15 INCREDIBLE Animal Fossils

When left in the right environment, animals can become fossilized over thousands and millions of years… Almost everything we know about the prehistoric world has been learned from the discovery of fossils, and they’ve proven to be an incredible window into the past. While something can be learned from all of them, there are undoubtedly some that are more important and fascinating than the rest… so join us for today's video as we take a look at 15 incredible animal fossils.

Really disappointed by the click bait thumb pic featuring phoney looking fossils that don't appear in the video.

Aww I wanted to know more about that massive seahorse in the thumbnail😢

[KrisPSouls]

It's crazy trying to imagine what some of those animals looked like while living.

Very good video! Enjoyed this (and another previous video) and decided to subscribe as there was none of the tripe many channels dish out that is not factual and basically hype to get views. Great job, and keep up the good work!

I love how we're learning so much more about the animals that left these fossils with technology that wasn't available many years ago.

Fossils found in coal are from an era where free oxygen was significantly higher in the atmosphere which caused animals and insects to reach megalithic proportions.

This video was very interesting! Loved it!

1 - It wasn't soft tissue from a dinosaur. It was soft tissue *_residue_* (ie: iron-rich molecules, proteins & structures that ressemble blood cells) which had only stayed intact due to the high iron/low oxygen environment.
2 - The material needed to be soaked for hours in an acid bath to extract it from the minerals that had infiltrated the bone during fossilisation.
3 - This was from a Female T-Rex from the late Cretaceous era, approx 95 million years ago. (The thigh bone needed to be broken in half to be airlifted from the site, giving access to the region where the sample was taken.)

I'm fascinated by those amazing findings. It's remarkable. None of this would have been possible without people like them. I'm very grateful for you people .

Laurie here. Great job. I'm loving this video. Your skills are improving with each short. Great angles you give us to observe the hunter. Thank you!!!

Two almost complete animals caught in such a dramatic fossilized pose is almost as incredible as finding it.

Fossils are a combination of events that are rare, think about when any creature dies, eventually the bones get scattered, it's why human fossils are so rare, we've only been around for a relatively short time, having so many dinosaur fossils, shows the sheer numbers were huge and for 100's of millions of years, it's kinda like we just got here.

My mind was blown on the dinosaur tissue still being there after 68 million years

[kirtandreamrezzer]

Amazing finds! Nice work, thank you!

The baleen whale fossil found by a “Rolling Hills High School” student is located in Palos Verdes in Los Angeles, not Orange County.

[neomimzyneomimzy]

Just imagine all the creatures we have never discovered...and never will.

To just tell you, I love learning about animals, and I did like, and describe and thank you, and your video is incredible and interesting.

To just tell you I love leaning about animals and I did a like and subscribe thank you is video is incredible and interesting.

1. In ancient (antediluvian) times, the Earth's oxygen content was higher and the atmospheric pressure was greater. Only these conditions can explain how giant dinosaurs (which strangely had nostrils the same size as horses nostrils) were able to breathe sufficient oxygen. These same conditions are today duplicated in hyperbaric chambers, which are used to create incredible (some say "miraculous") healing conditions today (see the story of "Baby Jessica").

2. There are countless sites of massive fossil boneyards around the world that all have evidence of violent alluvial (Flood) burial!
" In Alberta, Canada there is a huge graveyard that stretches for hundreds of miles and holds innumerable dinosaurs bones. In Agate Springs, Nebraska a fossil graveyard of around 9, 000 animals was found buried in alluvial deposits."
"Paleontologists have found a site with bones from approximately 10, 000 hadrosaurs"!
The only evidence to explain these massive and violent burials is that they were all FLOOD-RELATED!
