13. Diamantinasaurus with Sam Beeston

12/05/23 • 90 min

Adele's partner in crime is the palaeo formerly known as Samantha Rigby and fellow Australian Age of Dinosaurs alumni! We revisit Winton in outback Australia to chat about sauropods, bones behaving like bubble wrap, bounding baby dinosaurs, and the advantages of 3D scanning.
Plus a quick random fossil fact on Dippy the Diplodocus starring as a Krayt dragon on Tatooine in Star Wars.
