Dinosaur of the day Saurornithoides, a troodontid from Mongolia named in 1924 by Osborn in the same paper as Velociraptor.

In dinosaur news this week:

  • Paleontologists reviewed what it means to have a dome-head and to headbutt like a pachycephalosaurid (and other prehistoric animals)
  • Mississippi has a new most complete dinosaur, but the species is still a mystery
  • Histology can tell us if a fossil belonged to a dinosaur or another type of animals

This episode is brought to you by Brilliant, the app with thousands of bite-sized, interactive lessons on cutting-edge topics.
