Pokemon X and Y added some interesting Pokemon. The coolest one though? well that honor goes to TYRANTRUM! I mean it's a freaking T-REX! Aurorus is cool too but in a more literal sense. So why are they fossil Pokemon specifically? What else is Tyrantrum based on? What is Tyrunt based on? What is Amaura based on? and what is Aurorus based on? This video will hopefully explain all that, as well as explain some other fun fossil facts! Did you know the most famous individual fossil in the world is a T-rex fossil named Sue?

random design trivia: the designer of the Aurorus line, Hitoshi Ariga, has stated that the reason he chose Amargasaurus as a base design for Aurorus is because he "wanted to differentiate it from other long necked dinosaur like mons such as Lapras, Meganium or Deino". the more you know!

Fun Fact: Despite a T-Rex's arms being very small for its body size, they were still as long as the average adult man's arms, except with twice the muscle mass. So yeah, imagine Dwayne Johnson's biceps, inflate them to twice their size, and you have a T-Rex's arms.

In the anime Aurorus was depicted as being the same size as an Amargasaurus. In fact it is the only sauropod pokemon to be at that size. So you can chalk that up to Gamefreak not having a good sense of scale. In that same episode within X and Y it was shown that they do have the ability to freely change the color of their sails with them turning blue when the pokemon are unwell.

GameFreak with the first gens had no idea how the size would actually be on the mons. The designers just slapped some numbers on them they thought would work. The anime itself has had very sketchy and loose interpretation of size as well early on. Trying to pass off a Dragonite at Bill's lighthouse being freaking gigantic when during the first movie one is near the size of Jesse and James. Since the early years they've gotten better at keeping a consistent size and are more aware at what the realistic proportions would be. On a fun extra note, there was recently a promotion at a Japanese museum that had mockups of fossil pokemon with their real world counterparts. Should be some videos floating around here of it.

17:50 Fun Fact: the English word Tyrant and it’s derivatives are derived from the Latin word Tyrannous, which just means King. Specifically, a king that had come into the role through their works (meaning they were chosen by the people if their wasn’t an heir or they committed a coup or something to that effect), as opposed to one who had inherited the role from the previous king, which was referred to as Rex. So technically, Tyrannosaurus Rex actually means King Lizard King. Lol.

In game, 100% tyrantrum wins. In lore, not at all. Aurorus has pokedex entries that say it can create walls of ice to block attacks, let alone freeze its enemies solid. By the time Tyrantrum (a physical attacker) even gets to aurorus through ice walls it would be frozen solid by super effective ice attacks by that point.

Amargasaurus belongs to the family Dicraeosauridae, a group of Diplodocoid Sauropods known for having relatively short necks, but long neural spines for thicker muscle attachments. This could mean that the possibile sails ran down from the neck to the middle of the back where the last biffurcated vertebrae was before it transitioned to the thicker, more ridge. 3:59 Amargasaurus has a close relative recently discovered called Bajadasaurus. it's similar to the former in that it has those large spikes on the neck, but the difference is that they point forward instead of being swept back. 12:14 We don't know about Pachyrhinosaurus having feathery coats. While it's possible that Ceratopsian (horned dinosaurs) had feathers, the plumage was sparse and mainly found along the back and tail. In a recent discovery from 2012 (still undescribed), a mummy named Lane had skin impressions which displayed the possibility of quills similar to earlier forms like Psittacosaurus. The feathered Pachyrhinosaurus trope is one that popped up in 2012. The idea is that this genus (there are currently three accepted species) lived in the northern regions, which snowed year round and had evolved in a way similar to wooly animals like Coelodonta and Mammoths - developing a coat of thick feathers to provide as insulation. It's plausible for this adaptation to occur, though there's no concrete evidence to prove it. 12:49 I think you're referring to Leallynasaura, which was a distant cousin from Australia that likely experienced cold. Hypsilophodon was found in the Wessex Formation of England, which during its time was part of a European chain of islands. The environment was a semi-arid environment covered in shrubs and and trees. Also it wasn't subjected to being so close to the poles and seasonal extremes. 20:30 Fun Fact: Tyrannosaurus and it's relatives had the best depth perception of any predatory Theropods - almost similar to humans. Other species had very limited binocular vision, with Allosaurus only seeing about 20 degrees and Velociraptor having 60 degrees. Also, because of how large its optic nerve was, a T. rex is estimated to be able to track a target nearly four miles away. 22:22 In a 2015 study, it's proposed that a T. rex was able to straight up decapitate a Triceratops skull in order to get at the meat from behind the neck. Also, based on Tarbosaurus tooth marks (an Asian relative), it was likely able to gently scrape meat clean off the bone. 24:21 Your success rate was 33.3%. 24:33 Oooh! Yeah, we don't talk about that one. So, that was based on a 2017 paper by Steve Brusatte, whose become a bit of a rock star (no pun intended) in the Paleontology scene. The issue was that he was measuring the EQ (encephalization quotient) between T. rex and a chimp. For those that don't know, the EQ is the ratio between the mass of the brain vs. body in order to determine possible cognitive levels. Sounds good on paper... until you realize different clades involve different calculations. An equation for a mammal doesn't work for a reptile or a bird. Niw to be fair, T. rex is a relatively smart animal compared to other large Theropods and gators. But being equivalent to a chimp? Not even close. Since then, Brusatte has apologized over this error last year. 27:43 Okay, as an aside, I just realized how much Sue was in that story.🤣 28:59 I think you meant "Troglodyte". 30:02 As a Paleontologist, I despise the Fossil Trade, wherher it's the black market or on the "up and up", with Stan (and to me, just as importantly, the most complete Deinonychus fossil known) being the most livid purchase. Still, it had a silver lining as it turned out that the fossil was transferred to a museum being developed in Abu Dhabi. It was once thought that Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson was the guy who bought the tyrant (as many celebs ought to do. Nick Cage illegally purchased a Tarbosaurus in a bid to outdo Leonardo di Caprio's Mosasaurus). Of course, it turned out to not be the case and he claimed to have way more respect for thr science than other rich people. 32:27 They're not cheeks. It's likely that he's talking about the antorbital fenestra, which is a hole found between the eye socket and nostril of Archosauria. This hole was used to help lighten the head and was covered by skin and muscle. Birds still have it, many pterosaurs had it, but crocs lost it over their evolutionary history. 33:19 Small arms have been a contentious issue in the realm of dinosaur paleobiology. We see the trait appear in numerous lineages over the span of the Mesozoic. When it comes to Tyrannosaurids, it's even stranger. Generally, there are two standards - the arms are small, but still have functionality for hunting (as seen in Allosaurus and its relatives) or have degenerated into vestiges (like with Carnotaurus and its kin). For T. rex, the arms still were functional, albeit to a lesser extent. They were packed full of muscle, but very little range of motion. Either way, the general trend is that as a predator grows, the head becomes the primary killing tool while the arms shrink over time. This is likely possible for T. rex. Keep in mind that this animal came from a lineage of small, fast moving opportunists that had long, functional arms. Of course, there's always exceptions to this rule as the Megaraptorans exist. These were a clads of killers frim the Southern continents that grew to impressive sizes, but had surprisingly long, muscular arms tipped with giant talons. For a long time, nobody knew what they were. Allosauroids? A clan of their own Coelurosaurian club? Weird Tyrannosauroid offshoots? Well do to the recent discovery of a terror names Maip, it's been determined that these animals were a sister taxa to Tyrannosaurs. ...Oh right, short arms. So there's an idea floating around within the past month that the reason for short arms in Tyrannosaurus stems from the mitigation of injury. Essentially, over their evolution, T. rex arms grew smaller overtime to avoid being damaged/destroyed in fights with prey, rivals, or accidentally getting rippes off in group feedings. 35:05 Keep in mind that Yutytannus is in a basal position in the tyrant family tree - having evolved closer to a feathered ancestor. Also worth noting is that it came from a more temperate climate that would've dropped down to 50 degrees Fahrenheit regularly. T. rex, on the other hand, was a spring chicken that lived in swamps and forests closer to Louisiana bayous. Also, it was 6000 kilograms heavier, meaning that it would've likely suffocated and overheated if it had as extensive of a coat as its predecessor. 37:07 I mean, it could be a bird. That's just a bird. Even with bat wings. Which was a thing. Yi and Ambopteryx.🤷🏿‍♂️

*Fun Fact:* The first thoroughly analyzed fragment of a T. rex was some vertebra in 1892, done by Edward Drinker Cope. He named the specimen Manospondylus gigas which means "giant porous vertebra,” and imagined it as a ceratopsian. The holotype of the rex was examined in Montana in 1902 and given the name Dynamosaurus imperiosus, and interpreted theropod instead. It wasn’t until Henry Fairfield Osborn named the second skeletal holotype in 1905, even though he named the first holotype in 1902. But since the name of T. rex appeared earlier in his work, the name was used by the public. And because of the previous specimens of “Dynamosaurus” and “Manospondylus” were later found to be the same species, it was the name Tyrannosaurus rex that was kept as the preferred name.

T. Rex, while not the longest nor the tallest land carnivore... was *easily* the most powerful. Pound for pound, T. Rex was a behemoth of a Therapod. While being roughly the same size as other large carnivores, it was way more massive, being essentially pure muscle while others like Charcharadontosaurus and Giganotasaurus were far more sleek and lightweight. The reason we know so much of T. Rex, is because newer people would see all the data we have, and take the easy route of studying it. They'd find more data, and then more new people would see all the data and find even more! It's an exponential growth of study. TL;DR- he big, he chonky, and it's eyes/nose/ears were some of the best the animal kingdom has ever seen.

T. Rex was likely the bulkiest of the large therapods, Acrocanthosaurus could be close if you consider it to have a meaty hump and not a thin spine. Other Apex predators were generally slimmer, but had the advantage of generally less dangerous prey. They were probably biting/slashing large sauropods and waiting for them to bleed out, whereas T. Rex might 1v1 fight a Triceratops. Spinosaurus being a quadrupedal isn't something that's really considered anymore. Most agreeing its the first largely aquatic dinosaur, and its tail being actually very thin helped it with the weight issues :) And no Megalosaurus didn't have a stronger bite than T. Rex. Tyrannosaurus has the strongest bite of any language carnivore in Earth's history :)

Actually Sue and Scotty are bigger than any Giganotosaurus fossil found so far, however only 32 vs the hundred of T-Rex fossils have been found of Giga, and I think only 3 of them are relatively complete. There's also the fact that dinosaurs while bird like could've also been like reptiles, reptiles, amphibians, and fish will grow throughout their lives non stop until death. Also fun fact the Giga had a set of teeth that were like cleavors, butcher knives meant for tearing flesh off the bone in 1 swift movement and ease vs the T-Rex the strongest bite force of ANY LAND ANIMAL were meant for bone crunching. This is why scientists are so split in the middle, was the world's most effective land killer or was it a scavenger, personally I think both, like a wolf or hyena, nothing stopping them from hunting, but they wouldn't pass up a free meal either. Same with were dinosaurs more bird or more reptile, I think... kind of both, a well mixed combination, the missing link if you were, that could separate them from either. I LOVE THE T-REX OH MY GOSH HE'S GOING INTO THE NUMBERS OF THE BITE FORCE! Also while Scotty is bigger Sue certainly is more famous, and is a little more complete, Scotty only at like 60% and Sue at 90% roughly, so even then it still is unknown if for certain Scotty was bigger and is highly backed and forthed with THE NERDS as you put it lol. They are by extension also the oldest T-Rex's estimated to have lived possibly to 28 years old, putting more evidence on that some dinosaurs, especially the Tyrannosaurus Rex, didn't stop growing like reptiles until they died. Ok last comment, I've left too many and many of them so long I just LOVE THESE DINOSAURS AND POKEMON, Tyrantrum is tied with Pyroar for my 3rd favorite Pokemon, both having my favorite types dragon and fire, only beat out by Hydreigon and... if I said my favorite I'd probably be shamed, it's a popular Pokemon... ok Charizard, but it's not because oooh big fire dragon, it's got sentimental value, I connect with it on a deeper level than most people, it wasn't even my 1st starter that goes to Typhlosion. Anyone questioning me I'd be happy to share my valiant tale of triumph. Anyways this video I've been so excited and happy for the longest time, whether Lockstin got stuff right or wrong I was so thrilled to see it, and he did a lot of good research into these Pokemon some of which I didn't even know... mostly about Auroras, but still, this was a fun and amazing video.

I’d argue the highly developed hearing AND depth perception make it very unlikely it was _primarily_ a scavenger: not only are there not really many animals that big in their ecosystem today that are scavengers first, but having high intelligence + all of their senses being well developed suggests a FAR more demanding lifestyle, once where they would need to pinpoint a target, and be able to quickly “Mk 1 eyeball” the range to a target as they went in to tear them apart with their jaws. Yeah, scavengers ain’t stupid, but you don’t really need advanced hearing or eyesight to find a carcass.

Rex was definitely a hunter. Great binocular vision, massive bite force and evidence such as a broken off tooth found in a healed over bone in an Edmontosaur all lends credence to it being a hunter. The scavenger "theory" has only really been pushed by Jack Horner who is an infamous contrarian who openly admits that he doesn't like Rex (seriously, he's said so on video) and allegedly only says it was a scavenger to get attention. All of this being said, a Rex would not turn down a free meal in a carcass like you said, just like any carnivore alive today.

A more recent hypothesis put forward for the _T. rex_ short arm length is that they may have been social or semi-social hunters, and that having shorter forelimbs meant they were less likely to be accidentally bitten off by another rex. Ultimately concluding that it's from natural selection. Interesting to think that what may have once started as brachial dysplasia became the species norm.

8.3 million for the greatest fossil find ever is not too shabby, just sucks that it even had to come to that. Thankfully Sue will always be on display and she's given us so much knowledge! I hate that some fossils end up in private collections never to be seen or studied!

If you do look at other Pokemon that "seem" like Fossil Pokemon, you can't forget about Relicanth, who is stated in its Dex entries to be a living fossil.

5:26 translation from a bio major: the spikes were used for movement probably, as in as part of how the spine muscles worked, and/or moved a lot from flopping around as a sail

That Piccolo TeamFourstar 'Nerd Scream' killed me XD Such an interesting video~ Thank you for the explanations. I love how I always learn something when I watch a video on this channel 🥰 One quick edit though: Hadn't a Megalodon a larger destructive bite force than the Trex?

Fun fact, the colors of the sails on both Amaura and Aurorus do change colors in the orignal X and Y games. They only do it in Pokemon amie, though, which, if you didn't spend gross amounts of hours feeding them poke puffs and playing minigames, most players probably would never see. If you pet Aurorus and make it happy, the sails turn green, so it shows it's mood of happiness. If you tap it aggressively or drop a poke puff in front of it instead of feeding it when it's at maximum hunger, the sails will turn red, indicating anger. I think they can also ripple blue meaning sad as a reaction to poking it sometimes. Might fact check me on the blue color there.

4:58 Yes! That's the image from my dinosaur book. 33:34 and I think that top image is from another dino book. I think a Scholastic book about the extinction of the dinosaurs.

This video format was very interesting and I really enjoyed how you branched off to talk about other subjects such as Sue that although not Pokémon related, you made very captivating to the audience and helped us learn new information that typically wouldn’t of been known.

I wanted to be a Paleontologist since I was like 5, so this is by far my favorite series you've done yet. I always love your deep dives. Please continue it, because spreading knowledge on prehistory is always appreciated

I would add that it's dragon typing could be a reference to the word dinosaur not existing until the 1840s, having many papers and documentation using dragon as the original stand in word.

Yes! Definitely more vids about this stuff. I love what you guys do and really appreciate all what you’ve done to further our knowledge of PKMN. I would really like to express that I appreciate all the hard work you guys put into bringing us something new, and interesting, but most of all enjoyable. The Pokémon community is the best community. We all work together and as a community put our heads together to discover, decipher, and/or Learn all these things about our beloved series. And the community NEEDS Lockstin & Gnoggin for to lose you guys would be like losing our library of PKMN knowledge to a fire. So keep on doing what you’re doing and keep reminding us to use our Gnoggin.

I remember when Sie went on tour and came to the museum in Anchorage, Alaska. My parents were divorced and mom had my sister and I for the first half of summer. Sue was in Anchorage and mom took us to go see her... those memories came flooding back as you showed her on screen. Thanks for that Lockstin! 😊
