Koparion, the Surgical Knife

from Paleo Bites

(image source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koparion) Host Matthew Donald and guest co-host Natasha Krech discuss Koparion, a really old member of its family that's known by its teeth, kind of like my great uncle from Oregon we all try to avoid. From the Late Jurassic, this 3-foot troodontid is getting paleontologists ever so close to discovering that elusive Jurassic era dromaeosaurid, but alas, we have not found it yet, just close relatives. Paleontology's like your crush sometimes: mysterious, attractive, but ultimately disappointing and leaving you with unanswered questions. Want to further support the show?
