Episode 67 - The Encased Mosquito

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 67 - The Encased Mosquito.

In this episode (stream is here!), my terrific guest Dr. Mark A. Loewen joins the show to chat with me about:

the formation of the Rocky Mountains, Laramidia and its connection to Pangea, how Tyrannosaurs and Triceratops benefited from the climatic and geographic changes of the Late Cretaceous, and the new paper on Lokiceratops rangiformis; its discovery, its purchase and new home in Denmark at the Museum of Evolution in Denmark, hyperdiversity of macroherbivorous dinosaurs endemic to particular areas in Larimidia, finding artists to portray the animal, naming new dinosaurs, declaring a new clade albertaceratopsini, naming conventions, centrosaurs in Jurassic Park like styracosaurus, nasutoceratops and sinoceratops, the differences between chasmosaurs and centrosaurs, thinking of dinosaurs like centorsaurines as if they were birds, and how the large cavities in ceratopsian skulls may have impacted their lives, centrosaurine chewing, reverse engineering a chicken, and much more!

Plus dinosaur news about:

• Diuqin lechiguanae gen. et sp. nov., a new unenlagiine (Theropoda: Paraves) from the Bajo de la Carpa Formation (Neuquén Group, Upper Cretaceous) of Neuquén Province, Patagonia, Argentina. (Diuqin lechiguanae)
• Lokiceratops rangiformis gen. et sp. nov. (Ceratopsidae: Centrosaurinae) from the Campanian Judith River Formation of Montana reveals rapid regional radiations and extreme endemism within centrosaurine dinosaurs. (Lokiceratops rangiformis)
