    Read excerpt

    What can dinosaur footprints tell us that bones can't? n this episode of Terrible Lizards, Iszi Lawrence and Dr Dave Hone talk to palaeontologist Brent Breithaupt about the science of trace fossils: the footprints, trackways, nests, bite marks and other evidence left behind by animals millions of years ago. You can watch the episode on youtube here: https://youtu.be/puS0gkuTCHY Brent has spent decades studying dinosaur and pterosaur footprints, particularly in Wyoming, and was at the forefront o

    Episode notes

    Read excerpt

    How did pterosaurs actually nest? Did they build colonies like seabirds, bury their soft-shelled eggs like crocodiles and turtles, or something stranger? In this archive extract, Iszi Lawrence and Dr Dave Hone discuss pterosaur nesting behaviour, what we know about predators that might have eaten pterosaurs and their eggs, and why the fossil evidence is frustratingly limited. They also tackle what might have survived the Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction, why some small feathered dinosaurs might h

    S12DB17 Why Palaeontologists Hate 'Biggest Dinosaur' Headlines (opens the original)

    Episode notes

    Read excerpt

    In this bite from an old live stream, Iszi Lawrence and Dr Dave Hone discuss why claims of the "largest dinosaur ever" are much harder to prove than the headlines suggest. They explore how palaeontologists estimate the size of enormous titanosaurs, why complete skeletons are so rare, and why finding an even bigger individual is always a possibility. Along the way they also discuss whether dinosaurs ever stopped growing, why weight matters more than length when comparing giant animals, and why ev
