Thank you for one of the best overall presentations of today's knowledge about dinosaurs I have seen anywhere.

I love how every paleontologist I've watched on youtube subtly rips into Jack Horner and the idea that Spinosaurus would be able to kill a T-rex.

Early primitive ceratopsians have been found in North America as well. Others have noted that the Bering land bridge may have been open much of the time during the age of the dinosaurs so saying what first appeared where may not be very certain. Edit: I have read that some Australians have found what they believe to be some fragments of a ceratopsian.

What if dinosaurs moved fast and jerky like modern birds. That's a very scary thought, imo

Look for a video of a roadrunner atacking a snake for dinner. Then take a look at T-rex's neck. I bet it attacked the same way.

Its really not. Maniraptorans most likely moved in that manner, bearing in mind they have many avian traits

Obviously a lot of scavengers have stereoscopic vision, so not really a good argument there. Eating dead things saves calories, so it makes sense for any meat-eater to do both.

It has far too many strong predatory characteristics for it to be a scavenger. Jack Horner is regarded as sort of a clown in the field, you should take his theories with more salt than others.

To Martin's issues: check out ReptileEvolution.com and you'll see the microevolution that even Creationists approve of. I'd also suggest that you go out to a dinosaur dig site. Get your hands dirty and you'll see that it was not all laid down in one layer during a single megaflood.

I get that this lecture is aimed at novices and that it was probably given before Brontosaurus was reestablished as a genus, but the number of casual errors and gross assumptions present here make me wonder whether this guy even has a degree in the field.

Noticed a number of mispronunciations ( or at least different pronunciations) on his part that differ from most other ways of sounding names of the animals. he did call Triceratops are Citreratops when referring to the Charles R Knight Paleoart, which must have just been a mistake. Interesting, really... why he opted to sound out their names in such a way.

I confess my grammar has been slack recently. That would be a sick burn if what I typed was intended to be a criticism, and not an observation. Was simply interested, for all I know there are different ways to pronounce their names. It's hard to resist calling people out on hypocrisy, isn't it?

Horner gets a burn here too, kinda funny. Well that's what happens when you use cutting edge Victorian Era science as the basis of your claims. Modern animal behavior uses cameras and video tape and night vision capabilities to figure out that all those "scavengers" are actually active predators. Ends up basing your ideas on which animals you think look more noble was a dumb idea. EDIT: Oh and Apatosaurus and Brontosaurus are separate species/genus now... again. That part where the Brontosaurus being renamed to Apatosaurus happened way back in the 1800s.
@paullangford81796 жыл бұрын
Apatosaurus was first. Brontosaurus was thought to be a different species, then thought to be the same (and lost its primacy); and now looks like it might be a different species after all. As we get more and more complete fossils, these confluences and divergences are likely to happen.
@diebesgrab4 жыл бұрын
Actually Brontosaurus was classified as synonymous with Apatosaurus in the very early 1900s (I wanna say about 1905? Don’t have the date handy), though a few scientists argued against that conclusion at the time and for some reason a lot of museums embraced that minority, which was probably the main cause of public confusion going forward. @Paul Langford Apatosaurus (type species A. ajax) and Brontosaurus (type species B. excelsus) were always different species, no one has ever questioned that. What came into question was whether B. excelsus was sufficiently different from A. ajax and other Apatosaurus species to constitute a separate genus; for a long time, the community consensus was no, but that 2015 study on Apatosaurines did a pretty convincing job demonstrating that they were sufficiently distinct, even assigning a couple other formerly Apatosaurus species to Brontosaurus, as well (B. yahnahpin and B. parvus).
