The Backpacker's Guide To Prehistory

S1 E5: The Triassic


Listen Later

Gather round the campfire as host David Mountain prepares for an adventure through the Triassic, the Jurassic's older, cooler brother. If you can avoid being eaten by giant reptiles, falling into enormous dung beds and getting stuck in a two-million-year-long rainstorm, then the Triassic might just be the trip of your lifetime!

Providing some much-needed travel advice are Dr Emma Dunne, a palaeobiologist at the University of Birmingham (https://emmadunne.weebly.com/; https://twitter.com/emmadnn) and Prof Mike Benton, a palaeontologist at the University of Bristol (https://research-information.bris.ac.uk/en/persons/michael-j-benton). If you're interested in finding out more about the Triassic then make sure to check out their research.
