    ‘Mummified’ feels like an understatement; it’s like it was petrified. Just perfectly turned to stone.

      Under what conditions did it mummify? I did read of similar mummified skin from a duck-billed dino. And what about the soft tissues found in accidently over-acidified matrix removals? I heard they'd even found blood corposals.

Atleast they know what my favorite actually looked like, what color it was, and the specific types of vegetation it preferred. T-rex and velociraptor can't say the same.

    Would Ice Age mammals (or any modern mammal) be able to survive the Mesozoic atmosphere which had different levels of O2/CO2 ?

    • @mhdfrb9971
      @mhdfrb9971 4 месяца назад +7

      Here are a few comparisons.
      Living during the Triassic at sea level would be the same as living in Mexico city, the sixth largest city in the world by metropolitan area, ignoring smog and lower pressure or not during high vulcanic activity.
      During the Jurassic the air was similar to today.
      In terms of oxygen level during the cretacious the air would be like 60m diving equipment.
      The higher CO2 levels during certain periods are around the same height as health organizations recommend to start ventilating.
      So if you want to simulate the Triassic, go into a badly ventilated room or move to Mexico city.
      If you want to experience the Jurassic, go outside.
      If you want to experience the Cretacious test 60m diving equipment at sea level.

      Mammals also evolved in their modern form during the Mesozoic, so it’s reasonable to assume that atmospheric conditions were conducive to mammals as well as the dominant sauropsids.
      The very earliest Triassic might have been a bit tricky but only because conditions were not optimal for _any_ larger animals. Or any life, actually, other than extremophiles and Cyanobacteria. But that was more because of the devastating heat and lack of food, as opposed to CO2/O2 balance.

    I think Ice Age Mammals could live in Antarctica or Australia in the Late Cretaceous since those regions were a lot more what they're used to.
    They were more like reverse rainforest in a way...
    With a hot and wet season but also a cold and dry season.
    I think the Megasloth and Smilidon would do well pretty much everywhere compared to the rest since they were already used to similar temperatures. Granted, the Smilidon won't be the APEX Predator anymore, but they'll still be a top medium-sized Predator.
    The Megasloth could probably fill the role similar to Therizinosaurus or Suzhousaurus

    In the olden days they would have just kept going for the sake of production
    But in modern times good public relations is good for something that some people are against, in this case the oil sands.

      The energy production industry works closely with the paleo community because fossils are used to identify productive formations. :)
      Even the most greedy corporations and even private mining companies will allow paleontologists to sweep a proposed extraction site, before destroying it.
      I lived close to a little privately-owned gravel quarry that was in a particularly rich Triassic mudstone formation. They had teams come down from the university to clean out as many Triassic fossils as reasonably possible .
      The paleo teams were hampered mainly by lack of manpower to get the work done in the allotted time. There were basically 2-3 people who could work at the site and only in summertime.
      The moral of this story is, if you like fossils, contact your nearest universities and see whether they’re asking for volunteers to help with this kind of project.

Also, considering that soft tissue was preserved that shouldn't last millions of years this further confirms the Bible's history of a young earth.
