Show Notes

In this episode, we continue or exploration of sites in Texas' Hill Country that illustrate how fossils can reveal the behavior of extinct species. The geological setting of fossils can tell us a huge amount about how they interacted with their environemnts, as illustrated by a spectacular site in Waco. Then, we head up to the heart of the Hill Country to walk in the footsteps of dinosaurs, one of the types of trace fossils that provide some of the most direct information about behavior.
