Episode 62 - Hammond

Jurassic Park Cast

Welcome to the Juras-Sick Park-Cast podcast, the Jurassic Park podcast about Michael Crichton's 1990 novel Jurassic Park, and also not about that, too.

Find the episode webpage at: Episode 62 - Hammond.

In this episode, my terrific guest Dr. Spencer Lucas joins the show to chat with me about:

the greatness of New Mexico, reading Jurassic Park, watching Jurassic Park, Sam Neill, rediscovered animals like the Coelocanth, will we discover true extra terrestrials soon?, the UFO Festival in Roswell, NM, the plausibility of Crichton's science fiction, The House Oversight subcommittee's hearing on UFOs, neat details about Tyrannosaurus, field work in New Mexico, the Permian Age, continental Pangea, ancient climates, chaos theory, how to make sense of extinction events, Permian insects and the meganeuran dragonflies, "God had an inordinate fondness for beetles," cockroaches, giant millipedes, amber deposits, coelophysis, the incredible similarities between Triassic dinosaurs and birds, eucoelophysis, silesaurids, dinosaur origins, visiting the New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science, and much more!

Plus dinosaur news about:

• New enantiornithine bird from the uppermost Cretaceous (Maastrichtian) of southern Patagonia, Argentina
• A New Basal Neornithischian Dinosaur from the Phu Kradung Formation (Upper Jurassic) of Northeastern Thailand
