S3 Ep5. Dr Valentina Rossi's fave fossil - Ammonites PalaeoParty!
-
- Natural Sciences
With their coiled shells, ammonites are one of the most iconic and recognizable type of fossils! They are the focus of this episode, where we talk to Dr Valentina Rossi about these mysterious cephalopods and why they are her favorite fossil. We talk about fieldwork, the strict fossil laws of Italy, and about her inspiration: Mary Anning - the fossil collector who lived in Lyme Regis during the 1800s, collecting ammonites from the local cliffs with her dog, Tray.

PalaeoParty! Shorts is a new weekly podcast where we ask palaeontologists and allied workers about their favourite fossil. Each episode drops on #FossilFriday and is accompanied by a mini-poster on your website.
