    1. Anomalocaris

    Join Adele on a wild ride through the Cambrian (510-500 million years ago) as we discuss the ancient apex predator Anomalocaris (a weird shrimpy boy with face fangs).   We also touch on trilobite cannibalism, the advantages of compound eyes, building your own armour with biomineralisation and the first evolutionary arms race. Hold onto your butts!   Links: Random Fossil Fact Healed injuries in Early Cambrian trilobites from South Australia World's oldest known case of cannibalism revealed in trilobite fossils Trilobite Fossils Suggest Cannibalism Is More Ancient Than Once Thought Anomalocaris The sharp eyes of Anomalocaris, a top predator that lived half a billion years ago New anatomical information on Anomalocaris from the Cambrian Emu Bay Shale of South Australia and a reassessment of its inferred predatory habits Acute vision in the giant Cambrian predator Anomalocaris and the origin of compound eyes The oral cone of Anomalocaris is not a classic ‘‘peytoia’’ Pals in Palaeo @palsinpalaeo Host: Adele Pentland @palaeodel Online Store Transcripts The Pals in Palaeo Cover Art Jenny Zhao Design @jennyzdesign Crumpet Club House@crumpetclubhouse  The Pals in Palaeo Theme Music Hello Kelly @hellokellymusic  Podcast Producer + Editor Jean-César Puechmarin @cesar_on_safari Podcast Editor François "Francy" Goudreault @hellofrancy

    2. Koolasuchus

    Meet Koolasuchus cleelandi, a giant amphibian from the Cretaceous of Victoria, Australia (~125 million years ago) with the body of a salamander and a head as big as a wheelie bin lid. An animal that by all rights, SHOULD have gone extinct millions of years ago and chosen by the people as the state fossil emblem for Victoria.   We hear from two of the brilliant paleontologists who worked on the holotype, fossil preparator Lesley Kool and prospector Mike cleeland. We deviate and also talk red and white blood-cell like structures in the Jurassic ichthyosaur Stenopterygius.

    3. Ferrodraco

    Adele talks about the species of pterosaur she named: Ferrodraco lentoni affectionately known as Butch, or the Iron Dragon a winged reptile with a wingspan of 4m (just over 13 feet!)   Plus insight from fossil preparator Ali Calvey and discoverer of the Ferrodraco holotype specimen, Bob Elliott.    And a quick detour to talk about weird marine microfossils trapped in amber from the Cretaceous of southwestern France, ~100 million years old.   Links: Random Fossil Fact Evidence for marine microfossils from amber Ferrodraco 4-metre flying reptile unearthed in Queensland is our best pterosaur fossil yet   Ferrodraco lentoni gen. et sp. nov., a new ornithocheirid pterosaur from the Winton Formation (Cenomanian–lower Turonian) of Queensland, Australia The osteology of Ferrodraco lentoni, an anhanguerid pterosaur from the mid-Cretaceous of Australia  Anhanguera taxonomy revisited: is our understanding of Santana Group pterosaur diversity biased by poor biological and stratigraphic control?

    4. Glossopteris

    Introducing Glossopteris! A prolific fossil plant from the swamps of the southern supercontinent, Gondwana during the Permian period. We hear from Dr Anne-Marie Tosolini, a palaeontologist and palaeobotanist about this incredible fossil, and how Glossopteris helped piece together the theory of plate tectonics. Plus info on some interesting scrape marks made by dancing theropod dinosaurs from the Cretaceous of Colorado. Links Theropod courtship: large scale physical evidence of display arenas and avian-like scrape ceremony behaviour by Cretaceous dinosaurs Mysterious footprint fossils point to dancing dinosaur mating ritual Anatomically preserved Glossopteris stems with attached leaves from the central Transantarctic Mountains, Antarctica Unique trackway on Permian Karoo shoreline provides evidence of temnospondyl locomotory behaviour Pals in Palaeo @palsinpalaeo Host: Adele Pentland @palaeodel Online Store Transcripts The Pals in Palaeo Cover Art Jenny Zhao Design @jennyzdesign Crumpet Club House@crumpetclubhouse  The Pals in Palaeo Theme Music Hello Kelly @hellokellymusic  Podcast Producer + Editor Jean-César Puechmarin @cesar_on_safari Podcast Editor François "Francy" Goudreault @hellofrancy

    5. Cryolophosaurus

    Join Adele and guest Dr Nathan Smith on an adventure through the Jurassic forests of Antarctica (180 million years ago) as we talk about one of the coolest dinosaurs, Cryolophosaurus (the overlooked cousin of Dilophosaurus). We also touch on pterosaurs from Madagascar, fieldwork in frozen lands, the advantages of a pompadour and why this theropod is nicknamed Elvis!

    Adele dives into the Devonian oceans to talk about the colossal armoured fish Dunkleosteus. An ancient apex predator about as big as a shark, with bone-crushing jaws. You're gonna need a bigger boat! Plus tangents on coprolites and the accidental discovery of an ancient species of beetle from Triassic poop from Poland.
