Welcome back to another episode of the Paleontology Fringe Theories Iceberg, where we finish off tier 3. Today's episode is definitely interesting and not at all problematic with 9/11 theories, scientific racism, alien encounters, psychic paleontologists, and so on. Enjoy!

At this point, we are finally over halfway through the iceberg! If I'm correct, I still have two more tiers to go, but they are filled to the brim with the weirdest, but most fascinating theories, hypotheses, and concepts I've seen in paleontology!

12:01 "Maybe they thought Tyrannosaurus was close enough to Tarbosaurus and just kinda went with it. I don't really know." Tarbosaurus was most closely related to Tyrannosaurus, and was originally described as Tyrannosaurus bataar. While Tarbosaurus is the more commonly accepted name now, some still stick to calling it Tyrannosaurus bataar for those reasons.

Tarbosaurus bazaar was first described by Maleev in 1955 from the 1945 expedition in Mongolia based on holotype specimen PIN 551-1. In 1988 Gregory S. Paul in his first major literary work "The Preditory Dinosaurs of the world" first referred to renaming Tarbosaurus bazaar to Tyrannosaurus bataar bringing this popular name to be transposed from the original scientific manuscript. Paul believed as many do to day that T. bazaar is directly related if not genetically identical yet scientists like Philip J. Currie offer various slight anatomical difference to justify the generic name. Recently Loewan 2013 has a revised cladogram that places T. bataar is a descendent of T rex. Figure that out.

I think you missed the point on Hutton’s Abyss of Time. Him laying the groundwork for modern uniformitarianism/actualism is nothing special. What was unusual about Hutton’s initial idea was not just that he thought that the Earth was way older than scripture suggested, but that the Earth literally does not have a starting point but has existed forever and goes through cycles where groups of animals continually disappear and reappear, meaning that after humans go extinct, dinosaurs will reappear again and such.

Totally a fan of your content, thanks for great entertainment! Small correction at 10:37 - the "ocean inside the Earth" is a metaphor. It's typically just tiny amounts of hydrogen or OH groups stored inside very dry crystals, but if you call it "water" and calculate on planetary scale... Here is your "ocean". Also ringwoodite and olivine are two different minerals. They have similar chemical formulas, but different arrangement of atoms inside. Olivine turns into ringwoodite at high pressure.

Same story if you look up different indigenous Siberian tribes' folklore about Chuchuuna and other "wild men". I think it was the folklore of the Yakuts (not 100% sure) which do not always distinguish between these hairy wild men and other local ethnic groups whom they warred with in the past... all of whom are of course perfectly homo sapiens. The Ukrainian-American paranormal youtuber Paul Stonehill mentions this in one of his deep vibe videos about the Chuchuuna.

I would love to see ongoing content similar to this right along side your normal output, as I love both. The Dino media content is always awesome. I wish maybe you'd branch out and cover things like the Dino explosion of popularity in the mid/late 1980s that lead to amazing cartoons and toy lines like Dino Riders and Dinosaucers. Going over that period of time in pop dinosaur culture, what the shows and toys got right/accurate, and the legacies of that media would make for really compelling and fun content.

No one will probably even read this…but I’m 39. Back when I was a teen I was gifted a hardcover book, very tall, probably almost 9 inches. A dark blue/black/grey color. It’s title was something about Unsolved Mysteries. Inside was article, most with pictures, about all kinds of mysteries throughout history. Including phenomena like raining frogs and blood, strange clouds, mystery disappearances, geographic phenomena like the carved stones and round balls of rock, cryptid sightings, etc. It was my favorite book! But inside was my favorite story…along with a PICTURE. I forget the year, I think it was late 1800-early 1900’s. But a group of men working for the railroad in America were making a tunnel through a mountain. They used dynamite. After one round of dynamite…the men saw a large boulder split open…and a pterodactyl flop out…try to stand…and then die. They said inside the boulder was the perfect impression of it’s body. And there was a picture of a group of dirty, morose men on each side of the pterodactyl…holding it up by its wings. I wish I could find that picture and the book again. It was so cool. Yes, probably a hoax. But it looked incredibly detailed and accurate, esp for the knowledge of dinosaurs at the time. It looked VERY real. Would love to see someone find it and review it. If anyone knows the book…PLS lmk!

I feel the thing that makes icebergs like these is how they're also a summary of stories and urban legends of a field. That part on the frozen dinosaur is clearly much like a story fossil diggers told around the campfire. I have a great interest in how these kinds of narrative emerge and iceberg memes cover all of this, urban legends, funny cases, attempts to pass quackery as science. It really creates a culture (or even a fandom, if you'd like to use this term) around paleontology, with all its stories and narratives.

How amazed am I, that such a time and place as this current world exists at all. Barely even a moment by the universes' standards. A flower opening are we. What shall our seeds grow into? Or, will there be no seeds at all? Your video is a forest of ideas, Bizarre and foreign yet welcoming. I thoroughly enjoyed getting lost in this place today.

Oh my god that thumbnail is like something of a night mare I had. It was this three legged, humanoid creature, which just crouched in the corner if my room staring at me, raising its trunk to growl / hiss at me if intrinsically to get out of bed.

In understanding the polygenst theory at 26:47 it’s important to remember the racism came first, and the scientific justification came second. It’s easy to look back at those times and poke holes in the science, but they weren’t racist because they had bad science. They were racist, and then created scientific theories to support what they believed. The same things happen today, but the science is better. The ironic thing is we now know through DNA evidence that different “races” do have different ancestors in a sense. Europeans have more Neanderthal DNA and Asians have more Denisovian DNA, while Africans have basically only human DNA. This has caused a shift in racist circles in response to the science, which now claim that Neanderthals were noble and strong and the source of the white “race” in contrast to decades past when they were viewed as subhuman and inferior.

18:27 The 1982 Croft book probably inspired one of the 1992 Bill Tidy dinosaur extinction cartoons (cataracts). These cartoons were featured in the dinosaur exhibition of the Natural History Museum in London for years (and their modified reproduction in a book led to an Intellectual Property dispute). I think Crofts theory might also have been mentioned in the 1983 British TV program The Dinosaur Trail. However, it's been 30 years since I last watched a recording it.

Although sauropods lack trunks, their actual nostrils were possibly nearer the tip of their snouts and were connected to the nostrils on their skulls via a fleshy structure.

@viccolasvic9461 Жыл бұрын

It's cool to think of because the sauropod nostril placement also was one of the arguing theories as to why they might have been semi aquatic.

While i can agree with you about reptiles not having the same kind of muscles mammals have (about the trunk sauropods) there's no modern example of long neck reptiles that we can compare with ancient ones besides since sauropods couldn't clean their faces nor get rid of annoying insects trying to suck the blood of their faces with their own hands there still chances that they had some mean to conpensate for this maybe being a trunk or something else completely different that we still don't know like elephants having trunks or giraffes having very long tongues

31:55 it's funny, cause in all areas of prehistory except australia and antartica really, a lot of prehistoric mammals pretty much were the same throughout the other continents. Just various ones went extinct in certain areas: For example America did have elephants, rhinos and cheetah roaming it, but they died out, Africa did that a bear, but it's gone now, The only places with unique fauna were again the two most isolated continents: antarica and australia.

There also used to be marsupials and monotremes on other continets as well they just also died out
