21. Ornithopods and Whales with Ruairidh Duncan

Adele’s joined by special guest Ruairidh Duncan to talk about ornithopod dinosaurs and whales! We reminisce about the 90s and get nostalgic over the Natural History Museum in London, get the facts on herbivores from the Cretaceous coast and dive into the mysterious world of mysticetes AKA baleen whales AKA moustached whales! Plus info on Mammalodon, Basilosaurus, Ambulocetus and early whale evolution. We also chat about Janjucetus, Ruairidh’s study specimen, a puppy faced cetacean with big ol’ eyes from the Late Oligocene (25 million years ago).Links:@ruairidhduncan on Instagram@inxcetus on TwitterRuairidh's work on ornithopod jawsOrnithopod jaws from the Lower Cretaceous Eumeralla Formation, Victoria, Australia, and their implications for polar neornithischian dinosaur diversityVictorian Ornithopod DinosaursMeet the diverse group of plant-eating dinosaurs that roamed Victoria 110 million years agoJanjucetusJanjucetus hunderi - Museums Victoria CollectionsJanjucetus Nominee for Victoria's State Fossil EmblemJanjucetus Hunderi Explained - New York Institute of TechnologyPals in Palaeo @palsinpalaeoHost: Adele Pentland @palaeodelOnline StoreTranscriptsThe Pals in Palaeo Cover ArtJenny Zhao Design @jennyzdesignCrumpet Club House@crumpetclubhouse The Pals in Palaeo Theme MusicHello Kelly @hellokellymusic Podcast Producer + Editor Jean-César Puechmarin @cesar_on_safariPodcast EditorFrançois "Francy" Goudreault @hellofrancy
