S2 E6: The Jurassic
Listen now
Description
Pack your raincoat, because this week we're heading to a very stormy Jurassic. As the only geological period with bona fide movie star status, the Jurassic is full of prehistoric celebrities, from the first birds and mammals to - of course - the dinosaurs. But what should you wear? And where should you visit? Fortunately, Dr Evelyn Kustatscher of the South Tyrol Museum of Nature (https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Evelyn-Kustatscher) and Dr Elsa Panciroli of the Oxford University Museum of Natural History (https://oumnh.ox.ac.uk/people/dr-elsa-panciroli; https://twitter.com/gsciencelady; https://elsapanciroli.wordpress.com/) are on hand to provide some much-needed travel advice. Be sure to check out their research! Follow the podcast on Twitter @prehistoryguide. Find out more at prehistoryguide.co.uk. Sound effects from Zapsplat.com. Special thanks to Rachel Holmes.
