What the Hell is Euchambersia?!

- Euchambersia was an odd, somewhat small predator in the Permian, and it had a lot of similarities with some of its relatives. But it also had one distinct trait which could make it the most unique of any Permian predator.

I had no idea they were able to CT scan a distorted fossil and then un-distort it. That's fantastic.
If you think about it that's one of the first things you'd want to do with a totally scrambled and disarticulated fossil. Or eggs or burrows you don't want to change from their natural configuration. The only alternative you have is to cut something up. And some fossils are fragile and could crumble.
If you want to get a safe sneak peek inside something, a ct scan is the obvious choice. With modern technology, 3d modeling and vr makes this an even more powerful thing.
I think he said that the African environment stresses have distorted the African fossils, compared to their Chinese counterparts.
CT Scanning creates a 3D model we can skew back into the original, symmetrical, form - I think that's what he meant.

The Permian absolutely fascinates me
The snaggle tooth kind of makes it look cute.
I haven't seen one anywhere by anyone so sory if you've already made one but I'd greatly apreciate a short video listing all the sabertoothed animals and their differences. Especially the differences between the different cat like animals with saber teeth.

this is definitely one of my favorite youtube channels... i think this is one of the most underrated educational youtube channels on this platform (you deserve way more success on this platform than you are getting). keep up the amazing videos man. i really look forward to your videos.
Holy cow RaptorwChatter! I also wish we new more. First venomous land based tetrapod or not. I love the process of discovery leading to more discovery.
I really enjoy your presentation
I don't think I ever want to see another picture of that Satan deer. Just imagine seeing that creepy thing, looking in at you through the window at night.
I could see it being so small, just biting something a few times then wait for it to die, and dinner is ready. Nice work!
There was a paper earlier today about a relatively small mammal relative hunting a slightly larger (but still small) dinosaur. Kinda like how weasels can hunt prey 5-10x their size! So it may be kinda the first example of something like that.
I like "stem mammals", but Mammal-like reptiles is so ingrained in the nomenclature, I'm not sure it will ever be replaced...
Great video, as always....
Thanks! And I agree. I think in maybe 30 years it could be replaced, but it needs to start in kids books, so that when they grow up to be paleontologists it's already there that these animals weren't just reptiles.
How about reptile-like mammals?
0:19 Himb a good boi.
Just discovered your channel after months of looking for a good paleontology channel. Love your content! Very well presented and structured. Keep up the good work!
Great video! You seem to make a point to cover more original topics and that’s appreciated! I like your new hair cut too😉
I really do try to. And I try to be fair to most of the science instead of being as dramatic as possible, like with the conclusion of this video. There's a lot of intense research going on, and I can only cover so much of it. Hopefully this does justice to the animal!
He’s cute
What a cute lil guy!!
Great video!
I fell in love with this animal in Walking with Monsters. Also, incredible to think that in the 1930s before all this technology someone could already identify those tiny canals in fossil teeth.
Here's a guide on how to identify a Euchambersia if you encounter one:
Relatively small, less then a metre
A relatively broad skull
No ears
No teeth after the canines
I hope this helps someone avoid getting venom injected into them in the case of a Euchambersia encounter.
Permian stem mammals are cool
you'd think the first venemous tetrapods were the lepidosaurs but it's funny to see synapsids get to it first
Not really surprising, since some modern mammals have venomous bite like shrew and solenodon
Isn't Inostrancevia a gorgonopsid instead of a theracephalian?
Yeah it is a gorgonopsian, the largest of them all. Therocephalians are a bit closer to mammals than gorgonopsians.
It was, sure, but the therocephalians contained both groups
@@RaptorChattertherocephalians and gorgonopsids were separate groups
It might not be the forst venomous tetrapod but it might be first very activly stinky :D
Awesome topic!
So, how do we crowd fund micro CT scanners?
They're between 250000 and 1000000 dollars, so realistically donate to where you want to see things studied, and go for that instead.
So weird, it should be classified in the Chupacabrae family...
So will Chinese Paleoz and International Paleoz come together and show the world how symbiosis works?
It's unfortunate that you dodged "Dinocephalians" and instead used "Tapinocephalids", Dinocephalians were incredibly widespread in the Middle Permian. Anteosaurus was actually the largest Predator of the Permian.
*land predator
Yes, but I was already talking about predators in the Permian. So I wanted to contrast their lifestyles. There's a non-zero chance that one of the Dinocephalian predators ends up as one of these videos in the future.
@@RaptorChatter True lol, I just love Dinocephalians tbh
TH-cam Algorithm
All praise the Algorithm
Thank you! I appreciate it!
this should be a pokemon
Looks like a gorgonopsid.
Closely related, but not one!
Sounds like an explosion of diversity.
Me: sees a paleoart of Paleorex
Also me: 🤢 🤮
Great video!
