The Early Triassic was dominated in part by the archosauromorphs (the group that includes archosaurs), rising to dominance in the aftermath of the Great Dying, and synapsid lineages that made it past the Great Dying and were recovering. The archosauromorphs ended up diversifying and filling the majority of the megafaunal niches before the synapsids returned to their former glory and thus got to dominate megafaunal niches afterwards (though the synapsids did have their own successes, with the dicynodonts in particular being a major group of large herbivores even up to the end of the Triassic). Some time around this point, true archosaurs arose from within the archosauromorphs and split into two lineages-the pseudosuchians (croc-line archosaurs) and ornithodirans (dinosaurs, pterosaurs and their relatives). It was the pseudosuchians that ended up being more successful during the Triassic, especially in megafaunal niches. The global hothouse of the Triassic put dinosaurs at a significant disadvantage as only small predatory dinosaurs could survive outside of high-latitude areas, while pseudosuchians could live anywhere regardless of size. Dinosaurs did have some successes in the Triassic (especially in the Late Triassic when the first large dinosaurs began appearing in high-latitude regions), but they were never able to outcompete the pseudosuchians as often argued. Even the Carnian Pluvial Event failed to tip the balance in favour of the dinosaurs-it did benefit the dinosaurs and allow them to enter herbivorous niches for the first time, and killed off some basal archosauromorph lineages, but the pseudosuchians came through basically unscathed (PBS Eons got this wrong when they covered this event, due to poor research causing them to ignore that a large proportion of the larger Triassic pseudosuchian archosaurs come from after this event and not before). Then the End-Triassic Mass Extinction happened and wiped out virtually all the pseudosuchians (crocodylomorphs being the sole survivors), allowing the dinosaurs to take over in the Jurassic.

Neat video. Love the animations! Question, wouldn't it be more likely that the Erythrosuchus was a scavenger, not a hunter? Its head is so huge compared to its body and legs I doubt it could chase down prey. I'd think the size was more likely for scaring off the other animals at the carcass site. Or if it did hunt, it was probably more like a komodo dragon, who bites once and stalks its prey over a long time waiting for the infection to subdue it. Where did the information that it was an apex hunter come from?
@GTSE20058 ай бұрын
I think Erythrosuchus would be an ambush hunter, plus its huge head would have given it a powerful bite, enough to kill its prey outright. Also, the Komodo dragon infection thing you stated is a misconception, they don't intentionally wait for their prey to die of infection, that only happens if the hunt fails. Komodo dragons often try to kill their prey on the spot through ambush predation.

I'm equally fascinated by and in disbelief of most ideas pertaining to Dinosaurs. It's too big a logic leap for me to just take someone's word that they can determine so much about a creature by looking at a few bone fossils
@AnthropomorphicTrilobite8 ай бұрын
Most people are unfamiliar with the way anatomy facilitates reconstruction via e.g. muscles and the marks they leave behind on bone. Basic rules can be gathered from the anatomy of living groups of organisms, their development and biomechanics. Most major dinosaur bodyplans aren't just guesses though as each has a plethora of partial and complete specimens which are either in complete or partial articulation. Sometimes fossils, such as those from lägerstatte-type deposits not only preserve articulation, but also additional details that would otherwise not fossilize. It's these cross references which allow these reconstructions to be made, and it is always fun to see partial skeletons in only near partial articulation, or no articulation et al, to be used for reconstruction, which is then confirmed to be true when partial and full skeletons in full articulation are found. One such example that comes to my mind is that of hominin fossils. When AL 288-1 (Lucy) was found in Ethiopia, it wasn't exactly known at the time how these creatures fully looked like. Inferences were made, but the fossils were limited. Lucy was partially complete, preserving only parts of the skull, some vertebrae, some parts of the arms the sacrum and one illium, and some parts of the legs and extremities. It doesn't seem much, but we can already look at the bones and see what type of creature it is. From the dentition, bone size and shape it was clearly like great apes incl humans. Certain bones could only fit together in certain ways and the features of individual bones can further help with the arrangement and orientation and the biomechanics. Then in 1994, 20 years after the Discovery of Lucy, Ronald J. Clark found STW 573 (nick named little Foot) in a cave in South Africa. It was an Australopithecene much like Lucy, but it was in partial articulation and is an almost complete specimen, confirming much of how Lucy was reconstructed. I recommend the papers on both these specimens, from the initial discovery to the reconstruction papers Lucy's discovery instigated.

i cannot imagine how powerful the hurricans/typhoons would be with warm waters and the large size of the ocean. One other thing where there tornados and were they big and really powerful? i wish they would make a video on the climatic conditions in those times.

Thinking about the stuff that we will never see or know about that have walked, swam, or flew on this planet keeps me up at night. And then I think about space and my brain just stops functioning.

I've always liked dinosaurs, but it's always been a fantasy of mine to be able to go back in time with a Bradly A4 and hunt big dinosaurs. That would be epic!

What is most interesting to me is not how strange the ancient creatures evidently were, but how *consistent* their forms have been throughout the eons. Certain designs seem to stand the test of time. Therefore, it stands to reason that creatures in distant galaxies would likely be of similar forms to what we have on Earth, too.

A very interesting theory is the growing/expanding Earth theory. 250 million years ago Earth was half the size. One of the best evidence is the age of the ocean bottoms. Youngest parts are in the middle, in between all of the continents and oldest is along the coast lines of all the continents.

The Triassic is my favorite period because of the variety of orders of tetrapods and being a transition period between the ancient world and the era of the dinosaurs

if it was 250,000,000 years ago wouldn't that make us the weird ones

Thank you for your very informative video. Is it possible that the oceans at depth and at the poles were somewhat colder than the 40 degrees C of the more shallow equatorial oceans?
@ExtinctZoo8 ай бұрын
Yeah it was colder, the 40 degrees just to showcase the extreme heat possible in the ocean.

It’s wild to think about an entire glob full of life, none of it intelligent, just getting obliterated by disaster. It’s like everything on the planet is just a mold that developed. A result of the development of some funk from the sun and water.
