I had a great chat with vertebrate paleontologist, Ben Francisschelli.

Ben is a vertebrate paleontologist from Melbourne, Australia, where he’s hunting for the remains of the biggest predators that have ever existed. From diving underwater locating whale skulls to launching expeditions in quarries that look like moonscapes, he’s working with a group of incredible citizen scientists to secure this material for the state collection.
