Episode 127 - The Hell Creek Formation
Located across a wide area of the Upper Great Plains of the United States, the Hell Creek Formation is one of the world’s premier locations for studying the Age of Dinosaurs, especially trends of evolution – and extinction – at the very end of the Mesozoic Era. In this episode, we discuss the ancient history and scientific history of the region, including some famous finds and groundbreaking research.
In the news: giant ammonites, extinction beetles, baby pterosaurs, and the controversial Tetrapodophis.
