เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 14 พ.ค. 2021
Are you a rock hounder at heart? Maybe you like fossil hunting? Have you ever struggled to identify your finds because you don't know the language of the geologist? Are you new to the hobby? This is a fun and easy, interactive way to learn about the natural world around you. We hope to give you the tools you need to identify rocks, minerals, vertebrate fossils, invertebrate fossils, plant fossils, and trace fossils, along with sedimentary structures and definitions of the terms that professionals use. By the end, you'll be able to impress all your friends with your rock solid knowledge!

Not all mass extinctions are created equal. The second largest mass extinction event happened between the Ordovician and Silurian Periods. What caused it?

Ever seen a brachiopod before? They are not very common now but back in the Paleozoic they were EVERYWHERE! Want a longer form video? Let me know in the comments!

When A Mammal Guy Found the Largest Dinosaur Ever
We need more geological paleontology channels like this
thanks! A lot of paleontologists go the biology route but I prefer rocks so I went the geology route.
Nice
At first I thought about the Krakatau eruption but that was 1883. Wikipedia to the rescue: 1815 Tambora, Sumbawa, Indonesia, VEI 7; most recent eruption with VEI 7, at least 10,000 direct deaths and at least 50,000 indirect deaths. Largest and deadliest volcanic eruption in modern history, largest volcanic eruption in 25,000 years. The following year (1816) was a Year Without Summer.
C?
correct!
@ woo!
Eh. They had their time.
Is that croissant shape at 0:45 a defence mechanism, or to help anchor them in mud against current?
I thought it was the mountain Artesonraju located in the Andes of Peru.
If only. I'd love to go to Peru. My dad lived there for two years and talks about it all the time.
I am personally a fan of the oxygen theory, it just makes sense to me
Oh wow! Imagine putting that stuff in your eyes.🤦 I'm gonna hesitate next time i put my eyeliner on. 👀
Thankfully, modern eyeliner is made of different stuff. 😂
Would a euripturid taste like shrimp?
I don't know. What I do know is that I would probably be allergic to it and wouldn't be able to find out. 😅
Please speak clearly.
I'm pretty sure this is not a legit trailer, but a fan-made one. The dialogue sounds like it was generated by A.I.
It is very possible I was sent a fan video. I hope desperately so.
Torvosaurus
Cool, thank you for your time!
You're welcome! Glad you enjoyed it!
Either the ones in US or Vene<uela 😆
It's actually the one in Soutlth Africa! The Barberton Mountains are 1.8 billion years old, I believe?

Alfred Wegener!
Fascinating!
Thank you for such a simple explanation 🙏.
You're welcome! Glad it was helpful!
I'm sorry, only one thing comes to mind -- kitty!
I am so sick and tired of these sociopathic scientists plastering a dead cat everywhere I look. Can we fucking stop with the pictures. You're a freak for putting that as a thumbnail
So cool
Wow that is so amazing
Very Cool!!
Mummy Of A Juvenile. Great band name
Tell us about Galina or silver lead ore.
On it!
I also find rocks interesting. ❤ My wish would be to own a large meteorite.
:D we love our funny lizard rocks real talk tho these creatures look so cool! Like, for one, aside from the fact that people were able to piece together a whole creature from fossils like that first one is mindblowing, but also all these traits about it? it's really inspiring anyways I wanna keep one of those as a dog
B?
It has such a haunting, almost ghostly shade. I love it.
✋️science mommy🤚 😫
can you not?
Well i just answered my own question, go Cambrian period! 🤣
Very cool! Any videos on the Cambrian period coming up?
Not this month. I have a whole playlist from last month dedicated to it.
@@mineralsrocksandfossiltalks I did see that after I commented on here. Haha
So it looks like an amphibian, it has the lungs of an amphibian, has bones like an amphibian, muscle structure like an amphibian? Well done, looks like we found a fossilized amphibian
I have a longer video that explains it more. It is a fish with transitional elements that are more amphibian than fish.
@@mineralsrocksandfossiltalks what fish biology is present?
@13J460 it has fins. Not legs. Gills. Short ribs. The pectoral girdle is still attached to the skull. The pelvic girdle is still unattached from the spine.
Incredible explained! Great job
Awesome video for diamond lovers, thanks for the video🙏🙏
❤❤😮😮Amazing I love it. Thank you
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
Deleting comments is crazy 😮

Glad to help! Utah has beautiful geology!

Torvosaurus diplodocus saurophaganx allosaurus ceratosaurus dryosaurus and diplodocus
It appears that Carl Linnaeus might be the type specimen for Homo sapiens, as he described the species, and he was the most studied specimen by the describer (himself). Both the story that Cope tried to be designated the lectotype for Homo sapiens and that he suffered from syphilis may be false (when his remains were studied, it appeared that he suffered from abscessed teeth, but not syphilis). Incidentally, being a "typical" specimen or lacking pathology is not a requirement for type specimens, at least in extant species.
I could accept Linnaeus as the type specimen haha. It is possible there were some false claims on Cope. He and Marsh had a lot of not-so-true things said about them (often by the other) so I wouldn't be surprised if the syphilis was one of them. I also did not know that about extant species but that explains a lot.
Does paleontology ever do lectotypes (choosing a representative specimen versus the holotype being the first or most complete specimen)?
I haven't been keeping up with a lot of Sauropod updates and/or discoveries lately, so where does Argentinosaurus stand in terms of "largest Sauropod ever"? Does it still hold that title, or has it been dethroned? If the latter, how far behind is it (second place, third place, etc.)?
