Episode 106 - Franz Nopcsa
Happy Darwin Day!
Baron Franz Nopcsa was a paleontologist around the start of the 20th Century, remembered today for his innovative fossil research, his (in)famous personality, and his fantastic adventures across Eastern Europe. In this episode, we’ll discuss how this aristocrat became a paleontologist and how he contributed to our modern understanding of dinosaurs, and we’ll share some of the incredible and bizarre stories that surround him.
In the news: Parasaurolophus crests, sand striker burrows, dogs in Siberia, and life on Pinatubo.
