Episode 49 - Fake Fossils
It’s no secret we love paleontology; it’s a fascinating field of study. But sometimes our favorite subject is polluted and perverted by fraud. In this episode, we’re talking about fake fossils: why they happen, how they happen, and what effect they have on the paleontological community as a whole. And then it’s story time, where we review some of history’s most famous fossil fakes.
In the news: an early long-neck, tiny footprints, a huge dicynodont surprise, and the marsupial lion.
