Meet Adele!

I’m your host palaeontologist and PhD student Adele Pentland. I went through a dinosaur phase as a kid and now its back with a vengeance.

I’m obsessed with everything to do with fossils, prehistoric animals and palaeobotany. I’m also a pop culture nerd, and can quote The Simpsons in almost any situation.

We’re here to have fun, and I want to show you that palaeontology isn’t just about dinosaurs and John Hammond look-a-likes wearing white lab coats.
