Podcasts about massospondylus

Tune in to hear about this long neck dino, and a cool discovery made about it's eggs!

What did dinosaurs really look like? On this episode, Neil deGrasse Tyson and comic co-host Marcia Belsky explore questions we all have about dinosaurs, fossils, feathers, and asteroids with paleontologist Kimberly Chapelle. Is Jurassic Park accurate?NOTE: StarTalk+ Patrons can watch or listen to this entire episode commercial-free.Photo Credit: Copyright © 2005 David Monniaux, CC BY-SA 3.0, via Wikimedia Commons

Dr Kimberley Chapelle is a postdoctoral fellow at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City. As a palaeontologist, her work involves CT scanning dinosaurs! A few hours after we recorded this podcast, Kimi's Kimi Chapelle's research on Massospondylus dinosaur embryos made the Editor's choice list for Nature's Scientific Reports. Her first paper can be found here: https://peerj.com/articles/4224/ And her Google Scholar profile, for more recent papers here: https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=TEozzlcAAAAJ&hl=en&oi=ao   Huge thanks to GENUS Palaeosciences for funding this podcast. 

Piecing together the early lives of dinosaurs is difficult due to a lack of fossils from juvenile and embryonic stages. In this episode, Elsa Panciroli talks to Dr Kimi Chappelle, a postdoctoral fellow at the Evolutionary Studies Institute, part of the University of Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, South Africa. Chappelle specialises in sauropodomorphs – the precursors of the giant sauropod dinosaurs like Diplodocus. Her recent work is helping build a picture of their growth and development. Chappelle is a champion of South African palaeontology and nominated as one of the Mail and Guardian’s top 200 young South Africans in Science and Technology. With her colleagues she has published a stunning new study of sauropodomorph embryos from a fossil nest site in South Africa. This new paper visualises and describes their tiny skulls using synchrotron scan data. These fossils provide new information on dinosaur developmental processes, and places South African fossils at the heart of our understanding of their early evolution. Chappelle also talks about the latest work she’s involved with in Zimbabwe, and future research into the growth patterns of the largest dinosaurs to have ever lived.

Currie MuseumThe Scottish government is working on better protecting the fossils on the Isle of Skye in ScotlandIn India, a group of scientists are pushing for a bill that will designate and safeguard fossil sitesIn Romania, new dinosaur nests have been found, most likely from a hadrosaur like TelmatosaurusThe Natural History Museum in London has digitized their holotype of MantellisaurusThe Central Museum of Mongolian Dinosaurs recently opened a new exhibition hall, themed Paleozoic EraDinosaur Park in Laurel, Maryland has an open house this summer, on September 7Trix the T.rex is back in Leiden, at the updated Naturalis Biodiversity Center in the NetherlandsA new project called “On the Trail of Dinosaurs,” will bring the Dinosaur Tracks from the Australian Dampier Peninsula to lifechildren visiting the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences regularly try to help the injured sauropod, giving it hugs and Band-Aids.South Dakota rancher Kenny Brown recently retired and bequeathed his 1,330 acre ranch to the School of MinesPLOS One blog has a list of events for National Fossil Day in the US (October 16)On August 29, the US Postal Service is issuing four new T. rex stamps, with a holographsNickelodeon has a new animated series coming out September 14, LEGO Jurassic World: Legend of Isla NubarTo get access to lots of patron only content check out https://www.patreon.com/iknowdinoFor links to every news story, all of the details we shared about Polacanthus, and our fun fact check out https://iknowdino.com/Polacanthus-Episode-248/

Dinosaur of the day Yamaceratops, a ceratopsian whose frill is heavily pitted, possibly for jaw muscle attachments. Interview with Ali Nabavizadeh, Assistant Professor of anatomy at Cooper Medical School of Rowan University. He studies the jaw musculature of herbivorous dinosaurs. Follow him on Twitter @Vert_Anatomist and check out his blog Anatomist's Guide. In dinosaur news this week: A large sauropod from the Late Cretaceous has been found in the Gobi Desert and it’s about 30-40% complete In Argentina 70 million year old dinosaur eggs were found possibly including embryos, skin, and teeth The “Tufts-Love” T. rex skull at the Burke Museum has found 100% of the skull and jaw bones by bone count including several that are rarely preserved Junchang Lü, one of the most prominent paleontologists in China, recently passed away at the beginning of October at the age of 53 Chilesaurus diegosuarezi, the first Jurassic dinosaur found in Chile, is going on exhibit at the Regional Museum of Aysen, in Coyhaique, Chile, next year An Allosaurus will be posed with a nest at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History since it may have looked after its young Jurassic World is selling Indoraptor masks, just in time for Halloween A study of 150 Ceolophysis—mostly from the same bonebed—show that early triassic dinosaurs had femora that changed significantly as they aged The data used to support the Ornithoscelida hypothesis had many errors, which casts some doubt on the conclusion that Ornithoscelida should replace the traditional Saurischia and Ornithischia groups A study of a baby Massospondylus and it’s forelimb strength shows that Massospondylus was bipedal for its entire life A simulation of Mussaurus (the earliest Jurassic sauropodomorph) showed its center of mass shifted as it grew, meaning that it was quadrupedal as a baby and bipedal as an adult Researchers used a program called niche mapper to model microclimates of Plateosaurus & Coelophysis, showing which environments they would prefer based on plumage and metabolic rates Reconstructions of dinosaur feeding musculature shows that they chewed in a way different than any animal alive today A study of emu and ostrich bones found many similarities with dinosaurs and suggests using bone microstructure to identify maturity Sauropodomorph inner ears vary significantly across groups: Diplodocoids have relatively smaller inner ear, while Giraffatitan has the largest known inner-ear By studying alligator and turkey arms we might be able to show which theropods could supinate their hands as they drew them to their body A study of dinosaur bearing sites from Dinosaur Park Formation in Alberta & Saskatchewan and the similar aged Judith River sites in Montana shows which locations were the most similar A new model of dinosaur diversity in the latest cretaceous shows that they were not in decline, but instead maybe slowing down or leveling off This episode is brought to you in part by TRX Dinosaurs, which makes beautiful and realistic dinosaur sculptures, puppets, and animatronics.

En 1853, el explorador J.M. Orpen encontró en las cercanías de la ciudad sudafricana de Harrismith, situada al norte de Lesoto, los huesos fosilizados de un gran animal: varias vértebras, un omoplato, un húmero, un fémur, una tibia, parte de una pelvis, y huesos de las manos y los pies. El paleontólogo sir Richard Owen bautizó el nuevo dinosaurio con el nombre de Massospondylus, de los términos griegos “masson” (“mayor”, “más grande”) y “spondylos” (“vértebra”) debido a sus enormes vértebras cervicales.
