  • 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.

    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!

    @Lowlandlord Před 2 lety +1

    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!

    • @polyMATHY_Luke
      @polyMATHY_Luke  Před 2 lety

      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.

    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.

    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.
