How did they rule out the possibility that these creatures were killed in two different locations by the same volcanic mud flow and their corpses ended up being sloshed together by chance?
@@debbylou5729 I think you misunderstood my question. I didn't assume or imply it would be difficult to rule out. The question was, _how_ did they rule it out? And yes, I'd _really_ like to know. It's a reasonable question.
I guess either theory is valid. I think they're going on how they're tangled together, maybe it looks like the mammal is chomping on part of the dinosaur. But even they admit it's just an educated guess as this sort of evidence of interaction is "limited".
My theory : dino not dead yet, but nearly, perhaps from a fall or another predator & maybe immobilized. Mammal sees an easy meal, dino comes to, moves foot...CUE THE MUDSLIDE !
More likely they happen to settle together in the mudslide as apposed to engaging with each other before or during the event. Funny they left that out as an option when that is by far the norm.
Is there a theory of how the smaller mammal is attacking the dino ? It may have been locked on the dino's throat, with the dino too weak to bite back, explaining the mammal's hand in the dino's mouth.
So they both died so quick so fast at the same time. Idk how they stood lock together an not released an try to escape an flee. Like a snake when it got some pray an it know that it mite be attacked it will let its prey go in order to save itself
Fascinating and spectacular find. A snapshot of time long ago. The both dying in the throes of the fight for survival is my imagination’s best guess and the theory I prefer. But I’m no expert.
I have seen some other evidence to suggest that dinosaurs might not have ruled the earth too. It has, of course, very little implications for today. Darwinian evolution with modification, natural selection and survival of the fittest has many powerful implications today; and we should stop trying to do our best to reverse it, because it is getting really very costly.
What about rigor mortis? Sure, it takes a while to start and it wears off fairly soon, and the jaw could have been held closed during that by the mud flow[floe?], but I just think that's quite serendipitous to the point of farce. It's still a well cool fossil on its own as it is. We can see that this small mammal did scavenge, or they were just pushed together like OP said, but then they lived in the same locale as the other animal locked in the fossil. Unless dating shows an older fossil was pushed into a newer one, idk. Nature is wild, and I'm not a paleontologist.
@@mookinbabysealfurmittens It could be anything tha that happened, but Occam's razor can also be applied here too. It seem obvious that it would take an extraordinary evidence to prove something else happened than "they were in a fight when they died"
They could have been singing Hakuna Matata when they got fried, being best friends and all, co-dependant, or symbiotically-oriented with the right pronouns, etc. and benefitting their environment by being best pals. You know? Why fight? Make love, not war assumptions.
@@texasermd1Fiji mermaids? Not a fossil, but hoaxes are common. Try "Hobby Lobby faked artifacts". Or all the faked mummies from the very start of European plunder of ancient Egyptian sacred sites. And everywhere else. (Just look at the "great finds" cherished in museums, a thousand times more just stored in crates behind the scenes.) Imo why not scam the people desecrating sites in other countries & stealing everything? That includes fossils. Bad for science, but there's lousy ethics all over the fingerprints of "discovery". Heisenberg's Principle and the rape of the natural world. (I'm of course not anti-science. I'm just not a fan of blindly accepting the "work" of "brave" "explorers" like Jacques Cousteau & Crístobal Colón, and their "scientific" conclusions about the peoples they destroyed.)
@@or2ak my statement basically identifies that, as we keep discovering thing we realize we were wrong all along. Such as we revolve around the sun not the other way around. Now they think some dinosaurs had feathers. Mammals now maybe hunter Dino’s, maybe aliens are real… with these congressional hearings. What we know is that we know nothing for sure!
Nature decided that these two creatures will do battle for all eternity.
well everybody knows you dont mess with a badger or wolverine.
Don't mess with Marjorie Taylor Greene, lest she infect you with a drug resistant form of rabies and bad odors.
Most amazing fossil I've ever seen.
A 100 million year old snapshot in time.
What was the last thing the mammal said before it died attacking the dinosaur?
It said: Hmm. It tastes like chicken.
Kinda gamey, though.I it needs more kosher salt and pepper and just little bit of hot sauce, everything is better with hot 🔥🥵 sauce.
Everything about this find is fascinating!
It was your theory that said these two creatures should never have met. Now you have the choice: Do a rewrite, or shelve it.
This mammal species are known to have eaten baby versions of the dinosaur it is attacking.

Really? You think that would be difficult?

I thought the same thing. They mention this about halfway through the video with the leg entanglement theory.

As soon as they said "three times it's own size" I knew it was a honey badger.
Honey Badger don't give a sh!t.
"Ugh! What's it eating?!" 😅
@@mookinbabysealfurmittens POOP!
I'm so surprised I had to scroll this far to see thus reference! I gotta go find that video lol
@@craven5328 :)
It would be very strange for any predator to overlook any food source
A new fossil sounds like a oxymoron
😂 like jumbo shrimp 🦐
Just pissed off being in a volcanic mudflow and biting anything in rage.
They were friends. When the mud started to flow they embraced, much like the people in Pompeii
Who is the narrator/host of this video?
Not accepting the “attack” claim. Another and more possible explanation is perhaps the mammal was eating a dead Dino.
Hard agree. Fossils aren't like a comic-book freeze-ray.
They address this exact scenario in the video.
@@tryste_mx Barely. And you see where they stand with that clickbaity title. (On the side of clickbait.)
Kinda doubt they decided to continue a fight in the midst of drowning in volcanic mud.
More likely they happen to settle together in the mudslide as apposed to engaging with each other before or during the event. Funny they left that out as an option when that is by far the norm.
Ball locks.
Looks like an Alien fresh out of the egg!
It almost seems like mammals let dinosaurs off easy with volcanos and asteroids.
"Taz like Wild Dino Surprise!"
Is there a theory of how the smaller mammal is attacking the dino ? It may have been locked on the dino's throat, with the dino too weak to bite back, explaining the mammal's hand in the dino's mouth.
Maybe the dinosaur was trying to eat the mammal, and the mammal was pushing the dinosaurs mouth away.
Chickens are dinosaurs.
I didn't know Chinese can Shanzhai fossil 😂
The action is not necessarily "surprising". Nowadays cats do that all the time.
So they both died so quick so fast at the same time. Idk how they stood lock together an not released an try to escape an flee. Like a snake when it got some pray an it know that it mite be attacked it will let its prey go in order to save itself

Do dinosaurs taste like current reptiles? I eat alligator and snake, yum.
It came out of China - it should come with a huge grain of salt.
Very cool video ✌️🇺🇸
Maybe they were lovers. Open your mind
They could have been both trapped in a rushing mud-flow while still alive and just got roiled together.
That's a possibility. But, it's nice to think the badger-spirited mammal actually attacked the dinosaur.
Time may, or may not, reveal the truth.

So true! It would rewrite the script of mammals staying out of the way of dinosaurs. We're a feisty lot!
what is the name of this sympathic girl/wloman talkin bout it? :)
Looks fake to me but I don't know sh_t about fossils. So, okay I guess. 🤔
That fossil casting is malarkey
Sorry, the music wasn’t annoying enough. Unsubscribe.

Interesting it may be fake?
Interesting, they address this in the video. It's not likely fake.
Extraordinary find if it is indeed real, and not another hoaxed fossil.
Yes, of course, nothing is real. Even this comment is just in your imagination. 🙄

The only ones hoaxing fossils are the religious cause it destroys the foundation of their narrow world views.
This science sounds very speculative. They should get Science, Dr Fauci.
Careful, your lack of education is showing.
