The Iron Dragon- with Adele Pentland

from The Snakeman's Lair

The Snakeman's Lair has reached its first season finale, but before we move forward I thought it was high time we had a look back- way back. Today our doors open to welcome paleontologist Adele Pentland, who does pretty much what any child in their right mind dreams of: live in the middle of the Australian outback and dig up fossils from a time so remote it is hard to even picture. Adele's work mainly involves fossilf from the Cretaceous, the last period of the age of the dinosaurs, which is scarcely known here in Australia. She has already described two new species of pterosaurs (flying reptiles) and much more is on the way- I mean, I couldn't pick just *anyone* to close off the season. Other than that, Adele will also tell us all about what life as a paleontologist really is like beyond Jurassic Park, the role of natural history museums, and the bond between life and the land. All you have to do now is tune in and join us in The Snakeman's Lair!
