I think this is a really cool idea, giving basic rundowns of museums, and letting people know these places exist, it gives people like me more motivation to go, see and learn more about their local museums, fossil sites and general history of the region.
That's the plan. And I won't pretend that I'm aware of every museum or institution across the world so anytime I get a suggestion from a follower it goes into my list of places to see!
I just wish I was anywhere near these kinds of museums, but unfortunately I live in a country where we haven’t got that many fossils. We do have a lot of bog people remains, though. Greetings from Denmark 👋
Our party of three flew into Des Moines, Iowa, where we rented a car and we had a very pleasant drive into Nebraska. We spent a lovely evening in Norfolk, Nebraska (boyhood home of the great Johnny Carson) before heading over to the Ashfall Fossil Beds. We so totally enjoyed our brief tour there and it was neat seeing college students sitting inside the restricted area where they painstakingly sifted through the ash in search of new fossils and other evidence of prehistoric life. I highly recommend a visit to this most unique site and, by the way, the rolling hills around the Ash Fall are very beautiful. Thanks for giving Ash Fall some more free publicity.
I really love this series, last summer I dragged my son as well as my then girlfriend now wife and her son from Arizona to Yellowstone. While forcing them to go with me to every Natural History museum we could along the way all in all we went to about half a dozen different museums including big ones like the museum of the Rockies, but also smaller ones like the Tate Geological museum in Casper WY. I love the idea of a museum road trip and I think using video to capture everything is awesome.
Make sure you cast a vote in the poll I posted in the community tab, according to the there is a sizable amount of the audience who is more into hearing me cover the Paleozoic era.
that is honestly a rather recent development. At the time of this find attention for the Cenozoic excided the attention for the Mesozoic. Dino's were considered dumb things doomed for extinction. Robert Bakker revolutionised the vieuw on dino's, that and spectacular finds in China and Argentina enabled to winn the battle for attention for the Mesozoic.
Ashfall museum was a fun place to see a few years ago on a road trip to black hills area of south dakota. really cool to see the researchers actively working on the specimens in the dust
Now I can add another spot to my to-do list, on top of the major museums everybody knows about. And Nebraska is relatively close for me compared to many here in the U.S.
Ooh, I didn't even know about this museum! It's 2 states away, but still... I may have to make that trip. I love the idea that kind of museum visit so much! Thank you. I appreciate what you do. ❤️❤️
Great video. Fortunately, there have not been any eruptions of a super volcano in recorded human history. A mantle plume coming up through thick continental crust results in a magma that is high in silica content and as a result very sticky. Hawaii is also a mantle plume but coming up through the ocean has a low silica content that flows easily. Stratovolcanoes are in between in silica content and while they can erupt explosively (Mt St Helens in 1981) produce a lava that does not flow far from the point of origin. It is thought that the Columbia River Basalts were a result of the Yellowstone Hot Spot, but since they came up through fissures resulted in a Hawaiian thin lava that flowed from SE Washington and NE Oregon to the Pacific Ocean through the path of the Columbia River.
My favorite prehistoric animal that was found at ashfall Nebraska was the aepycamelus. P.S a good museum that talks about life in the Permian period would be the Heard museum in Seymour Texas it is near the red beds in Texas and Oklahoma that have a wealth of early Permian fossils found in them.
Intriguing and tragic. Thank you again for the information, and for bringing attention to these institutions. If I ever have the means, I'd love to visit some of these museums.
I love museums, but there's not many where I live, and it doesn't contain any fossils, since the island I live on, was underwater up until 3-4 million years ago, so most museums are about colonization, logging, fur trade, and first nations history
I wish some of these museums and sites weren't in such out of the way areas. I love museums but I don't have the time or money to travel all the way out to these places for a single location. I've done some of the big museums like the Smithsonian and Field Museums though. I wish there was some sort of like week or two long bus tour thing where a group of people could ride around and go explore all these more out of the way museums.
Extremely interesting. I hope I can visit some time in the future if I get to the USA. It's very cool that they have placed a building on top of the site. ^^
Volcanic ash tends to turn water acidic. Given the pristine state of some of these remains, is it possible that the watering hole was dried out or back filled, forcing the animals to dig for it? That would explain the large numbers in such concentration and the lack of skeletal degradation!
So we have Petoskey stones here in Michigan but that's really the only fossil I know of. What's the oldest fossil found in Michigan? And have any dinosaur fossils been discovered in Michigan? Have you visited any of the museums in Michigan?
ain't there not indications found on the bones that these animals slowly suffoced due to the glasslike dust in their lungs? read something about it causing particular growth on the bones.

I'd love a partner willing to go museum hoping with me. That must have been a great trip.
If I could ever visit the USA, one of the first places I'd want to visit would be the ashfall rhino barn, hands down.
Wow this is really cool! I hope i can visit there if I ever come visit USA
Dude you rock!!! Just as good as any of the Walking with Docs. Keep it up!
Great documentary with lovely narration.
This is the content i subbed for... the cenozoic is really underrated isn't it.

Really interesting! Plz keep making this type of video 😊😊😊
I'll have to stop by this one when I get back out west. Hot springs, South Dakota is another amazing site.
If you could cover the mass boneyard found at Snowmass, CO… that would be absolutely astounding!!!

It's a shame this video has so little views, it's one of your best ones
Love your videos man
Extremely interesting. I hope I can visit some time in the future if I get to the USA. It's very cool that they have placed a building on top of the site. ^^
The Chicago Fields Natural History Museum! I'd love to see that video!
It will happen. Don't know when, but it will happen!

man i want to drive out there to see that and i live in virginia
How about the museums in Denver, Laramie and Bozeman, Dino National Monument,...? Worth a trip or two or three? The world wonders....
I just want everybody to know that the auto-generated subtitles on this video refer to the discoverer as 'Dr. Forehead'.
Sam Noble Natural History Museum in Norman, Oklahoma......
Aye, fossils are 'rocks with tragic backstories'
So we have Petoskey stones here in Michigan but that's really the only fossil I know of. What's the oldest fossil found in Michigan? And have any dinosaur fossils been discovered in Michigan? Have you visited any of the museums in Michigan?
Shouldn't there be more Fossil beds dating further back if we backtrack the volcano?
One of a kind?
What about the Lebrea Tar pits
Sorry if I spelled it wrong
ain't there not indications found on the bones that these animals slowly suffoced due to the glasslike dust in their lungs?
read something about it causing particular growth on the bones.
Teleoceras was considered rather brainy for a rhinoceros.
