This Tiny Horned Dinosaur Lived During The Most Dangerous Time On Earth...

Thanks to the parachute science of the early 1900s, much is known about some of the first forms of horned dinosaurs. These take the form of some of the most familiar Mongolian faces - Protoceratops and Psittacosaurus. However, in the century since these discoveries, many more have been made across Asia to fill in the gaps and stretch back the horned dinosaur evolutionary line to the Jurassic, with such fantastically adorable forms as Yinlong. However, none of these finds explain how these tiny little runners made it into North America and evolved into the largest horned dinosaurs to ever live. One find published in 2014 provides the best picture yet on what was going on with horned dinosaur evolution between Asia and North America.

Sadly, as a fossil preparator, your totally right......we are not paid, and if we are, its either a major grant or someones personal large donation, and even so, that money usually goes to major specimens to be prepped out, like rex.....there are so many fossils just sitting in jackets waiting to be uncovered, and sadly, not enough money, OR experienced professional preparators to prep them. Most fossils (especially smaller ones), cant just be prepped out by undergrads looking for lab time to graduate or random volunteers looking for something fun to do on the weekends

[@retard_activated]

I would LOVE to learn how to do this!!!!

It's amazing how many recognisable traits some of the basal forms had when they were creatures only the size of a small dog.

I have prospected in the Cloverly Formation in the Big Horn Basin before with a team from USNM. It has interbedded marine facies, that are chalk white. And chock full of bullet-shaped Belemnites. So many laying all over the ground, it looks like the aftermath of a war.

You can learn a lot, using a dremel to clean stone from a fossil. Like, how to clean stone from a fossil, and why you need a new respirator filter

[@Saurophaganax1931]

I choose to believe that Aquilops was a tiny predatory ceratopsian that snapped up snakes and lizards and you can’t change my mind otherwise.

[@SamSays101]

Your vids are always awesome

[@tomholroyd7519]

I've always been impressed, not only by your pronunciation, but by your overall use of language as well. "Ankle biters," for example. An excellent characterization that is sadly lacking from standard taxonomic nomenclature (has "accoutrements" ever appeared in a scientific paper? I guess they say "frills" but eh)

[@StoffelDilligas]

There's a word I have not heard for decades.... Wottles. Pigeons have wottles, and I have not heard that word since before my father passed away. He had racing and show pigeons. Didn't realise that certain dinosaur's had wottles. Thanks for the educational videos and thank for triggering a happy memory of my father

It's messed up we still haven't figured out how to function in a non dysfunctional manner. These people should not have to be providing free skilled labor. We think certain things have been abolished but in reality the entire system has become refined and polished...

This question is not related to this topic per say… my 15 yrs old asks: Ask edge that I have two questions 1. Is how thick and strong is a triceratops head and horn, did they really use them for defense and which triceratops species has the best offense and defense when it comes to fighting if there bad at defense then which one has better fighting abilities and greatest weaponry to fight the T. rex and other dinosaurs. 2.Ask him this to is this really a different species of ceratopsian dinosaur or is just a triceratops or it is a triceratops but a different species of one .

[@Nightscape_]

What was up with that California flag? Never seen one like that.

[@patreekotime4578]

Yeah that was cool!

[@stoneworld5962]

Hi Edge, try not being so partial... You made a whole video about the brand new Ichtyotitan for example, holotype known from a single bone... And... well, it seems fine to call it a valid species, for now at least. It is exactly the same with our european ceratopsian Ajkaceratops... Fragmentary, yes, but no more than others considered valid. It has even been redescribed and corrected in 2024, changing it's position in the ceratopsian family but keeping it in. #proudofourhorndudes

Welcome back Edge you get your sense of human back I love it that's one of the reasons why I come to watch you is not just the information but how you present it in sexy humorous fashion of course it's slave labor don't let them kid you you know someday somebody's going to show up and then they're going to destroy a fossil because they don't have experience and they're going to do it on purpose and go look you're not paying me to do this I don't care what the **** happens to the father So they better be careful they better start paying their volunteers Yeah there's people that love doing it because it's a job and it's increasing the knowledge of the field but not knowledge isn't free nothing is free these days that God has started paying these people even if it's minimum wage from 1970 which is like two bucks an hour give them something and don't keep them free passes to the museum because that's useless because they already work there and they can walk around and look at everything anyway for free you know what happens if all of these people are doing the volunteer or decide hey we can't afford to do volunteer work anymore we just can't we need money or we're going to lose our homes or kids or families our means to eat well they're doing lucky that these people haven't gone on strike on them yet they get some unskilled labor whereas no idea what the hell they're doing let alone how to speak English as an English it's not their first language I mean the only thing worse is what professors do to undergrads to claim their work even though the undergrad did it you know ohh yeah work on this project and I'll take the credit for it what I'd love to see done is that the students name is on the top of the discovery order the paper with so and so as mentor Or Shonto as overseeing professor that's the way to do it you give everybody credit you know if it wasn't for the mentor the student that wouldn't know what to like go after it to look forward to research and how to research it if it wasn't for the students the research would never get done so credit everybody students name first then professor or dr or whoever it is sound like a good idea edge let's make it law and the professor cannot make money off of the idea solely if it's going to make money

[@SCPfan173]

[@Shaden0040]

hey edge why would you have a muscular tail if nothing defend yourself The biggest ones get like 78 feet long the croc monitors get even longer they get up to like 8910 feet long and most of that is like two thirds of that is the tail alone and they can whip any opponent very very hard right in the face and it hurts if you want an example watch Camp Cannon look for slinky or the crock monitor episodes sneaky was a water monitor from the same area different species but seem general they can hurt you know 20 pound piece of meat coming at your face at lightning speed like the same speed as a bowl whip it's going to hurt so what did these little guys probably use your tails for defense you know not big big carnivores but little ones you know the size of a laser raptor that sized carnivore you get wiped in the face with your tail That's going to hurt especially the way they hold their hips up that posture is great for delivering blows to an enemy's face. so check it out see what you think and maybe if you revise your ideas you might be onto something yeah probably sexual demorphism is important there or sexual attraction or whatever but when we find another specimen and they see that it's the same regardless of gender maybe they'll figure it out The meantime that's my idea of what actually the tail was for.
