Episode description

Adele's joined by special guest Nathan Phillips, a self-confessed dinosaur nerd and Australian Age of Dinosaurs alumni who's a pro at making moulds and casts of fossils! We chat about tools of the trades, how to make fossil replicas, why it makes science more accessible and some of the most challenging specimens Nathan's worked with.

Plus a quick random fossil fact on the mythological 'Chimera' and what the term means in the world of paleontology.
