We’re in the middle of our Fall Fundraising campaign which we call “Drive Time,” so instead of taking your new phone calls today, we’re re-airing some old calls we’ve gotten on our pet days so far in 2024. Dr. Majure, Libby Hartfield, and Kevin Farrell are all grateful to you for listening and supporting us on the show. If you enjoy this show and other local programs MPB Think Radio airs throughout the week, consider donating to MPB. If you call in regularly, we appreciate you contributing to the show, but today we ask you to contribute in a different type of way. It’s really easy and it only takes about 3 minutes of your time. Call or text the word give to the number 888-372-4483, or click the donate now button at mpbonline.org. Thanks for listening – and giving – to MPB Think Radio.

Many people have an interest in prehistoric creatures from a young age. Lucky for us here in Mississippi, the grounds and waters are rich with fossils, bones, and other remains from past times. Our guest for the day is the returning George Phillips, paleontology curator at the Mississippi Museum of Natural Science, who joins to share updates on the current research being done on what is left of these ancient animals.
