Pals in Palaeo

8. Hallucigenia


Listen Later

Join palaeontologists Adele Pentland and Dr Martin Smith on a fossil fever dream through the Cambrian! 

This episode we discuss the spicy noodle Hallucigenia (an inch long worm with spikes, claws and Cthulhu tentacles), family ties to the velvet worms and frolic through the famous Burgess Shale in the Canadian Rockies. 

Plus de-extinction of 32,000 year old Pleistocene plants from Siberia, revived by raiding a prehistoric squirrel pantry for frozen fruits.
