- Monster in the Hollow - The Story of Missouri’s Ozark Dinosaurs
Professor Fix has been a member of UMSL's Physics faculty since 1976 and is responsible for teaching all of the Geology classes and labs that are offered through the department. He is a graduate of Washington University’s department of Earth and Planetary Sciences with a focus in paleontology and stratigraphy.
He was chosen by the UM - St. Louis campus to receive an Emerson Outstanding Teaching Award for 2010.
His research concerns the only known dinosaur site in the entire state of Missouri, which is known as the Chronister Site after the family that originally owned the land when dinosaur remains were first found by accident in 1942.
He is a member of the Missouri Ozark Dinosaur Project that is affiliated with the Bollinger County Museum of Natural History in Marble Hill, Missouri. The project has been conducting a scientific excavation at the site since 1999 and has uncovered the remains of three types of dinosaurs: a hadrosaur (duck-billed dinosaur) named Hypsibema missouriense (the official Missouri state dinosaur), a tyrannosaurid (a relative of T. rex) and a dromaeosaur (a relative of Velociraptor). The site has also produced fossils of freshwater turtles, a strange type of tortoise with a beaded shell and spiny legs, crocodiles, a bizarre large amphibian with no back legs, and fish such as gar, bowfin, and freshwater sharks and rays.
I cannot believe there is a lecture on this and online no less!
Extremely fascinating.
Mike, a great presentation. So much more material than when we found that tooth and toe in the 1980s. Congrats to one and all.
I dont mean to be offtopic but does anybody know of a way to log back into an instagram account?
I somehow lost the login password. I would appreciate any tricks you can give me!
@Kareem Cain Instablaster :)
@Curtis Omari Thanks so much for your reply. I found the site through google and im in the hacking process now.
Seems to take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Curtis Omari It did the trick and I now got access to my account again. I am so happy!
Thank you so much, you saved my ass :D
@Kareem Cain You are welcome xD
My wife and I recognize the woman MC as a onetime student of St. Charles West High School, right? I didn’t see her name in the attribution.
@35:30, those are common Louisiana fish. They both can survive in oxygen depleted water because they can come to the surface and gulp air. That’s how they survived bad times, from the time of dinos to today.
I happen to know that a very large leg bone was found beneath hiway 71 in Springdale Ar. and it was suppressed by the construction company .... I know where the bone is .
Why did they suppress it? They didn't want to lose their permits?
@@BlGGESTBROTHER yes would have halted progress on major business artery
If Im not mistaken many of the rocks in the Ozarks (specifically) are largely Ordovician and Devonian, so before the dinosaurs, which if Im not mistaken should be largely aquatic, I could be wrong. There were many species that were already extinct before the dinosours and even before the so called "Cambrian Explosion" (which lasted millions and millions of years as opposed to all of a sudden)
Nice job!
Do you still own the property? How fortunate you had the foresight to purchase it.
yes!@@VABmo
@@VABmo yes, I still own it however the site is currently being worked by the Field Museum, Chicago Ill.
My gosh I cant stand people. Who would vandalize a dig site? Same people who rob cemeteries and destroy memorials.
Great find!!! I dig it. Lol
But yeah the find was awsome.
How they went about it was very dumb.
The structure was built like crap. That's why it fell..
I could put that up in 1 day. And solid..
That dino was crushed by the land slide. Look up further for the rest of it.
Nice Job!!!!
Where in Missouri have you found fossils? Do you ever find Dinosaur eggs? If so do you have photos? I believe I have some, Franklin Co area. Petrified wood in same area. Thanks
What you have is Pennsylvanian in age. Still pretty cool. And if it is bone you have, might be fish or amphibian.
Im in same area...but dont know...
Lots of poo and I have a 500 million yr old horseshoe crab.
I also live in Franklin County. You do not have fossilized dinosaur eggs. What you have are called chert nodules. I have. many. Of all sizes.
Great info. to know.
I still use this for my Earth Science students - they always find it interesting. Thank you for recording this!
Hypsibema missouriensis
I suppose that paleontologists do not always agree with geologists about the timeline of events. They will find the remains of land and sea animals, plants and shells in one earth layer. And also in the layer beneath and the one on top. When we look at the many horizontal strata that we find everywhere on our planet, we see clearly the effect of a repeating cataclysm. These disasters are mentioned in ancient books as the Mahabharata from India and the Popol Vuh from the Maya and others. They tell us about a cycle of seven disasters that separate world eras. Regularly recurring disasters can certainly not been caused by asteroid impacts or volcanic eruptions. The only possible cause can be another celestial body, most likely a planet, that orbits our sun in an eccentric orbit. Then it is near the sun for only a short period and after the crossing it disappears into the universe for a long time. Planet 9 exists, but seems to be invisible. These disasters cause a huge tidal wave of seawater that is pulled over the earth “above the highest mountains”. At the end it covers the earth with a layer of mud, a mix of sand, clay, lime, fossils from sea and land animals and meteors. They also create a cycle of civilizations. To learn much more about the cycle of recurring floods and its timeline, the recreation of civilizations and ancient high technology, read the eBook: "Planet 9 = Nibiru". You can read it nicely on any computer, tablet or smartphone. Search: invisible nibiru 9
Yeah, I don't think so. Let me guess, intelligent design advocate?
No, Ancient knowledge that is available in many different forms for everyone who is searching for it but that knowledge is forgotten, neglected or denied by all scientists. I found the common thread that connects many puzzle pieces of our past. Scientist don’t even know what they don’t know
@@nibiruresearch then you have knowledge that you need to publish.
@@adamgilbert9176 Thank you, I do that in my book that is mentioned above.
