Dinosaurs Will Always Be Awesome

By Jimmy Waldron

Do you remember the first time you saw a dinosaur? Whether in a movie or a museum, action figures or adventures and fantasy, each of us has a connection to these colossal creatures. Kids grow out of the sandbox, and adults trade prehistoric titans for modern challenges. But deep down in our hearts, there is a spark of imagination and wonder, like an ancient egg waiting to hatch. Here’s where we begin, because no matter what you do, where you’re from, or how old you are... Dinosaurs Will Always Be Awesome.

#DWABA 206 | Nodosaurs, Nodoproblem! starring Dr. Caleb Brown, PhD

Ankylosaurus is one of the worlds best known dinosaurs, with its thick armored plating and the iconic tail club. In spite of its familiarity, it is known from far fewer remains than its closest relatives. And wait until you find out what's inside Borealopelta! And what’s the deal with this thing, was it more like a turtle or more like an armadillo? New discoveries of the armored dinosaurs continue to shape our understanding of these incredible walking tanks. Let’s discover the world’s most-died-right-after-lunchingest dinosaur, with the help of our next guest— curator of Dinosaur Systematics and Evolution for the Royal Tyrrell Museum, Dr. Caleb Brown. Here are the Journals: Arbour, V., Mallon, J. 2017. Unusual cranial and postcranial anatomy in the archetypal ankylosaur Ankylosaurus magniventris. Facets. Brown, C. M., Henderson, D. H., Vinther, J., Fletcher, I., Sistiaga, A., Herrera, J. & Summons, R. E. (2017). An exceptionally preserved three-dimensional ankylosaur reveals insights into coloration and Cretaceous predator-prey dynamics. Current Biology, 27(16), 2514-2521.

#DWABA 205 - FossilFishFebruary with PaleoKeely!

On this very special #FossilFriday edition of Dinosaurs Will Always Be Awesome, we teamed up with the Expeditioner's Discovery Guild Enterprise and a bunch of Paleo YouTubers to celebrate our great ancestors -- with #FossilFishFebruary! Because we all know birds are dinosaurs--but what are dinos if not archosaurs? And what are archosaurs if not stem-fish?! And now, with our Neil Shubin level of Cladogymnastics out of the way, meet Keely Sweeney from InStone Fossils who takes us on a journey into deep time and shallow rivers. Turns out the best fishing is still early in the morning or late at night---even if the fish have been dead for 52 million years.

#DWABA 105 - Gotta Collect 'Em All - with Levi Shinkle, Wyoming Dinosaur Center

Levi Shinkle, Collections Manager for Wyoming Dinosaur Center, joins us today to share a day in the life of a dinosaur caretaker. Every discovery—no matter how revolutionary—required the careful diligence of a Collections Manager to keep the results authentic. For Levi, whose museum (which is more like an Organic Dinosaur Farm) sits at the crossroads of wonder and discovery, the responsibilities are far-reaching and vital to the living science of paleontology.
