I always think about how early Native Americans must have turned a corner, and observed a giant skull, with huge, sharp teeth, and wonder if such a monster is lurking around the bend. I believe these fossil discoveries by early man, are where the "dragon" myths originated.

I'm an aquatics biologist that regularly works on Fort Peck, including the Hell Creek arm. I can't imagine how wild it must have been during the cretaceous. It's a wild place even today.

[@FukyurTvest]

I work on the shoreline of fort peck spraying salt cedar, I can tell you the amount of ammonite fossils we find is absolutely crazy. I found one that was about 2 feet around a few year's ago. I also work down in a piece of land locked blm ground outside of glendive and to get to it without permission you'd need a helicopter. We get to drive into it and there's an old prehistoric river it's a creek now, but the amount of petrified wood there is insane. I also found 2 chuncks of agitized (spelling?) root wad, one was about 30 pounds the other was 27, I turned them into coasters, lol.

[@FukyurTvest]

We've also walked over a t-rex skull and didn't even know it, and then we have a project in powderville and we work on the dinosaur ranch, and that I think 32 sections oc ranch has a ton of dinosaur fossils on it. He regularly digs them up

[@kyachdistent1301]

I'm still waiting for someone to clear the mystery of Pachycephalosaurus's size is, as before 1994, it was depicted as a massive ornithopod that compared with the largest duckbills, and bigger than Tyrannosaurus. Suddenly the previously "man-sized" closely-related Stegoceras was now tiny, and Pachycehalosaurus was the one barely man-sized. Yet STILL in a glass case on display in London's Natural History Museum is it's massive head, a skull so large that no neck and shoulders of a man-sized creature could POSSIBLY heft it around. A 4 metre long dino with a head the equivalent of an Edmontosaurus size?! WTF?!

They don't know some J park stuff from other dinos (lol neither do I, I'm more into pre or post synapsid, I could care less about dinos but I should learn) Is this a reputable channel?

Or even had a pouch to carry eggs.

Couldn't the pachysaurus have used its head as an offensive tool against larger predators by attacking their legs or ankles? I imagine a direct hit from a flanking patchysaurus could have broken some bones or severely slowed down a large predator. Especially if they were herd animals The threat of flanking patchysaurus might have been a significant threat to predators which had limited side vision and more forward focused predatory field of vision.

Many pterosaurs were around at the same time, with genera such as Quetzalcoatlus (USA), Hatzegopteryx (Romania) and Barbaridactylus (Morocco) living across the world at the same time as Tyrannosaurus and Triceratops, just before the extinction event. Hope this helps.

[@thehowlingjoker]

We know many of the dinosaurs did have feathers. We just don't have evidence to indicate it for all species.

[@Chris-ew7pb]

Yeah, a lot did have feathers and bright colors actually. There's tons of evidence to support both the T-Rex and the Velociraptor had feathers, though the T-Rex had feathers similar to elephant hairs, thick and fluffy when born, and spreading out as they grew up. It's even believed the arms of a T-Rex was covered in feathers, used for mating purposes and to appear more intimidating, similar to the ostriches we have today.

Since conditions have to be just right at just the right moment in time for something to fossilize and for us to find today, just imagine how many different species of dinosaurs, fish, birds and mammals etc there have been that we will never know about because all evidence of their existence has been destroyed completely.
