At the Feet of the Dinosaurs Unearthing Ancient Secrets

Venture into the Lost World…One Minute at a Time

Your source for prehistoric knowledge!

A warm welcome to The Palaeo Minute!

At the Feet of the Dinosaurs: Unearthing Ancient Secrets: This edition of The Palaeo Minute revisits the project that helped launch my palaeontology career, from fossil-rich bonebeds and storm-blown sediments to my first academic publication. Join me on a journey through prehistoric environments and the microscopic clues they left behind. I hope you enjoy unearthing Triassic insights in this edition.

This edition explores:

  • Palaeontology in Action: My research at the University of Bristol (2018–2020).
  • Behind-the-Scenes: Of my palaeontological internship, hands-on exploration & discovery.
  • A Geological Field Site: Like no other, the fascinating terrain I investigated.
  • Microvertebrate Fossils Revealed: Fossils identified & collection comparisons.

This project, though rooted in past research, set the foundation for the skills crucial to my palaeontological journey, skills I honed during my transformative At the Feet of the Dinosaurs internship.

My Science Soundbites!

dinosaur action interview
An impressive skeleton cast @morethanadodo. This one is of Struthiomimus sedens, a dinosaur from the 65 million year old Lance Formation in Wyoming, USA. This dinosaurs name means 'Ostrich Mimic', and it shares adaptive features in common with today's present ostriches and other large flightless birds. Struthiomimus was lightly built, agile, and is calculated to likely run at least 50 kilometres per hour! It is part of the dinosaur group ornithiomimidae, which includes other dinosaurs such as Archaeornithomimus, Ornithomimus, Gallimimus and many more.
