In this episode (stream it here!), my terrific guest Dr. Paul Barrett joins the show to chat with me about: how to select which journal to publish in, the new Late Triassic sauropodomorph Musankwa sanyatiensis, the provenance of the holotype fossils, performing fieldwork off a houseboat in Lake Kariba, naming dinosaurs after boats, comparing a houseboat as a laboratory against a trailer for a field lab, interpreting the Pebbly Arkose Formation in which Musankwa was discovered, observing sauropodomorph diversity in the Late Triassic, tectonic shifting during the Late Triassic, surviving the End-Triassic extinction event, supervising PhD students and much more!

From rare fossil embryos that provide a glimpse into the early stage of dinosaur growth and development, to the claw of a Deinonychus, the dinosaur that served as a template for Jurassic Park’s terrorizing raptors, the book illustrates the enthralling evolutionary history of animals that ruled the Earth for more than 150 million years with 75 full-color illustrations. Each stunning fossil photograph, magnified for optimal detail, includes an entry explaining the importance of the discovery and the fossil’s significance in the larger evolutionary timeline.
