There was apparently so much palaeological goodness at the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology’s 2016 meeting in Salt Lake City this year that Palaeocast couldn’t contain their coverage of it in a single podcast episode.
In the special SVP 2016 episode of Palaeocast, Liz Martin-Silverstone and Caitlin Colleary provide an entertaining and enthusiastic recap of the recently completed 76th Annual Meeting of the Society of Vertebrate Paleontology. Also included in this episode is an interview with the always interesting Brian Switek, who many will also likely know by his nom-de-Twitter Laelaps.
Those who enjoyed Mark Witton’s brilliant book Pterosaurs: Natural History, Evolution, Anatomy will be no doubt interested to learn – if they didn’t know it already – that he gave a fascinating interview to Liz Martin of Palaeocast. Of course, if you haven’t yet read his book I most heartily encourage you to listen to the interview at your earliest convenience, but be warned – it will have you making a bee line for your nearest book shop to secure a copy of Pterosaurs for yourself.
While each episode of Palaeocast is a delightful sojourn in itself into the world of paleontology, I was particularly happy to discover that Episode 18: Trilobites devotes the better part of an hour to an interview with none other than Professor Richard Fortey of the Natural History Museum.
