Siats meekerorum

[@freshoutofcrabs]

I like that even though you almost definitely knew what "ossified" and other terms that he used meant, you knew that many of us might not know what they meant and stopped to ask him to explain them. When you are an expert in your field it can be really easy to get excited and forget that jargon words may not be common terms for the layman. I love the enthusiasm that both of you have for your jobs and am extremely grateful for the knowledge and the outreach that you bring us. Keep up the fantastic work!

[@dangerouslytalented]

I always wait for the "it still has brains on it"...

[@StrongButAwkward]

No Brain Scoop vid would be complete without it.

[@Hammith]

lizbliz I feel like the time from the credits ending until the "it still has brains on it" keeps getting longer every video.

[@enticing_thorn]

One day they'll put something else at the end and we'll all freak out

[@Primarch19]

just imagine that there would still be brains on the dinosaur that would freak people out too i think.

[@woggie001]

Corvinus Maximus That's what I thought when I saw this episode. WHAT still has brains on it???? :)

[@Popebug]

Just when I thought the Brain Scoop couldn't get better, you bring in dinosaurs. I love this channel so much.

[@Baud2Bits]

A great new year's present from Emily and the Field Museum.

[@laurentignacio9924]

You now have to show us how they will display it ! Both how it's done and how it looks. Happy new year ! Long and happy life to the brainscoop,

[@TheAAMoy]

I still can not get away from the post of - "Emily, love your work and enthusiasm. Do you need anything from us to help your continued learning from science and the enthusiasm you have in all of your videos?"

[@romantheflash]

This was awesome, I never knew so much work went into preparing and discovering dinosaurs, nor that there were so many new species discovered each year. Awesome, thanks Emily.

[@randomnamegbji]

This is so awesome! Its so cool that emily got to work on a musem that actually does groundbreaking research.

[@rayhs1984]

Not only does she get to see awesome stuff like dinos. She is currently in Kenya studying bats.

[@randomnamegbji]

Wow I didn't know that. That's fantastic!

[@fasfan]

Entrance fee is $15 to the museum? Seriously? A lot of people pay about that to watch a 2 hour movie that only entertains them. You could spend all day in the museum expanding your mind instead. That's awesome!!!

[@Popebug]

Also, there's 100% more dinosaur bones inside the museum than at the movie theater. So that's a clear advantage.

[@BeCurieUs]

Dinosaurs on the first day of the year?!!? This is going to be an awesome year!

[@rayhs1984]

Yes it is. She just flew to Kenya for a "From the Field" video on bat research.

[@TheEntroseth]

Raymond Smith Bats? Hell yeah!

[@BrokenPointeShoes]

Raymond Smith Kenya! wow!

[@chuckbackus2712]

2:42 "What does that mean?" Thank you for asking questions like these for us.

[@Ropenmatsu]

I followed sci show and recently only just 'discovered' brain scoop myself. I've already freaked through so many of these videos and because of you I'm planning a visit to Chicago one day! I don't live in the U.S but hopefully I will be able to go.. Thanks Emily! :)

[@MichaelPomeroyinmauritania]

Great job Brain Scoop! now for the rest of the dinos at the field museum. Maybe like an extended mini series.... Just go ahead and change the name of the show to Dino Scoop.

[@stephupurlyf]

I love the idea that dinosaurs may have had feathers. The illustration is fantastic. I want that on my wall!

[@fatimac5253]

lasschesteven O.O :D Wow!

[@Vardagaladhiel]

I grew up on a steady diet of dinosaur documentaries but I had no idea that there were still so many new dinosaurs being discovered! Another fascinating episode!

[@thecityalive]

I've always wondered how an illustration is developed after finding such fragmented information. What dictates its color, the texture on its skin, the exterior scaling, etc. Remarkable findings, friends!

[@TheEntroseth]

I'm not sure on all the details, but I do know that one thing that some professionals look at for the coloration is looking at some of the coloration of modern birds living in climates similar to the believed climate of the time and location of the dinosaur in question and coloring the depiction with that information in mind. We've found a couple incidents of stone that had fossilized around the scales of a carcass forming a impression fossil. That's given us some good insight to how many dinosaurs' scales appeared.

[@ethancowgill6142]

We can look at relatives! This is a close relative of Allosaurus, and Allosaurus is known from many good skulls and skeletons so we can assume through evolutionary logic that the skeleton looked like a larger, later model of Allosaurus. From that, we have to see more fossils of related forms. Some dinosaurs are so well preserved that even patches of skin are petrified, like in the dinosaur Carnotaurus. And many dinosaurs from China are so intact that we can see fossilized feathers around the skeleton. With an understanding of evolution and modern animal physiology, and color, the paleoartist can then make reasonable assumptions pertaining to the outside of the dinosaur including color. Of course, if someone found a more complete Siats and the interpretation was proven incorrect, then through the magic of the digital medium the artist can morph the artpiece to fit the new look. (I REALLY LIKE DINOSAURS) #science

[@HerbieHerbHerb]

The Animal Planet needs a new show. The Brain Scope! Seriously, this show needs to be out there.

[@ragnkja]

Happy new year to the Brain Scoop team!

[@kght222]

thanks for the new year gift, lee newton likely has her face plastered to the screen watching this.

[@My2ndnephew]

How interesting! I love the detail that I wouldn't get many other places. I feel that it's 'hands on' history. Love it! Great editing, too.

[@MasterBace]

Incredible find! Thanks so much for another great video!

[@nohaijiachii]

OMG NEW BRAIN SCOOP YAY!!! I'm always fascinated by how people can tell so much from a bunch of what looks like, to me, vaguely rock shaped... thingies. Science, man.

[@christinameneses3943]

That question about caterpillars --> butterflies is one I've been curious about, so I'm glad Emily explained it. Amazing!

[@KnaveMurdok]

NEW DINOSAURS?? Happy ACTUAL New Years, guys!!

[@greennickiemouse]

Now we know this is going to be a great year, I mean DINOSAURS! You have to admit that dinosaurs are so exciting and it's unbelievable how much we can still learn about them. Loved the video!

[@liealways]

can not wait to make it to the field hope i can visit soon

[@hkwhsu]

A New Year and a new dinosaur, Brilliant!

[@MartinOckovsky]

Wow. Great stuff! Thank you very much.

[@Will140f]

Another excellent video!

[@joshuawright7246]

Man I wish I could go to the Field Museum again... I used to go all the time as a kid but I'm so far away now

[@OWorthyFool]

The 8-year-old Me who was obsessed with dinosaurs is FASCINATED by this... Science is awesome.

[@bjnordic]

Emily your job seams like so much fun. Great Vid.

[@demianhaki7598]

On to a new year of awesomeness!

[@TteokbokkiKing]

Dinosaurs and paleontology were my first explorations into science! More, please!

[@joelcrow5183]

I love how Soon Raccoon now has a cameo in every video.

[@Mrmannyguy]

So I heard you on radio lab. Glad to see your getting exposure

[@kitsumi9360]

I want to go to the field museum and also meet you Emily!! Huge fan here haha

[@saultshaker]

Just heard you on Radiolab. Still awe-inspiring as ever. Stay awesome!

[@ivanclark2275]

I heard you on Radiolab the other day! That's so cool!

[@john_hunter_]

Yay more dinosaur stuff please.

[@ltericdavis2237]

Paleontology FTW!! Thank you for this awesome look at a new discovery. I've been thinking about possibly going into paleontology, but after hearing the "100 hours of lab work to 1 hour of field work" and "looking for days at a time" I think... No, wait, actually, it would still be better than a desk job. :)

[@margaretguillory]

OOh saw the raccoon! Hope he learned as much as we did.

[@brookel1750]

Aww man that is AWESOME!

[@TheEntroseth]

I was forming a scientific inquiry and then Soon Raccoon peeped at the camera halfway through the video and completely destroyed my train of thought. Thanks a ton Soon Raccoon.

[@PrehistoryNerd]

Whooho! Dinosaurs! I love prehistoric life! Could you maybe put out more stuff on prehistoric life?

[@zhubajie6940]

Emily as always the top Science KZbin on the internet. I've questions and suggestions though which you may want to clarify with screen annotations. 1. You should put in a note to say Sue is the Tyrannosaur in the main hall, not everybody has been there or read about her. I always wondered what happened to the Albertosaurus/Gorgosaurus (I can't remember now which one it was, I always thought they should have been the same genus) 2. I missed or didn't hear the age perhaps Early Cretaceous? 3. You mentioned megaraptor so is it Dromaeosaurinae and since it was from Utah, is it similar to Utahraptor which I would think the word megaraptor would apply?

[@EmmaLeeHD]

When he said that we are in a "renaissance of dinosaur paleontology", I immediately got excited for Ross Geller.

[@SuperPrettyCOLORS]

Despite the fall in viewership I think you all are doing a fabulous job! I love seeing videos like this!! I love thinking about what Niel Shubin has taught me and applying it to videos on youtube and seeing such interesting things!

[@TSouL22]

Can't tell the difference between those rocks. Props to the experts

[@tumblenc]

this is so cool! I want to visit the field museum sometime.

[@NowanInparticular]

This is 1 of those shows that will always have brains on it

[@allieatwood]

Next time I'm in Chicago I'm stopping by!

[@MissingSirius]

Wow, I had no idea how often new dinosaurs were found. Crazy.

[@cellogirl0096]

A new species! That's so awesome!

[@jesusVSsanta]

Great video, I love this channel, keep it up.

[@awesomefinder5431]

When he said business end my first thought was "How would a cloaca stay preserved that long?"

[@JohnDoe-ir5pe]

Awesome show! Love the polka dots. :D

[@JuliaT1DRunner]

This is one of the coolest videos on The Brain Scoop :-) There should totally be more dinosaur (and gem room) videos :-)

[@terralynn9]

Do you ever stop and think things like, "I'm holding a dinosaur's toe" and wonder how this is real life?

[@mustardsfire22]

Anyone else notice Soon Raccoon on the counter behind Emily and Peter?

[@TheWittyChan]

really loved this one! Give us more fossil stuff!

[@mickeymouse12678]

Man I wish I could visit this place.

[@toastsandwich]

hey I heard you on the recent radiolab podcast and I thought it was awesome!

[@SFGJP]

Thanks for reminding me to check RadioLab haha

[@robotturkey2929]

I need to check that out.

[@potatobuddyWI]

Emily should do a video with James May. I feel like they have a very similar fashion sense, and I think they'd get along great!

[@jsf917]

You could probably have got more views if you'd titled this NEW DINOSAUR DISCOVERY!!!!! or something, but you didn't and I kind of like that. Love the channel and the community around it, thank you.

[@PhilGartman]

New year, new dinosaur. Fantastic.

[@DJMJRyder]

so good, I wanna rub this episode on my tummy

[@marklewis662]

I would so love to go to that museum, :D

[@eaglebreath5]

I'd like to add a question to the growing list in the comments. Why are the bones so dark coloured? Also are all fossils the same colour and is colouration what paleontologists look for when observing the outcroppings? Loved this video!

[@johndinh22]

Great scoop! I love the dinosaur collection at the Field Museum. The camera guy gives me a little headache with all the choppy zooming back and forth though! Thanks!

[@unepommeverte17]

my friend (who's still an undergrad) managed to get a position with this guy and MET EMILY and i just...so jealous.

[@danielhallriggins9008]

Time after time, Emily keeps asking people the questions that pop in my head. It's kinda freaky.

[@Alex_Off-Beat]

Siats meekerorum is no name for a Dinosaur. You need to give it an awesome name like the Fluffy Megaraptor or Badassaurus Rex.

[@adventure6553]

What about allosaurus+ yknow because it looks like an allo,fck

[@mickeymouse12678]

And wow those are some large bones!

[@dinoho8950]

To Vsauce, ASAPSci, MinutePhysics, BrainScoop etc. QUESTION: Is it possible to create a portal or does 1 exist? When I say portal, I mean when you put your hand through it, the hand is literally at another place or dimension BUT the body not in contact with it still remains at wherever it is. LIKE IF YOU WANT IT TO BE ANSWERED! :)

[@train256]

am i the only one who waits for the "it still has brains on it" part every time I watch a brainscoop video?

[@eastermars]

EMILY THIS IS KOOL I'M 48 AND LOVE WHAT YOUR DOING KEEP IT UP

[@jonnyhan1979]

Hopefully there will be a Sue the T-Rex episode in the future.

[@gabrielleb74]

That is really cool >.< !

[@ljmastertroll]

Emily does the Safety Dance at 0:59.

[@mysss29]

Love the Sue references. 3:40 SOON

[@JasonWeakley]

OMG I said it right without even knowing what it was!!!

[@lahdeedah87]

I fucking love dinosaurs!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@pscheidt]

I was hoping that it was Slats instead of Siats. It would have been a great homage to the late Slats Grobnick.

[@celeluwhen]

Could we see some of the dinosaur bone preparation? Please?

[@ianndurocher7925]

Fossilized stuff is much easier to stomach :p In any case, keep up the good work :p

[@macadona123]

Loved this, more paleontology please :D

[@kiitttenzuzu7600]

It's so cute how shy scientists are about confirming that all modern birds are still in the same scientific family as dinosaurs, and are, completely, by all means, still dinosaurs. Not just "descendants of dinosaurs" "came from dinosaurs" or "used to be dinosaurs"; they ARE dinosaurs and dinosaurs are most definitely /not/ extinct. Ancient ancestral dinosaurs are extinct, but so are ancient ancestral humans. That doesn't mean humans are extinct. Some of them from ancient times are not around. It's the same way with birds. A t-rex is just a really long-time-ago bird. It's SO CUTE though because this is very NEW information to become standard fact and these scientists just seem so meek about admitting it and I smile a little when I hear new scientific specials try to reel back on the whole "dinosaurs are extinct" and explain that they are not. Our understanding of the world is always changing. And it makes me smile knowing how quick we are to jump to conclusions. We're really a quite silly species.

[@FranticCashew]

How deep are most fossils that we have found? Like surface level?

[@lasschesteven]

Where ever we notice them. Usually that's surface level, but Mosasaurus, for example, was discovered in a mine. Quarries are also a good place to look.

[@FranticCashew]

Mecha Dibernardi lasschesteven Thank you :)

[@loran1212]

And to deepen what Mecha explained, this also why it generally is easier finding fossils in geologically active areas with earthquakes and mountains, as the layers there are more jumbled, whereas, in really flat regions you hardly ever find any because they are so far below ground, that you don't know where to look.

[@vickylikesthis]

EMILY, I heard you on RadioLab!

[@CardboardCreative]

"Have you been inside the museum?/ We should go/ Meet the dinosaurs"

[@andrewwinn5829]

China: The world's leading producer of...dinosaurs.

[@MatthewAndrews1982]

Geez, everything really is made in China huh!

[@danpavlov]

As you questioned, is this video educational enough, the answer is probably - no. It gives us, subscribers, a unique experience in such areas, where most of us would never get a chance to work in. However, I think you could improve them by providing a bit more scientific information like names, functions and interesting facts about different part of the body that you are dissecting, Please don't get me wrong, I think your videos, channel and you are awesome! Just giving a small tip, hope it will help. You probably are not asking for one, but anyway, thank you for your consideration.

[@LooseGarmentGirl]

I wish I lived closer to go to the Field Museum. i would spend days there.

[@Tjousk]

I haven't yet a decent enough boat, or enough savings, to get to the field museum...

[@freesalute]

Excellent hand position

[@shannonwhorton7124]

I LIKE YOUR OUTFIT EM!!!!!

[@enginerd1985]

Emily, you're my favorite! "$15, new to science!"

[@boxpuncher1920]

How can you tell if its not a juvenile or an adult of another species as opposed to a new species? Thanx love the channel!!

[@Tjousk]

@freshoutofcrabs - Indeed, even those of us that do understand appreciate a decent re-stating.
