Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Tyrannosaurus update and Riley Black

Q: Are you going to write Allosaurus next?

Black said she is working on a book about a Megalodon named Finn, set in ancient Peru, and is about a third of the way through the manuscript. She may consider an Allosaurus story later.

Tyrannosaurus update and Riley Black

Q: How much extra research was involved in writing a story like this?

Black did substantial research into specific questions such as tooth replacement, feeding, and dinosaur senses, and read about the North Horn Formation to portray its habitat accurately rather than borrowing details from Hell Creek.

A Hadrosaur with a Sail Tail like Spinosaurus

Q: What made the new hadrosaurs stand out in the latest papers?

The standout features include a sail-like tail in Gongxuelong fanwei and the discovery of a cryptic hadrosaur lineage in Romania that expands our understanding of hot seg basin diversity, as well as relational context to Telmatosaurus and other regional taxa.

The Scientific Advisor for Netflix’s The Dinosaurs

Q: What was it like to be a scientific advisor for a Netflix show like The Dinosaurs?

Joschua Knuppe describes his involvement as largely advisory and credited, with his input focusing on life restoration and early interactions with the production team; he notes the extensive collaboration and the intention to improve accuracy while recognizing the constraints of large-scale production.

Dinosaur Growth!

Q: How did sauropod diets change as they grew, and how might that have supported their rapid growth to giant sizes?

Juvenile sauropods likely fed on lower, more abundant plant matter and gradually incorporated a wider range of plants as they grew, aided by a large gut and faster digestion to meet growing energy needs; adults could access higher or more diverse plant resources as their necks and guts expanded, supporting continued growth.
