Cranbrook Paleo Podcast

Join Tim,Dr. Andrew, and special guest Brian Engh as they explore the world Paleo art, the process of creating incredible illustrations, and using new discoveries in Paleontology to create the most accurate depictions of Dinosaurs and prehistoric life possible.    Cranbrook Institute of Science |   https://dontmesswithdinosaurs.com/ https://www.youtube.com/user/DinosaursReanimated https://www.instagram.com/brianengh_art/?hl=en     #brianengh #paleoart #art #ancientearth #PaleoPodcast #AncientLife #fossils #dinosaurs #paleontology

Join Andrew and Tim as they discuss movies, ants, and fossil casts with their guest, John Hankla!    Cranbrook Institute of Science |   #Ants #FossilCasts #Paleo #JohnHankla #Prehistoric #QueenAnt #Dinosaurs #JurassicWorld  

There are many different types of fossils that paleontologists study to figure out how dinosaurs lived, and some are stranger than other! In this episode, Tim and Andrew call in Dr. Martin Qvarnström, a paleontologist from the Department of Organismal Biology at Uppsala University, Sweden, to talk about how he uses fossilized dinosaur droppings to study not only dinosaurs, but insects that are immaculately preserved in dinosaur dung!   Cranbrook Institute of Science | #martinqvarnstrom #DinoDung #insects #ancientearth #PaleoPodcast #AncientLife #fossils #dinosaurs #paleontology  

While North America is notable for its many famous dinosaur discoveries, it is also well-known for other fossil finds. The La Brea Tar Pits in Los Angeles, California are home to a seemingly never-ending supply of fossil mammals, plants, insects, and more! In this episode, Dr. Emily Lindsey, Associate Curator and Excavation Site Director at the La Brea Tar Pits and Museum joins us to talk about the unique paleontology of the Tar Pits as well as her ongoing research related to extinction, climate change, and more.   #EmilyLindsey #Cranbrook #CranbrookPaleoPodcast #PodcastNation #Dionsoaurs #Fossils #TarPits #LeBreaTarPits

We may have some bad news about your favorite childhood dinosaur toy. In this episode, Steven and Elizabeth from the hit YouTube channel “Your Dinosaurs are Wrong” join Tim and Andrew to discuss their hit videos that poke fun at poorly designed or out-of-date dinosaur toys while simultaneously educating on the latest paleontological discoveries.   https://science.cranbrook.edu/   #YourDinosaursAreWrong #DionsaurToys #Toys #Dinosaurs #PaleoPodcast #CranbrookInstituteofScience #CIS #Podcast #PodcastNation #YouTube #AncientLife #JurassicPeriod #CretaceousPeriod

In order for NASA to do cool science, they need the help of cool scientists! The Perseverance rover, part of NASA's Mars 2020 mission, is currently in the midst of operations on the red planet, driving through an ancient river setting and collecting samples. But what is it looking for? What will it do next? These questions are part of the day-to-day operations carried out by Mars 2020 science team members like Dr. Andy Czaja and Andrea Corpolongo, who have joined Tim and Andrew to tell us Earthlings exactly what it's like to live on Martian time!   Cranbrook Institute of Science |   #MarsRover #AncientLife #PaleoPodcast #dinosaurs #Cretaceous #CranbrookInstituteofScience #Paleo #Mars #Space #NASA NASA    

Join Tim and Dr. Andrew as they discuss the most popular dino movie franchise ever! What did the creators of Jurassic Park get right...and what did they get wrong?   Cranbrook Institute of Science |   #jurassicpark #paleopodcast #dinosaurs #Trex #science #cranbrookinstituteofscience #TimUrban #AndrewGangidine #jurassicperiod  

When dinosaurs ruled the land, giant reptiles ruled the oceans. In this episode, Tim and Andrew discuss the many iconic marine reptiles and fish that populated the ancient seas.   Cranbrook Institute of Science |   #paleopodcast #dinosaurs #cranbrookinstituteofscience #paleo #ancientlife #ancientseas #megalodon #sharks

In this episode, Tim and Andrew talk with paleontologist, writer, and scientific consultant of all things dinosaur Dr. David Hone from the School of Biological and Chemical Sciences at Queen Mary University of London. Tune in to hear all about Dr. Hone's field expeditions and fossil discoveries which have paved the way for our understanding of dinosaur behavior, as well as his recent popular science books on dinosaurs!   Cranbrook Institute of Science |   David Hone (davehone.co.uk)   #DavidHone #PaleoPodcast #QueenMaryUniversityofLondon #dinosaurs #pterosaurs #cranbrookinstituteofscience  

The ancient skies weren't only occupied by dinosaurs! Pterosaurs, translating to “Wing Lizards” were flying reptiles that existed at the same time as dinosaurs, and were the earliest known vertebrates to have evolved powered flight. In this episode Tim and Andrew talk all things pterosaur, and dive into some particularly notable (and massive!) examples of famous pterosaurs.   Cranbrook Institute of Science |   #pterosaurs #winglizards #cranbrookinstituteofscience #paleopodcast #dinosaurs #cretaceousperiod  

Like the birds of the present day, dinosaurs were often feathered and took to the skies. New discoveries are shedding light onto the early evolution of birds and flying dinosaurs, in large part thanks to Dr. Jingmai O'Connor, Associate Curator of Fossil Reptiles at The Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago. In this episode, Dr. O'Connor shares the latest on her exciting new dinosaur research, and even a recently authored children's book!   #dinosaurs #paleopodcast #jingmaioconnor #birdsaredinosaurs #cranbrookinstituteofscience   Cranbrook Institute of Science |  

Around 66 million years ago a massive asteroid more than six miles wide was on a collision course with Earth. The resulting impact devasted the global environment, causing an “impact winter” that is thought to have blocked out most sunlight, disrupted food chains, and eventually lead to the extinction of an estimated 75% of all species on Earth. Most dinosaurs perished in the years following this impact – but not all! Join Tim and Andrew to hear everything about the dinosaurs that survived to this very day.   #paleopodcast #cranbrookinstituteofscience #podcasting #paleontology #podcastnation #dinosaurs #birdsaredinosaurs   Cranbrook Institute of Science |  

In this episode, Tim and Andrew chat with Dr. Steve Brusatte, a paleontologist and evolutionary biologist from the University of Edinburgh. On top of being an expert in the anatomy and evolution of dinosaurs, Dr. Brusatte is also an acclaimed author, having published several books related to dinosaurs and other past life on Earth. Listen to hear from the scientist that is so knowledgeable on dinosaurs that the Jurassic Park producers call him to get their facts straight!   #paleopodcast #stevebrusatte #crabrookinstituteofscience #jurassicpark #dinosaurs #podcastsforkids #t-rex   Cranbrook Institute of Science |

Inspired by Cranbrook Institute of Science's new "SUE: the T. rex Experience" exhibit (Oct 1, 2022 - April 30, 2023), this episode focuses on the Tyrannosaurus rex - perhaps the most fearsome and famous dinosaur ever discovered! Adored by both paleontologists and movie-goers alike, the T. rex continues to be the subject of ongoing scientific research, giving us detailed insight into what the daily life of this dinosaur was like. In this episode, Tim and Andrew discuss all things T. rex. What did it sound like? Is it deserving of the "Tyrant Lizard King" name? And what is up with those tiny arms?   Cranbrook Institute of Science | #trex #jurassicworld #paleontology #cretaceousperiod #cranbrookscience    

Meet Tim Urban and Dr. Andrew Gangidine of the Cranbrook Institute of Science! Find out how Tim and Andrew discovered dinosaurs (pun intended) at a young age and we'll revisit the time Tim's parents showed him a movie that changed his life forever! Listen as they cover all things ancient life and answer the question..."What is Paleontology?"   Cranbrook Institute of Science |   #paleontology #dinosaurs #science #cranbrook #kids #podcastnation
