Discovery · The Life Scientific: Dean Lomax · 15 Jun 2026 podcast

And he was going around the class saying, what do you want to do?

And he came to me and I said, I want to be a paleontologist.

And he said, well, where's the best place in the world for this?

So I said, in America.

You know, American Midwest is kind of dinosaur country.

There's lots of dinosaurs found out there.

And so, long story short, I put together with the help of Mr. Bonacorsi a letter and just reached out to a bunch of places in America.

And as a result, I was offered a place to go and volunteer at a museum in America, the Wyoming Dinosaur Center, for almost four months.

And they did say, we'll put you up in what they had, like an intern volunteer house.

But I needed the money to get there.

So I ended up selling a bunch of my possessions.

And that included my beloved Star Wars collection and other things to fund that trip.

Yeah, that's exactly it.

Yeah.

So we were shown kind of a whole load of different dig sites.

And they took me to one where they'd been excavating, I think, for about a month or two before I was there.

And probably within the space of half an hour, I'd uncovered quite a large bone.

And so I had one of the other paleontologists come and take a look at it.

And we continued to excavate it over the coming days.

And it was a huge femur of a sauropod dinosaur, one of those long-necked, long-tailed dinosaurs, something like a Diplodocus.
