Crypt of the Megafauna
In 2023 a large quantity of Ice Age megafauna fossils were discovered in a cave in Mexico. The cave, however, is full of challenges: a tight vertical entrance, deep water, and long crawls. This film documents the efforts of a small group of cavers led by Cave Biologist Dr. Luis Espinasa to retrieve the fossils with the assistance of a FIFISH Underwater Robot (ROV) and expert ROV pilot Michael Girard. And to answer the question: how did thousands of bones from mammoths, glyptodonts, camels, sloths, wolves, and cats end up in this cave? Was it the work of ice age humans?

    Without the motor? How would this thing draft? Could you row it down a shallow river without dragging the whole times

  • @jameslister866
    @jameslister866 Před 2 dny

    Also there are in the mine I'm referring to that it runs deep and has a few tunnels from the main shaft. Again it would be cool if you could R.O.V. that mine.

  • @jameslister866
    @jameslister866 Před 2 dny

    Mike, there is an old abandoned lead-silver mine in middletown ct. It is located between the Ct river and Silver St. in middletown. One of the mines looks like it's backed filled. The other is completely filled with water up to the main entrance. It would be cool if you could do a video on that mine with ROV footage of what it looks like. It has been worked on and off in its history until it completely flooded back in the early 1800's.

    I kept thinking it would be from the same word as Saginaw. Did it originally mean the name of a group of people? Maybe they moved south. It just seems too close to not be connected.

  • @jonathanderin503
    @jonathanderin503 Před 11 dny

    D700 was the last of the depots stocked by Hillary’s party, and from here he sent a message to Fuchs advising the party would now attempt to reach the South Pole. The Ross Sea Committee advised Hillary he was not to travel further than D700 and separately Fuchs also asked Hillary to abandon his journey from D700 to the Pole. But Sir Ed wanting fame and glory made a dash for the pole against all orders from the expedition leader. The exhibition was about a crossing of the South Pole and not a journey to the pole.

    Cool channel. There’s also a cave system in Golf Road in Dalton, MA. They’re boulder caves but the deepest and longest I’ve encountered. You can enter, cross under the road and pop out about 30 yards away.

    Extreme human hubris: entering the den of a potential family of animals. What do you think will happen when you encounter a mother with her children who reside in that cave? Imagine a large animal breaking/entering your home in the middle of the night...how would you react? Wouldn't you defend your home in every way possible? Nature deserves more respect from humans...mapping caves is one thing...entering them is trespassing.

    Hello Mike, I'm new to making a comment on your channel. Well, I've been curious about the lost mine of Dutchy. It is located somewhere near the spruce brook which is a tributary to the Naugatuck River. Would definitely be interesting if you find it and can explore it.

    I am trying to do the same thing with mine currently , I have a johnson 25 outboard I just bought. I was wondering what trim hole your boat is running with , as well as roughly how high you had to raise your motor on your jackplate. If I measure from the bottom of the transom on mine to the top of the leading edge of the jet foot I'm at 7 and 7/8ths with my trim bolt in the second hole .

    Do you have to do repairs on that motor after such a trip? How about on the boat? This is definitely something no one else does.

    It looks like they followed a fault line for at least some of the tunnel. Basically anywhere you see a big smooth surface on the walls and ceiling is going to be a fault lime.
