Largest Squid relative in the fossil record
Belemnites were hyperabundant in the Mesozoic, but unfortunately good fossils of them have been few and far in between. Now, new fossils from France let researchers understand their anatomy better, and showing researchers just how large, the largest could have become.

The New Largest Ever Snake, Vasuki indicus
Переглядів 122 тис.Місяць тому
Vasuki indicus is a new species of giant snake from the Eocene of India. Not directly related to modern snakes, it was massive, potentially larger than even Titanoboa. It also lived around the same time, as Titanoboa, but on the opposite of the world from South America, in India. Meaning that the Eocene globally was a major factor in allowing massive snakes to evolve. Read the paper here: www.n...

    For killing with its claws by kicking, a straight claw like a cassowary's would be better. To kill with claws like an eagle, it is necessary to have a reversed back claw to be able to apply the necessary force. Therefore the use of the sickle claw to bring down running prey by kicking it, to hold down prey, and to allow climbing trees all make sense, especially given the small size of most raptor dinosaurs.

    What idiocy...Birds were contemporaries of dinosaurs in the fossil record and yet now they are teaching that birds originated from dinosaurs. The fact is there is no evidence in the fossil record of dinosaurs transitioning into birds and macro evolution has never been observed in nature. Stephen Jay Gould put it this way: “The extreme rarity of transitional forms in the fossil record persists as the trade secret of paleontology. The evolutionary trees that adorn our text- books have data only at the tips and nodes of their branches; the rest is inference, however reasonable, not the evidence of fossils."

      ​@@alantasman8273 a single out of context quote from a long dead paleontologist is not a valid arguement. If you are actually willing to engage in a good faith discussion about what transitional forms we do have that connect birds to the non avian dinosaurs, I am more then willing to have that conversation. If instead your are just going to copy paste your mindless drivel without ever engaging in any form of critical thinking, then such a discussion would be pointless. Edit: since youtube hid your first comment from me for some reason, I was not able to address it in my initial comment. My point is that that just because birds existed at the same time as some dinosaurs, that doesnt exclude them from being dinosaurs, just as cats existing at the same time as deer doesnt exclude either from being mammals.

    When I was a child, we often unearthed bits of belemnite in our back garden. I live in central England, and our garden sits directly atop the Oxford Clay- in fact, there used to be a brick factory on the edge of town. The funny thing is that whilst we found plenty of belemnites, we didn't find even a single ammonite fossil- plenty of brachiopod shells, the sort that's called 'giant's toe nails' but no ammonites. It suggests that in this bit of the Jurassic archipelago sea, there was a distinct partitioning of the two types of ancient cephalopod.

      In fact, we took octopus from modern scientific Latin soon after the invention of the name, not directly from Greek. The plural form octopi has been used for over 200 years in English, it is a valid form now. Oktapous ὀκτάπους and oktopous ὀκτώπους were Greek but we stole them and changed the spelling to Latinise them. They are ours now and we can do what we want with them. Irregular plurals happen in English. Do you insist that peas is singular and peasen/peeses the plural?
