Paleo Profile - Bunch of Prehistoric Fish

I'm finally back after such a long break. I've been really busy and I try to make these vids when I can. In this video I discuss a few almost-mythical prehistoric fish that actually existed in Earth's past. I discuss a few famous ones like Megalodon and Heliocoprion to a few obscure ones like the giant fish of the Kem Kem which where the food of Spinosaurus. Hope you enjoy!

[@TREYtheExplainer]

*Major Correction: In the video I refer to the Kem Kem Formation as the location of Stromer's giant fish and dinosaur fossils; however, I mixed up the Kem Kem Formation with the Bahariya Formation. I actually meant to say the Bahariya Formation. The two formations are dated to basically the same time period, had very similar fauna, and were close to each other geographically, but nonetheless they are two different formations and I made a mistake.

Finally, someone has said what I have always thought. I was always annoyed at the idea of megalodon just being a giant supper sized great white. It just baffled me that people thought something so boring was cool. It is far more interesting to me to ponder the idea of a gigantic shark with a living ecosystem on its back and possibly an appearance that was different from any other shark today. Maybe it is just me, but this shark is way more exciting to me now.

[@Fumango]

Sounds like a scp

[@butterskywalker8785]

it is an scp,a collective of fish,when a fish is damaged the entire population which consists of a large variety of species will get affected,also small fish can melt to heal the larger army fish,they can melt into one gooey monster than feeds on organic and non-organic substances,and it has enough intelligence to have complex speech,and it seems to evolve very quickly as they reproduce each time food is acquired,and they seem to be highly adaptive and basically even controlling their own evolution by changing their own dna in unknown means

ScionStorm Oh yeah good point. I also loved how they potrayed Auroarus's (the amargasaurus) sail theory as being an auroara. Out of all the sauropods they chose the underated Amargasaurus. Gamefreak isnt running out of ideas

[@shortfuse875]

Unofficial Gamplays Indeed. All the alolan starters are pretty popular, no one gets left forgotten. And the concept of Ultra Beasts, Tapus and other pokemon like Mimikyu and Alolan Forms prove that Gamefreak still has ideas.

[@Ditidos]

The fossil Pokémon have always been really original, and they sometimes make references that are for paleontological nerds only. In fact I think that part of the anomalocaris fame is due to the Pokémon anorith. I wish that they made the fossil Pokémon using much more unpopular creatures like the did in gen 3.

Great video Trey! Interesting fact: the specimen that finally cracked the Helicoprion mystery was actually not a new discovery, the fossil had been sitting in the museum's basement for over 60 years! Traces of cartilage had been found in the specimen during the 50's, which is how scientists knew the whorl was somewhere on the bottom jaw, but it wasn't until 2013 that a new research team used modern CT scanning and 3D rendering to put it all together and accurately see what the whole jaw looked like. I recommend the book "Resurrecting the Shark" by Susan Ewing, it's a great read about the mystery of Helicoprion

I was actually talking to my science teacher once about how I thought that it was stupid how almost every art piece of Megalodon looked more great white-like than I thought it should. And she responded by saying that that is what paleontologists do (use comparisons with living animals to do reconstruct extinct ones). So we kept on arguing for a little bit longer(I thought that there should still be more diverse reconstructions since Megalodon is not a true great white, and I thought that this was just unhealthy science to only restore Megalodon in one unconfirmed, close-minded manner), and then she did concede that it was a little bit lazy. Glad you could show me some unique Megalodon reconstructions, and this is just a great video in general! Glad to see you once again.

I visited them with my dad about a month ago, and he won't shut up about how the godless paleontologists are lying about the human footprints being fakes and misidentifications. I'd correct him myself, but his comments have revealed such a long, tangled chain of basic misconceptions about how the entire fields of both geology and paleontology work, I don't even know where to begin.

I've taken a few pages from how Subnautica went about their designs as well as Star wars. Not sure if these animals would be possible but they are still fun to draw.

You are right. Google Translate confirmed.

[@noranomics]

I feel like this has served as an excuse to watch chased by sea monsters again

[@DoubIoons]

Two years ago, Trey couldn't pronounce Onchopristis. Look at our dude now.

[@TREYtheExplainer]

XD I've grown so much, I can pronounce a single word

[@larslionheart]

Well that is the most badass take on creation I’ve ever heard

[@elbreadroh]

16:45 You think those puns were bad? THEN PREPARE FOR PREHISTORIC HELL. I knew there was something FISHY about Leedsichthy's exaggerated size. Helicoprion's spiral jaw is JAWsome to look at. Its something I should someday SINK MY TEETH INTO. Spinosaurus's spines make my SPINE TINGLE. If Trey decides he likes Jurassic World 2, then he would be a TREYTOR. i feel so alone...

[@archysimpson2273]

don't feel alone you have as the comment section i.imgflip.com/fhyt5.jpg < you will never get rid of as

[@derptank3308]

Bread King The last one is very bad The other ones are just horrible attempts

[@elbreadroh]

Derptank Ya they were bad on purpose

[@thepip3599]

Imagine being the scientist to find that whirl of teeth. My first question would be “what the heck am I looking at?” My second question would be “Whyyyyyy?”

[@Autumn_Actually]

Always good to see another video. Hope your winter season and its holidays are going well!

[@ThatGuy-a48]

Saw this just pop in my feed. I'm not the first but close.

[@flopdude1495]

I've been watching you since early June and that same week i watched all your videos keep up the good work.

[@zacimusprime4865]

You should do a live stream talking about megaldon wasn’t the Permian extinction also known as the great dying

[@caddincaddin8552]

You should do a Q and A! I'd love to know more about you than Like, what got you into studying paleontology? What's the craziest thing you've seen/heard of?

[@absurdragon]

outdated spinosaurus art! yessss!

[@davidkarowski9100]

LOLOLOL that 1 frame picture of the Chimera Ants from Hunter X Hunter got me

[@aylmaoxdxddd5687]

Welcome back, I really enjoy your videos.

[@TREYtheExplainer]

Thanks man! I'm happy you enjoyed it ;)

[@lukewertz3795]

hey trey have you seen ark: survival evolved's leedsichthys cause i measured it (took me an hour) and it was 175 feet and the "alpha" being 230 feet

[@cernunnos_lives]

I wonder if there was any highly intelligent cephalopods back in the past? There seems to be a great diversity of their predators. My assumption is that there were even more species and types of cephalopods we don't have remains of. I'm sure at many points in time, the seas must have been swarming with all kinds.

[@DSFII]

can your next cryptozoology video be about Bigfoot?

[@Shigeru0508]

long story short: tuned out all known Yeti evidences are from bears or fake

[@meren6856]

DSFII Bigfoot is a basking shark lol

[@DSFII]

M Eren lol

[@voidpuppy5145]

It's an owl

[@roniruadap3049]

The Helicoprion looks so dope! What wicked teeth structure they have!

[@zennyfieldster4220]

Maybe Megalodon was a giant cookie cutter shark!!! Ever thought about that!!!

[@zennyfieldster4220]

Joshua Giesey I wasn't serious about it, but just imagine a shark like it. It still sucks that we don't really know what it looks like.

[@zennyfieldster4220]

Joshua Giesey I know. Either we will one day or we won't ever. It is believed that we have only just discovered about 1-5% of all prehistoric life. Trey says it in another video.

[@EVOLUTIONINCARNATE]

yes, and it is obviously a lamniforme

[@hypernic6920]

YES! I didn’t expext to wake to this but what do you know? And wow that beginning art was amazing!

[@agisuru]

15:04 there he is....... the pog fish

[@dashflores7118]

Make a paleo profile about mammoths, giganthopithecus or quetzalcoatlus or a cryptid profile about bigfoot!
