Episode 70 - The Inside Man

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 70 - The Inside Man.

In this episode (stream it here!), my terrific guest Dr. Paul Barrett joins the show to chat with me about:

how to select which journal to publish in, the new Late Triassic sauropodomorph Musankwa sanyatiensis, the provenance of the holotype fossils, performing fieldwork off a houseboat in Lake Kariba, naming dinosaurs after boats, comparing a houseboat as a laboratory against a trailer for a field lab, interpreting the Pebbly Arkose Formation in which Musankwa was discovered, observing sauropodomorph diversity in the Late Triassic, tectonic shifting during the Late Triassic, surviving the End-Triassic extinction event, supervising PhD students and much more!

Plus, be sure to look into Dr. Barrett's new book A History of Dinosaurs in 50 Fossils


Dinosaurs have captivated the world since Megalosaurus was the first one named in 1824, and A History of Dinosaurs in 50 Fossils features fifty of the most momentous dinosaur findings from the fossil record. From rare fossil embryos that provide a glimpse into the early stage of dinosaur growth and development, to the claw of a Deinonychus, the dinosaur that served as a template for Jurassic Park’s terrorizing raptors, the book illustrates the enthralling evolutionary history of animals that ruled the Earth for more than 150 million years with 75 full-color illustrations. Each stunning fossil photograph, magnified for optimal detail, includes an entry explaining the importance of the discovery and the fossil’s significance in the larger evolutionary timeline. Themed chapters build off each other to depict a full and incredible story, including content on:

  • the origin and rise of dinosaurs
  • an introduction to major groups
  • biological characteristics like feeding, behavior, distribution, and locomotion
  • the first fossil birds, including the legendary feathered dinosaur, Archaeopteryx, considered widely to be the world’s first bird species

The book provides insight on what fossils tell us about dinosaur relationships, movement, diet, skin, teeth, and frills, and so much more. A History of Dinosaurs in 50 Fossils compiles centuries’ of the most exciting fossil findings that helped earn dinosaurs an enduring place in the public imagination. This authoritative and visually beautiful book will delight and inspire readers young and old, and help them understand the rise and fall of some of the most amazing creatures to roam Earth.
