Episode 1 • Jun 25, 2017
The Trouble with Trilobites
Trilobites are famous not just because they were so beautifully functional, or because they happened to preserve so well. They're known the world over because they were everywhere.
Episode 2 • Jul 02, 2017
When Did the First Flower Bloom?
During the Cretaceous Period, dinosaurs were more diverse, more fierce, and more strange than ever. But something else was happening under the feet of the terrible lizards: for the first time in history, there were flowers.
Episode 3 • Jul 10, 2017
The Tully Monster & Other Problematic Creatures
There are animals in the fossil record that challenge some of our most basic ideas about what animals are supposed to look like. If there ever was a monster on this planet that was worthy of the name, it might have been the Tully Monster.
Episode 4 • Jul 16, 2017
Stegosaurs: Tiny Brains & Thagomizers
If you take it as a given that extinct dinosaurs were all weird and wonderful, then you gotta at least consider that Stegosaurus was one of the weirdest and wonderfulest.
Episode 5 • Jul 23, 2017
What Colors Were Dinosaurs?
We know a lot about dinosaurs but there's one question that has plagued paleontologists for decades: what color were they?
Episode 6 • Jul 30, 2017
The Story of Saberteeth
Smilodon was a fearsome Ice Age cat, the size of a modern-day tiger, that had a pair of fangs nearly 18 centimeters long. But it was only the last and largest of the great sabertooths: ridiculously long canines had already been a trend for millions of years by the time Smilodon was prowling around. And you know what? Those giant teeth just might make a comeback.
Episode 7 • Aug 06, 2017
That Time Oxygen Almost Killed Everything
What if we told you that there was a time when oxygen almost wiped out all life on Earth? 3 billion years ago, when the world was a place you'd never recognize, too much of a good thing almost ruined everything for everybody.
Episode 8 • Aug 13, 2017
The Biggest Thing That Ever Flew
Today, we're familiar with two types of flying vertebrates -- birds and bats. But over 66 million years ago, there was a giraffe-sized reptile that soared through the sky.
Episode 9 • Sep 20, 2017
Dimetrodon: Our Most Unlikely Ancestor
Dimetrdons may look like giant lizards or dinosaurs. But they were really mammals, or at least proto-mammals, with features now common in mammals such as differentiated teeth.
Episode 10 • Aug 27, 2017
The Extinction That Never Happened
Natural history is full of living things that were long thought to have gone extinct only to show up again, alive and well. Paleontologists have a word for these kinds of organisms: They call them Lazarus taxa.
Episode 11 • Sep 10, 2017
The Strange Case of the Buzzsaw Jaws
There are many fossils that challenge our ability to form even the most basic idea of how a living thing looked, or lived, or functioned. One of the longest-running of these mysteries involved a 270-million-year-old sea creature called Helicoprion that once swam the seas around the supercontinent of Pangea.
Episode 12 • Sep 17, 2017
The Age of Giant Insects
Insects outnumber humans by a lot and we only like to think we're in charge because we're bigger than they are. But insects and other arthropods weren't always so small. About 315 million years ago during the Carboniferous Period, they were not only abundant: they were enormous.
Episode 13 • Sep 25, 2017
History's Most Powerful Plants
Fossil fuels are made from the remains of extinct organisms that have been exposed to millions of years of heat and pressure. But in the case of coal, these organisms consisted largely of some downright bizarre plants that once covered the Earth, from Colorado to China.
Episode 14 • Oct 01, 2017
How Did Dinosaurs Get So Huge?
Part of why we're so fascinated with extinct dinosaurs it's just hard for us to believe that animals that huge actually existed. And yet, they existed. From the Jurassic to the Cretaceous Periods, creatures as tall as a five-story building were shaking the Earth.
Episode 15 • Oct 08, 2017
When The Earth Was Purple
Besides the blue of the oceans, the dominant color of our planet, as we know it, is green. But imagine a time when the Earth looked a little - purple.
Episode 16 • Oct 15, 2017
Living Fossils Aren't Really a Thing
