>>5120805 >docu-series about mass extinctions >relegates half of the mass extinctions to just the first two episodes what the hell are they thinking? when will paleozoic chads get one fucking doc that gives us the respect we deserve?
you missed the glowing orthocones and the dicynodon egg scenes. i also saw a teaser image with sacabampaspis online >>5120968 >>5120962 >>5120965 there's something about these gorgonopsids that i don't like. maybe it's the skin? the colour? or that they look a bit too muscles/mammalian
>yet another paleo-docu focused on extinctions >yet another paleo-docu focused on depicting prehistory as overwhelmingly dangerous >after The Dinosaurs showed plateosaurus and stegosaurus getting wildfire'd and thorn-forested to extinction no thanks, well and truly exhausted of that subject
For anyone wondering, the episodes are all stand-alone and aren't in chronological order. So far the episodes will focus on the following: >First episode will be the Great Dying >Second is the Carnian Pluvial event >Third is the K-PG extinction >Fourth will be the Cenomanian-Turonian boundary event >Fifth will be about the Carboniferous >Sixth will be the end of the Late Ordovician >Seventh hasn't been elaborated but title suggests the formation of Pangaea >Last two will most likely be the Pliocene/Pleistocene/Holocene focused episodes.
>>5125117 Stand-alone is good. More like the original Walking with Dinosaurs and Prehistoric Beasts. Not being chronological is a bit confusing though.
>>5127870 Yes and most of the locations where its fossils were found would’ve been coastal environments back then. from crocodile like pressure sensors on its snout, salt glands showing that it ingested a lot of salt water, a webbed footprint from a mysterious relative showing that Spinosaurids were specializing in water foraging for a long time, the long interlocking conical teeth that are adaptations for quick side to side snapping, all of these are pretty damning evidence that Spinosaurus was far more than a mere wading fisher but a marine adapted animal. all the more reason to believe that the people who said Spinosaurus couldn’t swim or dive are full of shit because according to their criteria Marine Iguanas wouldn’t be able to either because they are too buoyant.
>>5129089 rolling for next spinosaurus discovery to be evidence that it could close its throat similar to crocodiles, dolphins, seals, and penguins. would also finally solve a current discrepancy with lipless spinosaurus being unable to seal off its oral cavity from the air, crocodiles get around this by closing their throats so maybe spinosaurus did the same thing.
