On today's show...
In the words of Alex Dececchi, assistant professor at Dakota State University, there's an ancient trackway from China that "doesn't make any sense."
Dececchi is a paleontologist and put forth a few interpretations for the footprints. They all involve a closer look at the Microraptor-type dinosaur's feathers and wings.
He also offers Pterosaur 101 for listeners and what he expects from the next "Jurassic World" movie's portrayal of the Quetzalcoatlus (1:00 to 33:39).
Plus, geologist and paleontologist Mattison Shreero returns to the show. She left Badlands National Park last year and discusses how federal cuts could impact the parks system.
Shreero also shares how you can help during your Badlands summer vacation (33:39 to 49:19).
