S3 Ep3. Dr Nick Crumpton's fave fossil - Sharovipteryx mirabilis

In this PalaeoParty! Short, Dr Nick Crumpton tells us all about his favorite fossil - Sharovipteryx mirabilis. This little reptile was found in Triassic rocks in Kyrgyzstan - pretty normal right? NOPE! Sharovipteryx is unique because of the huge membrane that stretched between it's hind legs. Nick tells us about this truly weird beastie, what did it use this large 'wing' for, and why it interested him so much during his palaeo career.

PalaeoParty! Shorts is a new weekly podcast where we ask palaeontologists and allied workers about their favourite fossil. Each episode drops on #FossilFriday and is accompanied by a mini-poster on your website.

Normally we live stream on Twitch so you can chat and ask our guests questions in real time! Find our future schedule at our website: https://palaeoparty.weebly.com/ or at https://twitch.tv/palaeoparty. PalaeoParty! is run by Dr Emma Dunne, Dr Chris Dean and Dr Thomas Clements.

This season is generously funded by the Paleontological Society Outreach and Education Grant.
