I remember going here a while back and going through the dinosaurs section because I love dinosaurs.Then when I saw this video it looked the same.Thank you so much for making a virtual tour so I can relive this moment
Thanks for watching and thanks so much for the feedback! For the moment, the 1/2 layout is all that's offered in this particular software, but we'll pass along that excellent note to the development team.
@@AmericanMuseumofNaturalHistory The tour done by Allison Bronson last month did this right. Though I still enjoyed it, it is harder to watch this one.
I loved hearing the questions and answers. Clicked on thinking I wasn't going to actually learn much as I thought it would be more just showing the fossils, but I learned a lot. I do wish it was longer You should do more of these!
So glad you enjoyed! We've got a playlist of hall tours here: th-cam.com/play/PLrfcruGtplwEXUWftJlyTCOZUWD-GXWNU.html and a new tour premiering next week: th-cam.com/video/_bj2e-UVw1s/w-d-xo.html
@@AmericanMuseumofNaturalHistory I knew the channel had other tours but didnt look for playlist. Thanks for the link! I'll definitely try to tune in for the next one! Stay safe :)
Love these tours and please keep them coming. I've been to these halls dozens of times in my lifetime and never tire of seeing them, but I would simply love a more extensive tour of this room along the lines of the one that Allison did in the Hall of Vertebrate Origins a while back. There are so many fascinating exhibits in this room. Thanks again!
So glad you enjoyed! We're definitely planning to keep this up and appreciate you watching. Are there halls in particular that you'd like to see in the tour line-up?
@@AmericanMuseumofNaturalHistory Of course and thanks for asking. I wouldn't mind, in addition to a focus on some of the other exhibits in the Hall of Saurischian Dinosaurs, to see a tour (obviously) of the Ornithischian Dinosaur Hall as well as the Halls of Advanced Mammals and Primitive Mammals. Look forward to your next virtual tour and thanks again!
Also includes tours of The Hall of Saurischian Dinosaurs, The Hall of Ornithschian Dinosaurs, The Hall of Advanced Mammals, The Hall of Vetebrate Origins and The World of Dinosaurs: An Illustrated Tour, Dinosaurs: New Visions of a Lost World, Mesozoic Art and The End of the Megafuna exhibits.
16:26 That's exactly what I wanted to ask: which parts of the famous AMNH5753 Allosaurus are original fossil material? Our guide couldn't answer this question, so maybe someone else can help me out here?
Hi George- That specimen (AMNH 5753) is considered remarkably well-preserved. You can read an early account of the mount in this 1908 edition of the American Museum Journal (www.biodiversitylibrary.org/item/44930#page/11/mode/1up). That being said, it does include plaster restorations, especially parts of the skull. I know that's not too specific, but hope it's helpful!
@@AmericanMuseumofNaturalHistory Thank you very much indeed for your answer! Also many thanks for providing the link to the pages of the Journal which are 112 years old - it is always interesting to read such descriptions/accounts, for example, back then in 1908 they were unable to determine the absolute, more precise age of these fossils, so they hugely underestimated the real age of Allosaurus, as one can read in the journal - I personally find it fascinating: by reading such old texts you can experience first-hand a particular stage in the history of science. Yes, if I remember correctly, I have also read it somewhere else before that the skull includes restorations. To me the skull itself looks more massive than the typical skulls in other specimens, maybe this one represents a bigger species of Allosaurus.
Technically the case for feathering in Allosaurus is not very strong, the vast majority of known preserved feathered dinosaurs are Coelurosaurs, which is about 50 genera, this lead to the assumption that feathers originated in these animals and were an apomorphy of Coelurosaurs, however there are other dinosaurs that challenge this idea, Concavenator, which is an Allosauroid, had little bumps on its forearms that resemble quill nobs seen in birds and Deinonychosaurs like Velociraptor, but they should be arranged in a somewhat geometric order, all of them being at roughly the same distance from the other while in Concavenator they are somewhat irregular so they could be attachment points for muscle tendants instead, there are also skin impressions from an animal that might be Dilophosaurus or Liliensternus in a sitting position that show feathers, this means that feathers could have originated early on in Theropods, and lastly a few Ornithischian dinosaurs have also been found with preserved feathers, with the new family tree that suggests a Theropod-Ornithischian relationship, this makes sense and suggests that feathers exist in both of these groups due to shared ancestry, meaning that they were ancestral to both of these groups and a synapomorphy of Ornithoscelidans, so all of this provides some supports for feathers being ancestral to Allosaurus, but evidence also shows that animals like Tyrannosaurus, Triceratops, or Edmontosaurus lost some, if not all of their feathers despite them being an ancestral trait of their groups, we have skin impressions from these animals that show scales, but it doesn't mean that all of them lost all of their feathers, the same could be suggested for Allosauroids as they got larger
I remember reading that they found a hatchling allosaurus with either impressions or fossilized skin (I forgot) that shows small snake-like scales on the back and bigger fish-like scales on the front.
The titanosaur at AMNH is Patagotitan mayorum (not an Argentinosaurus). You can read more about its discovery and naming here: www.amnh.org/explore/news-blogs/news-posts/meet-patagotitan-mayorum

Welcome (virtually) back! So glad you enjoyed it.
I love this tour and my favorite dinosaurs are the Tyrannosaurus rex, Allosaurus, Apatosaurus and Deinonychus.
As one chat participant mentioned, it would be good to have the narrator's window about 1/4 size and the subject of the tour 3/4. Thank you!

Hey guys! I'm from Brazil and this is my first time here and it's a great opportunity to visit AMNH 💖 I'm a huge fan! :))
So cool! We're thrilled you could join us virtually! Thanks so much for watching.

You should do more of these!

Mark Norell and Danny Barta should also host this livestream.
Also includes tours of The Hall of Saurischian Dinosaurs, The Hall of Ornithschian Dinosaurs, The Hall of Advanced Mammals, The Hall of Vetebrate Origins and The World of Dinosaurs: An Illustrated Tour, Dinosaurs: New Visions of a Lost World, Mesozoic Art and The End of the Megafuna exhibits.
Love it! Thanks for the tour! I promise I’ll find my way to this museum in the future 😊
What a nice tour!! Very interesting, thanks :)
So glad you enjoyed it-thanks for watching!
Very informative and fun tour. Too bad I missed it live but still very fun to see afterwards.
We're already planning our next hall tour! Let us know if there are halls that you'd particularly like to visit.
@@AmericanMuseumofNaturalHistory All of them!
@@AmericanMuseumofNaturalHistory I couldn't really choose I would love to see every one of them and I'd be happy with whatever you guys choose!
Second-great tour video. Thank you! Feed bird seed to the birds all year round (our modern day dinosaurs).
Our pleasure! We love both ancient and modern dinos! 🦖🦜
I love the museum !!!!
Good Job! Thank You!
Of course! We love doing these hall tours!
I'm from Brazil but, i want visit the museum.
You should create a virtual tour of The Hall of Ornithschian Dinosaurs
Excellent idea! It's definitely on the list. We're doing about one of these per month.
I love dinosaurs !
So do we!!!! 🦕🦖🦕🦖
Do you think the giant hell creek dromeosaurid is a chimera?
I love this video🦖🦕

I've been there today
Thanks for visiting! Hope you had a good time visiting the T. rex!

What species is the “titanosaur” and is it an argentinosaurus?
The titanosaur at AMNH is Patagotitan mayorum (not an Argentinosaurus). You can read more about its discovery and naming here: www.amnh.org/explore/news-blogs/news-posts/meet-patagotitan-mayorum
So, if trex was a scavenger , what was apex predator in North America?
Screen displays with new studies and maybe interactive iPads where kids can learn to read scientific articles for themselves?
