I like that even though you almost definitely knew what "ossified" and other terms that he used meant, you knew that many of us might not know what they meant and stopped to ask him to explain them. When you are an expert in your field it can be really easy to get excited and forget that jargon words may not be common terms for the layman.
I love the enthusiasm that both of you have for your jobs and am extremely grateful for the knowledge and the outreach that you bring us. Keep up the fantastic work!
I always wait for the "it still has brains on it"...
No Brain Scoop vid would be complete without it.
lizbliz I feel like the time from the credits ending until the "it still has brains on it" keeps getting longer every video.
One day they'll put something else at the end and we'll all freak out
just imagine that there would still be brains on the dinosaur that would freak people out too i think.
Corvinus Maximus That's what I thought when I saw this episode.
WHAT still has brains on it???? :)
Entrance fee is $15 to the museum? Seriously? A lot of people pay about that to watch a 2 hour movie that only entertains them. You could spend all day in the museum expanding your mind instead. That's awesome!!!
Also, there's 100% more dinosaur bones inside the museum than at the movie theater. So that's a clear advantage.
A great new year's present from Emily and the Field Museum.
2:42 "What does that mean?"
Thank you for asking questions like these for us.
Just when I thought the Brain Scoop couldn't get better, you bring in dinosaurs. I love this channel so much.
This is so awesome! Its so cool that emily got to work on a musem that actually does groundbreaking research.
Not only does she get to see awesome stuff like dinos. She is currently in Kenya studying bats.
Wow I didn't know that. That's fantastic!
thanks for the new year gift, lee newton likely has her face plastered to the screen watching this.
The Animal Planet needs a new show. The Brain Scope! Seriously, this show needs to be out there.
I was forming a scientific inquiry and then Soon Raccoon peeped at the camera halfway through the video and completely destroyed my train of thought. Thanks a ton Soon Raccoon.
Great job Brain Scoop! now for the rest of the dinos at the field museum. Maybe like an extended mini series.... Just go ahead and change the name of the show to Dino Scoop.
I still can not get away from the post of - "Emily, love your work and enthusiasm. Do you need anything from us to help your continued learning from science and the enthusiasm you have in all of your videos?"
This was awesome, I never knew so much work went into preparing and discovering dinosaurs, nor that there were so many new species discovered each year. Awesome, thanks Emily.
I love how Soon Raccoon now has a cameo in every video.
That question about caterpillars --> butterflies is one I've been curious about, so I'm glad Emily explained it. Amazing!
I love the idea that dinosaurs may have had feathers. The illustration is fantastic. I want that on my wall!
lasschesteven O.O :D Wow!
I grew up on a steady diet of dinosaur documentaries but I had no idea that there were still so many new dinosaurs being discovered! Another fascinating episode!
Dinosaurs on the first day of the year?!!? This is going to be an awesome year!
Yes it is. She just flew to Kenya for a "From the Field" video on bat research.
Raymond Smith Bats? Hell yeah!
Raymond Smith Kenya! wow!
I followed sci show and recently only just 'discovered' brain scoop myself. I've already freaked through so many of these videos and because of you I'm planning a visit to Chicago one day! I don't live in the U.S but hopefully I will be able to go.. Thanks Emily! :)
How interesting! I love the detail that I wouldn't get many other places. I feel that it's 'hands on' history. Love it! Great editing, too.
OOh saw the raccoon! Hope he learned as much as we did.
Paleontology FTW!! Thank you for this awesome look at a new discovery.
I've been thinking about possibly going into paleontology, but after hearing the "100 hours of lab work to 1 hour of field work" and "looking for days at a time" I think... No, wait, actually, it would still be better than a desk job. :)
Incredible find! Thanks so much for another great video!
You now have to show us how they will display it ! Both how it's done and how it looks. Happy new year ! Long and happy life to the brainscoop,
NEW DINOSAURS?? Happy ACTUAL New Years, guys!!
Do you ever stop and think things like, "I'm holding a dinosaur's toe" and wonder how this is real life?
Emily your job seams like so much fun. Great Vid.
Happy new year to the Brain Scoop team!
Now we know this is going to be a great year, I mean DINOSAURS! You have to admit that dinosaurs are so exciting and it's unbelievable how much we can still learn about them. Loved the video!
When he said that we are in a "renaissance of dinosaur paleontology", I immediately got excited for Ross Geller.
When he said business end my first thought was "How would a cloaca stay preserved that long?"
Aww man that is AWESOME!
my friend (who's still an undergrad) managed to get a position with this guy and MET EMILY and i just...so jealous.
OMG NEW BRAIN SCOOP YAY!!!
I'm always fascinated by how people can tell so much from a bunch of what looks like, to me, vaguely rock shaped... thingies.
Science, man.
The 8-year-old Me who was obsessed with dinosaurs is FASCINATED by this... Science is awesome.
Dinosaurs and paleontology were my first explorations into science! More, please!
Anyone else notice Soon Raccoon on the counter behind Emily and Peter?
I've always wondered how an illustration is developed after finding such fragmented information. What dictates its color, the texture on its skin, the exterior scaling, etc. Remarkable findings, friends!
I'm not sure on all the details, but I do know that one thing that some professionals look at for the coloration is looking at some of the coloration of modern birds living in climates similar to the believed climate of the time and location of the dinosaur in question and coloring the depiction with that information in mind. We've found a couple incidents of stone that had fossilized around the scales of a carcass forming a impression fossil. That's given us some good insight to how many dinosaurs' scales appeared.
We can look at relatives! This is a close relative of Allosaurus, and Allosaurus is known from many good skulls and skeletons so we can assume through evolutionary logic that the skeleton looked like a larger, later model of Allosaurus. From that, we have to see more fossils of related forms. Some dinosaurs are so well preserved that even patches of skin are petrified, like in the dinosaur Carnotaurus. And many dinosaurs from China are so intact that we can see fossilized feathers around the skeleton. With an understanding of evolution and modern animal physiology, and color, the paleoartist can then make reasonable assumptions pertaining to the outside of the dinosaur including color. Of course, if someone found a more complete Siats and the interpretation was proven incorrect, then through the magic of the digital medium the artist can morph the artpiece to fit the new look. (I REALLY LIKE DINOSAURS) #science
Wow. Great stuff! Thank you very much.
Another excellent video!
Despite the fall in viewership I think you all are doing a fabulous job!
I love seeing videos like this!!
I love thinking about what Niel Shubin has taught me and applying it to videos on youtube and seeing such interesting things!
I want to go to the field museum and also meet you Emily!! Huge fan here haha
Great video, I love this channel, keep it up.
A new species! That's so awesome!
this is so cool! I want to visit the field museum sometime.
On to a new year of awesomeness!
A New Year and a new dinosaur, Brilliant!
Next time I'm in Chicago I'm stopping by!
so good, I wanna rub this episode on my tummy
can not wait to make it to the field hope i can visit soon
Just heard you on Radiolab. Still awe-inspiring as ever. Stay awesome!
So I heard you on radio lab. Glad to see your getting exposure
This is one of the coolest videos on The Brain Scoop :-) There should totally be more dinosaur (and gem room) videos :-)
I heard you on Radiolab the other day! That's so cool!
really loved this one! Give us more fossil stuff!
Awesome show! Love the polka dots. :D
Can't tell the difference between those rocks. Props to the experts
Wow, I had no idea how often new dinosaurs were found. Crazy.
This is 1 of those shows that will always have brains on it
Man I wish I could go to the Field Museum again... I used to go all the time as a kid but I'm so far away now
New year, new dinosaur. Fantastic.
Great scoop! I love the dinosaur collection at the Field Museum. The camera guy gives me a little headache with all the choppy zooming back and forth though! Thanks!
I would so love to go to that museum, :D
EMILY THIS IS KOOL I'M 48 AND LOVE WHAT YOUR DOING KEEP IT UP
Yay more dinosaur stuff please.
am i the only one who waits for the "it still has brains on it" part every time I watch a brainscoop video?
Whooho! Dinosaurs! I love prehistoric life! Could you maybe put out more stuff on prehistoric life?
You could probably have got more views if you'd titled this NEW DINOSAUR DISCOVERY!!!!! or something, but you didn't and I kind of like that. Love the channel and the community around it, thank you.
Emily as always the top Science CZcams on the internet. I've questions and suggestions though which you may want to clarify with screen annotations.
1. You should put in a note to say Sue is the Tyrannosaur in the main hall, not everybody has been there or read about her. I always wondered what happened to the Albertosaurus/Gorgosaurus (I can't remember now which one it was, I always thought they should have been the same genus)
2. I missed or didn't hear the age perhaps Early Cretaceous?
3. You mentioned megaraptor so is it Dromaeosaurinae and since it was from Utah, is it similar to Utahraptor which I would think the word megaraptor would apply?
That is really cool >.< !
Siats meekerorum is no name for a Dinosaur. You need to give it an awesome name like the Fluffy Megaraptor or Badassaurus Rex.
What about allosaurus+ yknow because it looks like an allo,fck
OMG I said it right without even knowing what it was!!!
From a few teeth, and its close relatives, I was able to reconstruct the skull of Siats!
I fucking love dinosaurs!!!!!!!!!!!!
I haven't yet a decent enough boat, or enough savings, to get to the field museum...
China: The world's leading producer of...dinosaurs.
Geez, everything really is made in China huh!
I'd like to add a question to the growing list in the comments. Why are the bones so dark coloured? Also are all fossils the same colour and is colouration what paleontologists look for when observing the outcroppings? Loved this video!
Time after time, Emily keeps asking people the questions that pop in my head. It's kinda freaky.
I LIKE YOUR OUTFIT EM!!!!!
hey I heard you on the recent radiolab podcast and I thought it was awesome!
Thanks for reminding me to check RadioLab haha
I need to check that out.
Fossilized stuff is much easier to stomach :p In any case, keep up the good work :p
Emily, you're my favorite! "$15, new to science!"
How can you tell if its not a juvenile or an adult of another species as opposed to a new species? Thanx love the channel!!
Emily should do a video with James May. I feel like they have a very similar fashion sense, and I think they'd get along great!
Man I wish I could visit this place.
I guess other specimens might be found soon in the future
Loved this, more paleontology please :D
It's so cute how shy scientists are about confirming that all modern birds are still in the same scientific family as dinosaurs, and are, completely, by all means, still dinosaurs. Not just "descendants of dinosaurs" "came from dinosaurs" or "used to be dinosaurs"; they ARE dinosaurs and dinosaurs are most definitely /not/ extinct. Ancient ancestral dinosaurs are extinct, but so are ancient ancestral humans. That doesn't mean humans are extinct. Some of them from ancient times are not around. It's the same way with birds. A t-rex is just a really long-time-ago bird. It's SO CUTE though because this is very NEW information to become standard fact and these scientists just seem so meek about admitting it and I smile a little when I hear new scientific specials try to reel back on the whole "dinosaurs are extinct" and explain that they are not. Our understanding of the world is always changing. And it makes me smile knowing how quick we are to jump to conclusions. We're really a quite silly species.
And wow those are some large bones!
@freshoutofcrabs - Indeed, even those of us that do understand appreciate a decent re-stating.
sometimes i forget that dinosaurs were real things
I spotted the raccoon half way though and it kinda made me jump! You sneezy little guy!
Cool. It's a new thing. I like new things. Yay science!
Love the Sue references.
3:40 SOON
if i was walking around i would have never known that was a bone.... i would have thought it was just funny looking rocks :P
"Have you been inside the museum?/ We should go/ Meet the dinosaurs"
How deep are most fossils that we have found? Like surface level?
Where ever we notice them. Usually that's surface level, but Mosasaurus, for example, was discovered in a mine. Quarries are also a good place to look.
Mecha Dibernardi lasschesteven Thank you :)
And to deepen what Mecha explained, this also why it generally is easier finding fossils in geologically active areas with earthquakes and mountains, as the layers there are more jumbled, whereas, in really flat regions you hardly ever find any because they are so far below ground, that you don't know where to look.
Could we see some of the dinosaur bone preparation? Please?
This video got me thinking... Did T-Rex just stand up all the time? What would happen if it fell down? It's upper extremities are mostly useless. Did it just sort of squat, like a bird? Birds can right themselves if they fall over though. I can't get the idea of T-Rex flailing around trying to fix herself after falling down out of my head. It seems like there had to be some solution from a natural selection perspective. Either fix yourself when you fall, or be able to somehow never fall.
T. rex and other tyrannosaurs probably had a resting stance similar to that of a bird, kind of easing into a squatting/sitting position but maintaining their horizontal posture. It's not that hard to imagine really, looking at their skeletal structure.
If it fell, the only way I can see it righting itself is manipulation of mass. Yes that means flailing around until it rights its stance.
Taking into account of a tyrannosaur's size indicates that a fall from sprinting speed would have sufficient force to kill the animal. However, as stated in the video, the counter-balance of the tail would have aided greatly in balance and events such as a lethal tumble would be relatively uncommon.
How do they know when they've found a new species and not just a mutated version of a previously known species? Since we only have one Siats meekerorum, how do we know it's not just a mutated or deformed version of another dinosaur?
