When I picked up what turned out to be the fateful specimen I thought it was a complete Temnodontosaurus jaw but on looking closer I saw that the bone was continous around the periphery, meaning it was actually all one bone! When I got back to Carol I said to her that it was either a piece of giant ichthyosaur or a dinosaur limb bone. I don't think she was that impressed but I knew it was the find of a lifetime. Simon Carpenters find it was at Manor Quarry which is just inland from Aust Cliff. It was from near the top of the Westbury mudstone. It comprises the compete anterior half of the surangular and as such enables us the 'fill in' the bit missing from the Blue Anchor find and hence confirms our size estimate for the same."
Will you do a video on the saurophaganax situation? Ive read a few articles about it but i couldnt quite figure out if only the holotype or if all the other bones that were also associated with it were reviewed and if its therefore been fully or only partially debunked
@@frost7463 Snapping turtles attack incredibly fast, alligators too. Even if it's factually correct (they move slowly by default and they attack their prey using ambush tactics) it sounds controversial, since in order to ambush something, you have to act really fast (example: snapping turtle attack).
@@frost7463 Maybe, just it sounds so dumb, because if I see the word "ambush" I think about a guy with a knife jumping on someone to stab them. That's very fast movement.
I'm sure dinosaurs were just as smart as modern day animals with a very large range of intelligence. Consider that both humans and koalas are both mammals yet the intelligence gap is...wide. Smart dinosaurs are well within the realm of possibility.

If you had to guess, what would you say would be the largest saber Tooth cat fossil that was ever found.
When Birds eat 🐴, NOW snakes eating whales!

It would be amazing!
I'm happy for you for getting invited for Paleo Rewind.
Happy xmas bro.
The idea of a giant python constricting a prehistoric whale is so surreal but absolutely fascinating
Ichthyotitan must have been like a god...
Imagine being a diver and coming face to face with an Ichthyotitan
Fantastic video dude

Predators really grab 90% of the attention in palaeontology channels 😭😭
Hoping for a video about the Otodus sharks and their trophic levels.

My pick is... T. mcraeensis
Saurophaganax being a goner
"slow-moving ambush predator" is a paradoxon, no?
No, snakes are very slow moving ambush predators, as are alligator snapping turtles and sleeper sharks.

@@MrHusang23 I believe that was the implication with the ichthyosaurs too, no?

@ slow moving until the ambush. Crocodiles are slow moving usually when stalking but lightning fast when they strike.

I have considered you as smart as a koala.

Thoughts on the saurophaganax nerf???
Just asking, but are there any cool news on the bruhothkaytus/ fangorn?

Can you do Can Every Aquatic Creature From Peter Jackson’s Skull Island survive the Western Interior Seaway?
W video when will you talk about Hector’s icthosaur? and if possible can you make a video of Hector’s icthosaur vs goji centers bloop
Thats not exactly an easy feat
As far as I know, the only specimen of Hector's Ichthyosaur, a singular vertebra, is in the bottom of the ocean. 💀
