Dr

Dr. Adam Pritchard, assistant curator of paleontology, may be hunkered down at home for the time being, but he's still determined to bring the wonders and knowledge of paleontology to VMNH audiences through his informative and fun video series titled "Tales of Ancient Life"!

In this episode of "Tales of Ancient Life", Dr. Pritchard discusses an intriguing animal from the Triassic period - a time between 252 million and 200 million years ago - that is noted as the beginning of the age of reptiles.

For young scientists watching, be sure to watch until the end, as Dr. Pritchard has a couple of science assignments you can complete at home related to the information shared in this latest episode of "Tales of Ancient Life"!
