it's terrifyingly funny to think that not only the 99.99% of all species are gone, but the vast mayority of it are creatures that even if lived today we wouldn't even know about cause they evolved in the deepeest parts of the ocean

The thought that entire species lived, hunted, and went extinct without leaving any trace gives me chills.

The scariest part is some sea monsters could have existed for millions of years and left behind almost nothing.

This documentary completely changed how I think about prehistoric oceans! The idea that bone-eating worms, ocean chemistry, and tectonic plates have erased so much ancient history is fascinating. Imagine the creatures we'll never know existed!

The mosasaur point flipped my whole picture of the ancient ocean — if they were shallow-water animals, the real deep trenches are basically a blank page. And the CCD part really got me: below that depth, bones and shells just dissolve, so the deep doesn't only hide its dead, it erases them. Is there any way to even guess how big those deep hunters could have been, or is that unknowable too?

In such a tough environment as the deep sea it makes me wonder if the ancients even looked very different from the ones we have today. Convergent evolution happens at the surface under far less pressure in many cases. With all the same constraints, evolution could have come to all the same conditions.

I have an idea for a video: What if the asteroid DID NOT hit?🌑

Is that Calvert cliffs MD picture you used when talking about the Megalodon tooth?! It looks like it. Me and my partner go there all the time to search for shark teeth!
