    In today's episode we chat with Franz Anthony, an Indonesian paleoartist, fossil crab king and #1 invertebrate iNaturalist (T&Cs apply).

Franz can be found on Twitter @franzanth.

  • S2 Ep1. Fossil DNA with Dr Ross Barnett

    In today's episode we chat with Dr Ross Barnett, a palaeogeneticist, author and sabercat enthusiast. We chat about DNA, what it is and how scientists can use it to figure out who ancient bones belong to! We also chat about mass extinctions, the impact of bring extinct animals back to life, and about why you'd need wellington boots if you were watching a sabercat hunt. Ross's book 'The Missing Lynx' covers many of these topics (and more!) and can be found now at all book retailers or online. Ross regularly tweets @DeepFriedDNA.

  • Ep. 6 Experimental Taphonomy and the Burgess Shale with Dr Orla Bath Enright

    PalaeoParty! is a biweekly interactive podcast about palaeontology.


    In today's episode we chat  with Dr Orla Bath Enright, a Postdoctoral researcher at Lusanne University, Switzerland. Orla talks us through the disgusting and smell world of experimental taphonomy (learning how fossils form). We learn how she uses flume tanks (think giant washing   machines) to recreate ancient underwater landslides! We also talk about the Burgess Shale, a famous fossil site in Canada that preserves fossils of soft-bodied animals that are over 500 million years old. Orla can be found on twitter @BathEnright.

    PalaeoParty! is a biweekly interactive podcast about palaeontology.


    In today's episode we chat (and laugh a lot) with Dr Alessandro Chiarenza, a Postdoctoral researcher at UCL, UK. Alessandro introduces the dinosaurs and teaches Thomas why they are important and amazing animals in their own right. We also talk about the moments just before and after the asteroid impact 66 million years ago and why mammals survive. We also learn that Alessandro's least favourite dinosaur is the humble duck.  Alessandro can be found on twitter @AAlechiarenza.

    In today's episode we chat with Dr Thomas Wong-Hearing, a Postdoctoral researcher at Ghent University, UK. Thomas explains how we work out the climate of the Earth 550 million years ago - a very important time in the history of the planet, when animals suddenly appear in the fossil record! Thomas can be found on twitter @ThomasHearing. We also get to meet Dr. Deans' two house rabbits: Hank and Mouse! (Don't say we don't give you anything extra here at PalaeoParty!).

  • Ep. 1 Fossil Poop With Hannah Byrne

    PalaeoParty! is a biweekly interactive podcast about palaeontology.


    In todays episode we chat with Hannah Byrne, a PhD student at the University of Uppsala, Sweden. Hannah tells us all about how she got into palaeontology, her interest in working out ancient tides, fossil trackways in Ireland, but best of all, she teaches us all about fossil poop! Turns out poop is really useful for palaeontologists trying to understand ancient animals. Who would have thought? Hannah can be found on twitter @HM_Byrne.
