    Oops, sorry about all the weird dog grooming and maintenance tools. We were moving and I guess someone thought that box was I tended for the move. I guess they’ll be useful if you either get a dog or any of the toys come to life and you need to walk them or otherwise keep their claws or feathers in shape.

    New Zealand is pretty old. It’s not a volcanic island like Iceland, but it’s a vestige of a much larger landmass that broke away from Gondwana around 80 million years ago. During the last glacial maximum this landmass we call Zealandia was fairly large. Today there’s a remnant of it in the fact there’s a ton of continental shelf surrounding New Zealand.

    Because no one else seems to be helping and now I can FINALLY put all this research I've amassed to good use, New Zealand has existed since at least the Cambrian, when it had presumably unnamed trilobites and a shelled animal called Tuarangia. They also have many animals from the Devonian and Cretaceous, and the possible largest ichthyosaur, Hector's ichthyosaur, from I believe the Triassic.

    • @trilobite3120
      @trilobite3120 Год назад +6

      I think the trilobites are of previously named genera, and yes, there is a fair amount of Devonian fauna such as crinoids, Reeftonella, Mauispirifer and Lunaspis, which I appreciate as a Devonian fan. Didn't know about Tuarangia though.

    Pence = cents. It's short for "pennies" instead of "percent of one unit of currency", because Britain used to use that system where a penny was 1/12 of a shilling and there were 20 shillings to the pound (until they went decimal in 1971.)

    New Zealand is part of a sunken continent that would have been above sea level in the age of dinosaurs. It sank completely beneath the waves except for a few small islands in the intervening millennia but is actually in the process of rising again due to it's direction of drift reversing. There is actually some minor and controversial evidence that dinosaurs actually survived the KP extinction on this continent for a while.
