- How long were the claws of Allosaurus? Join me for a tour of the amazing specimens at Morrison Natural History Museum in Morrison, Colorado. The Morrison Formation is a distinctive sequence of Upper Jurassic sedimentary rock found in the western United States which has been the most fertile source of dinosaur fossils in North America. Recent finds have included baby Stegosaurus fossils, baby sauropod tracks, and the missing muzzle of Apatosaurus ajax. Learn Greek and Latin roots of prehistoric animal names.

Haha I’ll add you to the credits
Your channel is honestly the best on youtube. For an aspiring polymath like myself, I can truly say, that ALL of your videos are great
That’s very kind of you! Please share this video where people might like dinosaur content; I hope to grow that part of my viewership
Agreed
I am stupid, and never thought that polymath is the man, than knows stuff hahae. And I was thinking about myself being something like polymath for a long time xD. In polish we say człowiek renesansu - the man of renaissance, or something hahae.
I'm inspired by your dedication not just to languages, but to lifelong learning.
Many thanks. There shall be more on all topics
OMG!!!! I love the baby Stegosausus!!!!!!!! 🥰❤ They were SO CUTE!!!!!!!!
The "L-L-L" definition of fossil is such a brilliant example of accessible language. Geology has a long standing issue of translating geological knowledge into easy to understand terms, and that triple L way of understanding fossils is a brilliant example of that. The US has a notable quality in geoscientifical promotion and it truly shows there!
I agree!
Another really interesting video! It's so rare to find a single channel that covers such a variety of topics, as someone who likes both the natural sciences and anthropology, this channel is always great.
Thanks! Please share it with someone who might like dinosaurs
Just a heads up, anthropology is the study of human behavior, study of fossils are paleontologists
@@rayres1074 I know what anthropology is, I included paleontology in the natural sciences category.
@@zackleonard8559 Fair enough. A very common mistake so I figured I'd err on the site of caution here. Cheers
Thank you for letting this man explain his passion.
I came here for the Latin, stayed for the Dinosaurs & Geology 🤓
I’m delighted
I love this museum! I've been there a lot and each time I love Colorado more. Beautiful location and surroundings. I also love the art by Fabio Pastori. Thanks for the video!
I’m glad you like it! Yes Fabio Pastori is a great artist
Luke, thanks so much for an amazing video. So interesting. Cheers
Branching out... I'm loving it!
When I was in grade school I remember the teacher devoting a whole series of classes to dinosaurs. I got to where I could name almost all of them. And I still remember quite a few. 🦖🦕🦖🦕
they should make a hologram of Luke that explains exhibits at museums
I absolutely love that Utahraptor mount! Looks so much more lifelike and not just like a statue.
Agreed!
My two favorite things in one video, the Classics and Dinosaurs. "Video" indeed.
A note, the reason that Crichton used the name Velociraptor for Deinonychus (which are the actual creatures in all the Jurassic films) is because he liked the name. Kinda doubt Utahraptor woulda been called Utahraptor if it was in them anyways, probably still Velociraptor. Are pretty cool though! Love the stuff as always!
Thanks. I addressed all this in my Velociraptor video. czcams.com/video/IQg9iCax7R8/video.html
It was mainly due to the naming conventions being different through the 1980s; deinonychus was placed under velociraptor in the cladistic terminology which was later changed by the mid ‘90s.
Awesome
Great. 👍🏻
Great content! I've never watched a video about a museum but I found myself curious since I've visited all the museums in my city and there's nowhere to look at this stuff anymore.
Thanks for watching! I’m glad you liked it
I quite enjoy the Nanotyrannus they have there.
That’s stegosaurus baby was crazy just a miniature version
So tiny!
Thanks for all of the informative content. I have a question regarding the Ranieri-Dowling method. Do you think it could be adapted and applied to a modern language like German? Would you recommend it? I would like to start learning German, Greek, and Latin(in that sequence) in the coming years, and I am very intrigued by your language-learning approach.
I don't speak Greek and I'm far from fluent in Latin, but I learned German as my third language (before Latin), and I'd do it in that order.
@@francisdec1615 Yeah, thanks for sharing. I've been learning Sanskrit for the past few years and I want to develop fluency in it before I take on another ancient language. That's why I figured starting with German would be best. What ressouces did you use for Latin and German? Any recommendations?
@@flowersarelovesome I learned German from upper elementary up to and including university. I learn Latin with the Örberg method.
Have you ever considered doing a video on idiomatic language of ancient cultures? I figured if anyone, you’d probably know best and it’d be interesting to hear your takes on stuff. I remember hearing one from Rome being something along the lines of “Venit ad triarii” but that is probably wrong lol
I have a whole channel dedicated to that

Honestly I’m just wondering if we’ll get to see more of you using what I think was an airscribe in another video
You might!
Luke, given the nature of your channel, I think a fascinating video topic would be the English of your home state Pennsylvania. Case in point you and several other natives of the place do not regularly glottalise or flap your medial Ts in words like Latin, butter and cotton and I have become convinced it might be a feature of Pennsylvania English. It would be interesting to find out more about the English of your region.
While I’m flattered, quite a number of my more remarkable speech habits are trained, which comes from practicing 16th century Shakespearean pronunciation. Most people in Pennsylvania sound just like they do in American TV or movies, using General American pronunciation
@@polyMATHY_Luke Tamen tua pronunciatio praeclara est!
I'd imagine there's a lot of Pennsylvania German influence
@@EnigmaticLucas I think that is unlikely because those were small communities with limited influence on and exposure to the broader population.
Luke, how much of the full construct is fossil compared to composite?
Do you mean the casts they make of bones to put on display (keeping the real fossils in draws)?
@@polyMATHY_Luke Yes, I see.
Yeah, and often there are enough pieces of several skeletons to make a complete one or nearly so, so some skeletons on display are mixes of different casts
I would define my grandparents as fossils
I love speaking with a Delaware valley accent
I started learning latin 1 week ago, anyone can help me?
I know this is out of context but I need help!
Is this a correct translation? I'm not that good at Latin.
Out of Joy, I create
Ex gaudio, creo sum
Fossil is something like digable, am i right?
Indeed. See the video for the definition
This is all leading to Jackson Crawford flying a helicopter isn’t it?
You are sage
I ask, "what is a fossil?" Then, I look in the mirror and I have my answer.
Apparently to young people these days it's anyone over 30
Haha
Bonum movie
One day we will revive the t rex and get past ethical, logistical, and scientific barriers. Maybe after a thousand years or so?
I prefer to think of a Fossil in its proper etymological sense, as something dug up out of a ditch.
you must be a scientist!
