Description
Do we have physical evidence of the last day of the dinosaurs? We consider fossilized fish in South Dakota that may chronicle the dramatic events that took place when, 66 million years ago, a large asteroid slammed into the Gulf of Mexico and caused three-quarters of all species to disappear.
Also, what new discoveries have paleontologists made about these charismatic animals, and the director of Jurassic World: Dominion talks about how his film hews to the latest science. Hint: feathers!
It’s deep history, as we look at what happened as terrestrial life experienced its worst day ever.
Guests:
Colin Trevorrow – Director of Jurassic World: Dominion
Riley Black – Science writer and author of “The Last Days of the Dinosaurs”
Anusuya Chinsamy-Turan – Paleontologist at the University of Cape Town, South Africa
*Originally aired June 13, 2022
Featuring music by Dewey Dellay and Jun Miyake
