Episode 65 - Epilogue: San Jose

Welcome to the Juras-Sick Park-Cast podcast, the Jurassic Park podcast about Michael Crichton's 1990 novel Jurassic Park, and also not about that, too. 

Find the episode webpage at: Episode 65 - Epilogue: San Jose.

In this episode, my terrific guest Dr. Jordan Mallon returns to the show to chat with me about:

65 million years ago, the end-Cretaceous extinction event, mammals claiming the earth, the Repenomamus (a mammal) eating a psittacosaurus!, the other animals that weren't dinsoaurs, during the Mesozoic, fieldwork results from summer 2023, skin impressions in champsosaurs, charismatic megafauna, microraptors eating mammals, the Canadian Museum of Nature, the styracosaurus holotype, the edmontosaurus which is Canada's oldest dinosaur mount, a huge triceratops skull collected in 1929 from southern Sastachewan, an exceptional pteranodon specimen, Russell's "Dinosauroid" named Herman,  the CMN's Open House in Gatineau, QC when the collections are open to the public, Tiktaalik the lobe-finned fish, Dr. Peter Dodson and horned dinosaurs, taking career advice from movies in the 90s, Terminator 2: Judgement Day, the ending to Jurassic Park, and much more!
