Dinosaurs of the Mountains 

Is the book 'Ankylosaurus and other mountain dinosaurs'?

When I was kid, every time our family went for a hike in mountains, I would imagine what dinosaurs I could encounter there. I had really vivid imagination, so I drew bunch of dinosaurs I ,,saw" on our hikes. Most of them were based on Walking with dinosaurs, which i used to watch all the time. Dome-headed dinosaurs were the Big horn sheep of the Mezozoic to me. I imagined Leaellynasaura roaming the spruce forests, looking for food while avoiding the mountain raptors. There were also relatives of Polacanthus and dwarf sauropods. Apex predator of this made up world was mountain Allosaurus, but it stayed in the mountains only during Summer. This video unlocked some very old memories for me.

It’s bizarre to think that Scottish people evolved from these dinosaurs. Truly inspiring.

One interesting idea I have heard was the possibility that Brachiosaurus specialized in higher elevations. Which helps explain why they're so exceptionally rare to fossilize compared to the many other Morrison sauropods.

BABE THERE'S A NEW BUDGET MUSEUM VIDEO

Some times, over time, publishers have been known to re-title books. Here are three possibilities for you to consider: 1. Ankylosaurus and Other Mountain Dinosaurs 2. Dinosaur Mountain: Digging into the Jurassic Age 3. Dinosaur Mountain: Graveyard of The Past Trying to recapture a lost or missing part of a childhood memory is the worst. I hope this helps.

There's something soul crushing knowing countless species will never be discovered because of the set requirements of fossilization, There's just no feasible way to catalog every prehistoric fauna and that hurts my heart

That muscleman "you know who else" caught me so off guard 🤣 thank you for another fascinating video

There's really something unique about your channel, both the subjects and your style of videos. I especially enjoyed the prehistoric bug bonanza vid, very informative and it always cracks me up

There is also 2 possibilities for lack of fossil of mountainous dinos: First is we could already have the remains and not be aware they're from mountain dwelling dinosaurs. Most fossils are fragmentary, and bones can move pretty far from original place of death through water movement, gravity, even other animals moving the remains. We could say have a mountain living dinosaur fully described but because it's body was found in river deposits have no idea that it came from a mountain dwelling species. Second slightly ties into first is maybe mountain dinosaurs weren't living full time in mountains, would imagine mountains would be a difficult place to lay eggs and build nests in unless special adaptations are had (like the borrowing dinos) so it could be they came down to plains or relatively flat areas to lay eggs, fossil remains were found down there and general assumption was made they were plain living dinosaurs when really they were migrants.

Your channel just feeds the prehistoric era of my childhood

im studying a double degree of geology and environmental biology. i was questioning continuing with the biology as im less passionate about it. Your videos fill me with a new excitement to study biology and potentially paleo one day!

I've never ask myself before about mountains dinosaurs and frankly didn't care either, but now I'm really glad I learned something today. Thank you so much !

"Looking like a Parrot crossed with a Streetlamp" had me Dying XD

My worst fear is living on a mountain with goats and Scottish people.

This is something I’ve been curious about myself. I was wondering how we’d know we found evidence of mountains in the fossil record. It’s very melancholic knowing that some species are going to be lost to time forever.

I never really thought of mountain dinosaurs…

There is a mountain in my home town that has a section of land that looks like a T-rex skull in the winter. Naturally, I thought T-rexes were as big as that mountain. I was sorely disappointed.

Return of the king. You dropped this, budget museum-> 👑

where i grew up in fruita colorado. there is an abundance of fossils in the mountains and the surrounding valleys, from whole dinosaur fossils to aquatic fossils you can find all over. Its at the confluence of the colorado and gunnison rivers at the far western edge of the state next to utah.

This is awesome! I knew Idaho had a lot of fossil records, but I’d never heard of some of these, nor the Wayan Formation. Thank you!

Dude your videos provide a therapeutic level of happiness for me

There was a old book from the 60's in my grandma vacation house when i was a child - i use to look at it for hours during the night. Those vintage illustrations capture something special in my brain and i think they help me develop my imagination ( & my love for realistic/plausible world building in fiction ) during the first decade of my life... Nice video my dude.

Lovely little vid, that also makes me wonder about which dinosaurs lived in mountain environments. 1. It reminds me of how pacvhycephalosaurs were depicted living in mountains, because of rarity and bring like goats. 2. Other fossil formations with known uplands are: Sanpetru, of the Retezat mountains Two Medicine Formation

Oooh, a new upload. I’m confident this will be a banger, you always make such great videos

I'm glad I found your channel. It's unique. Informative and fun. I also love that your voice helps with the ambiance. I see myself expecting videos and getting all excited to know more about dinos. Thanks for the hard work. ❤

this is so cool! i always thought that it was basically impossible to find fossils in the appalachains b/c the sediment layer thats exposed right now is "older than bones" i never knew there was anything on my side of the country! i havr to look into this! :)

There's also presevation bias in jungle envirnoment, that's why we know so little about primate and even to some extent human evolution.

This was a great video, but I think that it would have been very cool to talk about the yixian formation in china, which had very good preservation and was probably only 50 degrees, probably because of a high altitude

Love the Raptor Red picture! Loved that book as a child!

I’ve been weirdly obsessed with these vids

Fascinating. Entertaining. Educational. Well done, once again!!!

Excellent video! I’m slowly rekindling my interest in dino’s and I’m real happy I found your channel

Don’t forget the Blackleaf Fm of southwest MT! The Vaughn Member is contemporaneous with the Wayan and it’s fossil assemblage is almost identical, though the Vaughn is slightly lower on the alluvial plain than the Wayan. A lot of research and attention has been put into the Blackleaf Fm recently at Montana State University, so stay tuned later this year as there are a few new discoveries that will hopefully be published by then…🤫

I love this kind of content 😍

I didn't know about the Newark Supergroup until now, I live about an hour from Turner Falls so I might have to make a trip out there one day

its a great day when tbm posts!

As far as I'm concerned, your voice is not monotonous at all. I understand your comment is probably self-deprecation, as 'monotony' (which is highly subjective) is generally considered undesirable. Voices that do not get in the way of the content, the info they are conveying, to me are perfect. No having to spend energy and mental bandwidth to 'fight' through voices that are loud, unnaturally upbeat, or just in-your-face, is a relief and an absolute delight. I 'see' the content creator just as well, or maybe even better, when the voice overs are not obnoxious.

that mountain joke at the end was adorablely hilarious !

You should totally make a video about deep sea fauna.

Great Dino video!!!

Another excellent budget video

Thanks for the video, recently i was thinking about what dinosaurs lived in mountains like many modern dinosaurs!

I've always wondered what kinds of dinosaurs coulthrive in a cloud forest biome.

I had that ENTIRE magazine collection back when I was a child

Newark truly is a nightmare.

Bro these videos are always so good, I try and watch them to go to sleep but end up watching them till like 2:00 am

Next time you're not sure what a scientific paper says try to contact the author! They'll almost always be glad to talk to you about their work

Anytime I think about all the fossils, plant and animal alike, that were lost to time or never had a chance to form in the first place, I'm legitimately sad. So much life on this planet we have no idea about, and will remain a mystery forever Pour one out for all the homies who never got fossilized.

Finally some good Idaho representation

Interesting to know. Exciting if one does find them.

0:31 Hey, that monotone faceless voice has gotten me through many existential crises as I dread mass extinction events and sudden cosmic catastrophe.

I love Big Man Tan. Such a kind gentleman!

Thumbnailmlooked like the place I grew up and that's why I clicked. Western Montana

I never realized that there were mountain 🦖🦕. Thanks for this excellent video.

great video, reminds me of the footprints at dinosaurs ridge here in CO 🦕

could you maybe do a video on the revisited theory that the asteroid wasn't the thing that killed the dinos, but rather multiple catastrophic events, especially volcanic eruptions? There are so many evidence! I'd love to hear your thoughts on it and gathered infos :DD

Lake Tahoe minus... LMAO Exactly why I love this channel, informative, interesting, and hilarious. Monotone aside, great video!

It feels like it was yesterday when the mountaintops were teeming with goats, dinos and scottish people

I loved Dinosaurs! Magazine. Even after they jumped the shark and started including other prehistoric animals towards the end of the run

A banger as always

This actually got me thinking about other places that dinosaurs lived in such as caves but i don't know if there were many considering even mammals have not really conquered caves except for bats

Paleontology has always interested me and I've started to pursue that interest. Is there any recomended journal or paper, or even online subscription to further my knowloege on the subject, both its past discoveries and present ones?

oooo i know about oryctodromeus!! learned about it after first seeing Beasts of Bermuda's rendition of it!

Living in Idaho and seemingly having all the cool finds happen In states around us I clicked on this vid to see if there was a chance of maybe one being here and damn I was surprised.

Tyrannosaurus wearing kilts

That is Wyoming.. Not Colorado.. 7:10. Love your videos!

This is a lil tooo well done for the name budget museum. Love to see to progression 👏🏻🤌🏻

Cool presentation. I have to say, your way of talking sounds so similar to RU-vidr Vagrant Holiday. I mean that as a compliment. I could listen to that guy ramble on for hours. I never thought about dinos hopping around mountains except for the Pterosaurs before.

My girlfriend and I discovered your channel a few weeks ago and we love watching your videos. Keep up the great work!

Fav channel , idk if that’s a good or bad thing

Man! My parents and I went to mount Putnam (biggest mountain in blackfoot ID) to get wood and as we were driving up on a hill, we found a rock that turned out to be a fossil of a giant bird. We had no way of getting a 20 foot piece of rock off the mountain so we left it. My dad and I went back up a few years later and found the rock demolished. See a road crew decided to bust it down in order to make way for a bigger road.

I also had a dinosaur book that fell off the face of the earth. It was from the late 80s or early 90s and was a kids book with a find it premise similar to wheres waldo but it was a baby looking for its mom or vise versa with many tiny dinos per page. I also remember a lot of teal and purple colors

I love this channel

7:10 that’s Wyoming bruh! Don’t forget about us 😢

Very cool

In the books I saw as a child, the dinosaurs of the plains and swamps always had stratospherically high volcanoes erupting in the background. Wouldn't that make the dinosaurs of the flat lands also dinosaurs of the mountains?

Your videos are so gangster.

Newark, by us who live there, is not pronounced "NEW ark," but "NEW ick," for reasons that shall remain undiscussed here.

I thought you'd talk about mountains existing BACK THEN. xD

Hey man love this stuff but it’s hella bright like I know it’s a knickpick but if you lower the brightness of your uploads it’s be great

When you said the second mountain (I can’t spell it) I look right at that exact moment and see them

Greetings from Vanished World Trail, Duntroon.

0:05 My first dinosaur book and I'm not kidding is called "My First Dinosaur Book"

13:38 the most emotion I've ever heard out of him

Enjoyed 🤗

Why are u so relatable

I wonder if some mountain dinosaurs develpoded hoofs to climb better

Babe wake up budget museum just dropped another video

Could be some dinosaurs did lived on mountains, but those mountains don't exist anymore? After all natural phenomena such as erosion might have changed the morphology of most habitats to the point is unrecognizable of what it used to be.

this video gave me flashbacks of giga encounters on ARK in The Island map

Not sure how you went back in time to get a young David Duchovny to do your voiceovers, but excellent choice

Robert’s microphone is also prehistoric

I remember seeing a super-realistic like a photo of a theropod dinosaur in a book when I was like 4 years old. Now I cannot find this image anywhere but I remember that one image with theropod dinosaur like Allosaurus or Carnotaurus standing on a hill and there was a blue sky and some kinda trees

holy shit i had that dinosaur magazine with the 3d glasses lol!

Just a small correction, I love the Green River formation but it's actually from the Eocene which was 15 million years after the dinosaurs went extinct. However, there are a lot of preserved birds there so I think those can count as mountain 'dinosaurs.'

Close your eyes and picture Mulder narrating this video

I saw someone on reddit claim that the Jehol biota was also a mountain environment. I am not sure if that's true or absolute nonsense, tho. Good video. Pls consider making a spiritual sequel about rainforest dinosaurs! :B

I’ve lived in Idaho my whole life and I’ve never heard of this formation. HOW.

1:45 you also use kirkland brand water? Mad respect man
