The Deeper You Go Into Dinosaur Theories, The More Unhinged It Gets | Tier 2

The Deeper You Go Into Dinosaur Theories, The More Unhinged It Gets | Tier 2 There's a real, published paper arguing that dinosaurs went extinct because they ran out of deep water to mate in. That's where Tier 2 of the dinosaur theories iceberg ends up, and it takes a lot of strange turns to get there. On this level the ideas stop being simple misunderstandings and start getting weird. We cover the Tully Monster, a fossil that scientists keep claiming to solve before another team proves them wrong. There's the "Atlantis spark plug" and the London Hammer, the theory that caterpillars killed the dinosaurs, the Nemesis Star, the Younger Dryas comet, and the Triceratops vs. Torosaurus debate. Further down we get into Nanotyrannus and the Dueling Dinosaurs, the scientists who spent thirty years insisting birds aren't dinosaurs, and a giant Triassic kraken that supposedly made a self-portrait out of ichthyosaur bones. After that it's the Shiva hypothesis, Bruhathkayosaurus, the old belief that Venus was a swamp full of dinosaurs, ancient "nuclear" desert glass, and the Silurian hypothesis. We finish with 48,500-year-old viruses that a lab brought back to life from the Siberian permafrost. Some of these are fringe, a few are outright hoaxes, and some turned out to be true. To me the true ones are the craziest part. If you haven't seen Tier 1 yet, start there. Let me know in the comments which theory on this tier you'd actually believe.
