Podcast appearances and mentions of William Buckland

This session of the radio show shares my conversation with Jon Mitchell, composer of the Chamber opera, Mary Anning, Fossil Hunter. Timothy Ayres-Kerr, joins us for the discussion on the origin of this opera and its scheduled performance in Grafton on April 5. Tim will play the role of William Buckland. We find out that he did not prepare for this by eating “mice on toast.” He does share some vocal insights on this role, his preparation and the history of opera in America in the course of our conversation.We met to record this conversation in the Franklin TV & Radio studios on Tuesday, March 11, 2025.

*DISCLAIMER* This week's episode is sure to ruffle some feathers. This is your ONLY reminder to be civil in the comments section. Respect other's beliefs, even if they condradict your own. :) Welcome back to the show! This week, we're diving into an eye-opening journey through the fascinating history of dinosaur discoveries and their surprising appearances in ancient art to ask one simple question: Did humans and dinosaurs co-exist? We delve into the origins of how dinosaurs were first identified, starting with Robert Plot's 1677 misidentification of a giant human bone to William Buckland's groundbreaking 1824 description of Megalosaurus. We trace the evolution of paleontology, highlighting key figures like Richard Owen, who coined the term "dinosaur" in 1842, and Gideon Mantell, who discovered Iguanodon, revolutionizing our understanding of these prehistoric giants. But that's not all! We'll explore astonishing depictions of dinosaur-like creatures in ancient art long before their "official" discovery. From Pieter Bruegel the Elder's 1562 painting "The Suicide of Saul" showing what seems to be humans riding sauropods, to Mesopotamian cylinder seals and the intriguing dinosaur engravings on Bishop Bell's tomb brass from the 15th century, the evidence is compelling. We'll also investigate the Narmer Palette of ancient Egypt and the mysterious Stegosaurus carving at Cambodia's Ta Prohm temple, challenging conventional scientific narratives. Join us as we unravel these historical puzzles and speculate on the coexistence of humans and dinosaurs. Whether you're a skeptic or a believer, this episode promises to ignite your curiosity and provoke thought. Don't miss out on this deep dive into the unknown, where history, science, and mythology intersect in surprising ways. --- TIME STAMPS: SPOTIFY 0:00 - Sound Board Check 1:14 - Did Humans and Dinosaurs Co-Exist?

In 1824, 200 years ago, Megalosaurus was the first dinosaur to ever be described in a scientific paper. William Buckland studied fossils from Stonesfield in Oxfordshire in order to describe the animal. In this episode, Victoria Gill visits palaeontologist Dr Emma Nicholls at the Oxford University Museum of Natural History, who shows her those very fossils that launched the new science of palaeontology. Danielle Czerkaszyn then opens the archives to reveal the scientific illustrations of Megalosaurus by Mary Morland, which helped shape Buckland's description.But this was just the beginning. Over the coming decades, remains kept being discovered and scientists were gripped with dinosaur mania, racing to find species. Now, in 2024, we're finding new dinosaurs all the time. Victoria travels to the University of Edinburgh to meet Professor Steve Brusatte and Dr Tom Challands as they start extracting a dinosaur bone from a piece of Jurassic rock - could this be a new species? Together, they reflect on how palaeontology has changed over the last 200 years and ponder the ongoing mysteries of these charismatic animals.Presenter: Victoria Gill Producers: Alice Lipscombe-Southwell and Hannah Robins Production Co-ordinator: Jana Bennett-Holesworth  Editor: Martin Smith

It is the 200th anniversary of the first dinosaur discovery, so Jeff and Anthony dig into the story of finding fossils and naming them. It leads them to the wild story of William Buckland, the man who coined the term Megalosaurus, in 1824. If you think you know dinosaurs, you may be shocked by how they entered popular culture. For bonus content, check out our Patreon! patreon.com/wehaveconcernsHey!

El 20 de febrero de 1824 el naturalista William Buckland presentó ante la Sociedad Geológica de Londres unos fósiles muy notables: correspondían a lo que él interpretaba como un reptil de gigantescas proporciones, de más de 20 metros. Los llamó, apropiadamente, Megalosaurus: el "gran reptil". Con este anuncio empezó oficialmente la era de los dinosaurios, o mejor dicho: del estudio de los dinosaurios. Megalosaurus es el primer dinosaurio descrito por la ciencia, y el inicio de un camino que empieza con la idea de que en el pasado hubo reptiles gigantes caminando por la Tierra y que termina en la actualidad, cuando sabemos que muchos de esos "reptiles" se parecían mucho más a pájaros que a lagartos y que fueron los dominadores del planeta durante más de 150 millones de años. Hoy, para celebrar el bicentenario de este primer dinosaurio hacemos un repaso a la historia de los dinosaurios, o mejor dicho: a *nuestra* historia con los dinosaurios; a cómo ha cambiado nuestra imagen de los dinosaurios en estos 200 años y qué hemos aprendido por el camino. En este relato nos acompañará Daniel Vidal, que es paleontólogo, experto en biomecánica de dinosaurios e investigador en la UNED y en la Universidad de Chicago. Si os interesan los dinosaurios hemos hablado muchas veces de ellos en el programa. Podéis repasaro los capítulos s02e18, s04e14 y s02e38. También podéis aprender más sobre ellos en nuestro pódcast hermano, La Brújula de la Ciencia; buscad los episodios s09e26, s11e42, s08e26, s04e32, s06e18 y s03e11.

It's been two centuries since the first dinosaur, Megalosaurus, was named by William Buckland and to commemorate the date, the Natural History Museum hosted '200 Years of Dinosaurs: Their Rise, Fall, and Rebirth'. This international conference provides a snapshot of dinosaur research in 2024, demonstrating just how far our understanding of this group has come since 1824. In our coverage of this event, we speak to many of the leading palaeontologists in the field, as we look back over the last 200 years of research and consider what the next 200 might reveal.

William Buckland var en palæontolog, der ikke bare udgravede dinosaurer - han spiste dem!

Au début du XIXe siècle, en Angleterre, la découverte et l'étude de fossiles d'animaux inconnus vont bouleverser les connaissances. Cette nouvelle science s'appelle la paléontologie.  Les premiers paléontologues sont le Français Georges Cuvier, les Britanniques William Buckland, Gideon Mantell et sa femme Mary Ann. Il y a aussi Richard Owen. C'est lui qui a inventé le mot “dinosaure”, “dino” signifiant terrible et “saure” lézard. “Qui a inventé ?” te raconte leur histoire…

Il est peu d'esprits aussi brillants, fougueux et aventureux que celui de Franz Nopcsa. Auteur de théories inédites sur l'existence des dinosaures, celui qu'on baptise le père de la paléobiologie a connu une existence remplie de rebondissements, de découvertes et de danger.Quand il n'est pas en train de déterrer des fossiles, Nopcsa boit le thé avec des chefs de guerre albanais, arpente les routes d'Europe à moto avec l'homme de sa vie, ou joue les espions pour la monarchie des Habsbourg. Mais son intellect génial cache aussi un sombre secret...

In 1883, Missouri real estate broker James Reavis announced that he held title to a huge tract of land in the Arizona Territory. If certified, the claim would threaten the livelihoods of thousands of residents. In this week's episode of the Futility Closet podcast we'll tell the story of the Baron of Arizona, one of the most audacious frauds in American history. We'll also scrutinize British statues and puzzle over some curious floor numbers. Intro: In 1891, Charles Dodgson wrote a curiously unforthcoming letter to Nellie Bowman.

William Buckland was een briljante geoloog en paleontoloog, dat is absoluut waar. Wat ook waar is, is dat hij voor elke slimme hersencel ook een excentrieke had. Zo gaat dat wel vaker bij die pientere lui. Gelukkig betekent dat niet altijd een slecht einde. William Buckland uitte zijn gekheid vooral in de nieuwsgierigheid om alles te eten. Of nou ja, we houden het wel bij vlees. Maar wel élk vlees.

William Buckland was a minister, a college dean, and a dinosaur hunter. Meet him on THIS DAY, March 12th with Chris Conley. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

From mummified cats to eating toasted mice, William Buckland has done it all. He's a Victorian scientist and theologian who ate his way around the animal kingdom, as well as started the field of corpology (the study of fossilized poop). While Buckland's eccentricities have made him memorable to us, he also added great contributions to science, such as finding the Megalosaurus, one of the first dinosaurs ever discovered, as well as the first full dinosaur dig account. Our Halloween episode on Buckland is sure to delight and terrify you!

The holidays are upon us! What better way to celebrate than sharing a fun logic puzzle about five weird scientists and their holiday celebration. For the sake of the puzzle, let us just assume that these scientists are neighbors, and all exist in the same era. They include William Buckland, Tycho Brahe, Ilya Ivanovich Ivanov, Stubbins Ffirth, and Pythagoras. I will post my answers next week on my blog at MathScienceHistory.com - Play along!!

Welcome to our first Research Round Robin. In this series, each member of the Coffee Donuts crew researches their own topic and shares it with the group. Join us in our part one of a two part series as we explore The Exotic Eating Habits of William Buckland and Gwyneth Paltrow's Vagina Fixation. William Buckland was a geologist, paleontologist, zoologist, priest and lecturer. He was the President of the Royal Geographical Society and the Dean of Westminster Abbey. He was also the guy who tried to eat every animal on earth. Gwyneth Paltrow, the founder of Goop, is an actress, a businesswoman, and a modern day snake oil saleswoman, selling bullshit to consumers and profiting greatly off of their ignorance. Goop is a “modern wellness brand” supported by the principles of fallacy and falsehoods. The brand boasts remedies, cleanses and products that encapsulate alternative healing methods, but in reality forge practical solutions. But if you’re into shoving jade or rose quarts eggs up your cooch and drinking nothing but goats milk for a week than Goop is thee Mecca for advancing your health.

Dave Matthews Band's Crash Into Me would have been the story of two mangled corpses if it weren't for Lawrence Patrick's work on crash test dummies. If action is what you're after, blast off with the father of modern rocketry, Jack Parsons. Have a little nightcap with us as we delve into the eccentric life and times of the real Jurassic Park guy, William Buckland. You may leave with a craving for something else!

In this episode, we delve into William Buckland, a pioneer in Paleontology who was more than a little obsessed with Poop.

In 1804, when she was 5 years old, Mary Anning began to dig in the cliffs that flanked her English seaside town. What she found amazed the scientists of her time and challenged the established view of world history. In this week's episode of the Futility Closet podcast we'll tell the story of "the greatest fossilist the world ever knew.” We'll also try to identify a Norwegian commando and puzzle over some further string pulling. Intro: William Rowan Hamilton was so pleased with the fundamental formula for quaternions that he carved it into the bridge on which it occurred to him. On Christmas morning 1875, Mark Twain's daughter discovered a letter from the moon.

Fine Music Radio — WE KNOW WHAT DID THE DINOSAURS IN It’s been known for a long time – going back to the early fossil discoveries – that the pre-historic lizard-like creatures called ‘dinosaurs’ are no longer around. They ‘died out’ – but although there was a wealth of speculation, it was only recently (the last forty years or so) that the finger was pointed at a great catastrophe that ushered in a new geological age and explained why everything changed so dramatically at the end of the Cretaceous Era. William Buckland was the first professor of geology at Oxford, and he had to finance the science partly himself – his real job was as a churchman, a reverend, but his enthusiasm for fossil discoveries was unbounded and he described scientifically the first dinosaur fossil (although he called it ‘Megalosaurus’, Giant Lizard.) That was in the ’18-twenties. It was only when reliable dating could be done over a hundred years later that it was realized the extinction of the Dinosaurs (and many plants and other animals) went back 65-million years. And it was sudden – over 70 percent of the world’s species disappeared in the great End Cretaceous extinction event, and the mammals eventually filled the evolutionary gaps left by the dinosaurs. And those mammals are our ancestors, or at least one of them is. Jump to the modern age, and I’m leaving out a ton of stuff here, but it was deduced through brilliant research that a huge meteor or asteroid impact catastrophically changed the atmosphere and led to plunging temperatures and the obscuring of sunlight, the global winter. The search was on for an impact crater 65 million years old, which would have been nearly wiped out by erosion – but after a long and intriguing set of developments it’s now generally agreed that the impact site is the one on – and under, the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico, the Chicxulub Crater. Scientists, led by Professor Joanna Morgan of Imperial College in London, have been doing advanced detective work using th

Hace casi doscientos años, en diciembre de 1828, la recolectora de fósiles y paleontóloga aficionada Mary Anning descubrió en Lyme Regis, en la costa inglesa del Canal de la Mancha, los primeros restos hoy atribuidos a Dimorphodon, un esqueleto parcial al que le faltaba la cabeza. El reverendo William Buckland, que unos años antes había descrito el primer dinosaurio, el megalosaurio, adquirió los fósiles y, el 5 de febrero de 1829, los presentó ante la Sociedad Geológica de Londres. Tras un estudio concienzudo por parte de los naturalistas William Clift y William John Broderip, la descripción científica de la especie fue publicada en 1835. Buckland llamó a la nueva especie Pterodactylus macronyx. Macronyx, significa “garra grande”, y hace alusión a las grandes garras de las manos de este animal.

Melvyn Bragg and his guests discuss Catastrophism, the idea that natural disasters have had a significant influence in moulding the Earth's geological features. In 1822 William Buckland, the first reader of Geology at the University of Oxford, published his famous Reliquae Diluvianae, in which he ascribed most of the fossil record to the effects of Noah's flood. Charles Lyell in his Principles of Geology challenged these writings, arguing that geological change was slow and gradual, and that the processes responsible could still be seen at work today - a school of thought known as Uniformitarianism. But in the 1970s the idea that natural catastrophes were a major factor in the Earth's geology was revived and given new respectability by the discovery of evidence of a gigantic asteroid impact 65 million years ago, believed by many to have resulted in the extinction of the dinosaurs.
