1:04.5	We also have a special dinosaur connection challenge about cabinets of curiosities brought to you by exquisite eons, which is really cool.
1:08.1	We've been meaning to talk about cabinets of curiosities for a while because they're super interesting. They're sort of like the early precursors to today's natural history museums. And so some of them featured dinosaurs. Way before dinosaurs were even dinosaurs. We also have Dinosaur of the Day, magapnosaurus, as well as a fun fact
1:31.2	about dichreosaurus, like a margosaurus, but they're cool neural spines. And other animals had them
