Man spinosaur fossils have bad luck not being destroyed in museums
-
If I had a nickel for every time spinosaur fossils stored in a museum were destroyed, I’d have two nickels. Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice, right?
-
It is kind of ironic, that even their finding history is simmilar. Both got their only fossils destroyed shortly after discovering, due to destruction of the museum they were held in.
-
bro, they found two bones and were like: Yup it was a master fisherman, had a bite force 20x that of a wolf, went to college in 1982, and had a crush on his gym teacher.
-
Tragically analogous that Spinosaurus for the longest time was also known from very little fossil evidence. The holotype was destroyed by allied bombing during WW2. Wasn't until Paul Sereno much, much later that we got a better idea of what Spinosaurus was like. So if someone rich is watching or reading this, fund an expedition to the Alcantara formation!
-
The burning of a museum of that size is just so unimaginably tragic for us nerds... we want answers damnit!
-
I wonder if 3d scanning and ct scanning to solid models of rare fossils should be mandatory to prevent the complete loss of precious specimens to history.
-
Spinosaurid fossils try not to be destroyed challenge difficulty:IMPOSSIBLE Edit:THE AMOUNT OF LIKES
-
Spinosaurus: Hey twin!! Oxalaia: Yoo! 🤝🙏🤞
-
I cried so hard of anger when the museum burned down. Unfortunately, Brazil and historical preservation and memory don't match well. Some improvements have been made, but very slowly
-
As a Brazilian,i can confirm the existence of these guys. I've seen them mostly in small,deep rivers. They get beautiful in the mating season. They seem to be scared of fire, don't know why tho.
-
Spinosaurids in my opinion were a mix between a crocodilian and a grizzly bear. Fisher or not, that's a terrifying combo!
-
Spinosaur fossils trying to not get destroyed challange : impossible
-
If the Jurassic franchise ever wanted to have a paleo-accurate spinosaurid they could introduce the oxalaia
-
great stuff, love the art you showcased
-
Ooh boy, another Extinct Zoo banger.
-
Thank you for mentioning this guy, I've seen it soo many times in paleo books but always wanted to see it in a documentary someday.
-
How do they know Oxalaia was pretty much a Spinosaurus twin? The only fossils that have been found of Oxalaia are part of an upper jaw and some smaller parts of the snout.
-
It's widely known here in Brazil not only they existed, but they never really went extinct. They evolved and adapted. Nowadays they are way smaller and are called "chupacabras", a common pet to us Brazilians.
-
What an odd coincidence that I’ve just published a stopmotion video on oxalaia today as well😅
