Dirt to Dinosaur: Paleontology 101




Ecogeeks : Untamed Science Video Podcast show

Summary: Lindsay Zanno helped walk us through the details of what it's like to get a dinosaur from the field into a display. The key things she emphasized were that a) it's a lot of work b) it's not glamorous c) rarely to they find complete skeletons d) they don't excavate it with little brushes out in the field and e) they spend close to 50 times the effort on a skeleton, in the lab, once it's been pulled out of the ground.
