I hope you enjoy my interview with Dr. Mark P. Witton, researcher, paleoartist, and co-author of "Spinosaur Tales: the Biology and Ecology of the Spinosaurs". In it we discuss the current state of spinosaur research, the climate surrounding academia, mysteries paleontology has yet to solve, and more!
