I Know Dino: The Big Dinosaur Podcast

From tiny Triassic taxa to stupendous "snake-necked" sauropods. We cover eight brand new named dinosaurs—And they are all sauropods (with one sauropodomorph).

A new small sauropodomorph from Zimbabwe, Musango matusadonaensis, that weighed as much as two ostriches
A sauropod in India, Ceratocaudia antiqua, was old for a neosauropod (Early/Mid Jurassic) but also old as an individual (with arthritis)
A new small titanosaur from Uruguay, Mesetasaurus protector
A new Moroccan titanosaur, Phosphatotitan khouribgaensis, looked a lot like a miniature Patagotitan

The new sauropod Yantaloong lini has an extra pair of “lock and key” joints between its vertebrae
There’s a new enormous titanosauriform, Nagatitan chaiyaphumensis, from Thailand with a humerus measuring 1.78m (5ft 10in) tall
The first dinosaur bone found in Antarctica belongs to a titanosaur (although its not complete enough to have a name)

Interview with Joschua Knüppe, a paleoartist, and host of Paleostream on Twitch. He was also the scientific advisor for Netflix’s The Dinosaurs, which came out earlier this year—and we talked to him in episode 403, about the graphic novel, Europasaurus: Life on Jurassic Islands
In dinosaur news this week:
There’s a new unenlagiid dinosaur, Kank australis, that seems to have adaptations for fishing (and fossilized with fish)
