What a cute interview. Those scientist guests were so polite, so happy and so passionate. I just love everything this channel puts out. The positive energy and love for nature and sciences is precious. The naturally cute comments from deep sea excitment to these men, "we love sharks" is adorable. Thanks for always cheering me up and taking me places i will never get to see or visit

Geology/Archeology are absolutely fascinating. To think that buried under your feet could be proof of all kinds of wonders, civilizations, unknown facts, is exciting to me. It keeps me looking around whenever I am out in the woods or any open space.

@@gafrers "This is neither, it's Paleontology." - the work of expedition included geology, and this specimen was collected towards that end. And "archeology" by definition is just the study of old things. Perhaps being less _gotcha_ and more helpful to others is a better path for you.

@@TheDanEdwards Nice comment from someone that needs to clarify that he is "The Original". Anything that is old doesn't mean fossils. Archaeology is Human related, prehistory and history. Nothing else. You do not ask an Archaeologist the details of a dinosaur, nor to a Geologist.

I love how the two interviewees pronounce the shark's name as "meh-GAL-oh-don" instead of "MEG-ah-lo-don". Is that a regional difference in pronunciation?
@WireMosasaur
8 ай бұрын
I think most 4-syllable scientific names have a middle inflection, typically, it's just that an english speaker reads the "mega" part and pronounces it more like a distinct word ^__^ Compare: Triceratops, Diplodocus, Solenodon. I guess german speakers are simply less likely to do that!

I think they may have included the clip of it being collected in the beginning, really I'm not sure if it was super exciting since at the time they were just taking another scoop of nodules at the bottom, but i believe the paper may have the details as far as the dive and collection number and from there you could probably cross reference it with the dive recording archives and find when the collect it if you are so inclined.

What's funny about this is that you set out to go do ocean biology and then picked up and cleaned up a fossil, which is paleontology. Imagine if it was this easy to accidentally do a different science while doing your science job in other places. I wish i could accidentally do paleontology while I'm doing bird observations! And if nothing else, it's probably the first paleontology done by a robot.

Megalodons being estimated as being as large as up to 18 m, with the sample itself indicating a shark of 7 m is interesting. Why the decrease in size? Selection in favour of a smaller shark would make sense in terms of requiring less food.

You can consume vulgarized and curated scientific work for hours. It's an important distinction, because let's not underestimate the tremendous amount of work that is done to make all that research accessible and understandable for the public. Most of the science never goes through that process. And it's actually a big problem. It's hard to find founds for it because scientists think it's not as important as the science itself, and politicians are part of the public so they don't understand the issue. In fact, scientists themselves often have two bias: that their field of research is too complex and intellectual for the public to get an understanding of it, and that other fields of research are not worth the investment in education. In some countries it's not rare for entire departments of research to close because they failed to make other scientists understand that they were also important.

On these seamount summits and upper slopes, there is little to no sediment deposition because of the currents. This is analogous to wind swept, terrestrial mountain tops. Elsewhere on seamount slopes and tops, barnacle shell plates can occur carpeting the surface for hundreds of metres. Some of these have been dated to beyond radio carbon range i.e. greater than c56,000 years old. In other words, larger objects, like the tooth in this example, can lie exposed on the surface for a very long time.
@connorjohnson4402

Well this can definitely happen and is kind of a interesting quirk of the conditions of seamounts a key aspect to this at least when it relates to biological remains, is that they need to some how also resist being dissolved or consumed for at least the length of time that it might take to become coated in a Ferromanganese crust. This is why outside of sharks teeth like this the only real thing that seems to stay around for long periods of time is the beaked whale skulls like they have found and collected on expeditions this year and the last. Those beaked whale skulls are very dense and resist being dissolved, but i really cant wait until they release some information on those beaked whale skulls that they have been collecting recently because there is really no prior research on them.

This is so cool i appreciate the follow up and it makes me even more excited to hear about any of the science being done on the collections of the beaked whale skulls that they have collected on the more recent expeditions, because there hasn't really been any studies done looking at them. I think its a fairly unique phenomena at least in regards to most ecosystems that you can find and insitu remains of something in basically the same setting where it was originally deposited

I hate to spoil your excitment but fossil Miocene Megalodon teeth are a common find in North and South Carolina, Florida, and other states, and the serrations are usually always still present and well formed. Even on those washed up the beach from off shore deposits. I personally have two that are 5 and 6 inches long , unbroken and perfect . Seems to me you are making a mountain out of a molehill.

Could it be because of the depth they found them at? Might make them easier to date? Fossilised in rock might indicate they're older vs washing up on the shore? (not being sarcastic just asking)
