You know what I like about Sir David Attenborough the most? The way he narrates isn't just narration, he truly adores what hes explaining to us.

[rabbitholegirl]

What i find absolutely amazing is that sir David is still doing documentaries.

[jonconvisuals]

It was an honour to have worked on this. The entire crew knew this was a historic find as it was unfolding. A true privilege to witness Robert’s passion!

[MrMome]

I can only imagine the joy and excitement a paleontologist must be feeling finding something like this!

[wildborr]

The day we lose Sir Attenborough will be one of the saddest days in memory for me. I'll never get enough of this man. Never.

David was like a odd father to me growing up. I couldn't get enough of all the wild documentary shows on TV. He taught me about the world I'd never see in person. Helped me get away and live for awhile in other countries, in my mind. I wanted to document every horse breed in the world one day. But life for a ordinary child, that never came about. I did however spend half my life working with animals from pet stores, kennels, veterinarian hospitals (forever) to a local zoo in the medical wing. And I did get to dabble in the horse world, with my own beautiful steed. I'm 50 now. And I wish to ever thank him for my broad knowledge of the animal kingdom and love for nature.

This is the Tanis site, one of the most important paleontology sites ever found. It was discovered a few years ago and one amazing fossil after another has come out of it. The dating to the day of the impact is based on the presence of tektites (tiny glass spheres) formed by the impact being found clogging the gills of fish at the site. Ground waves from the impact triggered a seiche which sent an immense wave far up a river valley, carrying all before it. The battered remains of marine, fresh water and land plants and animals were buried in mud as the wave receded, and the fine sediment preserved amazing detail.

Honestly so trippy seeing with your own eyes the scales of a dinosaur mind blowing

[ЯрославИванов-мц]

David Attenborough is a living legend, i wish him more long life and health

[gonzosage]

Fun fact: David Attenborough's brother was Richard Attenborough, the actor for John Hammond from Jurassic Park.

[padholder]

This is exactly how I imagined being an archeologist back when I was a kid lol

[MrTwotimess]

Sir David's presence in a documentary almost immediately adds a dash of class and authenticity to the doccie.

Having done a dinosaur dig before and being absolutely chuffed after finding some teeth, plants and shells, I can guarantee that this palaeontologist would be riding this high his entire life. Super exciting stuff!

[charlieweir]

This was unbelievable, never thought we’d see a dinosaur so perfectly preserved

[achtundvierzigsieben]

Knife guy is the first archaeologist I see who is actually dressed like Indiana Jones =)

[davidboyle]

As astounding as this discovery is, I’m wondering how extensive the fossil deposit is and whether there are other similarly marvelous discoveries to come. I do hope the BBC guys, and others, are actively documenting this unique dig.

[SouthernArtist]

David Attenborough is a treasure of Great Britain, what a voice. I wish he could read to me everyday.

[mikejohnson]

thank goodness for david attenborough may he live forever

[douglasrose]
