Podcasts about Paleontology

Dr. Greg Wilson Mantilla is a Professor in the Department of Biology, Adjunct Professor in Department of Earth & Space Sciences, Curator of Vertebrate Paleontology at the Burke Museum, and Director of the DIG Field School at the University of Washington. He is also a Research Associate at the University of California Museum of Paleontology. His research explores the evolution of mammals that lived alongside dinosaurs and how mammals have diversified over time. Remarkable fossil discoveries have revealed that these early mammals were far more diverse than once thought, including species adapted for digging, climbing, gliding, and even feeding on small dinosaurs. Outside of science, Greg enjoys staying active, spending time with his family, and following sports. Playing soccer has long been a favorite pastime, and Greg now enjoys coaching his two children. He also enjoys watching soccer and other sports, working out, reading, traveling, and relaxing with movies and TV shows. Greg received his B.A. in Human Biology from Stanford University and his Ph.D. in Integrative Biology from the University of California, Berkeley. Afterwards, he received an NSF Fellowship to conduct postdoctoral research at the University of Helsinki. Before moving to the University of Washington, Greg was Curator of Vertebrate Paleontology at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science. Greg was awarded the Raymond M. Alf Award for Excellence in Paleontological Research & Education from the Raymond M. Alf Museum of Paleontology, and he received the University of Washington's Bergstrom Award for Art and Science (with Ari Rudenko). In this interview, Greg shares more about his life and science.

The gang discusses two papers that describe fossils which provide glimpses into the evolution and ecology of animals that were "late editions" to their clade. In other words, this podcast is focusing on fossils whose ages place them were close to the extinction of their respective groups. The first paper identifies ecological preferences in late Paleozoic trilobites, and the second paper describes a terror bird from South America that provides further evidence for a younger extinction of the group than traditionally understood. Meanwhile, Curt proposes a sitcom, Amanda has great timing, and James enjoys watching robots fail.   Up-Goer Five (James Edition): This week the group read two papers about some of the last members of some groups of animals that are now dead. The first paper looks at small animals with hard skin and lots of legs that can roll up into balls. Although these animals used to come in lots of different shapes, by this time they come in only a few different shapes and are thought to all look like each other. The animals in the paper are found toward the end of when they lived and come both rolled up, all stretched out, and broken up into little bits, showing that some of them were moved into where they are found by water. The animals found in the area are of two different kinds that are almost the same to each other but are found in different parts of the area, with one living in water that is not as deep and the other living in deeper water, showing that they were doing different things. The other paper is looking at the bone of a big angry animal that walked and had a body covered in things that are not hair but would have helped it fly if it was not so big. This one is found long after we thought these animals all died, and is also found from the bottom of the two big bits of land that got married at some point. When these bits of land got married, a lot of animals moved to the bottom bit of land and some moved to the top bit. These animals moved to the top bit and then went missing from the bottom bit, but because this animal bone was discovered we know that they actually still were in the bottom bit long after we thought they went missing.   References: Kudo, Nakuru, and Yuta Shiino.

If you've ever wondered whether humanity can adapt to a changing climate, the fossil record offers surprising reasons for hope. Paleontologist Evan Jevnikar, author of Surviving Climate and Chaos explores how dinosaurs endured millions of years of environmental upheaval, and what their story can teach us about shaping our own future.

Is it possible that some mythological creatures that ancient people spoke of were inspired by the fossil bones of extinct animals? Leah, one of our discord members, joins us to talk about an interesting theory that the mythological Griffin may have had it's origins in ancient gold miners discovering the fossil bones of a dinosaur called Protoceratops.   Here is the book referenced during the show: The First Fossil Hunters: https://a.co/d/0fc9kt0c And the Paleontology blog we read from:  Mark Witton's Blog: https://markwitton-com.blogspot.com/2016/04/why-protoceratops-almost-certainly.html You can find Leahs channels and website through the links below: Gaming YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@DorkyDodo Art YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@naturenerdart Nature YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@World-of-Dodo   Website: www.leahck.com Coloring Book: https://www.amazon.com/Paleozoic-Pals-Coloring-Book-Klehn/dp/B0GBCTLG3N/ref=sr_1_1?sr=8-1   You can support us through Patreon or Paypal by going to our support page on our website: https://www.brothersoftheserpent.com/support

It is a privilege to welcome paleontologist, science communicator, and Kansas City native Kallie Moore to The Jake's Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast.  Kallie has loved paleontology before she could even spell it. Growing up in Kansas City, she was surrounded by fossiliferous limestones and spent hours searching for marine invertebrate fossils. Her excitement about being the first human to see a fossil in millions of years established a deep interest in ancient life. Kallie announced her future career in paleontology as a third grader and even spent her recesses searching for fossils in the playground gravel.   She completed her undergraduate education at Emporia State University (ESU) with a Bachelor of Science in Earth Science and a Minor in Paleontology. In January 2008, Kallie Moore started her position as the Collections Manager of the University of Montana Paleontology Collection (UMPC). Throughout her more than 18 years of employment, Kallie supervised a major renovation of the collection facility, led hundreds of tours for school and community groups, organized public outreach events, facilitated paleontological research, and even consulted for Disney.  She also earned the nickname “Fossil Librarian.”   In 2017, Kallie Moore became a co-host and content consultant on PBS Eons. Kallie, along with her colleagues and paleontology experts Michelle Barboza-Ramirez, Blake de Pastino, and Gabriel-Philip Santos, has built a global audience of deep-time fans, amassing more than 757 million video views across YouTube and the PBS app, with 3.17 million YouTube subscribers and more than 1.1 million podcast downloads.   On Wednesday, July 29, PBS Eons will release its latest six-episode series, EONS: Life and Death on Pangea, on the PBS App and PBS.org, the EONS YouTube channel, and the PBS Television Stations. EONS: Life and Death on Pangea is set during the Permian Period hundreds of millions of years ago, and transports viewers to a world shaped by the supercontinent Pangea, extreme climate shifts, and ecosystems unlike anything seen today. From mega-monsoons and vast deserts to giant terrestrial animals, bizarre marine life, and massive volcanic eruptions, the series traces how Earth reached the brink of ecological collapse and how life ultimately recovered. The “Great Dying” remains one of the most dramatic examples of how environmental change can reshape life on Earth. On this episode of The Jake's Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast, Kallie Moore shared the EONS origin story, previewed EONS: Life and Death on Pangea, and talked about her children's book, Tales of Prehistoric Earth.

A recent study simulated the extreme temperatures and pressure of the Earth's interior by squeezing a sample between diamonds and heating it with a laser. In those simulations, researchers found that the Earth's core may contain vast amounts of hydrogen, locked away in alloys with iron and silicon. Planetary scientist Anat Shahar joins Host Ira Flatow to discuss what this tells us about how the planet formed, and where water on Earth may have come from.  Then, another kind of deep history: Paleontologist Arnaud Rebillard introduces Host Flora Lichtman to “regurgitalite”—fossilized vomit. Rebillard studied a sample of regurgitalite some 50 million years older than the dinosaurs. Guests:  Dr. Anat Shahar is a planetary scientist, and vice president for research at the Carnegie Institution for Science in Washington, D.C. Arnaud Rebillard is a PhD candidate in paleontology at the Natural History Museum of Berlin. Other episodes you may enjoy: Could Underground Hydrogen Reserves Put Clean Energy Within Reach?

Transcript:Da: Det var en frisk forårsdag, og det sprudlende lys strømmede ind gennem de store vinduer på Naturhistorisk Museum.En: It was a fresh spring day, and the radiant light streamed through the large windows at the Naturhistorisk Museum.Da: Turister og skoleklasser vrimlede ind og ud, tagende ind den fascinerende verden af fortidens vidundere.En: Tourists and school classes swarmed in and out, taking in the fascinating world of the wonders of the past.Da: Kasper, en ivrig amatørpaleontolog, kunne næsten ikke styre sin begejstring.En: Kasper, an eager amateur paleontologist, could hardly contain his excitement.Da: Han var der med sin storesøster, Mette, som altid forsøgte at holde Kasper i ørerne.En: He was there with his older sister, Mette, who always tried to keep Kasper in check.Da: De gik hen mod dinosaurudstillingen, hvor Søren, en grundig og omhyggelig museumsvejleder, ledte en gruppe af besøgende gennem historien om de enorme væsener.En: They headed towards the dinosaur exhibit, where Søren, a thorough and meticulous museum guide, was leading a group of visitors through the history of the enormous creatures.Da: Kasper kunne næsten ikke vente med at imponere Mette med alt det, han vidste om dinosaurer.En: Kasper could hardly wait to impress Mette with all he knew about dinosaurs.Da: Da de nåede hen til den store T-Rex-model, bemærkede Kasper en lille knop på kanten af udstillingen.En: As they reached the large T-Rex model, Kasper noticed a small button on the edge of the exhibit.Da: I sin iver trykkede han på den uden at tænke videre over det.En: In his eagerness, he pressed it without thinking further.Da: Pludselig rungede en stemme fra højttalerne og kom med forkerte udsagn om dinosaurernes levetid, som helt kolliderede med Sørens kyndige forklaringer.En: Suddenly, a voice boomed from the loudspeakers, announcing incorrect statements about the lifespan of dinosaurs, which completely collided with Søren's knowledgeable explanations.Da: Søren stoppede op, forundret og en smule irriteret over den misinformation, der nu blev annonceret for hele hallen.En: Søren stopped, puzzled and a bit irritated over the misinformation now being announced to the entire hall.Da: "Hvad sker der?"En: "What is happening?"Da: hviskede Mette, mens flere gæster begyndte at kaste utilfredse blikke mod Kasper.En: whispered Mette while several guests began casting discontented looks at Kasper.Da: Kasper's ansigt blev ildrødt af skam.En: Kasper's face turned crimson with shame.Da: Han vidste, han måtte slukke den forkerte lydvejledning, men han ville helst ikke tiltrække mere opmærksomhed.En: He knew he had to switch off the incorrect audio guide, but he preferred not to attract more attention.Da: Han gav Mette et væsentligt blik, der sagde, "hjælp!"En: He gave Mette a significant look that said, "help!"Da: Mette nikkede hurtigt, forstod situationens alvor og gik hen til Søren.En: Mette quickly nodded, understanding the gravity of the situation, and went over to Søren.Da: Hun pegede på et andet udstoppet dyr og spurgte ivrigt, "Undskyld, hvad er historien bag dette?"En: She pointed to another stuffed animal and eagerly asked,

Today's episode is about a toxin so powerful that a little smeared on the tip of a blowgun arrow is enough to silence every muscle in your body, including your diaphragm, stopping your breathing. How did a poison like this become a commonly used drug in modern medicine? We'll also go inside a Siberian prison cell where one of the most high-profile political prisoners on the planet collapses and dies. Was this a state-sponsored assassination using a poison from the rainforest? Listen to find out. Send us Fan Mail

Matt Kaplan is a science correspondent at the Economist and author of the new book I Told You So!: Scientists Who Were Ridiculed, Exiled, and Imprisoned for Being Right in which he shares the stories of researchers—from Darwin to Pasteur to modern Nobel Prize winners—who had to fight for their revolutionary ideas to be accepted. "But Paul…” you might say. "This sounds very interesting, but how does it fit into the conversations here on Reasonably Happy?” Good question! It's because I like contrarians and truth-seekers. I worry about prevailing power structures or narratives that restrict innovation, progress, free markets, and personal liberty, whether those obstacles be bureaucracy, fascism, religion, or political correctness. And perhaps by pondering these historical examples, we'll be less likely to repeat past mistakes. Over the last two decades, Matt has written about everything from paleontology and parasites to virology and viticulture.

Koalas with the bodies of lions. Elephants the size of your dog. Gigantic, 8-foot-tall sloths. These aren't creatures found in science fiction: They walked our planet a million years ago, during the Ice Age.That's the focus of the third season of the Apple TV series “Prehistoric Planet,” which uses the latest paleontology research and photorealistic CGI to reimagine the lives of ancient creatures. So far, the series has focused on dinosaurs, but now it's taking that same approach to the huge and strange-looking animals that roamed the tundras and deserts of the Ice Age.Joining Host Ira Flatow to thaw out the new research featured in the show are two of its scientific consultants, paleontologist Darren Naish and La Brea Tar Pits curator Emily Lindsey.Guests: Dr. Darren Naish is a paleozoologist and author based in Southampton, U.K.Dr. Emily Lindsey is a paleoecologist, curator, and excavation site director at the La Brea Tar Pits and Museum in Los Angeles, California. Transcript available at sciencefriday.com.

Catherine (Katie) Ulissey, wife and research partner of geologist Dr. Robert Schoch, found her early years shaped by dance. Conservatory trained, she turned professional at the age of 16, performing with classical ballet and contemporary dance companies, and later transitioning to musical theater, performing on Broadway in a number of productions including the original cast of Andrew Lloyd Webber's "The Phantom of the Opera". Her early childhood in Saudi Arabia sparked a lifelong fascination with ancient mysteries. Katie and Dr. Schoch met at a conference on the topic in 2007 and married on Easter Island in 2010. Together, they have co-authored works exploring ancient civilizations and their connections to cosmic events. Katie has contributed significantly to her husband's research, including connecting Easter Island's previously undeciphered rongorongo script to global “plasma petroglyphs” first identified by renowned physicist Dr. Anthony Peratt of Los Alamos National Laboratory. This discovery shifted her husband's research toward our Sun as the probable cause of the end of the last ice age. Related to this, she noticed giant Lichtenberg patterns emanating from beneath the Great and Second Pyramids on the Giza Plateau (dendritic patterns would be consistent with plasma ejected during massive solar outbursts). More recently, she has offered an hypothesis regarding the potential “Ancient and Intentional Burial of Ancient Egypt” (in similar fashion to Göbekli Tepe). She holds a B.A. from Emerson College (2002) and stays connected to her dance roots by teaching ballet at Wellesley College. She is the author of a children's book, “Adriana and the Ancient Mysteries: The Great Sphinx”, published in German, Italian, and English (revised edition).Dr. Robert M. Schoch, a full-time faculty member at the College of General Studies at Boston University since 1984, and a recipient of its Peyton Richter Award for interdisciplinary teaching, earned his Ph.D. in Geology and Geophysics at Yale University in 1983. He also holds an M.S. and M.Phil. in Geology and Geophysics from Yale, as well as degrees in Anthropology (B.A.) and Geology (B.S.) from George Washington University. In recognition of his research into ancient civilizations, Dr. Schoch was awarded (in 2014) the title of Honorary Professor of the Nikola Vaptsarov Naval Academy in Varna, Bulgaria. In 2017, the College of General Studies at Boston University named him Director of its Institute for the Study of the Origins of Civilization (ISOC).In the early 1990s, Dr. Schoch stunned the world with his revolutionary research that recast the date of the Great Sphinx of Egypt to a period thousands of years earlier than its standard attribution. In demonstrating that the leonine monument has been heavily eroded by water despite the fact that its location on the edge of the Sahara has endured hyper-arid climactic conditions for the past 5,000 years, Dr. Schoch revealed to the world that mankind's history is greater and older than previously believed. The subsequently excavated 12,000-year-old megalithic site of Göbekli Tepe in Turkey confirmed these assertions.Dr. Schoch's more recent research has focused on the cataclysmic events that ended Earth's last ice age, circa 9700 BCE, simultaneously decimating the high civilizations of the time. The overwhelming evidence drawn from varying disciplines, put forth in his book Forgotten Civilization: New Discoveries on the Solar-Induced Dark Age (2021), points to enormous solar outbursts as the cause.Dr. Schoch has been quoted extensively in the media for his work on ancient cultures and monuments around the globe. His research has been instrumental in spurring renewed attention to the interrelationships between geological and astronomical phenomena, natural catastrophes, and the early history of civilization. He has appeared on numerous radio and television shows and is featured in the Emmy-winning documentary The Mystery of the Sphinx, which first aired on NBC in 1993.The author and coauthor of books both technical and popular, Dr. Schoch's works include Phylogeny Reconstruction in Paleontology (1986), Stratigraphy: Principles and Methods (1989), Voices of the Rocks (1999), Voyages of the Pyramid Builders (2003), Pyramid Quest (2005), The Parapsychology Revolution (2008), Forgotten Civilization: The Role of Solar Outbursts in Our Past and Future (2012), Origins of the Sphinx (2017), and the 2nd edition (revised and expanded) of Forgotten Civilization, subtitled New Discoveries on the Solar-Induced Dark Age (2021), among others. Dr. Schoch is also the coauthor of an environmental science textbook used in universities across the United States, and he has contributed to numerous magazines, journals, and reviews on geology, ancient civilizations, parapsychology, and other topics. His works have been translated into a number of languages and distributed around the world.Besides his academic and scholarly studies, Dr. Schoch is an active environmental advocate who stresses a pragmatic, hands-on approach. In this connection, he helped found a local community land trust devoted to protecting land from harmful development, serving on its Board of Directors for many years. And despite acknowledging that our Sun is a major driver of climate on the planet, Dr. Schoch takes an active part in “green” politics; for over a decade he served as an elected member of his local city council.In 1993, an extinct mammal genus was named Schochia in honor of Dr. Schoch's paleontological contributions.It was at the instigation of the late John Anthony West (1932—2018) that Dr. Schoch first began studying the age of the Sphinx. The chamber beneath the Sphinx's paw, which Dr. Schoch, working with Dr. Thomas Dobecki, discovered in the early 1990s and which many people believe is an ancient archive or "Hall of Records" remains unexplored.In 2010 (and grateful to the dignitaries who made it possible), Dr. Schoch married former ballet and Broadway dancer Catherine Ulissey in both civil and traditional Rapanui ceremonies on Easter Island.Dr. Schoch's website is www.robertschoch.com.- - - - -Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/earth-ancients--2790919/support.

One of the biggest debates in the dinosaur world is what was happening right before they went extinct. Were they already declining, or would they have thrived if not for the asteroid? Two recent studies shed some light on this question: one that analyzes a trove of fossils from New Mexico and suggests there was more diversity in the Americas than previously thought, and another that reanalyzes a long-debated juvenile T. rex fossil and finds it's likely a separate, smaller species.Host Ira Flatow is joined by authors on those separate studies, paleontologists Steve Brusatte and Lindsay Zanno.Guests: Dr. Lindsay Zanno is division head of paleontology at the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences in Raleigh, NC.Dr. Steve Brusatte is a paleontologist at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland.Transcripts for each episode are available within 1-3 days at sciencefriday.com.

Sift through your memories and excavate an image of a fossil. Maybe you're picturing dinosaur bones, the imprint of an ammonite, or the fronds of a fern etched into stone. But there's a whole other category of fossilized remains that can tell us about life way before T. rexes, or even twigs, existed on this planet. That's fossilized evidence of microbes.Microbiologist Paula Welander uses these ancient remains to understand how life began on Earth. She joined Host Flora Lichtman for our live show at the Fox Theater in Redwood City, California, to talk about how her work may help us find life elsewhere in the universe.Guest: Dr. Paula Welander is a professor of Earth system science at Stanford University.Transcripts for each episode are available within 1-3 days at sciencefriday.com.  Subscribe to this podcast.
