/ ydaw -- Iguanodon's been with us for nearly as long as paleontology itself. Consequently, the way we reconstruct this animal has changed over and over, right down to the present day.

This so much! People of today tend to have a pretty prejudiced view of peoples of the past as being just plain 'dumber' than we are. People of the past were not stupid or less intelligent by any means! They were us, that's it, plain and simple. They just had more limitations and fewer giants' shoulders to stand on, and they became giants themselves. The amount of genius present in designs of early structures, machines, old tools, etc. is completely astounding. When I took apart an old air hammer and found essentially one moving part, just with a series of holes and galleys for air to pass through depending on where the part was, just left me astonished at the ingenuity, of how somebody created something basic to solve a complex purpose. The fact that the basic design of the internal combustion engine hasn't changed in over 100 years should convince anyone that we aren't any smarter than they were, we just have more knowledge.

Honestly it's amazing that the earliest paleontologists to work on Iguanodon got anything right, given that they had absolutely zero context for this kind of creature. Despite getting a lot wrong, they managed to work out that it was an herbivore, the initial size estimate wasn't off by all *that* much, and they even figured out that unlike any modern reptile, it chewed its food, and they even pieced together roughly how it did so.

@KnufWons 3 жыл бұрын

You may or may not know this already, but it turns out that elephant graveyards are the results of flooding pushing elephant corpses into the “graveyard”. The true nature of the area is that a whole bunch of bodies get caught and remain in that area, and the fact that so many elephant remains are found there is notable simply because elephants are big and noteworthy.

@kekkres 3 жыл бұрын

@@KnufWons not even, it's not a case of misreading the evidence. There is no evidence. There is not a single example of an elephant graveyard ever found. It's an idea that comes from old pulp stories of darkest africa and people just accepted the idea and it stuck in the cultural consciousness.

The Iguanodon wastebasket taxonomy phenomenon was far more wide-reaching than just Lower Cretaceous taxa. By the early 2000s, some workers still apparently classed Late Cretaceous taxa as Iguanodon, as is inferable from certain documentaries at the time, like how Dinosaur Planet referred to their Rhabdodon (an ornithopod more basal than Iguanodon) as a species of Iguanodon. Likewise, Late Jurassic taxa, like the British, hilariously-named Cumnoria were also at one point lumped within Iguanodon.

The crystal palace “pseudo-beak” kinda looks like they were using rhinoceros lips as reference, which would make sense since they gave it a nose horn as well. Also, maybe the iguanodon bonebeds are a sort of “elephant graveyard.” Maybe older iguanodons went to the swamp in search of food that was easier to chew, and ended up just dying of old age in that area?

@toblexson5020 3 жыл бұрын

I was thinking something alone the same lines. And maybe the occasional younger adult iguanodons were badly injured or ill enough to be abandoned by the herd, and relocated to this area, whereas juvenile members of the herd would be looked after right until death due to maternal instinct. It's hard to think of a reoccuring natural disaster that would only affect such a specific area and demographic, so it does seem to feel somewhat intentional. Although as humans we are prone to seeing intent where there is none.

This is the 1st episode of YDAW I've come across and it's AMAZING! The quality of the science, the animations, the illustrations and the presentation of the material are all just brilliant. Well done.

Great episode. Though I was distracted by that Barney in the background, I still managed to digest all the information in this way too short episode. I look forward to part 2! :P

"Talk Dumb, Get The Thumb." This needs to be put on a sticker, shirt, or button with a YDAW illustration of Iguanodon. I will buy it all. Make it for Iguanodon's 200 year discovery for next year in 2022! It would be perfect and I would again buy it all! :)

I’m a new fan but I already watched most of the series, I love how detailed and how you see the creature change into something that was real, would love to see sarcosuchus or baryonyx

Iguanadon was one of my favorite dinosaurs as a kid, and I had the upright, spike-thumbed version fixed in my head, so I was surprised to see you criticize it, and then fell in love with the whole story of how we came to better understand iguanadon, and it's still one of my favorites, just in a different way.

I love the unedited pauses and the speaker's pace in this show. It makes it much easier for me to digest the information without the constant, back to back rapid fire information thats been edited together without natural breaks.

Yep, same for Ceratopsians, Thyreophorans (Ankylosaurs and Stegosaurs) and dinosaurs as a whole to an extent (Theropods didn't have cheeks but their mouths didn't go all the way back to the jaw articulation, there was a lot of muscle after all).

I have never seen the “Crystal Palace” model before. I would love one, having seen the original several times. And because I live in the Wealden. BTW, apparently the story about Mantell’s wife didn’t appear until the 1950’s, so is somewhat dubious.

I had it 3D printed so I could send it in. I got it through Shapeways, a 3D printing service, but it can be quite expensive. Alternatively, Antediluvian Miniatures sells a model kit (you just have to glue the legs on) and paint yourself. Oh wait they're out of stock it seems.

Question: in the natural history museum the 2 smaller specimens are listed as "Dollodon". Has mantelisaurus replaced Dollodon?

@MrJoe99998 3 жыл бұрын

From what I can find its rather complicated. Basically a 2008 paper claims these fossils to not be of Mantelisaurus but instead of a new species that they name Dollodon. This paper has, however, been heavely criticised by other researchers and is not universialy accepted. I'm guessing the museum, however, has opted to accept the new name.
