They had some dedication to paleontology

I'm from Argentina, and can confirm that my country was named after the dinosaur. Also have in mind that argentum means silver, so I'm 100% sure that this dinosaur was the result of an enormous werewolf population Thank me later

@@nestormentoso8707 hmmm, werewolf dinosaur is cool,, I would also settle for a Silverback Dinosaur as well.

I believe the silver sauropods were intended to slay the werewolves. Although weredinosaurs would be terrific.

rumour has it that albertaceratops and albertosaurus both share a Canadian province

Same here in Colorado.

In Ohio USA there have been no fossilized remains of dinosaurs discovered as yet... sigh! We do have loads of trilobite fossils and the terrifying Dunkleosteus swam our nearby ancient seas but not so much as a coprolite of any dinosaur or flying or swimming reptile! Again, sigh.

@@mikesnyder1788 I'm in New York, and we aren't too good on Dinos either.

@@brettwood1351 Bummer! It would be so neat to visit a site with, say, fossilized Dino footprints or the like. At least you have some lovely mountains and lakes in New York. A beautiful state, for sure. Regards...

True Story: In my Spanish class in college, we had to do a current events report in Spanish for recent news from a Spanish speaking country. I panicked, not knowing what to do... And then I remembered Bajadasaurus was announced that February in Argentina. I got a 95. Thank you Argentina for the highest grade I had in that class.

Wait what 🤯 could you send me a link to an article or a video so I can see what you're talking about? I've never heard of these as they sound super interesting!

I neee to know more, pls reply

And one state was named after Utahraptor

​@@lucasb9285 guess we're on our own .. gonna have to look it up ourselves

Named after the now-dubious Titanosaurus, which wasn’t even all that big.

gotta love that name

My all time fave is Xi Chi, a small Therapod with its own design on flight. An actual dragon, with dragonlike bat wings, feathers and everything!

@@mousaey Ultrasaurus was cool too. I still have the Definitly Dinosaurs toy of it. And Dreadnautus gets points for it's awesome name.

I remember as a kid fighting with friends about which dino was the biggest, supersaurus or ultrasaurus. Not even knowing of the other bigger ones soon to be found. But with names like those what would be next? Super-dupersaurus, superultrasaurus? Lol

@@Vegeta8300 lol... That's actually a good combination

Did the part 2 ever come out? If so I sadly cant find it.

​@@nicotineupnext I am asking myself the same

Yeah but the current only surviving dinosaur line is famous for being feathered, loud and small

Italicizing scientific names? I see you’re a man of culture. I should probably do that myself in KZfaq comments, but I’m too lazy.

Argie has been reconstructed with a short neck before. At 12:47, F, G & H are _Argentinosaurus, Paralititan_ and _"Antarctosaurus" giganteus_ from Carpenter, 2006.

@@winter2716 I don't know how to.

@@FlyingFocs Put underscores around what you want to italicize, like _ this _ (but without the spaces). It doesn’t always seem to work, though. _test_

@@winter2716 _Dinosaurs are cool._

I think they do that slready

Pretty difficult if you only have partial remains

Like whale falls on land

Ew crypto monkey pfp

NFT pop

Only if the climate was realy cold ,elephants tend to putrify faster than smaller animals.

Screenshotted your pfp :)

I read this comment wrong when I first saw it lmao

This friend future is certain for greatness as a Anthropologist...

Has he seen gorgonops or inostrancevia? Those are scary and ancient.

@@Scrinwaipwr Just wait till he sees Estemmenosuchus

I showed a kid from Iowa a manatee in the flesh and he thought he was on the set of a George Lucas film! Never had he seen nor heard of Sirenians.

@@williamsapong81 Daaww, it's like a Warthog and a hippo had a baby. No, wait that would be terrifying.

One you missed: ur mom

Yes the Longest but not close to the biggest in terms of mass and size

Its 33-34 metres

some say that Barosaurus is also being another contender for the longest dinosaur ever lived. but because its remains are so fragmentary, it's still being the object of debates about the size of them.

@@heythereradit True.

@@ayankhanayankhan2012 Source?

Australia: *maniacal cackling*

USA: We have a Brachiosaurus, Supersaurus, Maraapunissurus, Sauroposeidon, Alamosaurus etc etc

@@Ozraptor4 Alamosaurus is just begging for a "Everything is bigger in Texas" joke.

I just looked it up and i don't know why but I'm disturbed

Another weirdo among ancient animals are the Calicotheres, Perissadactyls that resemble a chimera between a Gorilla, a giant sloth and a horse. Real Star Wars material.

@@kinglyzard or the homalodotheres

This was a response to therapods firing torpedoes from the forest.

@@Thechezbailey haha truly terrifying =)

WTH is your pfp lol

Yeah, it was 92 tons iirc 🤣

That's a good question!

It probably could, although it would have to be something pretty swift and cataclysmic to wipe out all the cosmopolitan mammal species like humans, dogs, rats, pigs, cattle, etc. Bats could survive because they are small, and are able to fly long distances in search of food and safety (very important during a mass extinction!). Many of them also eat insects, or have flexible diets, meaning they’re less likely to be without a food source than most other mammals.

It may have just been a preservation bias as in recent years there have been some similarly sized late cretaceous Titanosaurs found specifically in Australia which probably was to some degree connected at least at times with South America and was the connected to Antarctica suggesting giant Sauropods could have been more widely distributed. Then of course there is the curious case of Alamosaurus which despite closely resembling the giant south American titanosaurs suddenly appears in the fossil record of North America alongside major floral shifts 67 Mya with young Alamosaurus apparently becoming the most abundant vertebrate fossils found just below the KPg boundary in Mexico and the southwestern US. This is particularly interesting since sauropods had vanished from the fossil record for most of the Cretaceous. This occurs at around the same time as other dinosaurs that anatomically are quite distinct from North American species found at earlier times the most iconic of these being of course Tyrannosaurus rex which has been shown to anatomically feature the characteristic hallmarks of Asian Tyrannosaurs in both anatomy and inferred behavior from fossils. Given the major tectonic shifts occurring in the Northern pacific seeming conducive towards the potential reconnection of Asia and North America during the late Cretaceous and Early Paleogene it seems probable that Alamosaurus ancestors likely entered North America as part of this faunal interchange but while Titanosaurs are known to have existed in Asia to my knowledge no comparably giant Titanosaurs have been found there. One possible resolution to this apparent "paradox" is that there are anatomical features that only appear in fully mature sauropods of the giant class as prior to the huge adult skeleton discovered at Big Bend National park of all places no one had considered that Alamosaurus could potentially rival the south American giants.

There’s also the possibility for it to be an unusually small or large individual when you make estimates based off of a few parts or one specimen.

Supersaurus is the longest sauropod but it’s definitely not a contender for the biggest. There’s also ruyangosaurus, daxiatitan. There’s also one named Nurosaurus which looks huge buts there’s no studies done on it which is confusing cause it’s been around for a while now

We must not make absolutes when talking about dinosaurs, because we know not much about them.

The leg bones are the strongest, so definitely yes

It's been 2 years now and there still isn't one

Newly prepped material from this year's SVP meeting indicate that all the Dry Mesa diplodocid material (Supersaurus, Dystylosaurus, "Ultrasaurus" and BYU 9024) belong to a single Supersaurus vivianae.

Possible, but don’t be quick to swallow hypotheses.

Lol

They just count the rings

@@johncollins1255 As one can with shark cartilage? Would one be able to know what the average life span was for creatures for which we have so few examples? Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge, most appreciated!
