In our 189th episode we got to speak with Glen McIntosh who has been working at Industrial Light & Magic since 1998, and has worked on a number of films, including Star Wars: Episodes 1-3, E.T., and Jurassic Park III, Jurassic World, and Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom. You can see him briefly in a making of Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom here telling Chris Pratt that the dinosaurs will be “even better” in Fallen Kingdom.

Episode 189 also features Lamaceratops, a small—possibly dubious—ceratopsian from Mongolia.

In this episode, we discuss:

News:

The dinosaur of the day Lamaceratops

Ceratopsian that lived in the Late Cretaceous ~85MYO in what is now Mongolia

Probably small like other mongolian ceratopsians

Name means “Lama horned face”

Found in the Nemegt Valley, found a partial skull and lower jaw

Named in 2003 by V. R. Alifanov

Type species is Lamaceratops tereschenkoi

Herbivorous

Not enough fossils to know how big it was, but we may be able to guess based on Bagaceratops

Bagaceratops was roughly the size of a medium sized dog about 1m (3ft) long & under 100lbs

Not everyone thinks Lamaceratops is a valid genus, and some think the fossils found could be referred to Bagaceratops (since the fossils for both are very similar), though Lamaceratops could also be a new species of Bagaceratops

Talk about Bagaceratops in episode 72 (small, probably cute dinosaur)

Part of the family Bagaceratopsidae, a group of dinosaurs with parrot-like beaks that lived in the Cretaceous in what is now Asia

Fun Fact:

Some dinosaur fossils are radioactive.
