Maybe what we have now are the descendants of the 'few' stronger species that made it. Quite possibly, there were many, many more somewhat sensitive species that just didn't make it. It's sad to think that we may have missed out on some truly exotic shapes and colours, that may have existed prior to extinction events - however, it's nowhere near as sad to think that we are 'knowingly' denying our distant descendants a great many animals we are wiping out simply by 'not doing enough.'

For anyone else who loves topics like this one, I HIGHLY recommend the video essay "The DEADLIEST Pattern In Nature" by Gutsick Gibbon! It's over an hour, but details what is essentially the history of life (and death) on Earth, and how Earth rebalanced itself after each cataclysmic extinction event threw the ecosystem out of whack. The part about the End Permian Extinction especially is my favorite. Thank you PBS, and thank you, Eons Team!
@@thezellman She honestly reminds me of one of the biology teachers I had in 9th grade. She has got that kind of positive energy that make everything interesting.
But due to that event, tyrannosaurid, raptors, ceratopsians, hadrosaurs, abelisaurs, megaraptorans, pteranodon, azdarchid, mosasaurs, and lamniformes could diverse and take the place. The world actually had its golden age in terms of biodiversity from 90 to 66ma. Search Cretaceous terrestrial revolution.
It took much longer than 40'000 years, that was just the time needed for the temperature to drop 4 degrees C ... the full recovery took about 500'000 years.
The Earth started out with no oxygen at all. For the first 2 billion years of life on earth, there was no oxygen. Then came a lot of oxygen released by a new creature as a byproduct. You see, oxygen is very reactive. It's corrosive. This caused a mass extinction like no other, terraformed the Earth, and caused a Snowball Earth. People are still not sure how life survived. And the Earth still hasn't fixed itself as there is still lots of the extremely corrosive stuff called oxygen in oceans and the atmosphere. Luckily, the earth has ways to remove that oxygen and return to normal (oxygen is very reactive). Hopefully, the earth will be fixed soon and all that oxygen removed.

Regarding ichthyosaurs, what's perplexing about them is how rapidly they evolved. Whales first appeared in the fossil record ~15 million years after the KT event and weren't fully aquatic until 10 million years later. Meanwhile, Ichthyosaurs appear ~4 million years after the even more devastating PT extinction event and were fully aquatic by that time. It's a bit of a mystery pulses of marine anoxia of a similar scale which caused the PT extinction continued up until the mid-Triassic and the only reason that they didn't cause mass extinctions was because there was nothing left to kill. But when the oceans are anoxic, being able to breathe air would have given ichthyosaurs a decisive advantage and may explain why they were able to colonize the ocean so quickly and long before the ecosystem recovered. If this is the case it would be ironic if ocean anoxia caused their extinction as well.
I am going to hazard a guess that the icthyosaurs died out not as a direct result of the anoxia, but from losing their food supply due to the anoxia, and that they started out depending upon a food supply that had persisted through the Permian-Triassic extinction event, but then later became dependent upon less resilient food supplies.
@@Lucius_Chiaraviglio This also seems likely to me. Many depictions are of them eating things that are deep sea based, like squid, and as they mention in the video many deep sea species suffered or went extinct during these periods. It'd be a potentially major source of their diet that was lost.
I've heard speculations that competition with mosasaurs drove the ichthyosaurs to extinction. Mosasaurs started to show up in the fossil record predominantly around the same time of the ichthyosaurs extinction.
Of course, but the steps we need to take are debatable. All this effing about with solar panels is a distraction at best, and competition with countries that frankly don't care, means we can't just dive head first into more drastic measures.
Flood basalts are my favorite geologic feature. I remember learning about our local Columbia River Basalts in college. My mind exploded to say the least.
I was just thinking about how anoxic events are the coolest extinction event - the shadow biosphere of life that was common before oxygen (which is poisonous to them) rises from beneath the ocean's sediment to fill the ocean and take back the earth.

🙂Another great epidsode!! I love saying 'silicate weathering.' It's like my new favorite phrase that I'll be repeating 476 times in the next week. Thanks Kallie! I could listen to you all. day. long.
Wonder if we can use the weathering chemicals to remove our own carbon? Thousands of years are blinks in Geo-time so "industrializing" them might be fairly simple?
...um...PBS Eons... The video clip of Earth as viewed from near space -- inserted @~8:00 -- has our planet rotating 'backwards'...with 'First Sunrise' occurring on the WEST coast, & progressing Eastward...
Now consider that this is why we have coal and oil (at least some of it). And we are depleting reserves that collected after not one, but several of these events. And the volcanic eruptions took several centuries to increase CO2 to these levels, the same levels that we will probably reach in about one century.
At least half a mil year to cause near mass extinction event in prehistoric period. But now it only took a couple century to almost reach the lowest number in previous event. Well done 👍
An ancient catastrophe wrecks havoc on life, only to be quelled after thousands of years by the planet's own natural defenses. Millions of years later, humans, in quest for money and power, dig up the remains of that disaster and foolishly wake the cataclysm once again. If that was the premise for a fantasy novel, it would get written off as trite, but here we are. :P
It's not just about money and power, it's to help our species evolve. Otherwise we would go extinct. Eventually we will solve our energy problem, but for now it's necessary to burn fossil fuels.
What if we add a realistic plot twist? Like unleashing ancient disaster being a side not, while unless civilization collapse due to unrelated reasons, humans go into terraforming business?
@@ExtremeMadnessX Burning fossil fuel is stupid nowadays, especially for heating and personal vehicles (and no, EV is not a real solution). But if we don't want to technologically regress to proto-industrialisation ages, we still need a minimum of diesel and heavy fuel engine for public transportation and backup generators. And things like medicine improved drastically because of the chemistry discoveries resulting from crude oil exploitation.

You have to remember the human perspective. When we say the world we mean the hospitable one that has existed for the last 10,000 years. But it is worth remembering that yes the Earth will adapt, and we may or may not like the adaptations.

It's amazing what people keep voting for.
I understand asking why on questions like these quickly leads to a few years of university, but 3:28 why, how would a left or right spiral help an animal servive in cooler vs warmer water?
Probably doesn't... so long as it doesn't hurt their chances of reproducing, the chirallity (handyness) will just pass on to the next generation. Suppose chirallity was a side effect of coriolis effect from which hemisphere the organism developed in and over timea population north or south of the equator adapted to a given temperature by chance
The video just said they found a correlation. They may not yet know the causal pathway of it, and yes someone may earn a prestigious degree figuring it out.
I can tell you snails prefer to mate with individuals of the same left or right handedness. So any population is likely to only have one or the other (to the extent you can use it to identify species). Not sure what that has to do with temperature though.
Seriously, seeing the title of the video, I didn't realize this wasn't about the Permian-Triassic extinction until I saw the thumbnail with the ichthyosaur. I had no idea extinction (through sucking oxygen out of the ocean) via flood basalts happened more than once.
Between the timestamps 8:02 and 8:10, there's an animation depicting the Earth rotating. Notably, the Earth is shown spinning in a clockwise direction when viewed from above the North Pole, leading to the sun appearing to rise on the US west coast first. This representation is clearly inaccurate. What could be the reason behind creating the graphic in this manner, and has there been any acknowledgment of this mistake?
Well I thought it was about the pace of the warming, not the magnitude Anyway, guess we finally have an explanation for this anoxia event and even an extinction event I'd argue; Ichtyosaurs and Pliosaurs went extinct, Nodosaurids became minor players in the environment as Ankylosaurids began to dominate, Allosauroids (I'm leaving Megaraptorans out of this as it's uncertain whether they were Allosauroids or Coelurosaurs even tho more evidence is pointing towards them being Tyrannosauroids, thus Coelurosaurs)) and Megalosauroids went extinct, Ceratopsians and Coelurosaurs began to truly establish dominance, Hadrosaurs pretty much replaced Iguanodonts at the time Maybe we could even consider splitting the Cretaceous up into 2 separate periods (or maybe correct the Early-Late Cretaceous boundary to the Cenomanian-Turonian boundary) @GEOGIRL new video idea maybe? 👀
Imagine how many generations suffered those consequences. High temperatures, low oxygen etc. Billions of animals trying their best to survive in a seemingly never ending hell on earth
The Earth really is an amazing planet. Able to fix itself and preserve future life even at the cost of current ones. It's sad that we are doing now what might not normally happen for hundreds of thousands of years
Life is the universe's self adapting self growing system that inputs simple energy and outputs complex contraptions we call life. It really is the most special phenomenon in the universe. It is chaos organized absolutely.
Gret cudeo as always folks. Here's a question I've wondered for years: was the Little Ice really just the beginning of the next Ice Age, first slowed by the beginning of the industrial revolution, then reversed as coal and oil burning began to put out enough CO2 to counteract it?
I know the Earth has wobbled on it's axis and the magnetic poles don't know how to stay put, and I'm fairly certain it's never rotated backwards (8:02-8:12). Don't know if it's the video editor having a laugh or just being shoddy with stock footage choices.
Zooniverse hosts a Planet 9 themed citizen science project “Backyard Worlds: Planet 9.” It’s currently out of data, new sets of images are being added. It’s an interesting process of checking old images.
I would love a video about how corals survived past mass extinctions. Given how sensitive they seem to changes in ocean conditions, it seems almost miraculous that any varieties made it through the K-T extinction.
This is just my speculation, but I would imagine they just moved to cooler more oxygenated waters near the north/south poles.
It's a shame we can't get DNA from fossils lol, I'd be curious if corals just repeatedly re-evolved to fill the niche? (as basically calcified cnidarians)@@TSZatoichi
Even today there are varieties that live in warmer conditions than most of the ocean.
If we aren't careful, those will be the only corals left alive.
Yeah they're just like every other animal, like sharks. When the water becomes inhospitable, they slowly move where the conditions are right.
Maybe what we have now are the descendants of the 'few' stronger species that made it.
Quite possibly, there were many, many more somewhat sensitive species that just didn't make it.
It's sad to think that we may have missed out on some truly exotic shapes and colours, that may have existed prior to extinction events - however, it's nowhere near as sad to think that we are 'knowingly' denying our distant descendants a great many animals we are wiping out simply by 'not doing enough.'

Autism
nice.
I miss Hank, good to see him even if it's just a promo!
We hear about extinction events plenty, but not the cycles of how the Earth balances back out.
The planet will endure. In 100,000 years, I'd be interested to see (if I could) if humanity manages to survive its self-induced extinction.
Well I thought it was about the pace of the warming, not the magnitude
Anyway, guess we finally have an explanation for this anoxia event and even an extinction event I'd argue; Ichtyosaurs and Pliosaurs went extinct, Nodosaurids became minor players in the environment as Ankylosaurids began to dominate, Allosauroids (I'm leaving Megaraptorans out of this as it's uncertain whether they were Allosauroids or Coelurosaurs even tho more evidence is pointing towards them being Tyrannosauroids, thus Coelurosaurs)) and Megalosauroids went extinct, Ceratopsians and Coelurosaurs began to truly establish dominance, Hadrosaurs pretty much replaced Iguanodonts at the time
Maybe we could even consider splitting the Cretaceous up into 2 separate periods (or maybe correct the Early-Late Cretaceous boundary to the Cenomanian-Turonian boundary)
@GEOGIRL new video idea maybe? 👀
Fascinating🌟🌟💯💯
Imagine how many generations suffered those consequences. High temperatures, low oxygen etc. Billions of animals trying their best to survive in a seemingly never ending hell on earth
This and gutsick gibbon's video about the carbon silica cycle are just 👌chef's kiss
The Earth really is an amazing planet. Able to fix itself and preserve future life even at the cost of current ones. It's sad that we are doing now what might not normally happen for hundreds of thousands of years
Life is the universe's self adapting self growing system that inputs simple energy and outputs complex contraptions we call life.
It really is the most special phenomenon in the universe. It is chaos organized absolutely.
Gret cudeo as always folks. Here's a question I've wondered for years: was the Little Ice really just the beginning of the next Ice Age, first slowed by the beginning of the industrial revolution, then reversed as coal and oil burning began to put out enough CO2 to counteract it?
I haven't yet been able to watch the video, but this is the best thumbnail ever.
We wont kill the earth, we will all die before it can get that bad.
I know the Earth has wobbled on it's axis and the magnetic poles don't know how to stay put, and I'm fairly certain it's never rotated backwards (8:02-8:12).
Don't know if it's the video editor having a laugh or just being shoddy with stock footage choices.
Nah, it’s just someone having a Spielberg moment with an extremely large and super fast tracking shot.
The line of dawn was definitely moving from west to east, and there were lots of artificial lights across North America. So, future hint, maybe? 🤔
We ❤ you, Hank!!
Zooniverse hosts a Planet 9 themed citizen science project “Backyard Worlds: Planet 9.” It’s currently out of data, new sets of images are being added. It’s an interesting process of checking old images.
I appreciate that yall changed the preview pic and its just a DIFFERENT image of a dazzle camo ichthiosaur, XD
