I Know Dino: The Big Dinosaur Podcast27 Mars 2024

A strong-tailed ornithopod and a strong-armed enantiornithine

Also, a nearly complete titanosaur was recently found! How long did it take for fossils in Australia to turn into opal? And how much do really exceptional fossil sites skew paleontological research?

Dinosaur of the day Zanclodon, An archosauriform originally named "Smilodon" because of its dagger-like teeth (but that name was already taken by the saber-toothed cat).

In dinosaur news this week:

There’s a new ornithopod, Chakisaurus nekul, which was much smaller than the titanosaurs that surrounded it in what is now Argentina
A new dinosaur, Imparavis attenboroughi, is a rare toothless enantiornithine that also likely had very powerful wings
A man out walking his dog found a nearly complete 70-million-year-old titanosaur
Fossils at Lightning Ridge, Australia took their sweet time to opalize
Really exceptional fossil sites (lagerstätten) are important, but they can influence our understanding of biodiversity and development on a global scale
