TLS07E01 Pterodactylus

We’ve run out of dinosaurs (stega what now?) and so thanks to popular demand (well, Dave’s demand) we’re doing (almost) an entire series on pterosaurs!

Everyone’s favourite Mesozoic flying reptiles (well, Dave’s favourite) are getting a series to spread their wings. We start with the namesake of the clade, Pterodactylus itself and something of the early history of pterosaur discoveries and research and the unusual interpretations that were floated for these incredibly strange (then and now) animals.

The original episode we did on pterosaurs. If you’ve not listened to it before (or recently) you might want to revisit that before the rest of this series.

Dave: "I'm running out of dinosaur things to talk about"

Also Dave: "Stegosaurus? Never heard of it"

Very nice to hear Dr Hone back in his element!

Izzy and her sound effects give me life!

The comment about about paleoart not really depicting a large number of pterosaurs in flocks was interesting. Ive never really thought about that before
