For years Dunkleosteus has been depicted as the top predator of the Devonian seas. And although this is still technically true, there has been a change to what we believed this placederm probably looked like. What we originally thought was a 9 meter monster is probably more than likely half that size...
So I sent TimTim back to the Devonian to correct me while recording the History of the Earth: Devonian...
Special thanks to yoofilos for providing me with many of the awesome artwork of the variant Dunkleosteus! If you want to check out his Instagram, Click here!

Duncleosteus just got NERFED!!!
Homies head is the same size though, so it was basically a swimming bear trap.
Not really, its head and jaws are still the same size so its still a deadly predator.
So it got shrunk a little, big deal, it’s not like it isn’t a real species anymore
nooooooooo
Bruh hes not even playable anymore,
The fish went from dunkleosteus to chunkleosteus.
*CERTIFIED CHODE*
lol
chodeleosteus
Chubleosteus
Chomkleosteus..
honestly it being smaller with a potential increase in agility makes it even scarier for me. Like a piranha but with a guillotine for a mouth
A Robespiranha, if you will (Yes I know *exactly* how bad that pun is. Do I care? Nope XD)
I went looking for this comment!
It also means it can survive better, not being larger and more susceptible to change.
The truth is always bigger and badassier. 👍
It's crazy it went from a giant shark like animal to a 12 ft piranha from hell.
A 4 metre long piranha sounds worse than a not-shark.
@@TheSpearkan yeah that still sounds scary because it's more nimbler now
They SHRUNK the DUNK and now he’s CHUNK
this comment sparks joy
2 years later, now it's 90 meters!!! Rawr
What we really need is a well preserved fossil imprint
It also weighs 20,000 tons 😂
Holy fucking shit thats a Kaiju
That's kaiju
@@Scazoid I plugged the numbers into google and the only things coming up are a literal kaiju (fictional, obviously) and a man-made tower shaped like a puffer fish... so I think this is likely a joke?
Poor fish, got dunked on by science
That reminds me of those sauropods with ridiculous size estimates because they found a bone that was really big.
Sorry, but I am not buying it until we have a more complete picture of the species.
@@martijn9568 Agreed.
@@WyattStrange use to be so badass
@@WyattStrange well that happened just because the paleontology advisor they used for JP3 had a huge unwarranted hate boner for T-Rex. He literally made shit up for a previously largely unknown dinosaur to make it his T-Rex killing Mary Sue.
Shame no one appreciates the pun..
It is still a big fish with some big jaws, I wouldn't want to mess with it.
Right. The size of the head didnt change
...still a bone-crunching bite
@@shruggzdastr8-facedclown A *bone chopping bite. There are theories that it was able to open and shut it's jaws in far less than a blink of an eye
@@robdiesel1579if it's half as fast as I've seen some snapping turtles close their mouths, it's terrifying.
Everyone saying it got nerfed but in reality the skill is still the same size and it’s hurtbox is smaller. If anything it got buffed
I guess it would be slower and less hydrodynamic, but with a jaw like that one has to wonder how bad that actually is.
Bullet Bill Dunkleosteus. I'm here for it. It just feels right.
I propose if anyone here finds dunky fossils that "bullet bill" is its name
I concur
I second that motion!
It's so sad, but it's the truth, thanks tim tim for time travelling all the way from the great dying.
Wait, if Tim Tim can time travel, and he's been there for every extinction event... maybe he's the cause???
@@briantonkin7737 this should be classified as an official fan theory!
The evidence is starting to line up that way. 👍
@@briantonkin7737 This is going to lead to Mort from the Madagascar series, isn't it?
There can be... only... one...
Tim Tim vs Mort, celebrity deathmatch style
It's not the truth, it's a new guess basically
Dunkleosteus is one of my favorite extinct marine animals. Next to creatures like the Tully Monster
I think it's not related to deurostomates. Could it be part of a third party unexplored? It's fascinating.
dunkleosteus was my introduction to paleontology and honestly, it's kinda cute now XD
I wouldn't wanna mess with it in the open water. 😎
Yeah with These new unlocked grippers
That is not cute
Now an armoured Sunfish. :-)
Part of growing up as a paleo nerd is realizing all of your favorite animals weren’t as large and menacing as you once thought. And then loving them regardless
There’s a reason they were deemed menacing at the first place. They’re still frightening.
So is this gonna be another spinosaurus where every few years we find it looked completely different than previously thought? :D
Probably not
This study has solid evidence for it's size. There are still a lot of things we don't know about it but it's current size is probably correct.
It looks like a nightmare goldfish now
Timtim with the nerf news is what I needed today.
My problem with this new evidence is that the same fish they used… I bet none of them are as armored or front heavy as a Dunk would be. The swim bladder equivalent would need to be fairly sizable to offset the weight, even with the natural buoyancy of water, or the Dunk would just nosedive every time it tries to swim or just exist. That, or the body would need to be long or large enough to be naturally buoyant enough instead.
What if it was really wide!? Like an anglerfish or a bat fish
I just envisioned the dunkleosteus bobbing around the sea floor like my tadpoles when they died… if they died before the crawdad ate them. And the mental visual is just hilarious!
That's a very good point. Mass distribution would be a problem, and would required a front heavy Dunk to be a bit more balanced on the back end, otherwise is would be a tail-up bottom feeder. Not that we couldn't rule that out, but it certainly wasn't a detritivore. Seems to me a few rebuttal papers are in order...not to mention a full-body fossil lagerstatten...
@@Nathan-xd9vq
What’s the densest non mineral type of biomass any animal has? They might have had whatever that is in the tail.
Tim Tim always there for us
There's an exhibit at my local museum that has this species on display. It's one of my favorites to visit.
So people can design its body any way possible now?! That gives me alot to work with!!
I mean, technically it's always been that way.
@@PaleoAnalysis .... you have a point there. How about a possible frogfish design for it?
@@chancegivens9390That would make a lot more sense considering how wide and how rapidly the mouth would have opened.
@@crazyviking24 Right?!
That last one was awesome! Also Tim Tim is getting more screen time too! :)
“Bullet Bill”😂
The fact it went from being shark scary to giant piranha with pump action mouth is actually more frightening
Dunkleoteus got nerfed so badly lol
This is the cutest way to make a correction video.
And a shorter Dunk is just as badass.
Its kind of weird that most people think that since it isn't bigger that means its worse I mean its still the same dunk same jaw strength same niche same dominance over the food web at the time and being bigger really doesn't help all that much if your already the dominate predator your prey and competitors aren't getting bigger so why grow to big sizes if your just making your self slower, need more food, and are more vulnerable to environmental changes
As much as I love my 30ft fish, it probably makes more sense that it was smaller than we initially thought. Personally I don’t think earth was quite ready for a predator of that size yet.
What a downgrade. Still a badass prehistoric fish though
let's not forget the HUMUNGUS FUNGUS Prototaxites
Best correction format ever
Bro went from a pit bull to a pocket bully
Love how Timtim travels back in time to update everyone about Duncleosteus.
idk what people thought a 9 meter long guillotine beast would eat to support its massive size that early in earths history.
A so tintin is a mario Fan

The dunk may had been nerfed
BUT THE BITE STILL REMAINS
Man, science, why you gotta keep nerfin all of prehistory's uber badasses?
Don't think about it as a nerf. The razor mouth is the same size.
I still have not recovered from the Pluto nerf and now probably my favorite fish was also gutted. :(
@@colemanmoore9871 hell, if anything, maybe now it's an even faster thunniform swimmer! The ultimate ambush predator of the time
Tyrannosaurus rex:
Its weird that we only have the skull, this thing shouldn't be boneless why is it so hard to find the rest of em?
fish bones are normally thing and fragile. The skull bones of this guy are so think that they folsiilize so much better. Think of all the fish that existed that did not have a giant armored head that we will never know about.
Spinosaurus: welcome to the party
I think this was a wonderful use of the TH-cam shorts format
It's still a dense, bulldog of a monster! Doesn't look LESS like something I want to be bitten by lol
Still my top favorite sea predator.
Nice to see a picture from the Museum right next to me❤
so... it's a very big piranha with with an internal hard hat... and put most of it's points in it's jaw
I'm spellbound ❤️ 😍 by early 🐟, jawful and jawless alike. I'd love you to make more videos about ostracoderms, such as heterostracans and osteostracans, placoderms, acanþodians, and early ray-finned 🐟 and lobe-finned 🐠.
If you ask me, the smaller you make the swimming guillotine, the more frightening, the business bit is still the same size 😂
The first time I've heard of this fish was from playing Hungry Shark Evolution. I'm always disappointed that it was always a small fish.
Nooo the Dunk done got shrunk :'( Why must everything be so horrible all of the time! I wanted to go on believing they were huge!
Reality is often disappointing...
His personal vote is that Dunkleosteus looked like a Bullet Bill? Wow.
There are so many people who laugh at the size of this 12-13 foot mega fish with an unreal bite force, but then people are scared of aggressive house cats and rats…
Tim-Tim speaking intelligently feels cursed for some reason.
Honestly, I always imagined it to be short and scaly, very unlike a shark. Felt weird that it would be long. ... having that said, was that correlation applied to the oarfish?
I just saw u guys in line at a Dunkin I'm not gonna give location bc yk but it was nice seeing u guys I wish I had gotten out and said hi lol
My name must be Charlie Brown because, UUUUUUUUGH!!!! XD HAHA!
I like the new look tbh
Evolution be like: Fish with a guillotine for a face.
Ah so it's a piranha like instead of shark like, and the fact that I'm traumatised by the movie megapiranha this is much more terrifying.
I always thought it was pronounced Dunkle-osteus instead of Dun-kleosteus, since the fossil was named after David Dunkle.
Actually, assuming that you ended up time travelling to the Devonian period for whatever reason, Dunkleosteus’ smaller size would actually make it MORE dangerous to you, not less. This is because its shorter length, along with the size of the fish it would’ve fed on, would mean that it would be far more likely to consider you a food source than it would’ve at the original estimated size.
even if it's just 4-5 meter long it's still a menace and it's still a top predator
It’s size may have been reduced, but it’s personality is just as big as ever. All hail the Swimming Guillotine, Butcher of the Devonian!
Bro just got the roadhog treatment
Whether long or small bodied, seeing that thing head on would be terrifying.
Blud became bullet bill 💀
That time travel sound effect..."weeeee" ROFL
Skrunkly Dunkly
Bro that fish has a rock armor💀
I love the end man turned into a bullet bill
WOW WHAT!! I did not know this!! I love how the Thrinxodon or cynodont explains that it could literally be a Smol boy
The "waaaaaiiiiiiit"
that's what I like about science. it can go back and say "wait we got new evidence"
You bloody genius, I laughed so hard!
Neat, compact apex predator. It may not be ass long, but it’s still about the size of a giant Grouper, and those guys can still be intimidating. Despite not having axes for jaws.
This is like Santa's not real all over again 🥺
But the scrawny monk St Nicholas IS real, and still did some fantastic things.
Might be a downsize, but it'd still be terrifying to be around. Like, it's still on par with certain predatory sharks in terms of size and was probably still an apex predator.
It's also way faster now.
i'll take an oversized tuna that can crush metal all day
It strikes me as a very potent animal! The piranha analogy is probably close yeah but the fins hear shark like, could still beat a Xafactanius
Unless the Xafactanius attacked the hind quarter's but theta not especially likely.
Then we suddenly find out it's double from the initial estimates lol
Tim Tim is my spirit animal. 😊
Bullet bill hand me busting out lol
Love that Tim Tim is doing it
Honestly, Its probably scarier this way. A smaller body would mean its faster and more agile, like a barracuda. And from watching videos of barracudas cutting fishes in pieces, I wouldn`t want to be around a shark sized goldfish that could decapitate its prey in seconds! 😵
I like how tintin thinks it looks
He can’t be balling anymore because he is the ball
They did my boi dirty...
The funny thing is it doesn’t make it any less thicc or dangerous. Just means it’s got shortie rage as well which just adds to the danger
If anything it's more dangerous now because it's much faster and is still one of the largest animals of the time.
Timtim: waaaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiitt!!!!!!!
This kinda makes sense considering how weak most studies put its biteforce at.
I just saw one in the Austrian natural history museum😂😂😂
You go Timtim! Spittin' solid facts 👏
I'm in love with this series
I was wondering if you would respond to this news.
It looks a lot more chunky now and I like it
Bro thats bullet bill 😭
This and the Spino saga always keep us on our toes. You never know what they’re gonna find next
Nature does have some rules... somehow. It has to be a genetic thing that comes from a common ancestor? Right?
it became a bullet bill 💀
I am thinking of a big reef grouper with a pneumatic scissor like jaw.
That should be closer then the original 9m fish.
I'm going for tuna dunkleosteus
The funny thing is I always thought it was small. I never know it was shown to be so big before XD
