In this Mystery, students explore the idea that the rock under our feet sometimes contains fossils, and investigate how these fossils reveal changes in habitat through time.

In this Mystery, students investigate the hypothesis that an asteroid impact caused the extinction of the dinosaurs.

There are three different kinds of fossils that paleontologists look for: body fossils, trace fossils, and cast and mold fossils.

Let’s take a look at some animals that are still alive — animals we know quite a bit about — and see what we can learn from their bones.

In this episode, co-host Kate Wexler joins us to ask and answers some questions related to extinction

We find out how scientists look at the rock and elements AROUND a fossil to figure out its age.

Ancient dinosaurs were some of the biggest creatures to ever stomp the Earth. But how and why did they get so giant?

Paleontology is the study of ancient life, from dinosaurs to prehistoric plants, mammals, fish, insects, fungi, and even microbes.

Learn how to look at a bunch of bones and draw what a dinosaur looked like.

What is it like to hunt for dinosaur fossils? And what discoveries are made back in the lab?

Meet some of the more unusual members of T. rex and Velociraptor’s family tree.

Bury chicken bones in plaster of Paris to see the challenges paleontologists face when excavating fossils.
