@iszi.com I’ve just listening to this recent episode of the Terrible Lizards podcast, but when I looked at the thumbnail I couldn’t help but wonder why @davehone.bsky.social was wearing a bra? I soon realised my mistake, but it does look very odd! πŸ˜‚

One of the absolute highlights of an incredible Fossil Festival was meeting the wonderful duo of @iszi.com and @davehone.bsky.social from Terrible Lizards!

I met Dave Brubeck many years ago at a festival. I'd just bought a bag of chips and he said they looked nice so I offered him one... He took five.

Iszi @iszi.com guilted me into reposting this show.

(Well, guilted is a strong interpretation, being as I’ve been enjoying the show all these years for free. Nudged might be a better term.)

Iszi nudged me me into reposting this excellent show.

With the trailers for both #WalkingWithDinosaurs and #JurassicWorld Rebirth apparently showing swimming Spinosaurus, I thought it might be time to go over why I think these animals were not good swimmers. After all, it's something I've written a fair bit about (with @arctomet.bsky.social) 1/many
