Summary

This episode, we finally take the time to talk in detail about the dig site we mention more than any other, the site where we both spent many years: the Gray Fossil Site! We discuss the site’s discovery, ongoing work, ancient ecosystem, and some of our own experiences. In the news: the speed of T. rex, warm-blooded evolution, dinosaur sails, and the earliest Australians.
