Prehistoric life never ceases to amaze me.

Weirdly enough I first learned about Arthropleura from the old Nigel Marven series 'Prehistoric Park' Nostalgic

@patrick_j_lee Ай бұрын

Same here!

Almost included an image from the series when talking about depictions of the Carboniferous, but couldn't find a decent one showing all of what I wanted.

I consider Paleontology one of the worlds greatest "art forms"... From the planning, digging, problem solving, reconstructing, and hypothesizing... It's all such a delicate dance.

I feel very lucky to live in a time where we can know so much about our planets history

Unfortunately it pays like an art form.....

Wow! I would love to see a live specimen (from a safe distance).

@kirksealls1912 Ай бұрын

Is 290 million years a safe enough distance?

@nightlasher Ай бұрын

It was believed to be a herbivore but it probably still attack if it felt threatened

Love your channel! You are great at making people like me understand everything paleontology, and I really appreciate that. It’s also one of my favorite topics so that makes it even better of course :) I hope you’re doing great with your newborn-ish baby! It must be hard to both juggle this channel (alongside reading up on all the new science etc) and then simultaneously managing the joys and exhaustion of being a parent. Much respect to you guys

@RaptorChatter Ай бұрын

Not just baby and the channel, but research too! There's been a lot going on!

Thanks for covering Arthropleura!

Thanks for the video!

@ExousíaTM Ай бұрын

My favourite prehistoric invertebrate along with megeneura!

Microtopography, you said? Amazing images are presented here! What a potential tool! More details, easier (?) studies! Show us more!

I love these things. Paleozoic is my fave era

@AncientWildTV Ай бұрын

this video is super informative and visually engaging! i appreciate the effort you put into explaining something as fascinating as Arthropleura. but honestly, i can't help but wonder if the dramatic depiction of its size is a bit exaggerated? sure, it was massive, but it seems like every new discovery tends to get amplified for the sake of views. just a thought!

@Ryodraco Ай бұрын

I get what you're saying, but to clarify, as far as I'm aware the upper size estimates for Arthropleura have been pretty consistent for quite a few years. This new discovery didn't change that, as it was of a smaller specimen.

@tonyevans9999 Ай бұрын

That's amazing, I'm only just getting into the carboniferous more. Fascinating, especially the arthropod oxygen balancing act

@Carlos-bz5oo Ай бұрын

Recent studies show the oxygen levels didn't contribute, but rather the absence of large land vertebrates

@thedarkmasterthedarkmaster Ай бұрын

I appreciate the mentioning of Mississippian. Arthropleura's head was sure strange

@RaptorChatter Ай бұрын

The thing is it really only seems like Europe and a few other places which don't have a Mississippian and Pennsylvanian. A lot of places outside of the US seem to have them, so it's just a bias of the geological record in different places.

@thedarkmasterthedarkmaster Ай бұрын

@@RaptorChatter yeah it's strangely a genuine instance of eurocentrism that I don't know why is ignored. Honestly a good compromise would be to call the period the Carboniferous but make the two subdivisions the Mississippian and Pennsylvanian.
