Further reading: New species of extinct vampire-squid-like cephalopod When teeth grow on the body Fossil shark turns into mystery pterosaur Scientists Had Never Seen This Elusive Whale Alive—Until Now Show transcript: Welcome to Strange Animals Podcast. I'm your host, Kate Shaw. This month I wasn't sure what to cover in this episode, so I decided to just click on four random bookmarks of scientific articles that I've had waiting for attention, and we'll discuss them. We haven't done a four articles episode in a long time! The first article is from March 2022, and it's about the discovery of an ancient cephalopod. Cephalopods include octopuses and squid. Octopuses famously have eight arms, while squid have eight arms and two feeding tentacles. Despite its name, the deep-sea vampire squid is actually more closely related to octopuses than to squid, and a newly discovered fossil is an ancestor to both. The fossil is 328 million years old and was discovered in Montana, in the United States, in 1988 but was only studied recently. Fossils of soft-bodied animals are incredibly rare, and this one is remarkably well-preserved. All of the animal's arms are preserved, including the suckers, but instead of eight arms, it had ten. Scientists have long suspected that the ancestors of modern octopuses and vampire squid had ten arms. The vampire squid has eight arms and two feeding filaments that are vestigial arms. But this is the first fossil found that shows ten arms. The fossil is of an animal with a torpedo-like body shaped like a modern squid. Two of its arms appear to be elongated compared to its other arms. It's about 4 and a half inches long including its arms, or 12 cm. That's pretty much all we know about it now, but hopefully the fossil will reveal more information as it continues to be studied. Our next article is from October 2017 and is intriguingly titled “When teeth grow on the body.” It sounds horrific, but it's actually a study of certain catfish that grow bony plates with tiny teeth on their bodies as defense. Catfish don't have scales, but some species of denticulate catfish that live in South America grow bony plates that act like armor. Many of these plates are covered in thin little teeth–actual teeth, including enamel and dentin, with pulp inside. They're called extra-oral teeth, dermal denticles, or odontodes, and the study determined that they appeared about 120 million years ago in ancient catfish that hadn't yet evolved the bony plates. The teeth regrow when they're lost, and in some species, males grow larger teeth than females and use them to fight other males. Imagine biting someone without needing to open your mouth. Our next article is from November 2020, about more fossils. The fossils were discovered in a collection at the Sedgwick Museum of Cambridge and the Booth Museum at Brighton in England, and were originally found in the latter half of the 19th century by miners. A PhD student at the University of Portsmouth was studying fossilized shark spines from the collection when he realized they weren't actually shark spines. Instead, they were jaw fragments from pterosaurs. Pterosaurs were flying reptiles that filled many ecological niches that birds fill today. One of the species identified from the collection is called Ornithostoma, which means bird mouth, an animal that lived in the early Cretaceous, about 110 million years ago, in what is now Europe. We know very little about it except that it didn't have teeth, but it probably ate fish. But there were some other jaw fragments that didn't belong to Ornithostoma, and in fact don't match up to any known pterosaur jaws. It may belong to a new species, but the fossils are so fragmentary that there's no way to know for sure. The rocks that the fossils came from were completely destroyed more than a century ago during phosphate mining, so unless more fragments are found in other collections, we may never learn more about this mystery pterosaur. Our last article is from July 2022, and I have no idea why I haven't talked about it on the podcast before now. It's about Sato's beaked whale, also called kurotsuchi. It's a type of four-toothed whale with a short beak, and it's dark gray and can grow up to 23 feet long, or 7 meters. It was only identified in 2016 as being different from the two other known species of four-toothed whales, after careful analysis, including DNA analysis, of dead individuals that had been found washed ashore. Until the summer of 2021, no one had ever seen a living Sato's beaked whale. Then some researchers studying orcas spotted 14 of the beaked whales swimming together between Hokkaido, Japan and the Kuril Islands. The scientists recognized that these were unusual whales and they were able to get a small skin sample from one. Genetic testing confirmed that they were indeed Sato's beaked whales. Researchers think the whales may spend at least part of the year in tropical waters, since that's where cookie cutter sharks live and the whales show circular bite scars from cookie cutter sharks. Not much is known about most species of beaked whale, and Sato's beaked whale is especially mysterious. But at least we know it's alive and well right now.

Could evidence exist that challenges conventional timelines of human history? In this fascinating episode of The ‘X' Zone, Rob McConnell welcomes author and researcher Michael Cremo to discuss Hidden Archaeology and the discoveries that have fueled debate about humanity's ancient past. Known for examining controversial archaeological findings, Michael explores reports of artifacts, fossil discoveries, and historical evidence that some researchers argue do not fit within mainstream models of human evolution and civilization. He discusses why certain discoveries remain controversial, how archaeological evidence is evaluated, and the importance of questioning assumptions while maintaining rigorous standards of scientific inquiry. Throughout the interview, Rob and Michael examine the ongoing dialogue between conventional archaeology and alternative historical interpretations. Listeners will gain insight into how archaeological theories evolve, how new discoveries are assessed, and why critical thinking and evidence-based analysis are essential when considering extraordinary claims about the origins of humanity. Whether you're interested in archaeology, ancient civilizations, human origins, lost history, or alternative perspectives on the past, this episode offers an engaging exploration of one of the most debated subjects in historical research.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-x-zone-radio-tv-show--1078348/support.Please note that all XZBN radio and/or television shows are Copyright © REL-MAR McConnell Meda Company, Niagara, Ontario, Canada – www.rel-mar.com.

Scientists will sometimes strike palaeontological gold and discover 'fossil graveyards', sites containing thousands or millions of animal bodies, which have fossilised allowing study today. Belinda Smith speaks to palaeontologists working at two very different types of fossil graveyard — one in Australia, the other in Canada — to find out what accumulated fossilised remains reveal about life on Earth before humans impacted the ecology and when climate was very different.

In this month's Those Old Fossils, Palitoy Pete, Martin, and Dan turn their attention to one of Kenner's most iconic vintage Star Wars releases — the Jabba the Hutt Playset. The team also takes a closer look at Bib Fortuna, Jabba's loyal Twi'lek majordomo, exploring the character's role in Star Wars and the story behind his classic Kenner figure. Jez drops in throughout the show to share his thoughts on both items, while Ron Salvatore delivers an impassioned deep dive into Jabba, discussing every aspect of the playset — from original concepts and prototypes to the question: is Jabba the Hutt actually an action figure? This sparks a lively debate amongst the team. Mark Andrews joins Dan to share his passion for Bib Fortuna and also reveals that Frank's Mews Baggie Guide has found a new home on the Variant Villains website — and is better than ever. From one of Kenner's greatest playsets to one of Jabba's most recognisable allies, this episode is packed with collecting stories, expert insights, in our continuing celebration of the vintage Star Wars collecting hobby.

Further reading: Giant early whale Basilosaurus hunted the calves of other whales Show transcript: Welcome to Strange Animals Podcast. I'm your host, Kate Shaw. Let's look at some extinct whale ancestors this month, basilosaurids. We talked about the ancestors of whales in episode 72, about weird whales. After mosasaurs went extinct at the same time as the non-avian dinosaurs, 66 million years ago, basilosaurids evolved to fill the ecological niche they left. Mosasaurs were big marine reptiles while basilosaurids were big marine mammals, but in many ways basilosaurids looked more like mosasaurs than they did modern whales. Basilosaurids differed from their ancestors in that they were fully aquatic. They didn't come out of the water at all and probably couldn't. They did still have hind legs, but they were tiny and scientists think the animal probably only used the legs to help stay in place while mating. The hind legs were really small in comparison to the body, only 14 inches long, or 35 cm, in a 52-foot specimen, or 16 meters. Tyrannosaurus rex would look at that and say, “you've got really small legs, bruh.” Its front legs were larger and more flipper-like, although it still had an elbow joint that modern whales have lost, although modern seals still have an elbow joint. The reason Basilosaurids have a name that sounds an awful lot like a dinosaur name is because the person who described the first one scientifically thought it was a reptile. That was a man named Richard Harlan, an early paleontologist, who thought the fossils he was sent belonged to a marine reptile, possibly a mosasaur relation. In 1839 he named it Basilosaurus, which means “king lizard.” Then he took the fossils to another Richard, Richard Owen, who gave them a second look. Owen pointed out that the teeth didn't look anything like reptile teeth and that the animal was probably some kind of whale. He and Harlan decided to rename the animal Zeuglodon, but it was too late! The first name was published, and Basilosaurus stayed king lizard despite not being a reptile. That didn't stop many paleontologists from using Zeuglodon instead for quite a while, which has caused all kinds of confusion. Fossils of that particular species are especially common in the southern United States, so common in some places that the fossilized vertebrae were sometimes used as house supports. We talked about Basilosaurus in the paleontological frauds episode, because bones from six different basilosaurs formed the fake sea serpent skeleton exhibited around the United States and Europe in 1845. Basilosaurus did look a little bit like a sea serpent in that it was very long and relatively slender, and its body wasn't rigid like a modern whale's. It grew up to 66 feet long, or 20 meters, and probably longer, and is sometimes described as eel-like. It probably had small flukes at the end of the tail, but it didn't swim like a modern whale. Its vertebrae were large, hollow, and filled with fluid. This made Basilosaurus buoyant but probably also meant it had trouble diving very deeply. There are only two species in the genus Basilosaurus, although there are lots of other Basilosaurids in other genera. The other Basilosaurus was slightly smaller and is most well known from an incredible bone bed in Egypt called Wadi al Hitan. Around 35 million years ago, Wadi al Hitan was a shallow coastal area full of life. It wouldn't have looked all that weird to us at first glance, because a lot of the animals and plants that lived there were early relations of the ones that are still around today. These included sea cows that ate marine plants, various crocodilians, sea turtles, sea snakes, lots of birds, including pelicans, and lots of fish, including sawfish, sharks, and rays. There was even a kind of elephant living along the coast of this warm, shallow sea, Moeritherium, which probably looked more like a hippo or tapir than an elephant. There were also whales, specifically a type of dolphin-like animal called Dorudon. Dorudon was also a basilosaurid, but it only grew about 16 feet long, or 5 meters. It ate fish and other small animals and probably looked a lot like a miniature Basilosaurus—in fact, it was initially thought to be a juvenile Basilosaurus when it was first discovered. Dorudon may actually be a direct ancestor of modern whales, although we don't know for sure. Paleontologists think Dorudon used Wadi al Hitan as a calving ground. About half of the Dorudon fossils found there are of calves. But there are also fossils of Basilosaurus, and it was there to hunt. In 2016, a complete skeleton of a Basilosaurus was discovered at Wadi al Hitan. Complete skeletons are incredibly rare in the fossil record, and this one was beautifully preserved. It even had the remains of its last meals preserved in the space that had once been its stomach, the first time preserved stomach contents had ever been found associated with a basilosaurus. Paleontologists knew Basilosaurus was a meat-eater because of its teeth, but they assumed it probably mostly ate fish. There were remains of a big fish in the stomach, but there were also remains of two young Dorudons. The remains are in pieces with bite marks on the skulls, which suggests that basilosaurus hunted like orcas do, where they bite the skulls of humpback whale calves. Basilosaurids had small brains compared to modern whales and didn't have the adaptations that would indicate it could echolocate. However, it did have a slightly asymmetrical skull, which is something needed for echolocation. Researchers think this was the first adaptation that later led to echolocation, and it probably helped the animal hear better underwater. Finally, one important thing. If a big basilosaurus fought a megalodon shark, who would win? The answer is, this would never happen because megalodon didn't evolve until 23 million years ago while basilosaurids all died out by about 33 million years ago. Sorry, I'm no fun. Also, megalodon would have won because megalodon was a better swimmer. Thanks for your support, and thanks for listening!

While many dinosaurs were wiped out when a colossal asteroid struck Earth 66m years ago, one group survived: birds. Prof Steve Brusatte, a palaeontologist at the University of Edinburgh, has written a new book, The Story of Birds, tracing the evolution of our feathered friends from their dinosaur origins. He joins science correspondent Nicola Davis to discuss how scales first became feathers, how winged dinosaurs survived the impact of the asteroid and why their extreme adaptability offers hope that birds might also make it through the current environmental crisis.

Tim Conway Jr Show Hour 3 (6.1) Conway kicks off the hour with a mission to help a classic Mexican restaurant in L.A., plus the wild story of a 6th grader discovering an 80-million-year-old fossil. Not bad for middle school — most kids are just trying to survive homework. Then the show turns to a scary celebrity security story involving Sabrina Carpenter, who was granted a temporary restraining order after a man allegedly trespassed at her Hollywood Hills home, tried to open her front door, and assaulted a security guard. The protective order also covers her sister Sarah and Sarah’s partner, with court dates coming up in June. Later, Conway and Mark Thompson get ready to head to Engelbert Humperdinck’s concert, but things take a classic Conway turn with a story about getting kicked out of a casino — recently. That leads into a bigger conversation about young people, gambling apps, and the growing issue of sports betting addiction. The hour wraps with the latest on the massive Kimberly-Clark warehouse fire in Ontario, California. The 1.2 million-square-foot distribution center was destroyed in a huge arson fire, and demolition crews are now tearing down what remains.

Faith & Fossils (Part 2): Creation, Science, and the Culture ConversationCan Christians trust creation science, or are faith and science always at odds?In this follow-up to the Faith & Fossils conversation, the guys move beyond the theories of origins and into the cultural tension surrounding them. Why are creationists often viewed as “anti-science”? Is the conflict really about evidence, or is it a deeper clash of worldviews? And should creation science have a place in public education?Along the way, the conversation wrestles with faith, identity, secular humanism, education, and how Christians can think carefully about science without fear. Plus, there's an unexpected NBA rant, flavor chemists, and Aaron's candle obsession. You know, the important stuff.This episode doesn't aim to settle every debate, but it does encourage thoughtful conversation around some foundational questions: What do we believe about our origins, and why does it matter?  In this episode:Why creationists are often perceived as “anti-science”Is the debate really science vs. faith, or worldview vs. worldview?Can Christians trust creation science?Should creation science be taught in schools?Why origins matter more than we often realizeA book recommendation for exploring different creation views fairlyHave thoughts or questions?Join the conversation and let us know what you think about the Faith & Fossils series.

Faith & Fossils: Can Christians Disagree About Origins?Few conversations create more tension among Christians than the question of origins. Was creation six literal days? Are the “days” of Genesis longer periods of time? Can faith and science coexist without compromising Scripture?In this episode, we begin a thoughtful conversation around Young Earth Creationism, Old Earth Creationism, and Evolutionary Creationism. Rather than arguing caricatures, we wrestle with what Scripture says, where faithful Christians disagree, and why the conversation matters.Most importantly, we ask a deeper question: What, exactly, is at stake?Whether you love theology, science, apologetics, or you simply want to better understand why Christians see Genesis differently, this conversation is for you.In this episode:Why Christians disagree about GenesisIs a literal 24-hour day a “linchpin” issue?Does an old earth challenge the doctrine of the fall?Where creation, the gospel, and biblical authority intersectWhy humility matters in difficult theological conversationsJoin the conversation:aburdenforthetimes@gmail.com Thanks for Listening!

In the latest episode of Those Old Fossils, Palitoy Pete, Martin, and Dan turn their attention to one of the most memorable droids in the vintage Kenner line – the ever-popular R5-D4. Following last month's focus on Luke Skywalker Jedi Knight, the team continue celebrating characters who have appeared in The Mandalorian series, once again tying our figure focus  to the excitement surrounding the upcoming release of The Mandalorian and Grogu, arriving in cinemas in less than a week. The episode opens with a look at the recent Vectis and C&T auctions, as the team discuss standout lots, surprising results, and notable sales, before turning their attention to the upcoming Oberon auction and sharing the items they'll be watching most closely. The discussion also touches on GENERATION SKYWALKER'S Vintage Figure of the Year competition, which has been running across Facebook and Instagram since late March, and concludes on 22nd May, with the team reviewing recent results and predicting the remaining matchups. Ron Salvatore from the Star Wars Collectors Archive (SWCA) joins the main discussion once again, bringing his trademark insight and expertise as the group explore the history, appeal, and collecting nuances of this classic Kenner release. https://theswca.com/ Elsewhere in the episode, Mark Andrews from Variant Villains has bought alongside R5-D4 focus collector Nick Eppinga, taking a deeper look at the figure's variations — including the ever-fascinating “Red Bar” version. https://www.variantvillain.com/characters/sw/r5-d4/ Despite originally appearing only briefly in A New Hope, R5-D4 has become one of the most recognisable and beloved droids in the vintage line. Packed with collecting insight, nostalgia, hobby chat, and passionate discussion, this episode is another deep dive into the vintage galaxy far, far away. Join us as we celebrate the little red astromech whose bad motivator changed Star Wars history forever.

When you really think about it, sex to make babies is WEIRD! You take an outie that has to get stuck inside an innie that links into a production line of eggs to assemble a perfect tiny being. It's so damn complicated!So why does it work like that?Join us at What the Duck for the first episode of a new series where we figure out how living things went from splitting ourselves in half to double the population, to periodically feeling compelled to copulate in such a vigorous, sometimes highly embarrassing, manner.Earth — this is your sexual history!Please note that this program contains adult themes and explicit language.

SpaceTime Series 29 Episode 47 *Are black holes from before the Big Bang shaping the Universe A new study suggests that ancient black holes from before the big bang may be shaping the universe. The idea is that the cosmos goes through eternal never ending cycles of expanding out from a big bang and then eventually collapsing in a big crunch which triggers another big band and so on. *The bathtub ring hinting at an ancient Martian ocean Scientists have identified geological features on Mars that appear to point to a vast sea shore or coast line stretching around the red planet's northern hemisphere. *A just award for studying the stars The bi-annual Berenice and Arthur Page Medal winners for excellence in amateur astronomy for 2026 have been presented to Chris Stockdale, Jonathan Bradshaw and Renato Langersek at the Annual National Australian Convention of Amateur Astronomers in Tamworth. *The Science Report Study shows heart risk patterns of obesity differ between men and women. Ancient rock art shows Tasmanian Tigers roamed the main land as recently as 1000 years ago. Claims Australia's most famous dinosaur – Muttaburrasaurus – might have been a picky eater.

Prof. Paul Barrett of the Natural History Museum, London, recently authored A History of Dinosaurs in 50 Fossils. We took this as an opportunity to get an overview of what we really know about dinosaurs and how it's even possible to tell their story with just 50 specimens. In this episode, Paul discusses the history of dinosaur research, the current state of the science and what are still some of the big unknowns.

The boys are going through it. Trump posting himself as God. Fossils are just rocks. Is it all just a conspiracy?

Specifically for Seniors • Guest: Bill McKibbenAbout the GuestBill McKibben is a journalist, author of 20+ books, and professor at Middlebury College. He wrote the first major book on climate change in the 1980s and founded 350.org — the world's first global grassroots climate campaign — and Third Act, an organization mobilizing Americans over 60 on climate and democracy.Episode SummaryMcKibben joins host Dr. Larry Barsh to argue that cheap solar and wind power represent the most powerful climate tool humanity has ever had — and that older Americans are uniquely positioned to lead the fight.The Solar Revolution. About five years ago, solar and wind became cheaper than fossil fuels. China now installs 3 gigawatts of solar daily — one coal plant's worth every eight hours. California regularly generates 100%+ of its electricity from renewables, with batteries storing the surplus. Every tenth of a degree of warming we prevent matters: each pushes 100 million people from safe to dangerous climate zones.Sunlight vs. Oil. "Sunlight travels 93 million miles to reach Earth — none of them through the Strait of Hormuz." Oil is the truly intermittent energy source. A handful of drones can shut down global supply. Nobody can embargo the sun.Batteries. Lithium-ion batteries are recyclable. The total minerals needed for the renewable battery revolution through mid-century are less in volume than one year's global coal mining. Lithium lasts 25 years and can be reused. Coal gets burned once and requires constant replacement.Health Costs. Fossil fuels cause roughly 9 million deaths per year worldwide — 1 in 5 deaths globally. Canada's 2023 wildfires, driven by climate change, caused 80,000 US deaths from smoke inhalation alone. Home insurance costs are skyrocketing as climate risk makes underwriting nearly impossible.Third Act & Senior Power. With 120,000 members nationwide, Third Act is proving seniors are a political force. Recent wins: legalized plug-in balcony solar in Utah, Virginia, and Maine; won a clean-energy majority on Arizona's Salt River Project board (serving 2M people); launched Gray PAC and phone banks for key elections. The "Rocking Chair Rebellion" shut down big-bank branches in 100 cities to protest fossil fuel financing.America's Self-Sabotage. The first solar cell was invented at Bell Labs in 1956. The first industrial wind turbine was built in Vermont in 1943. These American technologies have been handed to China while the US rolls back clean energy policy — what McKibben calls "economic national self-sabotage" without precedent.Legacy. "We're in danger of being the first generation that left the world a lot worse off than we found it." Young people aren't just anxious about climate — they're anxious about being abandoned. McKibben's call: use the time, skills, and political power that come with age to organize, vote, and fight.Key Quotes"There is no known way to stop old people from voting. We come preloaded with real power."— Bill McKibben"Solar energy takes power away from billionaires. That makes it ipso facto good."— Bill McKibben"Sunlight travels 93 million miles to reach Earth — none of them through the Strait of Hormuz."— Bill McKibben"There is no known way to stop old people from voting. We come preloaded with real power."— Bill McKibben"We live in a world where billionaires have too much power. Things that take power and money away from billionaires are ipso facto good — and solar energy is one of them."— Bill McKibben"We're in danger of being the first generation that left the world a lot worse off than we found it — which we do not want to do."— Bill McKibbenResourcethirdact.org350.orgBook: Here Comes the Sun by Bill McKibbenSpecifically for Seniors Podcast • Follow or subscribe wherever you listen

Across our planet, natural archives preserve the biological footprints of species long gone, from woolly mammoths at the macro scale, through plants and seeds, to dormant bacteria and viruses at the micro end of the spectrum. And one environment that safeguards some of this material in the best condition of all is the cold - in other words, in ice. So, this week, we're going to look at what is sitting in nature's deep freeze... Like this podcast? Please help us by supporting the Naked Scientists

Ray and Dave talk with vertebrate paleontologist and SVP President Stuart Sumida about sail-backed synapsids, pelycosaurs, and the world before dinosaurs while also diving into his work advising filmmakers and animators on how extinct animals should really move, look, and behave.

Journey back in time some 60 million years to the Cenozoic with Dr. Ellen Currano by looking at fossil leaves. Aside from just being cool, leaf fossils can tell us a lot about the ecology of long extinct ecosystems. For instance, leaf margins can tell you about things like temperature while leaf size can tell you about precipitation. Also, looking at fossilized insect damage can reveal important insights into how climate influences herbivory. Join us for a deep dive on the myriad scientific insights fossil leaves can provide.
