, my mistake.

    I hope they can polish up the opalized plesiosaur without damaging the bones, that'd make one heck of a museum display!

      @@Kelpie-sb5bi Polishing opal allows it to reflect more light, and thus show off all of its colors. That's why they're so prized as gemstones.

      @@JohnSharpe-pu3nz It has far more value as an unaltered opal fossil than it would have as a polished opal, i hope people like you don’t get your hands on fossils like this since you would just destroy them for ”aesthetics”.

    • @JohnSharpe-pu3nz
      @JohnSharpe-pu3nz Год назад

      @@Kelpie-sb5bi I would say the "people like you" remark is uncalled for, and to call polishing "destruction" is a bit of an exaggeration when I clearly expressed a desire that the fossil not be damaged in the process. That's like saying you're "destroying" a fossil by chipping it from the stone you found it in.

    @paddyodriscoll8648 Год назад

    Having wide side toe tracks in birds is generally linked to their tail reduction, but, if a theropod doesn’t use its tail to counterbalance as much as a standard theropod, and/or its weight might be more distributed like more derived smaller theropods, you should get a similar spread,,,,

    Javelina and pigs are artiodactyls and tapirs are perissodactyls so are more closely related to rhinos and horses

    New Zealand is an archipelago, not an island. There are two big islands and a few much smaller ones.

    • @RaptorChatter
      @RaptorChatter  Год назад +1

      During the ice ages there would have been a land bridge connecting the two main islands, so while yes it is more of an archipelago it was mostly one land mass when the moas would have arrived. I could have been more clear on that though.

    No data on Meg yet. My "friends in high places" laugh at my frustration and impatience. "Throw me a bone!" I scream. "Titanium or marrow?" they laugh because I have a few titanium bones. I keep calling them "adamantium bones". I may live long enough to see that data
    stream. My friends actually have holographic live feed from ROVs. Still it comes down to a beloved rock hammer. We have a deep rift between Long Beach and Catalina Island and yes, it houses...(knock on door, who's there, Men in Black they laugh). Life on Earth. See it out of time. See it in your mind. You have all of the data you need now is time to abandon the rules of time so that you can literally see the ecosystem. Does wonderful mean "fool of wonder"? oops, miss pelling to see me. Full O' Wonder. Dude, you see in ecosystems not just bits. Bits are fine. Paleoz Gotta Dig. Pretentiously hip, I admit to nothing. When your hands are in the dirt you are "feeling their world" - corny and true. Think of time as somebody else's idea and the world that you intuit is in your hands. Physical reality is a representation, like a teleplay. The Dino Story is celebrated throughout the galaxy, mostly by their descendants with their fancy tech...grrr...
