Ahshislesaurus wimani: The 109-Year Ghost in the Museum
from Intellectually Curious · host Mike Breault
A nine-ton hadrosaur from late Cretaceous Laramidia, found in New Mexico, spent over a century mislabelled in a museum. In 2025, a meticulous reanalysis by Dollman and colleagues reclassified it as Ahshislesaurus wimani. We unpack how a partial skull, a robust front mandible, and an extra set of teeth revealed a new genus—and how old bones in museum drawers can rewrite dinosaur history while honoring the Navajo place-name Ashi Uba (salt-gray).Note: This podcast was AI-generated, and sometimes AI can make mistakes.
