Hello man after man fan

Malawania was just fashionable late.

Lol

“You’re the best arou-ound!”

It happened 6 Million Years Ago

@@primusvsunicron1 only 6? So it did live longer than the average ichtyosaur

Where is it now? It moved to Loch Ness.

@@silvussol8966 nah it was a whale that moved to loch ness.

lmao

Rodan? Nevermind, I saw the fish part.

Funny since the last known Ichthyosaurs went extinct way before the Asteroid hit the Earth

ichtyosaurs were thought to have gone extinct like 40 million years before the dinosaurs, approximately the same difference in time between us and our weird squirrel-looking ancestors This ichtyosaur didn't even live that far past the other ichtyosaurs, but it's from a weird lineage which is confusing the researchers

We keep feeding it jello shots mixed with water from the fountain of youth. He is trashed ALL THE TIME but he hasn't died yet ;D

“If joe Biden wants to fossilize me, HE CAN COME TRY ME”

That's part of the United States in the Americas right? Surely there are no extant Ichthyosaurs.

DeSantis already killed you?@@sirchango2665

It's your right

Me: no, its from the late heavy bombardment

wanna see just how much freedom lucifer and his fallen angels have down here? Look at all of the evolution propaganda, then look at the comments of those same fallen angels in the comment section. Then look at all the institutions, buildings, books etc etc, that back evolution. Here's a fun fact: theres literally, not figuratively, no proof of evolution. Its all based on faith, just a rELiGiOn.

Hang on to this fallen angel. Wanna know if youre talking to the devil (tare, fallen angel, demon, unclean spirit) in disguise when it comes to the Kingdom of God? Here's how to spot em: They use their usual rhetoric, (a) Frame Control. (b) Baseless Assumptions, (c) Strawman Arguments, (d) Random Derogatory word or phrase (e) Sticking their head in the dirt like a perverse ostrich ignoring the obvious. (f) Some random off topic question or statement (aka Frame Control again, they'll make it seem innocent.) (g) Preparing a springboard to bail, or dropping a springboard to bail. They'll say a word or phrase and then high tail it, or that word or statement will give them a chance to high tail it. (h) They'll give you a look, or a couple looks. Wheat wont give you those looks, they're abnormal given whats going on or being discussed. To make it more accurate, it defies the conclusion one would arrive at given all the pieces that are on the table. (i) They'll use arbitrary dogmas to justify their cause or what they're saying. They'll make those arbitrary dogmas the standard of measurement, they'll sometimes do it by playing coy. (j) Reviling accusations. This literally just shows that they all know right from wrong.

And this, its a copy and paste of what I said to u tares before so that the wheat will see it: For any wheat reading this this life is literally just like that movie called the Truman show, in the sole sense that it's all a sham. This life also isn't a test, it's just a force fed hog tied experience. You're under lucifer's dogmas and bondage. Lucifer's dogmas replace actuality with his desired reality, while his bondage is his personal will for your life carried out via direct control. This form of control gives u a false sense of a personal will. This false sense of a personal will has tons of evidence of a lack of an actual will, hence the reason why u can't stop doing certain things or start doing certain things. Just ask the Lord for deliverance from lucifer's dogmas and bondage. And by the Lord I mean the God of the Bible, not the Roman catholic one. That one is lucifer's fraud. I'm talking about the Son of the Most High God, Jesus. You got nothing to lose, because after all, what can an imaginary wizard in the sky actually do? Not one thing. Edit: all false rEliGiOnS and churches all have one thing in common and that's the sinful lifestyle loop. Sin then ask forgiveness to then sin again. And that's because they're under lucifer's dogmas and bondage. There is no Deliverer there, just principalities and fallen angels playing pretend masquerading as people

hold on to this too: Here's a fun fact: luicfer's dogmas and bondage replace your God given physical appearance. He changes the way you look, sound, aptitude, personality, etc etc. The fallen angels in you acting as, through u, for u, replace u. It's seamless integration. This is one of the reasons why when you look in the mirror your appearance changes a lot. You will see different versions of yourself from time to time. None of em are you. If you arent strikingly handsome or drop dead gorgeous, that's not you. They'll give you a physical appearance thats "normal" or "average" thats not it either.

If you have multiple personalities based on who you're around and what you're doing, wearing, saying etc that's just them you're feeling in u. As I said, they act as u, through u, for u, while also interacting with you in the world Edit: 1 soul = 1 personality, not multiple personalities based on what you're exposed to. But, one perfect one, your soul.

Just like Paulie Shore

@@redflag4035 heeheehee

Ok apple

Very yes

Dolphins are ichthyosaur wannabes that got the tail wrong.

EdJUber Forgive me if you already know this. Cetaceans once had 4 limbs, hence the evolutionary reason their tails are horizontal!!! Interesting, huh ??

​@gaylereid8264 The tail flukes of modern cetaceans didn't evolve from hind limbs. The hind limbs simply disappeared.

That's the coalicanth

I totally saw one. Well, my old roommate did. His other friend.

@@flaparoundfpv8632 It was just a basking shark

@@osmacar5331 no coalaosnnanththrne ain’t no ducking dinosab

@@Shrekfromthehitmovieshrek neither were ichthyosaurs

🤣👍🏽

Mary anning:

Are sea cows cetaceans?

@@rianantony No, they are sirenians and are thus closer to Elephants than Whales.

KPg extinction 66 million years ago. But first amphibious whales around 18-19 million years later. It takes time for life to recover from mass extinctions.

I'm pretty sure that some "crocodiles with dolphin tails and fins" did evolve in the Paleogene? I can't remember what they were called though (and apparently crocodilimorphs with fins and dolphin tails re-evolve every couple hundred million years or so, so there's a lot of species clogging up my google search).

@@stewartgames6697 nope all fully aquatic crocs were from the cretaceous, none has existed since.

A living fossil is an animal assumed to have been extinct but is not. As far as we know all icthyosaurs are extinct

@@cocoanerd17.-. they mean that a member of the lineage lived far longer than expected. They aren’t saying they’re still alive.

@@cocoanerd17.-. Well yes but at its time it wasn't extinct when it was thought to be. Hence its a fossil "living fossil" at least that was how I interpreted it

@@Dragrath1 Ooooh. Gotcha

Good stuff mate, hope you find something cool!

There should be a jurassic park for fossil enthusiasts!

It's humbling to realise how long, and in so many forms of life existed before people. At just a free million years, we've barely scratched the surface of life on Earth.

the awesome

The Reptilian counterpart of Cetaceans

@@lukejones7164 Except Icthyosaurs seem to have gotten smaller and more streamlined as time went on, whereas ceteceans got bigger and bigger Compare Shastasaurus to Opthalmosaurus vs Basilosaurus to Sperm Whale

@@mariomouse8265 Actually, Ichtyosaurs got bigger too as time went on. In fact, scientists now believe that the largest Reptiles ever were generally Ichtyosaurs (and not Sauropods) because some recently found Ichtyosaur fossils were comparable in size to even the largest Whales.

@@lukejones7164 Were these Late Jurassic or Cretaceous Icthyosaurs and not Triassic or Early Jurassic Icthyosaurs? The largest Icthyosaurs species to my knowledge were animals like Shastasaurus and Shonisaurus, from the late Triassic/Early Jurassic

We have some pretty epic animals alive today. None of which aren’t being murdered by humans unfortunately.

Then we might not have had cetaceans

Maybe that's why people are trying to bring back these creatures instead of the ones we're loosing. We just think these are cooler.

@@DankestDestroyer1098 marine reptiles are cooler than cetaceans. Cetaceans look ugly af. Marine reptiles look cool as heck

@@DankestDestroyer1098 That isn't the reason for de-extinction being a thing and never will be. That's a horrible argument for bringing back an extinct creature. We can't bring back anything that old anyway, right now we are working on Mammoths and Passenger Pigeons that can still play a vital role in their ecosystems if brought back.

I wanna get a time machine so bad

@The Mutt with no Butt Hitler already had a brother.

Temnodontosaurus was an ichthyosaur though. Unless you are including cannibalism with ichthyosaurs?

@@safron2442 yes i m including cannibalism with ichthyosaurs

@@safron2442 Cannibalism is common among reptiles.

@@KhanMann66 I'm aware, but they never clarified that in their original comment. Temnodontosaurus is not separate from ichthyosaurs so it was worded weirdly

every1 haveing a civil discusion of your comment and im just loosing my shit over that "face" ._.

they might have gotten bigger than blue whales

@@lost-Eclipse there was an ichthyosaur in the age of dinosaurs that was bigger than blue whales. Theu found the fossils in england

@@trvth1s bit disingenuous that, since we can only go rough estimates from very fragmentary gossip remains

@@bri1085 Also if it's the one I'm thinking of, even the largest estimates put it at the low to mid range for blue whales. So calling it definitively bigger as a species is just flat out tabloid speak.

They likely wouldn't survive too much longer. But it would be neat to have at least one or two or three lineages survive, until they die out and Whales/Dolphins take their place.

We'd probably call them "false dolphins" as we've done with other lookalike animals like false crabs and false wasps.

What about the difference in tail?

@@ChrissieBear there would be no dolphins and possibly orcas, because they would simply fill their niche instead

@@thespecter6416 Dolphins would outcompete them most likely

@@MMO10216 Yeah, I realized it when I looked into the intellectual difference deeper between those species.

Both evolved into looking like fish.

Why not other clades of tetrapods? Like some megafaunal niches also being filled by squamates and mammals.

There is a video about it in curious archives's channel

@@ronanparis3511 I believe until 65 million years in the future is the age of mammals 65 To 80 million years in the future Is the age of birds

It could.

If you want an epic bit of bird evolution, go check out the Serina project!

Short answer, no. Like modern whales and Dolphins, these aquatic reptiles were adapted for a wide range of habitat.

Some Late Jurassic-Early Cretaceous ichthyosaur fossils show deformities consistent with dysbaric osteonecrosis, indicating that they ventured into deep water frequently enough to suffer from decompression sickness.

Was there a National Museum in Iraq back in 1950's? Because the video precisely said that was when the rock was recovered and donated to the museum in London.

@@venn2001ad Also if only one guy was working on ichthyosaurs, then what's weird about the fossil going to his location?

England once again stealing shit that doesn't belong to them, no surprises here.

@@venn2001ad Actually, there was. It's been around for almost a century now: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iraq_Museum

@@venn2001ad Yes, there was.

Creatures evolve and survive to reproduce more, so they're better clades, it's really basic.

@@swxqt6826 That does NOT mean entire groups of taxa displace other taxa in the same niche to survive. Evolution tends to favour solutions that REDUCE competition (remember, evolution has no foresight), so if a niche is already fully occupied with no room for coexistence it’s rare that another clade will break into that niche and outcompete the original occupiers, even if they could do a better job in that niche.

@@bkjeong4302 If clades do better than other clades, they take the niche. Or if they weren't able to survive anywhere else.

@@swxqt6826 If a niche is already occupied another clade doesn’t even get the chance to break into that niche, unless there’s enough resources for both clades to have the same niche anyways without either displacing the other. Evolution does NOT have any foresight or end goal. It selects for features that aid IMMEDIATE survival. A clade breaking into an occupied niche because it can evolve to do better in that niche than the clade that currently has that niche does NOT favour immediate survival at the individual level, and is NOT selected for.

@@bkjeong4302 Whatever helps them survive is what they're going to do. As an example, look at the Mosasaur, it arose from a simple monitor lizard on land. It was nowhere near the size and strength of the dinosaurs, so instead of being on land, it jumped into the water and started to become a marine animal, even though fishes like xiphactinus could still easily eat it alive. Which meant they had to stay near the shorelines. Now of course, since they eventually got bigger and bulkier, they started getting into deeper waters and became more and more fit to that environment. Until they were capable of killing a xiphactinus on its own. So yes, they can take a niche from another animal.

I think they did it for opposite reasons. Can you imagine a better place to display the fossil than a well trafficed set of steps? A museum is the obvious choice, but how would a worker from a quarry in Iraq go about that in the 1950s? I think In the same situation with the same resources a wall or set of steps is really the best place to show off that cool rock you found with bones in it.

Eh?
