How Geography Started the Jurassic

[@xasleyter]

Found out about this fact a little while back, and immediately thought about this channel: "Most of the world's bodies of water are less than 18,000 years old. There are only 20 ancient lakes over 1 million years old." Lake Baikal is the most famous of these, and you've already talked about it, but the stories of each of the rest of them are just as interesting

Despite the popularity of the word Jurassic, the Cretaceous seems to be getting most of the attention cuz most of the newly discovered dinosaurs nowadays come from that period. So it’s nice to see a video focus on the Jurassic (and Triassic) in great detail.

[@Konservator69]

Word "Jurassic" is mainly popular because of Jurassic Park movies. Funny thing is the vast majority of dinosaurs featured there were actually from Cretaceous.

One thing find extreamly fascinating and that is not very much talked about, is that during that hot age when the poles where temperate, it would have been an even more alien world there than just differnt life. Because at the high tatitudes you basically get a year long day and night cycle. A summer in which the sund never sets, and a winter that´s a night that does not stop. That must have been absolutely fascinating.

[@dontworry4945]

I can imagine that would explain the prevalence of deciduous trees across the world. Why keep leaves if the dry season is permanent night?? And the predators would most certainly need to evolve mechanisms like tapetum lucidum like cats, because a 3 month long night is a dangerously long time to be blind.

[@daniell1483]

This last year, I've been consuming natural history videos like my life depended on it, and this video helped plug some of the gaps I had in my understanding. Mass extinctions are scary, but in a way, they've seemed to act as a means of resetting the biological status quo, letting different groups of animals all get their time to shine. I wish some pterosaurs managed to survive, they seem so freaking cool.

[@AlyssarWoW]

Thanks for the great video. Quick addendum to the part about ocean acidification: Not only the sulfur from volcanic eruptions caused the pH to drop, but also the CO2 itself. When CO2 dissolves in water, part of it turns into carbonic acid, which lowers the pH. This is the main reason why ocean pH has dropped from 8.25 to 8.14 between 1750 and now.

[@valentinmalinin]

No matter how many times I've learned about it, still nice to listen this topic again.

[@brycenew]

Love how this speaks to some of the changes we currently see in the global biosphere. And that whatever disturbances the Anthropocene creates, including our own possible extinction, new forms of life will emerge. Maybe even dinosaur-like creatures will rule the world again.

[@ScottysHaze]

I would replace the words "possible extinction" with "probable extinction".

[@ajmentel2453]

Yeah, there are some startling parallels between our time and the T-J transition. I think the scary thing is the difference in timescales - a couple centuries, speaking generously (more like a couple decades) vs the span of several million years. Only the hardiest and most generalist species will survive the anthropocene, even if we are able to turn the trends around overnight. With multiple projects seeking to genetically de-extinct species which humans drove to extinction, it is certainly the most "interesting" time for evolutionary history that's ever existed. The Tree of Life is going to get very fucky, very quickly.

[@organicsatanic]

I agree, the parallels to anthropogenic climate change were haunting. realistically though, humans are uniquely adaptable to different environments among living species and will likely be able to adapt to new niches most effectively, probably alongside other very adaptable species like rats

[@dogetaxes8893]

@@ScottysHaze Maybe over a period of a few million years it’s “probable” humans are easily one of the most adaptable species. For god sakes we literally inhabit almost every climate zone.

I love your videos. No pesky Brit accents to distress/amuse me (and thus distract me from the subject matter) but solid info. Kudos, and thank you! This subject absolutely fascinates me! Starting from the first James Michener novel I read, back in the 70s, and have loved learning the most minute details of our planet and how it's made, what makes it run, ever since. One of your vids I particularly enjoyed was the one with WAYYYYYY more water than has ever been on Earth, because at one point I had a story idea along those lines; I tried to flesh it out using a topographic map that I scanned in (it was LOOOOONG before the www), and then manipulated photographically in various ways. I think what derailed that entire train of thought was 9/11; after that I just sat in a comfy chair and read Regency romances for a couple years, I was so traumatized just from seeing it on TV.

[@botortamas]

I remember watching walking with dinosaurs as a kid and the first episode was in the Triassic. They gave a quick mention of the extinction level event that waved in the age of the dinosaurs but this video basically sums it up in detail. So basically the splitting up of the Americas and Africa/Eurasia caused ripple effects through millions of years that caused the collapse of the entire bio chain. Regarding as to why the dinos survived and other major groups died out its quite easy to see from that first episode of walking with dinosaurs that those mini raptors were on another level to the rest of the sluggish and oversized reptiles. Although I still find it hard to believe that 90% of life died out during that time.

[@tjarkschweizer]

You appear to have confused the Triassic-Jurassic-extinction and the Permian-Triassic-extinction with each other. The later is the one were over 90% of all life died. Also, you are aware that walking with dinosaurs is extremely outdated at this point right? As entertaining as it is, you should not treat what it depicts as fact.

[@botortamas]

@@tjarkschweizer yes I’m aware that it’s 20+ years old. And it’s still the best representation of those time periods. I’m talking about the 250-225mlyrs ago boundary that was the Triassic to Jurassic period.

[@bkjeong4302]

Walking with Dinosaurs was actually WRONG about how dinosaurs were “on another level” than all the other animals. They WEREN’T. The “inferior” animals like the rauisuchians were NOT “sluggish and oversized”, the documentary made that up to make the dinosaurs look better. In reality the pseudosuchians including the rauisuchians had all the same advantages that the dinosaurs did, up to and including being warm-blooded and even bipedal in some cases. It’s actually one of the worst Triassic representations ever, not even remotely close to the best.

[@Fede_99]

I would like to point out some errors that I saw in this video. First of all, the first 20 seconds are a bit misleading, 150 mya was the end of the Jurassic period, you should've said 200 instead, since it's the very start of the Jurassic. Also, at 2:15 you threw a bunch of names and made too much confusion with their taxonomy: - Phytosaurs, Trilophosaurus, Drepanosaurus and Tanystropheus are not archosaurs (not every Triassic reptile is an archosaur...) - Rauisuchia is a clade containing many of different archosaurs, not just one animal. - Then Crocodylomorpha is an enormous clade which also includes Aetosaurs and Rauisuchia - Ornithosuchus is an archosaur, while all the others I didn't mentioned are also archosaurs. And then as others pointed out, at 7:49 you say that those animals went extinct, but it's not true: - Temnosondyls survived until the Early Cretaceous around 120 mya, so not all of them went extinct, also Lepidosaurs never went extinct, all living reptiles that are not crocodiles, turtles or the Tuatara are Lepidosaurs. I see there's a lot of work in your videos but the fact that in most of your videos where you briefly talk about extinct stuff there are always some errors that can be easily avoided by making a bit more research. I don't know if you'll see this comment but next time you'll want to make a video regarding these topics, it would be better to check your informations and sources, cause your other videos regarding others topics are very well done, like the video on the Hawaii, my personal favorite. Hope this will help you improve your future works.

1:32 It would be somewhat misleading to think of the formation of Pangaea as the defining event of the Triassic considering that Pangaea was actually formed earlier, perhaps by the Carboniferous, and was already in place by the Permian at any rate. Indeed, one of the suggested causes for the end-Permian mass extinction which marked the beginning of the Triassic is that the formation of Pangaea might have reduced and exposed coastal ecosystems leading to a decline in marine life.

[@Tatusiek_1]

Nope, end of the permian was caused by a large magma plume, a massive flood basalt eruption. The remnants being the siberian traps. Maybe the end of the carboniferous has more to do with the formation of pangaea because the carboniferous ended with the large rainforest collapse which could be due to mass desertification due to all the landmasses coming together?

[@challalla]

@@Tatusiek_1 The Siberian Traps eruptions are indeed likely to be the primary reason for the end-Permian extinction event, but given the severity of the ecological collapse several contributing factors have been suggested including the formation of Pangaea and the resultant reduction in shallow marine environments. I'll quote from the abstract of "Carboniferous-Permian paleogeography of the assembly of Pangaea" by R.C. Blakey: "Epicontinental seas retreated from the elevated Pangaean landmass resulting in diminished shallow marine environments - a possible early event that may have contributed to the great Permo-Triassic extinction event."
