As every year, Marc, Natee and Gemma visited TetZooCon, Darren Naish’ big annual London event about animals, palaeontology, palaeoart and all things tetrapod. And this was a special edition indeed. Not only has this been the last ever edition of the Tetrapod Zoology Conference in its current form (more on which on the show) but we actually gave a talk this time! And what’s more, the talk has been recorded and is included in full on this very special, extra long episode. So indulge yourself, park somewhere if you’re in your car, and enjoy our very final thoughts on a wonderful, bittersweet edition of our favourite event, followed by our live celebration of Fifteen Years of Love in the time of Chasmosaurs: An Ode To Bad Palaeoart.
In the News
- Ardetosaurus viator is the name given to the new sauropod currently mounted at Oertijdmuseum Boxtel. We interviewed the main author Tom van der Linden back in episode 14, so we felt some followup was due here. The paper is open access and can be read here.
- During our TetZooCon weekend, all three of us found the time to take a look at Fern, the bronze Diplodocus mount at the new gardens at London’s Natural History Museum.
