From Fiction to Fossils: Mentorship in Motion: In this edition I reflect on the mentors, collaborators, and unexpected sources of inspiration that have shaped my path in palaeontology from research supervisors to consultants and creators behind the Jurassic Park films. Their guidance and creativity have played a defining role in my journey through both science and storytelling.

This edition explores:

  • Collaborating with Palaeontologists: Reflections on research & mentorship.
  • Jurassic Park’s Enduring Impact on Palaeontology: My encounters with Jurassic Park & Jurassic World cast & crew.

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.

This open access edition of The Palaeo Minute looks at how scientific consultancy for television turns entertainment into genuine learning, revealing the behind‑the‑scenes expertise that makes a comedy science show for the CBBC both accurate and engaging. The Palaeo Sponsor Spotlight page is NOW LIVE! There are so many awesome shots in Jurassic Park 3. Dinosaurs, marine reptiles, and pterosaurs do more than capture the imagination, they reveal powerful lessons about evolution, extinction, and the environments shaping our future. Palaeontology helps us understand Earth’s changing history and our place within it.
