Ear Bones & Ancient Life 🦖 | Deep Dive with Kelsey Jenkins

🦖 In this episode, I sit down with paleontologist Kelsey Jenkins for a deep dive into some of the most fascinating (and often overlooked) parts of prehistoric science.This conversation goes beyond just dinosaurs — exploring the world before them, including the massive extinction event that reshaped life on Earth.🎥 In this interview, we cover:• How taxonomy helps scientists classify ancient life• The role of taphonomy in understanding how fossils form and are preserved• What ear bones can tell us about extinct animals• Life before dinosaurs and the end-Permian extinction• How mass extinction events changed the course of evolution🦕 If you're interested in the deeper science behind fossils and prehistoric life, this episode is packed with insight into how paleontologists reconstruct entire worlds from fragments of the past.👍 Like, subscribe, and stick around for more dinosaur projects, fossil science, and prehistoric storytelling!🦕 SUPPORT THE PREHISTORIC LIFE PATREON If you want to help fuel these projects (and get some exclusive perks), consider supporting the Prehistoric Life Patreon.
