Am really enjoying & learning lots from @thefossilfiles.bsky.social podcast, particularly that they include any type of fossil, from the Edicaruan to Neanderthals, as well as dinos. Loved this episode on fossil fails, when paleontology gets it, um, wrong. V. funny but also informative.
Could there have been dinosaurs on the moon? 🦕🌝 No really.
🚨 New episode out today on notorious "Fossil Fails" in which Susie and Rob explore some odd examples of palaeontology gone wrong. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3JI4...
