Ummm, you do realize that some animals certainly did survive that & there's no legit reason that "nothing could survive that". Anything that was below ground or was under water or in deep caves, had a strong chance of survival. Besides, the forces involved didn't effect the entire planet universally & more importantly, the evidence suggests that most deaths came after the initial devastation (starvation/dehydration/poisoning), not as a direct result of just the forces present in the initial impact.

A long time ago I use to really love dinosaurs and other prehistoric animals and your channel made me come back and learn more about them, keep up the good work!
Hey Ben, I am your regular viewer and I appreciate your work a lot. I have a little request to make, I am a proud buffalo dairy farmer. I feel very disappointed and hurt when people confuse my gentle and docile riverine buffaloes with Bisons and Cape buffaloes. I request and implore you to do an episode explaining the difference between water buffaloes (both swamp and riverine type), bubalas arnee, Cape buffaloes, African jungle buffaloes and American and Eurasian Bisons. I hope you will take my request kindly.
You guys going on the beaches reminded me of going to Calvert Cliffs in Maryland where I live. I have multiple shark tooth fossils I found there when I was younger. Last time I went there was a couple years ago. While we were there was a team of paleontologist working on excavating a fossil. We weren’t allowed to go near them sadly and look at the fossil but I found it cool that they were there working on excavating while we swam and looked for fossils of shark teeth.
"We've come here, to the Isle of..." *intro cuts in* You've definitely missed on an opportunity there. Although, I can appreciate not overplaying the joke. Great episode. As usual.
I hope it’s the isle of weight, Iv had a lot of good memories there especially since it’s kinda a tradition to go there once a year with my dad and walk along the beach looking for fossils as the sunsets over the pink summer ocean and we suddenly realise there’s ten minutes to get to the other side of the island to catch our ferry lmao
It is indeed the Isle of Wight, we actually ran into a similar problem when we realised we didn't have long to get back to the ferry! The fossils are too distracting! :D
I went to the jurassic coast in england with my mom when I was 11. It's a really great location, you will definitely find some (giant) ammonites there. I also went to see Trix the trex in france this summer. Seeing fossils with your own eyes is just absolutely breathtaking. I feel like you can't really capture the presence of these once living creatures on camera, it's something you need to experience first hand to really understand what wonders these animals were.
I lived on the Isle of Wight for 20 years. I loved how dinosaurs are part of the local culture though sadly it didn't explode in popularity the way it has now until after I moved away. It was nice seeing some familiar places in the video. Thanks.
When i was younger i was absolutely obsessed with dinosaurs so whenever I went to visit my gran on the isle of wight I'd beg her to take me to this exact museum haha. This brought back a lot of memories, I probably haven't been there since 2009-10
Was over there digging last year (I'm from Denmark), and can confirm that it is indeed a very fossil-rich digging site. I happened to dig at the exact same location where you were (I take it that's Compton Beach and Brighstone Bay), and found some good pieces of bone, as well as large piece of fossil wood. I know others who have found teeth and claws in that exact location. You should have gone a bit farther to the west side of the cliffs, where there's more chalk in the rocks. That's where most of the big bones tend to erode off from. I will probably be going back there soon enough in hope of finding some more dino-fossils. The brown clay you dug in, is not the most fossiliferous part of the beach though, just in case you're going there some other time. I myself have a partial limb-bone of an Iguanodon, more specifically the end of a femur. It weighs 10 kg by itself, and it's only about a quarter of the whole bone. Also a partial sauropod rib. I didn't dig those up myself though, wasn't 'that' lucky when I was there digging for 2 days. But that bone was also found on the more western side of the beach. Pics here: i.imgur.com/mXxfwf3.jpg Also I think someone recently (Or well, 2013) found a partial jaw/skull-piece from a Baryonyx on the isle as well. saurian.blogspot.com/2013/10/important-new-spinosaur-material-from.html
Welcome to my home. You should have popped in for a cup of tea. It was great to see you visit Compton and Sandown. I hope you had a wonderful time and it would be awesome to have you visit again some time.
Must say I envy you guys... I was born and raised in Colorado, where I as a child spent most of my life at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science. I also would go on trips with my parents to Dinosaur National Monument (before they closed it) or the petrified forest ect... They were very supportive of my Dinosaur love... Now I live in Georgia where the fossil hunting is rather poor. Oh well... Now that your like, " Why the hell is this guy telling us his Friken life story?" I will leave you alone... Great work you all do a damn fine job and I always look forward to seeing your videos, keep it up!
@@NobleKorhedron sorry I didn't put context, at one point yeas ago it had to be closed for renovation the old building was settling and had become dangerous. So they had closed it. It's not now
The sounds on the interactive board were taken from the classic dinosaur-hunting video game "Carnivores 2", being given to the game's ankylosaurus and T. Rex respectively.
Only the head maquette they used (8:00) resembled Allosaurus Fragilis more than Neovenator Salerii, but I guess we get the point :) Also, Wealden Clay Formation is roughyl equivalent in the time epriod with Wessex, so this means that Bary could co-exist with Iguanodon, Polacanthus and Neovenator as well?
I was at Yaverland in October, we found some dinosaur bones that was later stolen by the museum curator. If you look along where the sea meets the beach but at lower tide, there’s a series of coral beds which are remarkably well preserved.
What a gorgeous beach to search! Real jealous I'm stuck on the east coast of America. Still, got some good Paleocene and Miocene spots here, good picking if you like kayaking; the areas of the Aquia Formation I comb has turned up Otodid sharks, Turret Snails, Trionyx Turtles, and even large bodied Thoracosaurs. Always the best of times to get outdoors and look for fossils.
Keep looking and you will find something! It can be very addictive! It gets a little easier as you figure out what layers most of the fossils are coming out of. I was lucky enough to find a Struthimimus claw my first day out and it is still one of my favorite finds.
After watching this, I went online to see how I can get to Isle of Wight from Boston MA and sign up for fossil hunt. I am seventy years old. You guys inspire me. It will be my first time leaving USA - thank you 💖
interesting how most model replicas of ichthyosaur are of the styling from Walking with Dinosaurs, though that may be down to most of these museums making these around the late 90s to early 2000s (manchester museum being a good example)
Fascinating and inquisitive vlog Ben. Wished I’ve been to Isle of Wight whilst I’ve visited Lyme Regis and Charmouth hunting ammonites, belemnites and even found a tiny Ichthyosaur teeth. It’s only a couple hundred millions year apart between Lyme Regis and the IOW. 🦖🦕👌🏻
Iguanodons are probably my favorite non-avian dinosaurs. They have THUMB'S 👍, the only other dinosaurs i can remember to have thumbs are the Indominus Rex and Indoraptor.
Hahahaha your advanced technology what the end of the dinosaurs looked likevwas one of the best renderings ive ever seen. Highly advanced and technical
i assumed you guys were like... 30-40 year old men that studied for decades on biology and stuff from your voice, i never could've guessed you were young like that!
I'm pretty sure most/some of them have recently finished high school and the rest are yet to. What they consistently achieve in their videos is impressive for any age.
Really! They came off as master's/PhD students to me, not quite old and jaded but experts on some level and fully capable of reading and understanding thorough academic studies and papers (harder than it may sound for those of you not in academia)
Clearly, some of the fleshed out models in that museum where either borrowed from Walking with Dinosaurs or were made by the same people. The Opthalmasaurus (think I misspelled that) was straight out of Walking with Dinosaurs, the Neovenator head was a repurposed Allosaurus head, and the Iguanadon was the striped variant from it. Also, holy crap the narrators actually have physical bodies!
I would love to know was the isle of white part of a bigger continent? If so, could there be the same finds on a formerly touching area of another continent?
That neovenator's roar is a public domain generic dinosaur roar generally used in conjunction with the T-Rex when documentaries or video games can't buy the license to use Jurassic Park's dinosaur roars. First thing I thought when I heard that roar was Dino Crisis.
Awww thats gutting how Dinosaur Expeditions was closed, they have my paleo accurate fossil magnets there for sale, you could have come away with some cracking gifts from there :-S

Rated now fam! Good news, they deserve it💯

The Capri Sun fossil you found proves that Dinosaurs lived very much the same way we do. :)
Poor T. rex couldn't enjoy the Capri-Sun, because his little arms couldn't reach his mouth.
@@TomMSTie1138 where's a straw when ya need it. lol
@@TomMSTie1138 it’s alright, there must have been as yet undiscovered Capri Sun fossils with extended straws for Tyrannosaur consumption.
