  • I'm finally back after such a long break. I've been really busy and I try to make these vids when I can. In this video I discuss a few almost-mythical prehistoric fish that actually existed in Earth's past. I discuss a few famous ones like Megalodon and Heliocoprion to a few obscure ones like the giant fish of the Kem Kem which where the food of Spinosaurus. Hope you enjoy!

    *Major Correction: In the video I refer to the Kem Kem Formation as the location of Stromer's giant fish and dinosaur fossils; however, I mixed up the Kem Kem Formation with the Bahariya Formation. I actually meant to say the Bahariya Formation. The two formations are dated to basically the same time period, had very similar fauna, and were close to each other geographically, but nonetheless they are two different formations and I made a mistake.

    Finally, someone has said what I have always thought. I was always annoyed at the idea of megalodon just being a giant supper sized great white. It just baffled me that people thought something so boring was cool. It is far more interesting to me to ponder the idea of a gigantic shark with a living ecosystem on its back and possibly an appearance that was different from any other shark today. Maybe it is just me, but this shark is way more exciting to me now.

      The fossil Pokémon have always been really original, and they sometimes make references that are for paleontological nerds only. In fact I think that part of the anomalocaris fame is due to the Pokémon anorith. I wish that they made the fossil Pokémon using much more unpopular creatures like the did in gen 3.

    I doubt that Megalodon would have carried much of an ecosystem. Most sharks have scales with a special texture that makes it very difficult for organisms which create parasitic drag to take hold which is part of the reason sharks are so successful​.

      @Mockturtlesoup1 6 лет назад +33

      yea, I don't see why it would be any different than a whale shark, or basking shark, or even a great white. especially the idea of barnacles(which, somewhat ironically, the sole example he used of barnacles-like animals on sharks was of a very small shark, not a super-massive one.)

      @@Mockturtlesoup1 Megalodons most likely did not have barnacles simply because of the fact their skin is covered in microscopic teeth-like scales. This helps sharks move more effortlessly through the ocean, protects their skin from bites, and wards off these parasitic/commensualistic organisms

      @@ashprice1123 No idea why they believe they had shorter snouts (soft tissue very very rarely fossilizes, and majority of sharks are soft tissue &/or calcified cartilage), but megalodon, like great whites & other large sharks that have smaller fish following them, more than likely didn't eat small follower fish. They're hard to catch, don't provide much energy & you can see by their size & tooth design (broad teeth with many serrations), they are designed for subduing and eating large mammals such as whales. Smaller sharks with more pointy teeth such as sand tiger sharks are designed for eating fish (but with many requiem sharks, you can see they are very successful generalist predators because they have both pointy and broad/serrated teeth)

    Interesting fact: the specimen that finally cracked the Helicoprion mystery was actually not a new discovery, the fossil had been sitting in the museum's basement for over 60 years! Traces of cartilage had been found in the specimen during the 50's, which is how scientists knew the whorl was somewhere on the bottom jaw, but it wasn't until 2013 that a new research team used modern CT scanning and 3D rendering to put it all together and accurately see what the whole jaw looked like.
    I recommend the book "Resurrecting the Shark" by Susan Ewing, it's a great read about the mystery of Helicoprion

    Love your videos man! Keep it up, and as far as frequency.... Well shit life happens and honestly the RUclips channel hustle is starting to have diminishing returns as far as making a living is concerned, so I don't expect you to churn out weekly content. I'm just happy whenever a video comes out

Imagine using a underwater drone and drifting past giants like mawsonia and bawitius. Talking a walk along the banks and seeing some of these creatures near the bank.

    I was actually talking to my science teacher once about how I thought that it was stupid how almost every art piece of Megalodon looked more great white-like than I thought it should. And she responded by saying that that is what paleontologists do (use comparisons with living animals to do reconstruct extinct ones). So we kept on arguing for a little bit longer(I thought that there should still be more diverse reconstructions since Megalodon is not a true great white, and I thought that this was just unhealthy science to only restore Megalodon in one unconfirmed, close-minded manner), and then she did concede that it was a little bit lazy. Glad you could show me some unique Megalodon reconstructions, and this is just a great video in general! Glad to see you once again.

    I'm honestly terrified of the ocean but weirdly fascinated by it. I've drawn a few scenes that have mythical sea creatures with my most recent picture being a Kraken reading a book and drinking something from a mug. What I like about creating these pictures is putting alien creatures in there. I've drawn large whale like beings, weird looking fish, ray like creatures, eel like creatures and invertebrates. I've taken a few pages from how Subnautica went about their designs as well as Star wars. Not sure if these animals would be possible but they are still fun to draw.

      I looked this up. There are about six major ways that this is getting pronounced: Wikipedia gives /ˈbɪʃɪər/ (bye-sh-ear). RUclips has over six others, none of which matches Wikipedia: bih-sheer; bih-sher; bit-chur; bee-chair; bye-chair; bih-keer, bih-care; bih-cheer; bee-sheer.

      Very confusing. I will assume that Wikipedia's phonetic guide might be relied on with more weight: /ˈbɪʃɪər/ (bye-sh-ear or bye-sheer). Hope this helps. B'H.
