Adele’s joined by special guest Ruairidh Duncan to talk about ornithopod dinosaurs and whales! We reminisce about the 90s and get nostalgic over the Natural History Museum in London, get the facts on herbivores from the Cretaceous coast and dive into the mysterious world of mysticetes AKA baleen whales AKA moustached whales!
Plus info on Mammalodon, Basilosaurus, Ambulocetus and early whale evolution. We also chat about Janjucetus, Ruairidh’s study specimen, a puppy faced cetacean with big ol’ eyes from the Late Oligocene (25 million years ago).
