Summary

Also, a nearly complete titanosaur was recently found! How long did it take for fossils in Australia to turn into opal? And how much do really exceptional fossil sites skew paleontological research?

Dinosaur of the day Zanclodon, An archosauriform originally named "Smilodon" because of its dagger-like teeth (but that name was already taken by the saber-toothed cat).

In dinosaur news this week:

There’s a new ornithopod, Chakisaurus nekul, which was much smaller than the titanosaurs that surrounded it in what is now Argentina
A new dinosaur, Imparavis attenboroughi, is a rare toothless enantiornithine that also likely had very powerful wings
A man out walking his dog found a nearly complete 70-million-year-old titanosaur
Fossils at Lightning Ridge, Australia took their sweet time to opalize
Really exceptional fossil sites (lagerstätten) are important, but they can influence our understanding of biodiversity and development on a global scale

You can dig up real dinosaur bones this summer with Colorado Northwestern Community College! Join them for a two week immersive field paleontology experience digging up dinosaur bones from the Jurassic period in Northwest Colorado. There are two scheduled digs: July 6–July 20 and July 22–August 5. There are also two concurrent immersive lab techniques programs available. Get all the details and register online at cncc.edu/dinodig

0:42.9	And I'm Sabrina.
0:51.1	And today in our 487th episode, Sabrina's kicking it off with a new ornithopod dinosaur.
0:53.6	Yes, and it's got a surprising tale.
0:57.3	Nice. I'm excited to hear about that. I've got a new an antiochnathene, which is usually, we would describe them as toothed birds, but this one is
1:04.8	toothless and way earlier than a lot of other toothless birds, which is pretty cool. That is cool.
1:11.3	We also look at how long did it take for fossils in Australia to turn into opal, and how much do
1:17.3	really exceptional fossil sites influence our understanding of how animals changed over time?
1:22.4	Plus, we've got Dinosaur of the Day, Zoncladon.
1:25.1	That's a fun name.
1:26.2	Technically not a dinosaur, but we'll get into that.
1:28.7	Okay. And I've got a fun fact, which is all about teeth. Speaking of Odon, which means tooth,
