TREY the Explainer

It’s been a year and I’ve got to recap what happened in paleontology 2016! In this video I discuss everything from ancient sharks to lizards trapped in amber to three eyed reptiles.

A new video, finally! In this video I examine and evaluate the alleged evidence of pterosaurs and man coexisting in Black Dragon Canyon. In the canyon a petroglyph is said to depict one of these extinct flying reptiles. This piece of purposed evidence is somewhat personal to me as it was really convincing to me when I was a creationist. I hope you enjoy!

Happy Darwin Day, everyone! This is a handy little video listing almost every single transitional fossil ever discovered as of February 2017. If anyone asks for proof of evolution in the fossil record or asks where all the transitional forms are, just send them to this video ;) Evolution is a scientific fact about biology and we have an absurd amount of evidence to prove it. The fossil record and paleontology is just one of them! Hope you enjoy and learn something new!

A new short paleo profile talking about the mysterious and bizarre hoofed predator, Andrewsarchus. We learn about what its relatives were and what exactly it was. Hope you enjoy!

Sorry for the very long wait! I’m back babe and we are tackling a topic I’ve dealt with a lot of this channel: the evolutionary and cryptozoological relationships of living fossils with biology. Organisms like crocodilians and coelacanths are often called living fossils and everyone from creationists to cryptozoologists use them constantly to prove either dinosaur and man co-existence or to disprove evolution. Today, I plan on dispelling a lot of the confusion associated with this topic by looking at the actual scientific evidence. Hope you enjoy!

Hey guys! This time we highlight the various fascinating animal products of evolution granted by islands across the world and throughout time. Islands due to their isolation create an interesting phenomenon pertaining to biological evolution resulting in great uniqueness. You will find that Skull Island isn’t as fictional as it seems with many real islands of both giants and dwarves! Sorry for the long wait for this one.

Today we finally finish up Loch Ness by speculating what the monster could be if I am completely wrong about it's apparent non-existence. I talk largely about plesiosaurs and leeches... so I hope you enjoy ;) All copyrighted footage and images in this video are protected under FAIR USE for reasons of Commentary, Education, Criticism, Parody, and Social Satire.

I discuss the impact of the recent discovery regarding T.rex skin coverings and if it truly "disproves feathered T.rex" like many media outlets claim.

Hello! This time we tackle the dubious ancient artifacts known as the Ica Stones. These Peruvian stones allegedly prove recent dinosaur and human co-existence and is loved by Ancient Astronauts and Creationists. I try to find out if these stones are legit or not.

Today, I talk about a movie that takes place 12,000 years ago and point out what the film makers did right or wrong in accordance to the scientific evidence. I cover topics ranging from the appearance of early Homo sapiens, Mammoths, and Neanderthals. Hope you enjoy! Next time I will talk about Terror birds, Horses, and Metallurgy.

Part 2 of this series where I deconstruct the 10,000 BC movie for scientific and historical accuracies and inaccuracies. We talk about Smilodon, Terror Birds, and agriculture in the video. Hope you enjoy! Background Music: Various Songs by Kevin Macleod Sci Fi by Mark Canales Music

Because I'm a massive fan of Game of Thrones, today we discuss some speculative evolution and speculative biology by taking an in-depth look at if humanoid Giants could exist. In this video will talk about the bio-mechanics, adaptions, and evolution of giant organisms and in doing so try to get the most scientifically accurate image of giants I can. Hope you enjoy!

In this video I discuss the limitations of paleontology and science and speculate what could be missing or lost to history and time. I ask a very strange question: Could there have been civilizations or cultures made by other non-human organisms? ...sorry if it seemed like I went off the deep end with this one. XD I don't believe there were past civilizations or intelligences, it's just something I would love to be wrong about and find evidence of. All I am doing in this video is asking the question.

Hey guys! I pretty much jump all over the place in this video. I discuss a whole bunch of things and try to answer some long asked questions, everything from the historical accuracy of Atlantis and the Exodus to how the Great Pyramids were built. Please tell me what you thought! Sorry to some of my biology fans! This one goes primarily into history, something i haven't really done before.

I've made a few mistakes in my videos over the years and I'd just like to correct a few of my inaccuracies and explain myself. From Dimetrodon-Half Sails to Quill Knobs I'll try to fix anything I've misreported. Thanks for watching! Paleo Profile coming soon! Transition Music: Smile at Me Baby from the Call of Cthulhu Soundtrack XD I spelled "transition" wrong in the video

I'm finally back after such a long break. I've been really busy and I try to make these vids when I can. In this video I discuss a few almost-mythical prehistoric fish that actually existed in Earth's past. I discuss a few famous ones like Megalodon and Heliocoprion to a few obscure ones like the giant fish of the Kem Kem which where the food of Spinosaurus. Hope you enjoy!

In this video I discuss the infamous Paluxy River Dinosaur Tracks. These trace fossils are said to be evidence of humans and dinosaurs co-existing side-by-side and could rewrite all of science (or so they say). Are the footprints that convincing? Well, you'll just have to see for yourself. I hope you enjoy and happy holidays!
