"Wikipedia is not a source!" said the high school teacher, but nobody bothered to use the sources at the bottom of the wiki page.

[@RaptorChatter]

Honestly it's a great start, cause even the few citations on wiki still have dozens more citations. I will skim wikis for subjects I'm unfamiliar with, and then check the papers that sound like they connect to subjects I'm better with, and then grow it out from there.

[@christophercorrell4525]

@@RaptorChatter That's how I used Wiki when I was in school. I haven't written a paper or debate case since, but wiki is still number one for deep rabbit holes. I kind of miss it! Thanks for another great video, by the way! I'm always excited to see a new one get posted.

[@JFStandhope]

Once again, I want to thank you for doing these compilation videos! It's obvious you care a LOT about getting this info out here to us curious layfolk! I'm really excited about how much info is coming out about the pseudosuchians, my new favorite prehistoric group!

[@RaptorChatter]

It is a service to the paleo community. That's how I have to feel about it. But for the community, and for my ability to teach in the future I think it is very valuable to have as a resource. Also with any luck I'll be able to tell y'all about pseudosuchian research from a personal standpoint, though that may be a ways off for now.

[@Shaden0040]

climatologist is study on the loop crater after effects and what he and his team found was that at the site of the impact a massive hurricane was formed that lasted at least five to ten years After the impact just from the heat of the impact alone and the inner rushing seawater which was vaporized for a long time.

[@Piperdogloveshats]

23:11 I’ve always thought it would be interesting to learn more more about pre paleontology paleontology! Even if it’s just anecdotal. Great work as always!

[@RaptorChatter]

I agree. Some indigenous groups in North America would use crinoid stalk pieces as necklace beads. They were clearly aware of fossils, and hopefully this puts it into better context. Even per-colonial Europe had knowledge of local fossils, so it's not unique. Everyone is capable of finding things out about the world, it's just the conditions of the last 400 or so years that have shaped interpretations of who can do science.

[@alisav8394]

Great video! Not only is it engaging, it relly helps me relax after a tought day of work.

[@RaptorChatter]

Good to hear!

[@Zveebo]

Love these video - super useful, and I really appreciate the time you put into them. And in these times, it’s great to see someone actually taking the effort to summarise themselves what is most important in papers, and not just copy-pasting from somebody else’s work 👍

[@RaptorChatter]

We do our best to keep everyone up to date.

[@waywardscythe3358]

Excited for the eventual "stegosaur plates were for signalling availability for raft building to confuse paleontologists" paper

[@RaptorChatter]

They're such a pain. Because most of their fossils are from the late Jurassic, which the continents should have been moderately separated by then. But we get relations all over the continents, which means either they diversified and spread early, but quietly, only becoming common fossils later, or that the continents were a lot more linked (via land bridges or floods moving large mats animals could travel on) much more than expected for much later than expected. And based on fossils I've mentioned out of Iberia for the last few years I expect the latter, but we'd need some serious geology work to prove it.

I never comment anything but i have to say this is one of my fave paleontology channels❤

[@sixthousandblankets]

Loved this, I wish I could support you on Patreon, but my current financial situation doesn't allow. Great service anyway.

[@Pffmah]

Love your channel, thank you so much for all the information! (your t-rex gamer is hanging a bit wonky xd)

[@RaptorChatter]

Yeah, we're looking at renovating the background, so it must have gotten bumped

[@grantboardman7880]

Great review!

[@grantboardman7880]

you should do a short for the WAVP meeting.

[@RaptorChatter]

I don't know what I would talk about. Many didn't want to talk about what they are researching based on SVP, and while I didn't see many no social media posts I don't want to step on people's toes. Once I get my site done with Rob and Gavin I'll ask about the museum research as a whole. That said I am very excited to start doing more short form content, so if you're open to me talking about your Arizonaplano stuff I'd love to talk about it. I grew up right there so I love the current wild area.

[@grantboardman7880]

@@RaptorChatter fair enough. I'd love to talk about the Arizonaplano stuff with you in the future...especially when/if we get a paper out. 🐊🐢🐟

[@juliancarmichael3869]

Gondwana was the other one I forgot

[@juliancarmichael3869]

Imagine if Arkansas and Germany were neighbors

[@FirithPanda]

"Megalodon could have been larger." Man, am I sure glad they shrunk at least 32 times.

[@danielsutton2290]

These videos are amazing. I looked for some papers you have authored I could not find any. Can you refer us to your bibliography?

[@RaptorChatter]

Not yet, but I should have my first poster at a conference soon, and after that will be going to grad school, where I'll publish as much as I can.

[@danielsutton2290]

Best of luck. As a fellow Arizonian I must say your videos suggest you are already published!

[@Turdfergusen382]

It too bad Pangea broke up. They were my favorite group.

[@RaptorChatter]

Yo a band with a good group of friends named Pangaea could do great.

[@HidalinaB]

who would win in a fight ankylosarus vs triceratops who wins I know there animals but sometimes like rhino,elephant,buffalo,and hippo did fight each other for territory

[@jasonking3182]

I thought the news that terror bird fossils were found in Antarctica was both amazing and not surprising. I just imagine new species of them wanting to be discovered under the ice!

[@RaptorChatter]

There's frogs and things from there too. And thinking of the ice thawing, while worrying also has me excited about new discoveries about what warm Antarctica was.

[@evilcow666]

I remember people making a fuss about trex being as smart as a chimp. Now we have gone full circle. People really need not get so hyped with everything.

[@juliancarmichael3869]

Guess we always forget about Pangea if u don’t know “how or why” we can’t find the whole genome or don’t understand where how or why it is. it’s a puzzle missing the majority of pieces scattered in the street during a hurricane

[@HidalinaB]

Hello again, triceratops really a T. rex killer?

Do not fry, please! Most of democrats fry... And that unpleasant.
