Summary
Interview with Jewels Goff Education Outreach Programs Coordinator & George Jacob President of the Phillip J Currie Dinosaur Museum.
Antarctic Extinction Evidence may point to a second extinction even caused by the Deccan Traps eruptions, NASA's Planetary Defense Coordination Office is monitoring the skies for extinction-sized objects, Huge Dinosaur Trackway found in BC Canada, and more.

| 0:19.3 | Hello and welcome to I Know Dino, the Big Dinosaur podcast, where we cover news, interviews, and |
| 0:27.2 | discussions of all things Dinosaur. Hello and welcome to I Know Dino. I'm Garrett. And I'm |
| 0:34.0 | Sabrina. This week, we're back from our big dinosaur road trip, and we have our |
| 0:39.8 | first interview, which was with Jules Gough and George Jacob from the Philip J. Curry Dinosaur Museum. |
| 0:46.4 | We have some news that we're catching up on. And since that Philip J. Curry Dinosaur Museum is in |
| 0:52.8 | Alberta, our dinosaur of the day is Albertosaurus. |
| 0:56.4 | First, jumping into our news, last week we talked about some new evidence from the Antarctic, |
| 1:02.7 | that there was a sudden extinction event, likely caused by a meteorite or something like that. |
| 1:09.4 | And that was based on some mollusks that were found in Antarctica. |
| 1:13.0 | This week we've got another paper based on similar evidence from Antarctica by Sierra |
| 1:18.6 | Peterson and others who believe that the Deccan traps may have caused some extinctions as well. |
| 1:25.4 | Basically, the Deccan traps are a region in India that was formed from massive volcanism |
| 1:30.3 | that was going on right around the same time that the Chicksilube impactor hit Earth. |
| 1:35.4 | So there's always this debate of where the Deccan traps volcanism causing extinctions, |
| 1:40.3 | or was it the meteorite that made the Chicksilube crater? |
| 1:43.4 | Nobody really knows for sure. |
| 1:44.9 | So it's pretty hard to separate which event caused extinction or even if it was a combined |
| 1:50.6 | effect. Like we talked about that study where the meteorite may have caused more eruptions |
| 1:56.7 | from the deck and traps or something. There's all sorts of complicated possibilities. |
| 2:01.0 | So these researchers used a paleo thermometer, which we've talked about before, |
