Congratulations on breaking 40k I've been wanting for it for a while 🎉🎉

Time : 10, 26 teeth:
If you are a predator that holds it's prey in it's mouth then perfectly conical teeth act as a plug preventing blud loss but with ridges the prey bleeds when held so making the death grip more efficient.
Note also holding your prey is even more important at sea because you cant "Just poot it down"

[andredeoliveirafonseca]

Nice to see our lagerpetiids showing up.

[GustavSvard]

18:55 one thing that strikes me is that the other teeth all have very vertical inner walls, whereas the Palacrodon browni is mostly horizontal. My thought is that maybe the ridges are there to provide more verticality to the surfaces for the ligaments (or such) to attach to so that the teeth have a firmer grip to the jaws? Maybe that's part of the hypothesis the researches propose in their paper?

[nyeti]

Another excellent recap. I really appreciate that you not only cover a load of cool studies but also tell us when a paper's conclusion is "um... we don't know" 😄

[KellyClowers]

Thank you for the review! great resource as always

[ChrisFixedKitty]

Another thank you for all the work summarizing a very, very full month of papers!

[highfive]

Thank you for making these awe inspiring episodes!

[cronie]

Love your videos. I find them really fun to watch and informative in my free time. Thank you for making thse

[tinyelvenmitten]

Thank you as always! i love watching these sum ups!

[michaelbondt]

Theory: the tooth grooves allow air breathers to open their mouths quickly while under pressure.

[mudgetheexpendable]

Thank you for doing so much work on your videos. This is a mammoth (! sorry) task. I myownself am very grateful to you.

[grantboardman]

Imagine having a limestone counter top with part of a Neanderthal skeleton in it...

[PolandRocksENG]

Paleontological site in Miedary was the most interesting discovery in Poland in 2023. Highly recommend our movie on this topic

[nicolegoodew]

I don't normally skip ads, but I got an hour and 43 minute ad from Apple. Idk how Apple had a movie length ad....I'm sorry I skipped an ad but thats way too long for any youtube video. And YT says there's no time limit for how long an ad can be.

Great content.

[millenniumykay]

Are you gonna be attending the NAPC this year? This'll be my first one :D

[MaoRatto]

4:32 Stop ignoring the unlaut on ä. It's an e sound in bet, fet, pet which is short indicated by the "tt". While the last syllable's -en is a schwa.

[grantboardman]

I bet you were super excited about the Palacrodon.

[HassanMohamed-rmcb]

Hey Danielle Dufault, why don’t you think of a suggestion making a YouTube Videos all about Dakosaurus, the “Biter Lizard”, an Extinct Prehistoric Metriorhyncid (the Marine Crocodile) the “Godzilla” of the Jurassic and the Cretaceous Seas on the next Raptor Chatter coming up next?!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👍👍👍👍👍

I took German like some 45 years ago in high school lager is beer stott is city I believe or state so a lot of your stuff means beer city sounds like a good time somebody must have found it during Octoberfest that's all I can say. lol
