The future of dinosaurs with David Hone
This episode is with David Hone.David is a paleontologist and writer. His research focuses on the behavior and ecology of the dinosaurs and their flying relatives, the pterosaur. He is the author of "The tyrannosaur Chronicles" and "The future of Dinosaurs". Here we talk about importance of fossils in science, process of fossilization, why did dinosaurs go extincts?, Evolution of modern birds, and the future of dinosaurs.
