Podcasts about tyrannosaurus rex

I dagens avsnitt av Morronrock snackar Jonas, Hasse och Linda om att det inte blir några jordgubbar till midsommar, klarar svenska landslaget av värmen och en väska i Tyrannosaurus Rex skinn som säljs på auktion. Såklart är det VM-feber och vi får in vår expert Jesper Hussfelt som tippar början av VM-perioden. Idag fortsätter lyssnarfrågan om man någon gång hejat på en kändis som man först inte kände igen...?? Hur nu det kan gå till...

This documentary sleep story is about the history of dinosaurs: What were they? When did they appear? How did they rule the Earth's continents for 150 million years? What happened to them? In this story I tell you about dinosaurs in general, various famous groups such as Brachiosaurus, Stegosaurus, Allosaurus, Triceratops, Tyrannosaurus, and more! I also tell you about paleontology, the study of fossils, cladistics, and various periods: Triassic, Jurassic, Cretaceous and Holocene.

Dinosaur Day, the “Black Knight” dinosaur fossils found in Texas, Tyrannosaurus rex, mowing, Riley's weekend at her brother and future sister-in-law's bachelor and bachelorette trip, interesting facts — plus the latest news and sports. 

Trong nhiều năm, các nhà cổ sinh vật học đã cố gắng tìm hiểu lý do tại sao, những loài khủng long như T-Rex viết tắt của ‘Tyrannosaurus rex' lại có cánh tay nhỏ xíu, chỉ bằng một phần nhỏ kích thước cơ thể của chúng. Giờ đây một bước đột phá đang đến gần, với một nghiên cứu mới của các nhà khoa học cho thấy, điều đó có liên quan nhiều hơn đến phần đầu chắc khỏe của loài khủng long này.

Pendant des décennies, les scientifiques se sont moqués des minuscules bras du Tyrannosaurus rex. Comment un prédateur de près de 12 mètres de long, doté d'une morsure terrifiante, pouvait-il avoir des bras aussi ridiculement petits ? On a proposé toutes sortes d'explications : ils servaient à se relever, à tenir un partenaire pendant l'accouplement ou encore à éviter d'être mordus par d'autres T. rex pendant les repas. Mais une nouvelle étude menée par des chercheurs de University College London et de l'University of Cambridge apporte une réponse bien plus convaincante. Les chercheurs ont étudié 82 espèces de dinosaures carnivores appelés théropodes, le groupe auquel appartenait le T. rex. Leur découverte est surprenante : les petits bras ne seraient pas simplement une conséquence du gigantisme du dinosaure. Ils seraient directement liés à l'évolution… de sa tête.En analysant les fossiles, les scientifiques ont remarqué une forte corrélation entre deux caractéristiques : plus un dinosaure possédait un crâne massif et une mâchoire puissante, plus ses bras avaient tendance à rétrécir. Autrement dit, chez certains grands prédateurs, la tête serait progressivement devenue l'arme principale, rendant les bras de moins en moins utiles. Le T. rex représente l'exemple ultime de cette évolution. Son crâne était incroyablement robuste, capable de produire l'une des morsures les plus puissantes de toute l'histoire animale. Ses dents, longues comme des bananes dentelées, pouvaient broyer des os. Face à une telle machine de guerre, les bras perdaient peu à peu leur importance.Selon les chercheurs, cette transformation serait liée à l'apparition de proies gigantesques, comme les énormes dinosaures herbivores à long cou appelés sauropodes. Essayer d'attraper un animal de plusieurs dizaines de tonnes avec des griffes devenait peu pratique. Il était beaucoup plus efficace de mordre violemment et de maintenir la proie avec la mâchoire. Les scientifiques parlent même d'un phénomène de “use it or lose it” : “utilise-le ou perds-le”. En évolution, un organe qui devient moins utile peut progressivement diminuer au fil des générations. Les bras du T. rex auraient donc rétréci parce qu'ils n'étaient plus essentiels à la chasse.Cela ne veut pas dire qu'ils étaient totalement inutiles. Les bras du T. rex restaient étonnamment musclés et puissants pour leur taille. Mais ils n'étaient plus l'outil principal du prédateur.Finalement, les petits bras du T. rex racontent une grande histoire d'évolution : celle d'un animal dont la tête est devenue si redoutable qu'elle a littéralement remplacé ses membres antérieurs.

Why was the Ebola outbreak able to spread so quickly? We speak to the co-chair of the Independent Panel for Pandemic Preparedness and Response about Ebola testing shortfalls in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Also on the programme: we examine the relationship between Russia and China as Vladimir Putin fails to reach a gas pipeline deal during a visit to Beijing. Plus, we hear why the Tyrannosaurus Rex had such short arms.(Picture: A health worker takes the temperature of an M23 rebel in Goma, North Kivu province of the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Der Tyrannosaurus Rex war ein riesiger Dino mit scharfen Zähnen - und Mini-Ärmchen. Wieso hatte der so kurze Arme? Die MausKlasse aus Rommerskirchen erzählt es euch. Von Lisa Rauschenberger.

Robert J. Sawyer returns to the show to discuss 'The Quintaglio Ascension', a trilogy composed of ‘Far-Seer', ‘Fossil Hunter' and ‘Foreigner'.  We talk about his early writing in the 90's, which indulged his love and passion for paleontology. This trilogy recapitulates the history of science with the stories of Galileo, Darwin and Freud.  Each of these figures delivered blows to the narcissistic ego, which lends high stakes to a thought experiment about how different species may be well- or ill-suited to become intelligent and form a technological civilization - if dinosaurs were given the opportunity to evolve longer.  We talk about the received wisdom that a cometary impact was the primary cause of the dinosaur extinction - which may not be as accurate as we once thought!  We discuss changes in our understanding of Stegosaurus and Tyrannosaurus. Rob tells us about Dale Russell and his hypothetical Humanoid Dinosauroids, based on Troodon. Rob makes paleontology into a playground for speculative exobiology.Send us a messageEmail:  thescienceinthefiction@gmail.comFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/743522660965257/

Max Pearson presents a collection of the week's Witness History interviews from the BBC World Service.We start with the broadcaster and naturalist, Sir David Attenborough.

I film, musik og kærlighedshistorier har ekskæresten traditionelt været fjenden: den man skriver hadesange om, stalker på Instagram eller prøver at glemme hurtigst muligt. Men lige nu lyder der nye toner fra ungdomskulturen. I programmer som Bachelorette på TV2 og i radioen på P3 bliver ekskærester pludselig omtalt som bedste venner. Er der ved at ske et skifte i vores syn på kærlighedsbud? Det undersøger Ane Cortzen og Gustav Hagild i ugens Første række. Vi kommer også forbi 3 muligvis lige vigtige karakterer: Peter Plys, Tyrannosaurus Rex og Tucker Carlson. Ugens gæst er Nynne Bjerre Christensen.

Das ist eine Geschichte über Dinosaurier. Aber warum führt dann ein Huhn durch diese Geschichte und nicht ein Dinosaurier? Na ja, das Huhn ist ein Dino. Hühner sind nach einer Studie der Harvarduniversität Nachfahren des Tyrannosaurus Rex. Und dieser Huhn-Dino weiß alles über die anderen Dinosaurier, seine Verwandten. Von Guido van Genechten.

In this episode, Stephen Bissette and Chris Stevens join us to discuss the long-awaited return of Tyrant, Bissette's deeply personal, unfinished dinosaur epic from the 1990s, and the journey to finally bring it back through a new Kickstarter campaign. The conversation explores how Tyrant—a raw, almost documentary-style story following a Tyrannosaurus Rex's struggle to survive—became a cult favorite despite its original short run and lack of commercial success, as well as why Bissette had long resisted revisiting the project until renewed fan interest and Stevens' persistence convinced him the time was right. They dive into the painstaking process behind the deluxe editions, including high-end art reproduction from original pages and the inclusion of long-lost material, framing the project as both a restoration and a definitive presentation of a “lost masterpiece.” To learn more or support the project, check out the Tyrant Deluxe Editions Kickstarter here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/comicslighthouse/bissette-tyrant-deluxe-editions.

El dinosaurio carnívoro más famoso es, sin ninguna duda, Tyrannosaurus rex. Menos conocido es que Tyrannosaurus no es el carnívoro más grande que ha pisado la tierra: ese honor le corresponde a Spinosaurus, que vivió en África a mediados del Cretácico, hace ahora 100 millones de años. Spinosaurus era un animal peculiar: su cuerpo era alargado en lugar de voluminoso, y su cabeza, también alargada, se parecía a la de un cocodrilo moderno. Es posible que estas adaptaciones tuvieran que ver con su técnica de caza, porque Spinosaurus se alimentaba fundamentalmente de peces: era un superespecialista que creció hasta ser el mayor carnívoro terrestre de la historia sólo a base de pescado. En el programa de hoy os contamos la historia de esta especie, cuyos primeros fósiles fueron destruidos en el bombardeo que Múnich al final de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, y os contamos que este año se ha descubierto una segunda especie en yacimientos en el desierto de Níger. Para explicárnoslo tenemos a uno de los descubridores: Francesc Gascó, que es paleontólogo, conservador del Museo de Benagéber y también divulgador científico en su canal de Youtube El Pakozoico. Si lo que contamos en este episodio os sabe a poco os recomiendo el vídeo, mucho más detallado, que Paco ha publicado en su canal: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-68ICJY2g7w Si queréis leer el artículo científico en que se describe la nueva especie, se trata de "Scimitar-crested Spinosaurus species from the Sahara caps stepwise spinosaurid radiation", de Paul C. Sereno et al. Lo tenéis aquí: https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.adx5486 También podéis aprender más sobre dinosaurios en los episodios s06e14, s02e38 y s01e20 (en el que el invitado es también Paco Gascó). En nuestro pódcast hermano, La Brújula de la Ciencia, también tenemos algunos episodios dedicados a los dinosaurios: buscad los números s04e32, s06e18, s03e11, s09e26 y s11e42. Por último, no os perdáis (en este orden) el capítulo s08e26 de La Brújula de la Ciencia y el s04e14 de Aparici en Órbita; no os dejarán indiferentes.

La ciencia y los dinosaurios se cuelan en el estudio con la visita de Alberto Aparici, que llega con sorpresa incluida: un invitado muy especial del mundo de la paleontología. Antes de desvelar su identidad, la conversación con Begoña Gómez y Jorge Abad viaja hasta la Segunda Guerra Mundial para recordar un episodio poco conocido: el bombardeo aliado sobre Múnich en 1944 que destruyó fósiles únicos de un gigantesco dinosaurio hallado décadas antes en Egipto. Entre ellos estaba el espectacular Spinosaurus aegyptiacus, un depredador aún mayor que el Tyrannosaurus rex y caracterizado por la enorme "vela" que sobresalía de su espalda.A pesar de aquella pérdida para la ciencia, nuevos hallazgos en el norte de África permitieron recuperar parte de la historia de estos animales prehistóricos y seguir ampliando el conocimiento sobre ellos.

2. David K. Randall, *The Monster's Bones: The Discovery of T-Rex and How It Shook Our World*. In 1902, Barnum Brown tracked a lead from a photograph of a triceratops skull to Jordan, Montana. Though the specific skull was disappointing, Brown recognized the potential of the remote Hell Creek region. Utilizing his unique skill for reading rock colors, he identified Sheba Mountain as a likely site for fossilization. He used dynamite to reveal a carnivorous dinosaur that had never been described before: the Tyrannosaurus Rex. Brown's discovery was a "jackpot" for the American Museum, even though the process of transporting and mounting the heavy specimen would take years to complete. (2)Butte, MT

When observing comic books, the miracles come in big or small ways. This week on the podcast, we're discussing a resurrection we previously thought unimaginable. Stephen R Bissette, who gained legendary status working on titles like Saga of the Swamp Thing, crafted his masterpiece in the mid-nineties. Tyrant was meant to run fifty issues or more, but only four saw print before disaster struck the industry, and Bissette pulled up stakes, leaving comics to focus on family and a more financially stable situation. We've spent years searching for Tyrant in the dollar bins, picking up an issue here and there. As much as we love Bissette's work on Swamp Thing, Tyrant represents the artist at his purest, most thematically forward. Even at four issues, Tyrant is a masterpiece, expressing the agony and beauty of life, as we follow a Tyrannosaurus Rex from conception to birth. It's easy to mourn the story we did not get, but we must also celebrate the story we did. It is enough, and thankfully, we're not the only ones who thought so. Chris Stevens, of the newly formed Lighthouse Press, convinced Bissette that now was the time to re-release Tyrant in both a Complete Edition and a Deluxe Artist Edition. Stevens also hired cartoonist Jim Rugg (who recently shot a Stacks video with us) to oversee the production of these new additions. Together, they'll hopefully bring a massive new readership to Tyrant and give this lost masterpiece the recognition it never got. We're extremely happy to have Stephen R Bissette, Jim Rugg, and Chris Stevens on the podcast this week. Together, we place Tyrant in the context of its creation and explore why now is the time for its resurrection. We discuss the themes Bissette excavates in Tyrant and where the story was going before he had to pull the plug. We also discuss the heartbreak of pulling the plug and all the humanity within and without its pages. The 90s comic book scene. You had to be there. The Image Revolution. Pouches. Rob Liefeld and Spike Lee making Levi's commercials together. The Death of Superman was going to pay Brad's way into college somehow. The distribution implosion. The speculator flight. Devastation. Apocalypse. Something our earthbound dinosaurs also understood quite well. Please recognize the miracle that is Tyrant's resurrection by visiting the Lighthouse Press Kickstarter page and signing up for notification of its official launch.

The gang talk about two papers about extraordinary dinosaur fossils and the unique information that can be gleaned from them. The first paper looks at fossil skin data on a Cretaceous iguandodontian, and the second paper uses an exceptionally complete specimen to demonstrate the reality of Nanotyrannus. Meanwhile, James classifies, Amanda imagines T-rex, and Curt brings a unique energy.   Up-Goer Five (Curt Edition): The friends look at two papers about big angry animals that everyone loves to talk about. The first paper is about the skin of one of these big angry animals. This skin has weird bits on it that are not like the weird bits we see in a lot of other animals that are close to these big angry animals. These bits do not look like the bits that would be used to stay warm or to move into the air. These bits look like they might hurt. The second paper looks at a lot of stuff from one big angry animal that has been said by people in the past is just a young one of another big angry animal. The paper looks at the parts of this animal, how this animal grew, and a lot of other things to show that, no, this animal is not this other animal. This animal is its own type of animal.   References: Huang, Jiandong, et al. "Cellular-level preservation of cutaneous spikes in an Early Cretaceous iguanodontian dinosaur."

In this episode of Casual Chats, Arun and Patricia discuss about the 1993 animated film We're Back: A Dinosaur's Story based on the 1987 book by the same name by Hudson Talbott. Four dinosaurs consisting of a Tyrannosaurus Rex named Rex, a Pterodactyl named Elsa, a Triceratops named Woog, and an Apatosaurus named Dweeb were fed a cereal called Brain Grain by Captain Neweyes and his alien companion Vorb to make them smart. They're tasked on heading to New York City around the Middle Future to meet up with Dr. Bleeb, the main curator of The Museum of Natural History. The dinosaurs meet up with a boy named Louie who ran away to join the circus and a girl named Cecilia who is alone due to her parents not being around. When Louie and Cecelia reaches the circus, they later learned that it's run by Captain Neweyes' brother Professor Screweyes whose main goal is to scare people. When the film premiered in theaters, it made $9.3 million dollars out of a $20 million dollar budget with mixed to negative reviews. Patricia covered this film during her lookback of the Amblimation trilogy while Arun hasn't seen the film since he was a kid. What did they think of the film?

OPENING: THE RANI INTRODUCTION: John: "So here we are again talking The Mark of the Rani, which now for you, Timey Wimey, you've already met the Rani, but this is the Rani 1.0, played by Kate O'Mara, who American audiences might remember appeared on the television show Dynasty." JIM'S INITIAL REACTION: "It is really interesting. I'm glad you brought that up, because it had occurred to me that I had already met the character and was somewhat familiar with her. At least I knew the basic setup because we had talked when we watched her in the Ncuti story." THE OVERALL VERDICT: "Otherwise, in general, I enjoyed this story. And Kate O'Mara - good. And yet in a different way than the actress in current days." PRODUCTION DETAILS: Production Code: 6X Air Dates: February 2-9, 1985 Writers: Pip and Jane Baker (first outing for Doctor Who - they'll be back next season and Sylvester McCoy's first season with another Rani story) Director: Sarah Hellings (the last female director for Classic Doctor Who) THE MUSIC John: "One of the things - I've said this, this is one of my favorite episodes - but one thing that I love about it, the music stands out in this one compared to a lot of other productions." Jim: "Interesting that you say that, because I've said it many times before, I don't always notice music, it doesn't always hit me on a conscious level. I noticed it and made a note. It did stand out to me in this story." ANTHONY AINLEY'S DISCONTENT: John: "I mentioned the appearance of the Master. And Anthony Ainley, Colin Baker, and Nicola Bryant all say on the Blu-ray set that Ainley was not happy about sharing the limelight. RATINGS: Episode 1: 6.3 million Episode 2: 7.3 million JIM'S FORMAT REVELATION: "I'm gonna say it right now. While watching this, I finally, finally decided fully - I don't care for this setup. I don't care for the two parts at 45 minutes each." PART ONE SYNOPSIS: Doctor and Peri arrive in the early 19th-century mining village of Killingworth to investigate time distortion. They witness local miners attack a deliveryman and smash the machinery he was carrying, appearing as Luddites to locals. The Doctor notices one rampaging miner has a strange red mark on his neck. He meets Lord Ravensworth, a local landowner who saves the Doctor when attacked by three Luddites. He's deeply concerned about violent outbreaks among normally passive men. Culprit is the Rani, a Time Lord chemist posing as old woman running local bathhouse. She's been extracting neurochemicals from miners that enable sleep, which causes red marks on their necks. She needs these chemicals for her planet, Miasimia Goria, where her experiments have left inhabitants unable to rest and have now rebelled. Master arrives having visited her planet and forces an uneasy partnership by stealing some of her precious brain fluid to ensure cooperation. Doctor disguises himself as a miner and enters the bathhouse. Rani traps him, but Master convinces her to let him handle the Time Lord. He convinces Luddites to push Doctor's TARDIS down the mine shaft with the Doctor to follow. JIM'S LIGHTNING ROUND: "I want to try something different here. Bear with me. Lightning round of comments. You ready? Let's see this." THE LIST: Almost artistic opening shots plus nice music She is wearing - the Doctor says the Daleks have time machines Master Lots of handheld camera work Peri's more capable The Master changed time by eliminating a man Vulgarly colored coat The Master and Rani have a history Rani's jabs at the Master - smiley face Doctor's imitations of Peri - smiley face No birds Doctor recognizes the Rani but she didn't recognize him American War of Independence The Rani's a vegan Brains as good as anyone's - No comment, Doctor Shades of Bruce Wayne   THE OPENING SEQUENCE: Jim: "Let's go right back to the beginning - that opening series of shots to set up the village, the music lining, and then into the bathhouse. Almost artistic. It was filmed so nicely, with nothing weird going on. And then they go into the bathhouse, and it gets weird at that point. But accompanied by very nice music." The Impact: "Beautiful work. I was never so taken by opening shots. They were almost poetic in a way. And she did all that - that was a small area, and she made it look so much bigger."   PART TWO SYNOPSIS: Doctor is saved by inventor George Stephenson and returns with Peri to Lord Ravensworth's estate, where Stephenson has planned a meeting of scientific and engineering geniuses. The Doctor worries about gathering under the current circumstances, but the Master is desperate for it to proceed. He wants to enlist the finest minds of the Industrial Revolution to accelerate Earth's development and use the planet as a power base. Master uses mind control on Stephenson's assistant Luke Ward, ordering him to kill anyone who tries to prevent meeting. Master strikes a deal with Rani - she can return to Earth at any time to harvest brain fluid if she helps him achieve his goal. Doctor sneaks into Rani's TARDIS at the bathhouse, discovering jars of preserved dinosaur embryos. Rani summons her ship to the old mine workings, with the doctor still hiding inside, and he overhears their plans. Peri uses her botanical knowledge to make a sleeping draft for afflicted miners, searching for herbs amid Rani's landmines. Doctor confronts Master and Rani at the edge of the dell and witnesses Luke step on a mine that transforms him into a tree. Using Master's own tissue compression eliminator, Doctor takes them prisoner, but Rani tricks Peri and two escape. However, the Doctor has sabotaged Rani's TARDIS navigational system. The ship spins out of control, and under destabilized conditions, the jar holding the Tyrannosaurus Rex embryo falls and breaks, causing the creature to grow due to time spillage. Doctor and Peri swap a vial of brain fluid with Ravensworth, who will administer it to afflicted miners. They depart in the TARDIS before the astonished eyes of the scientist and his financier. THE LANDMINE QUESTION: Jim: "What is it about this show and landmines?" THE REMOTE CONTROL: Jim: "The thing about that - she has solved the problem of being able to remote control a TARDIS. Does that come into play going forward?" John: "Yes. There is another Time Lord in Classic Who coming up who also has the ability to do that." Jim: "That's cool." THE MORALITY DEBATE: John: "I think she's not evil. She's amoral." THE INVITATION: Jim: "So, everybody out there listening, if you want to chime in, is the Rani evil or just amoral? We'd love to hear from you." NEXT TIME: Monday (Patreon): More Voyager Part 4, some Doctor Who music, and some Memory TARDIS Friday (Patreon) then Saturday (Main Feed): THE TWO DOCTORS - a three-part story Jim: "Let's see how well things hold up there if I've got to sit through three 45-minute episodes. Oh my word. It does have Patrick Troughton though." John: "And you always seem to like Patrick Troughton better when he's tempered by the other ones." THE SIGN-OFF: "And now you know what your co-hosts do in the Doctor's Beard TARDIS - argue, mainly!" Support at patreon.com/thedoctorsbeardpodcast for $3/month! Subscribe on all platforms.

The disco era of the Seventies is characterized by a danceable "four-on-the-floor" beat, lush orchestration, synthesizers, and glamorous fashion, ultimately exploding into mainstream pop culture with hits, iconic clubs like Studio 54, and films like Saturday Night Fever, before fading by 1980. Filmed in 1977, Saturday Night Fever was a critical and commercial success, helping to popularize disco around the world. The soundtrack, featuring songs from the Bee Gees, has sold over 40 million copies worldwide, making it one of the best-selling albums and the second-biggest-selling soundtrack of all time. I don’t know about you but I still like dancing to Stayin’ Alive, Jive Talkin, and More than a Woman. By all accounts, so does my lunch guest Alyssa Lundy, Founder & CEO of 5 to 9 Dance Club, a sober, early-evening dance club for women only. Turning coffee shops into Miami-themed dance floors, 5 to 9 Dance Club transforms each venue into a full, nightclub experience with lighting, screens, DJ production, and beach décor. Every event also includes access to mental health professionals, business resources, and women-focused non-profits, as well as a welcome committee to ensure no one feels excluded. The most famous dinosaur, Barney, an anthropomorphic purple Tyrannosaurus rex, didn’t come onto the scene until 1992 but was as ubiquitous on television and in toy stores for three decades as the disco ball was on dance floors in the Seventies and Eighties. Beloved by school children, Barney, of Barney & Friends, conveyed educational messages through songs and small dance routines with a friendly, huggable and optimistic attitude. Dinosaurs dominated Earth for over 165 million years, and still dominate the imagination of scientists and children alike today. Martin Wilmott, owner of The Dinosaur Experience, has seen for himself both the wonder and delight children have for dinosaurs. A Londoner, Martin first came to Louisiana in 2009 for a Saints game. In 2013, he moved to Baton Rouge after marrying his wife, a Louisiana native. Martin began noticing children’s love for dinosaur themes while hosting water-slide and bounce house parties. Armed with his first dinosaur costume purchased from a specialty store in England, Martin began performing. The business exploded during COVID when he and his wife created a drive-around dinosaur show to cheer up children, growing his Facebook page from 400 followers to 10,000 in one month. Today, Martin is one of only a handful of dinosaur entertainers in the U.S., and the only one in Louisiana. He performs at birthday parties, school events, corporate events, and museums. He’s especially popular at libraries across multiple states. What’s striking about both of Alyssa and Martin is neither of them set out to “disrupt an industry.” They weren’t trying to invent trends. They were trying to solve human problems—loneliness, disconnection, stress, isolation—with experiences that feel safe, playful, and immersive. Alyssa has built a space where women don’t have to be impressive—they just have to show up. Martin has built a world where adults remember what it feels like to be amazed. And what I think they both remind us is that joy isn’t decorative. It’s functional. It heals. It rebuilds. It gives people permission to breathe. So whether it’s through dancing or dinosaurs, what Martin and Alyssa are really offering is the same thing: a moment where people feel seen, lighter, and less alone. And in today’s world, that’s not entertainment—that’s infrastructure. Out to Lunch is recorded live over lunch at Mansurs on the Boulevard.

Clint Boyd, North Dakota's State Paleontologist, has found a new Tyrannosaurus rex skeleton at a dig site in southwest North Dakota. Boyd said to his knowledge this is the third partial T. rex skeleton found in North Dakota. And, notes that this is one of his biggest finds. But, the hope is that there is much more as they start digging in that area. All the bones found were at surface level. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Torvosaurus was a large theropod that roamed much of North America and Europe. Could this dinosaur have been larger than Tyrannosaurus rex? Listen to the podcast and find out. Support the show

In this mind-bending episode, I zoomed with authors M.E. Ellington and Steven Stiefel to explore their provocative story that begins with a routine paleontological dig—and ends with a challenge to everything we think we know about time, science, and human history. When the bones of a juvenile Tyrannosaurus rex are unearthed alongside modern human skeletons and a piece of an aircraft—stripped of all identifying marks—the scientific community is thrown into chaos. Ellington and Stiefel take us behind the scenes of their genre-defying narrative, where paleontologists and crash investigators must confront the limits of their disciplines and the uncomfortable possibility that their academic foundations may be built on sand. As personal agendas clash and professional reputations hang in the balance, the mystery deepens: What really happened more than 65 million years ago?

Spirit Realm: Angels Demons, Spirits and the Sovereignty of God (Foreword by Jordan Maxwell) https://amzn.to/31g9ydRJordan Maxwell, the godfather of western esoterics has been bringing information to the limelight about these topics for years and has since been a forerunner in UFOlogy and the study of aliens. This is most definitely because Jordan Maxwell himself has had encounters with extraterrestrial aliens and UFOs in the past. He has shared some of these stories on podcasts and interviews with Kerry Cassidy of Project Camelot. To many, Jordans stories are far fetched and downright unbelievable but one thing they do bring with them is fascination. This fascination is then backed up with Bible doctrines and texts that talk about humans having interactions with angelic beings and objects that sound eerily like UFO ships. These stories are spread wide throughout the Bible from Genesis to Revelation. Stories about fire traveling through the skies at night giving protection to the Israelites and then appearing as a cloud by day speaking to and guiding them through the desert. There are so many obscure passages in the Bible that speak about what sounds to be a lot like aliens and UFOs. We can also go into other ancient texts such as the Vedas, The Book of Enki, The Bhagavad Gita and so on and find similar stories of the gods coming down to communicate with man. This has given Jordan Maxwell's work and stories a frame of reference when winning over the minds of those who study the ancient scriptures. There was one story that Jordan told that many people call him on and with this story he loses all credibility for many people. Jordan Maxwell tells a story about an experience that he had when he was a young boy. He tells of how he and his dog trapped a baby T-Rex in the corner of his yard and his dog was barking fiercely at the baby dinosaur. Yes, you read that right, a baby Tyrannosaurus Rex is what Jordan said that they had captured in his yard. Is this just a tall tale or is it ture? One thing for sure is that Jordan Maxwell has some great stories. Heck, have you ever heard the tales of the Thunderbirds that people report seeing? For those who study cryptozoology they are well aware of these Terrordactyl type creatures with reported wingspans of 10 to 15 feet wide.

The biggest news in palaeontology this year dropped just in time for us to miss it with last month's episode but we're giving it the full hour this time. The idea that there's a miniature tyrannosaur running around in the Late Cretaceous alongside Tyrannosaurus has long been a contentious one, with most palaeontologists favouring the interpretation that the specimens represented juvenile rexes. But a huge new paper presents a brand-new specimen that shows various unique features and importantly, is an adult animal while still small. Join Dave and Iszi into a deep dive on the history of these ideas ad why people are switching sides to support the idea that Nanotyrannus is real. One of the better articles from the media storm:  Nanotyrannus isn't a 'mini T. Rex' after all — it's a new species, 'dueling dinosaurs' fossil reveals | Live Science: https://www.livescience.com/animals/dinosaurs/i-was-wrong-dinosaur-scientists-agree-that-small-tyrannosaur-nanotyrannus-was-real-pivotal-new-study-finds Please support the podcast and submit questions for our end of year megasode: https://www.patreon.com/terriblelizards

For decades, paleontologists have argued over one question: Was Nanotyrannus a real dinosaur—or just a young Tyrannosaurus rex? In this episode, we settle the debate once and for all.Join us as we present the definitive evidence confirming that Nanotyrannus lethaeus was a distinct tyrannosaur species.
