I agree. I find the flora and insects sometimes more interesting than your typical large mammals and predators. I like hearing about trees that dwarf those huge sequoias in California or palms that were twenty meters across or the first carnivorous plants. That stuff is exciting to me lol
I love how a small, slow, harmless, and cute mollusk like the modern Nautilus species had absolutely terrifying relatives back in the Ordovician. But I guess the fact that they remained small is how the Nautiloids actually managed to live past the Ordovician mass extinction and every subsequent mass extinction as well. They might not survive us though, their shells are over-harvested. They have lingered on for so long, it’d be really sad to see this relic of the past fade away.
I love how you present these, not as a list but rather more like a story being told on another world, and the music actually hits that perfectly! I do wonder what you will evolve into next 🤔
I enjoy the way he tells the story. His writing is really easy for me to grasp. I always struggled to pay attention when learning about this stuff before.
This is the period In which all the fossils around my house come from. You can't step out my front door without seeing a crinoid fossil if you're real lucky you can find a trilobite I found like three in my whole life. There is literally the entire rockface at the creek that runs by my house in the woods that's entirely made up of tiny little crinoid stem fossils millions and billions and billions of what look like Smarties. If you start looking within five minutes you'll find the tops the tentacle part at the top. But they don't quite preserve as well. I would love to find a sea scorpion someday.
Where I live it is the same. So many crinoid bits. I did find a small trilobite last yeah too! As far as I have been able to figure out, the fossils are from the Ordovician.
@@l.mcmanus3983 I'm in Bloomington Indiana. I'm pretty sure its ordovician rock where I live, but wear my brother-in-law lives in Morgan County Indiana it's all Carboniferous Mississippian. He's got a lot of darker Shell Rock where mine is moore crinoids and Limestone despite us only living about 30 min away from each other. It's harder to find fossils at his house but I have found a few mostly just nodules and a few plant imprints, trace fossils.
Thanks for including the continental position in this. I rarely see phanerozoic period coverage talk about the geology in relation to the flora and fauna.
I really appreciate how acessible you make these videos. I was raised religious and evolution and many science related topics were banned in my house, and being on my own now, it's just been hard to get a grasp of the real world. Thank you for making it easy to understand, it's all so fascinating.
Goodness am I glad to have found this channel. Just finished catching up on the series and I'm rather impressed. Out of curiosity, extinction events prior to the Cambrian aren't talked about that much, but I presume they still happened, what with several billion years for large catastrophic events to occur like the snowball earths. So, that being said, why aren't snowball earth events typically included in the lists of mass extinctions and why aren't other Precambrian mass extinctions really talked about?
Mostly for two main reasons, 1) Life was not nearly as diverse during this time and the fossil evidence makes it very difficult to say in any great detail what biomes were like and how they were chaging before the Ediacaran/ Cambrian. 2) Because at this point we are talking about billions of years, there are comparitivly very few geological sites where rocks that old still exist. Most have been destroyed by a combination of erosion and volconism. So even most of the information I talked about (especially in the first 2 episodes) is highly speculative and are heavily debated among Geologists. So basically, yes there was probably more than five major mass extictions. but lacking scientific evidence makes it hard to be sure of more than that.
@@PaleoAnalysis That really clears things up! Lack of geologic evidence and the relatively low diversity of life were my initial guesses, but it's really nice to see that I'm not just insane. Can't wait for the next vid!
It's almost bittersweet. I am definitely someone who wants to know as much of "what really happened" as I can. Yet that is inherently almost impossible for the period. It's just as fascinating as it is anything, though. 😁👍
@@leopard2a743 Yes! So glad to see I'm not the only fan here. They do awesome stuff. Just yesterday (from when I wrote this) they released an episode about the Ediacaran! The only problem I have with that series is that the new episodes come out so slowly. But it's worth it. :)
Geologic time is still so difficult to comprehend. Wow. So fascinating to imagine. I sometimes stop and think if I could go back in time millions of years what I would see on this very spot where I'm standing, assuming and hoping it would be on some kind of land mass in a breathable environment, just to see some of these plants and creatures alive!
Yeah. It's so weird to imagine that we're closer temporally to the end of the cretaceous than said time is to the mid Jurassic. Deep time is really weird.
Woah what timing! I found your channel couple of hours ago, watched the previous episodes today (haven't seen your other videos just yet), and then the continuation gets posted today as well :D Fantastic work.
I'm very intrigued about this series, I feel like it could become one of my favorites in all of my favorite paleontological CZcams channels, can't wait for the next episode and the ones following that
I live right outside of Cincinnati and I have the fortunate pleasure of living on top of one of the most productive Ordovician fossil beds in the world! I've found everything from crinoids to trilobites and due to the fact that I live near lots of exposed bedrock, sometimes when I walk in rocky areas the ground crunches from stepping on the brachiopod shells!
This series of videos ought to be teaching material for (US) 6th / 7th grade introduction to biology class. It is vastly more informative & definitely entertaining even to an 40-something adult.
I would recommend AronRa’s systemic classification of life series. 50 episodes of general surveys of ecosystems primarily focused on features as they evolved in our ancestors
Good series, but he went through those geological periods very quickly. This series spends more time on each geological period, as other stuff such as anatomy and classification don’t need to be touched upon.
@@juanjoyaborja.3054 Yeah because the universe was created with a random explosion and humans descend from bacteria that makes a lot of sense 😹😹 Funny how atheist's are so adamant and militant against the idea of creation and God. Atheist's can't even explain how the mass particles and energy came into existence before their beloved big bang explosion They either claim the electrons, protons, quarks, always existed and were never created, or that matter particles and reality just randomly popped up into existence. No logical explanation
I've only discovered your channel yesterday, but already watched most of the complete history of Earth series. Must say I am very much enjoying it. Keep it up. Looking forward next episodes
I'm loving your videos of this series!!!!! I hope you can cover the sylurian soon, I'm so excited!! Your videos are helping me be able to study again after many years of anxiety and depression, and you also helped me discover a love for paleontology!! I finally figured out what to do with my life, I'm gonna be a paleontologist! 😁
I knew next to nothing about these parts of paleo history but these videos have been a blast and I finally think I have a grasp of some concepts. I think I will read some more.
Back in the 1980s/1990s, I was intrigued by a feature - Charity Shoal - visible on bathymetric maps of far northeastern Lake Ontario (Canadian waters). The lake bed there is underlain by the Trenton Formation, a Middle Ordovician sequence of limestone with thin shale couplets. The shoal resembles a 1+km-wide atoll - or frying pan - with a "tail/handle" to the SW, the latter apparently caused by later Pleistocene glaciation. Subsequent field research (by others) revealed it to be a probable meteorite crater, with younger Ordovician limestone beds 'draped' over the rim, indicating its possible time of origin. It does not appear on maps showing paleocraters attributed to the Ordovician Meteor Event, but the timing looks pretty good. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charity_Shoal_crater
I am just loving your presentations on the history of the earth, as an average person with an interest in natural history I am learning so much from you, you present in a manner that is easily understood. Thank you
Except it bounced back over the course of literally millions or tens of millions of years. That doesn't exactly help our species, much less modern civilization.
@@PaleoAnalysis but South Amarica had both Xenarthrans and it own group of ungulates. not to mention the predators, instead of bears, felines, and canids there were sparassodonts, phorusrhacids, and sebecids.
I live in the bottom of the Central Basin/Nashville Basin in middle Tennessee. We are right on top of bedrock formed during the Ordovician period. Your video is appreciated.
Woot, another outstanding video. Really enjoyed the focus, not many people give both the Ordovician flora and fauna the proper attention they deserve. 🦖 Check out that steadily raising sub count. Its no wonder, this has become one of my favorite places to come for prehistoric content and I'm pretty sure others are quickly catching on to how great your content is!
I just found your channel last night. I’m really enjoying the history of the earth. I’ve went through all of them that you have up. Btw you have a new subscriber. Since I’m through with this series so far I’m going to watch some of your other videos. Btw I’m 54 and only have a high school education, and you make these really easy to understand. Thank you so much for that.
Love your videos! It's really clear how much you love what you do, and it reflects in the quality of your content. I also like watching these videos because they remind me of the quote about evolution teaching us our kinship with all living things. So interesting to see our journey from unicellular organism to human. It shows us how connected we are to all life!
I love the way this dude makes everything easy to understand.A lot of other channels you have a hard time understanding what they are talking about. I think they do that trying to look smart.
The fossiles at 8.31 when he showed those fossiles, I have some off those myself, I wasn't entierly sure what those fossiles were I was told "Pre historic squid" when I did get them. Now I can actully mark the actual name! Thanks alot! Been wierdly hard to figure out what those were! 😀
I like this series. Although I read a lot of things about it, and when I was a kid I was obsessed with the mesosoic, as I grew up I became more interested in the eras, and periods, that are less known to us. Waiting in anticipation for my favourite geologic time - the Permian.(because in this era the reptiles and stem mammals were still neck to neck in who would be more successful and rise to dominance, though the stem mammals won this battle, eventually they'd lose the war on the long run) my second favourite is the Triassic.
This series is sooo interesting!! I'm learning a lot, and that's probably because I don't know much about the early stages of the evolution of life. When we're getting to the Mesozoic point, this will definitely change. Anyways, the discussed periods of time are way more interesting than I thought they were actually! Always happy to see when I see you've made a new video for this series!
Can't thank you enough for all the work you put into this series so far. I know it's an enormous undertaking given how vast a history you're covering. I appreciate that you offer a broad spectrum of context, including geological info and plant evolution. I would LOVE to see a detailed video from you on ancient fungus / the evolution of fungus, if that's a subject that interests you! Either way, I can't wait to see what you post next :)
Thank you for making this video and also I release an album last year under my Viral Monstrosity project that is mainly about the a lot of the major events in our planet's history including a song about the O-S mass extinction event as well.The name of it is The Suffering from Earth's Existence if you want to listen to it some time.
The artist got the Ordovician period accurately. Just adding some caustics to the images with sunlight and shallow water reflections and it would be dead on. Beautiful channel. Love your work. This is great storytelling. Thank you.
Really like the ost you play at 11:18, when talking about the extinction. Really gives me the feeling of a bygone age, and how terrifying it would be to experience this as a Trilobite 😆.
It's truly amazing how many changes this planet has gone through, the common theme is that no matter what happened life found a way to survive and in time it would thrive
Wonderful set of videos, just one question though: The geological timescales are in the millions of years but what were the lifespans of the various creatures you're talking about ? How many generations of the creatures would fit into the periods in question.
The key to understanding the evolution of fish is the shape, they are all shaped more or less like remoras. Their weird little armored heads were a way of hitching a ride on the shells of the arthropods and cephalopods of the time. Works great then and now.
The Earth will do just fine, regardless of climate change or catastrophy. Whether or not we find a way to keep it habitable is the big question. We are the ones whose existence is in peril, not Earth; she'll shake us off like a bad case of irritating fleas.
One thing I always look forward to in this series is the leveling up XD but also, thank you for making this series and I seriously hope you continue! it's really informative in a bite-sized format. Great for me as I'm starting to research paleontology seriously
Hi! Just recently discovered your channel and binged this series. I really love how informative it is while remaining entertaining (the running gag with Timtim, the Pokémon leaf green evolution stuff). It's great, keep up the good work!
Man I just came across your page, and I'm in like 10 videos deep now. Awesome content, I always loved the history of this planet but never knew a lot about it. Thanks for making fun digestible videos!
In many ways I find learning about the really early life like this more fascinating than I do learning about the dinosaurs or the age of the great mammals.
13:22 Wait, how did the cyanobacteria choke out the life in the oceans? Don't they fart out oxygen? Wouldn't that counteract the lowered oxygen levels that killed out most of the animals? Loving this series, by the way! And I'm extremely emotionally invested in Tim-Tim's fate!
When I subscribed about an hour ago, there were 20.3k subscribers. While going through this series, it went up to 20.4k and now, after I have finished the last one, 20.5k, wooo hooo!
Interesting to see how various life affected their habitat. It makes it easier to see how something as small, or smaller than a human can bring about big changes. The fact we're aware of the affect we're having doesn't seem to be doing a lot to influence our behavior. Some influences are stronger than others. Our drive to accumulate and maximize the accumulation of resources may be the death of us yet.
I'm glad you're including plants rather than just focusing on animals and hope you continue to
Plants are gay
Good call, they are the basis for everything else
Without causing energy from the sun, what other lifeforms are even possible?
I agree. I find the flora and insects sometimes more interesting than your typical large mammals and predators. I like hearing about trees that dwarf those huge sequoias in California or palms that were twenty meters across or the first carnivorous plants. That stuff is exciting to me lol
@@ThePurza Apart from chemotrophs and the life forms that feed on them not very much.

It's truly amazing how many changes this planet has gone through, the common theme is that no matter what happened life found a way to survive and in time it would thrive
I love the order in which you present all these videos
Wonderful set of videos, just one question though:
The geological timescales are in the millions of years but what were the lifespans of the various creatures you're talking about ?
How many generations of the creatures would fit into the periods in question.
Thinking at such great distances back in time it makes u feel so insignificant...thank you for this videos.
The key to understanding the evolution of fish is the shape, they are all shaped more or less like remoras. Their weird little armored heads were a way of hitching a ride on the shells of the arthropods and cephalopods of the time. Works great then and now.
The Earth will do just fine, regardless of climate change or catastrophy. Whether or not we find a way to keep it habitable is the big question. We are the ones whose existence is in peril, not Earth; she'll shake us off like a bad case of irritating fleas.
Looking forward to the Silurian recovery video Paleo Analysis!
Have very much enjoyed these videos. Thank you, and I look forward to our continuing journey through time.
This is so coool!
This geological era is named after the Ordos who were a Celtic tribe of ancient Europe. The Sileurs (Silurian geologic era) were also a Celtic tribe.
One thing I always look forward to in this series is the leveling up XD but also, thank you for making this series and I seriously hope you continue! it's really informative in a bite-sized format. Great for me as I'm starting to research paleontology seriously
Hi! Just recently discovered your channel and binged this series. I really love how informative it is while remaining entertaining (the running gag with Timtim, the Pokémon leaf green evolution stuff). It's great, keep up the good work!
Dude I just recommended your channel to my entire fb and personally to around 10 friends and their families. Great job!
It's the fact that it's not the same really popular stuff AGAIN that has me watching.
Man I just came across your page, and I'm in like 10 videos deep now. Awesome content, I always loved the history of this planet but never knew a lot about it. Thanks for making fun digestible videos!
These videos are even better than PBS! Many thanks!!
Now this is really awesome
Just finished the last video.So it was a surprised to be sure.I found your channel from Keenan Taylor by the way.
I love this series! I love ancient life and I find that I've gotten bored of dinosaur stuff over time. I love this lesser known stuff!
In many ways I find learning about the really early life like this more fascinating than I do learning about the dinosaurs or the age of the great mammals.
These time periods truly fascinate me! Thanks for this series!
These are really well done.
Unbelievable how great your presentation was AND ending with the optimistic message to us all🙃, still going strong unextincted
This video and your entire series is phenomenally well researched and presented.
13:22 Wait, how did the cyanobacteria choke out the life in the oceans? Don't they fart out oxygen? Wouldn't that counteract the lowered oxygen levels that killed out most of the animals? Loving this series, by the way! And I'm extremely emotionally invested in Tim-Tim's fate!
Too much oxygen is poisonous
When I subscribed about an hour ago, there were 20.3k subscribers. While going through this series, it went up to 20.4k and now, after I have finished the last one, 20.5k, wooo hooo!
Interesting to see how various life affected their habitat. It makes it easier to see how something as small, or smaller than a human can bring about big changes. The fact we're aware of the affect we're having doesn't seem to be doing a lot to influence our behavior. Some influences are stronger than others. Our drive to accumulate and maximize the accumulation of resources may be the death of us yet.
my absolute favourite period!!
