What an amazing find this makes me think of the "fighting dinosaurs" the Velociraptor and Protoceratops fighting each other and the "dueling dinosaurs" a Trex and Triceratops fossil that are both nearly complete and are basically intertwined with one another.
@@t-r-e-x452 absolutely. They must have been such strong willed animals to not run in the face of death even hippos and elephants usually flee after taking serious injury as they dont want to die... Ceratopsians have that "ill take you down with me" attitude
will we get a mammals vs Jurassic ep? also my favorite discovery of the year is repenomamus hunting the Psittacosaurus which proves mammals were not just scavengers and insectivores during the mesozoic
If you ever watched the Mink man RU-vid channel. Hyperactive wriggly aggressive mammals are just fun to watch. Repenonmamus are looking more like modern mustelids. The fossil animal was using the flexibility of the lower spine to its advantage. Folded into a S bend. Biting ribs. Remembered of another RU-vid video of an Otter ripping into alive snapping turtle, eating it alive.
Alligator Munensis is my favorite for July because any new crocodylomorphs found recently makes me happy. its also the reason that I'm peed that Paleo Analysis in taking forever with his one for April because that's the month when Dentaneosuchus was found.
Fr. Triassic is underrated, it's like if you brought the weirdness and uniqueness of the Cambrian, and made them all bigger as well as being able to go on land and water
Spinosaurus is ever still changing t. Rex isn’t the biggest, but they don’t realize what they mean by that the prehistoric pass is a beautiful and mysterious place to swim, and I don’t know what else to say 🎶
Tyrannosaurus is the biggest the largest Spinosaurus was 7.6 tonnes Scotty was 8.8 tonnes oh and they’ve found 2 new Rex’s even bigger Cope and Bertha weighing nearly 11 tonnes. Tyrannosaurus was a tank Spinosaurus was very slender
@@stephengiles1356 Should probably specify predatory dinosaur otherwise Trex isn't even in the top 50... Also 8.8 tonnes for Scotty is too light. Vividen has a video on it. In this video he explains paleontologists have been grossly underestimating the mass of theropods. Using Larramendis formula they have increased mass estimates, the current estimates for Scotty is 10.4 tonnes and Sue is 9.9 tonnes. (Copium Rex is about 11.5 tonnes) Note this size increase affects all theropod dinosaurs of similar builds. Spinosaurus specimen MSNM v 4047 was estimated at 6876kgs and is now estimated at 7508 kgs. Giganotosaurus holotype Mucpv-Ch1 specimen was estimated at 6.8 tonnes and is now estimated at 7.6 tonnes or 7600kgs. The fragmentary specimen is estimated at about 9 to 10 tonnes.
Lmao. Paleontology is and always will be a science where we are always searching for more. A lot of the evidence of earths past is long gone. T.rex is absolutely the largest theropod known definitively, its mass estimates exceed current estimates of contenders like giganotosaurus and spinosaurus. That being said, it is almost certain that there have been theropods that existed in the past that were larger than T.rex. Maybe their fossils are gone forever, maybe we just need to find larger fossils of already documented species, but still if I’m a betting man I’d wager we haven’t truly found the largest theropod that ever existed just yet. I hope we do someday.
i can´t remember in which documentary i´ve seen it some years ago, but back then it was depicted that Anomalocaris allegedly used his two tentacle-like appendages to grab pray like Trilobites and to deliver them to its round mouth. and there he would´ve used teeth-like bodyparts to "bite" and crack open the shell of the Trilobites while still grabbing onto them with his appendages.
The Therapsids used to be part of the group we called the "mammal like reptiles," though these are synapids wheras reptiles are diapsids. It's probably better to call them "reptile like" rather than "mammal like," since modern reptiles retain a lot of a features of more basal amniotes. Anyway, I think the current term "stem mammal" is much more fitting. I really do wish the Gorgonopsids were still around.
