Join Adele and special guest museum curator Kevin Petersen for a chat about Australia's newest pterosaur, Haliskia! Kev takes us through the discovery and preparation of the specimen, whilst Adele tackles the form, function and family grouping of this new species.
Plus why Kevin loves turtle fossils, and pterosaurs puking pellets.
