Longisquama, the One With Long Scales

from Paleo Bites

(image source: https://fossil.fandom.com/wiki/Longisquama) Host Matthew Donald and guest co-host Lawrence Mack discuss Longisquama, a mysterious creature with tall feather-like scales it presumably used to get a good radio signal so it could catch the game every Sunday. From the Early to Mid Triassic, this 1.5-foot reptile might have been a primitive archosaur, a more basal relative of lizards, or even an extremely early dinosaur. C'mon paleontologists, figure it out already! How hard could it be, really? Want to further support the show? Sign up to our Patreon for exclusive bonus content at Patreon.com/MatthewDonald.
