Join Adele and Dr Kailah Thorn, the Australian lizard queen on an odyssey through the fossil skink record! We discuss the indestructible shingleback lizards, fieldwork at Lake Frome, lizards bulldozing through fields of flowers and the biggest skink from Australia, Tiliqua frangens aka the mega chonk.
Plus facts on Proegernia mikebulli, the the oldest skink ever found in Australia and an ancestor to the modern bluetongue from the Oligocene (25 million years old), as well as Egernia gillespieae named after fossil preparator Dr Anna Gillespie
