Hi Diuqin lechiguanae! Paleontology and archaeology are so cool to me. Something about being able to go dig in the ground and find material evidence for an unknown past. And a past with so much room in it, so impossibly much more than I can really fathom.
Don't you just love it when we learn something new about the past? Especially when the new discovery fills in some holes in our knowledge, like this new friend.
It's interesting that other animals were able to get at this dead individual to eat it and yet it still managed to go through the complicated process of being covered in order to be turned into a fossil. Do we know what that looked like from the data? Fascinating stuff to think about.
Wait, so the feathers showed up in the fossil? Does that mean the answe to "did dinos have featers?" Is no, because if t-rex had feathers it would have preserved? I saw an internet picture. Also how dope would it be to find pigments.....or like could dino eyes see the same spectrum of colours like birds? Were dinos iridescent?

The figure used for size reference made me chuckle.

You are absolutely one of the best and most enthusiastic science content creators on CZcams!
Fascinating as always. Thank you.
Engagement algorithm comment. Keep the videos coming, Astrid. 🙂
Really cool fossil!! Thanks for sharing 😊
I dub thee, Giant Killer Duck 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚

I guess they didn't want to eat the bones
Very cool!

I think you may have started a New fashion style -academic punk or maybe 🤔 plaid punk?
I think that's just her sapphic swag
