I don't know but this shit is why people don't watch "cable" style history or science anymore. All of the high quality educational content creation on RU-vid has been an actual GAME changer. From WSU with Brian greene, to crashcourse, to the PBS Spacetime and Eons channels, even veritasium and vsauce style video essays. It simply blows everything discovery and history have ever been a part of completely out of the water.
If you ever come to Glen Rose to see the tracks, come at a time when we haven't had rain for a while . When the Paluxy River start running clear, you can look down and see dinosaur tracks running all over the river bottom just like chicken tracks. They were first found in the 1800s by a rancher.
Rock dating this far back is usually +/- 2 million years. For decades, dating this far back is fairly accurate +/- 2,000,000 years! Before you make negative connotations about dating, do your research!
@@dmhq-administration You are correct, they are fish. Alligators and crocodiles are dinosaurs, closest to it. But as a fish goes, they are right in the family genus. They're good to eat. 😀. Howdy from Houston Texas 🇨🇱
Paleontologist: These tracks are 100,000,000 years and 2 weeks old. Reporter: How can you so accurately date these tracks? Paleontologist: Well, we dated them to be 100,000,000 years old and we found them 2 weeks ago.
It absolutely blows my mind every time I think about how an entire worlds worth of dinosaurs were eradicated before our dumb asses came along. I can’t even imagine the cataclysmic proportions required to make an entire worlds animals extinct. It could just as easily happen to us.
@@julieschoolcraft1503I don’t think so man. It was an asteroid strike with the size of Texas and sent the world into chaos and also created another ice age, or so they say.
So, in this great flood... Where did all the carcasses end up and why haven't we found the mass graves yet? Are they all in Antarctica perhaps? I'm asking for a friend 😉
@@ally6526 I have no clue about a great flood, but there is scientific evidence of a massive asteroid the size of Texas hitting the earth. They say that killed off all the dinosaurs. As for the carcasses, they obviously rotted away and dissolved dummy. Some were obviously fossilized, but bodies rot away and disappear after a short period of time.
That's what I was thinking. We're living in the age of the largest creature that ever lived, and it's in the ocean, but these things carry that huge weight around on land. And they're herbivorous. Amazing.
@@peteskipeteski4464 I don't know if there is a God or not. But I do know that evolution is an established fact with mountains of undeniable evidence. That evidence disproves the bronze-age magic nonsense in the bible starting on pg #1.
Why not measure the geology by the tracks. Not much erosion so they can't be that old. They measure layers by the fossils then measure the fossils by the layers. They make it up as they go.
This occurred during the flood as animals were trying to flee the rising water. They find similar prints in the layers above coal mines as the animals walked on the plant matter that would become coal.
Fossilised tracks are extremely rare. Also, you can't see under the rest of the land alongside these tracks. It wasn't like there was a special dirt track for dinosaurs to walk on. Chances are however, that the single specimen happened to walk in just the right spot that allowed for its tracks to fossilise whilst the rest of its herd didn't.
the planet must have been immensely cluttered with flora in order to support these dinos. I wish I could see 100% for a fact what earth looked like then, like travel back in time to look.
If you look at the fact, alligators and the like were found in Northern Canada, as well as the ancient flora that has been found. It goes to show you at one time the earth was just like the amazon, warm and humid.
@kevincostello3856 Glen Rose, Tx. You can go to the Dinosaur Valley State Park and the Creation Evidence Museum. We went yrs ago and it was during a drought we were able to see the dino tracks in the river bed. The water smelled bad since it wasn't running but it was interesting to be there. The foot prints of the family inside the dino tracks have been cut out and stored in a museum. A little history is told how others came and started destroying prints.
Please stop antagonizing the religious. Their minds won't be changed. They're not built to accept what their eyes show them. They only believe in what they can't see.
Shuuu 🤫 don't tell the scoffers, they will call you dumb and insult you for your belief. Instead of trying to genuinely find out why we believe like we do and ask questions. It's automatic insults and hate. 🤷🏻♂️ But yes many caves have been found with depictions of dinosaurs. And the Bible even describes dinosaurs in the old testament times. I can apply both science (data);and the Bible at the same time. Atheists choose not to in my opinion. But why? Why are they afraid that both can exist coequally?
@@lloydblackband2959better than deceased joe Biden he’s on his last legs. Ofc your the one person that brings up politics in a comment section about dinosaurs. Get a life vote trump too
This is really cool to go see. And the hike to go isnt bad at all it’s even ok for kids( about 2 miles in and the trail is well kept). A day pass cost $6. This is government canyons it’s right off of Culebra and 1604 north side San Antonio, also offers other trails and camping. It’s a great time
@@LostClaw number 1 Where is all the salt in the oceans The best answers all stupid It evaporates out It sinks to the bottom of the ocean floor The best for last It gets abducted by the Earth's continents rolling over it
Found tracks in Texas after a tornado! Took pics sitting IN them. We never called anyone for it but it was a very large theropod, (we always said we found tyrannosaurus tracks)
I find it very sad for this world that the first and only two comments to appear here so far, in this video that is purely for educational purposes, is negative comments. One of them not pertaining to the situation at all, but thinks he can get uproarious laughter by bad mouthing someone that he knows, but no one else in the comments section would know. Yet that's the only one that got a reply. This is how we can prove that the world is only going to get more and more stupid
I apologize. I thought my comment wishing the evidence be presented in a form that doesn't resemble scripted reality television could only improve it. I'm sorry my comment makes you feel like that way. I apologize my calls for a better standard for science communication is being seen as making the world a more stupid place.
The conditions must have been perfect for a 100 million years for them to last this long. I mean they weren't covered by dust or dirt, nothing grew there, no water erosion etc. etc. Seems kind of immpossible.
If this is Glenrose, TX then there are human footprints right next to these dinosaur prints. We used to go there often when I was growing up. Very neat place.
There are numerous tracks below and on Mount Tom in Western Massachusetts. I saw one right up on top of the mountain which measures about thirty inches. It was right in the middle of the hiking trail near the edge of the cliff.
Using the local geology to determine anything after 100M years is not considering the rate of erosion. The local weather/ environmental factors are likely unrelated.
For all the nonbelievers, the animals weight was 60 tons ! Pressing down sediment. It likely was covered for thousands of years for erosion to uncover in our times. The creator doesn't lie. 😅
I found some dinosaurs tracks in San Antonio Texas one summer when the water was low...the 🐾 were emdeded in the rocks, alto these tracks had fingers (like chickens)...there amazing!!!
No. They could not have eaten enough to furnish their purported size. An elephant eats over half a day. A blue whale eats 18 hrs a day (eats as it swims). This thing would be eating 22 hrs a day to support its size.
Have you ever seen an elephant walking? Can you imagine this thing walking around? How did it even hold itself up? How did it breathe through that little bitty face?
These tracks are preserved in stone people! Jeepers did you not go to school? There are human prints very old as well preserved in sand that turned to Sandstone. Look it up!
Why do they always portray sauropods as so heavy they shake the Earth beneath them as they walk? If anything, they likely were exceptionally smooth in their gate to save on unnecessary stresses placed upon their joints; joints that had to last upwards of a century, some estimates being 150 years. Stomping their way across the world as shown here, well, they would've needed knee surgery for sure!
It’s so obvious that our current imagination of what the dinosaurs looked like is completely wrong. We just basically added a little fat and skin. If we do that to the human skeletons we would look so wrong lol
😂😂 you think scientists just use their imaginations 🤦🏼♀️ just cuz your 🧠 doesn't compute how they do things doesn't make it completely wrong 🤔 Did you know they recently found a mummified triceratops with remains and skin, revealing a pattern consistent with having had quills similar to a porcupine... something no one could have, would have or did imagine until they discovered a more complete specimen with the evidence to point towards it. So, are their depictions from millions of years old bone structures, fossils and found remnants always perfectly exact? OFC not 😂 U thinking they were trying to portray it as such is comical ... although based off decades of research, including using creatures alive today, albeit much tinier examples for reference - it's extremely logical to believe they are as spot on as they can be with the given evidence humans have discovered thus far. No Scientist studying dinosaurs ever said this 🦕 -dino recreation- 🦖 is exactly perfectly correct with no errors or chance of variation whatsoever 😂 You should write a strongly-worded letter to the dinosaur science department and tell them how wrong they are in their recreations and then do it better yourself 😉
So nice of you to share your expert opinion....thank you. Hey, all you paleontologists and anthropologists, geologists and others, throw your hard earned degrees in the bin, you're wrong about all you've ever studied, we have it on good authority from @sanahaskuranage8071, who knows EVERYTHING!
It's funny/annoying when the experts say it's the biggest ever. A year goes by and someone finds one bigger. Even with T-Rex we don't know how big it could have been. We have found a handful of fossils of something that was around for 1.2-3.6 million years. You'd think in that time there'd be quite a few genetic freak shows. A... Goliasaurus Rex if you will.
No actually the terrain they walked on was very hardpack and even if they were in soft terrain it wouldn’t be to hard to get out as they can lift their legs. Also the tracks could have been deeper but due to erosion they are very surface level and will most likely be gone in a few thousand years
@@hualni this is based on what? Their feet were 1x1 meter they had 4 of them. So that makes up 4 square meters of ground coverage they were about 58 metric tonnes that’s about 14 tonnes per square meter. Not to mention they could lift their feet out of muck if they wanted. I think you underestimate how much hard packed soil can support. A 14 ton 1x1 meter pole could definitely be supported without sinking we see this when big truck is loaded to capacity it can support 14 tons on even less ground coverage. Even in soft soil they would sink very slowly.
