## Resource

The Fossils Files are on Tour! Susie and Rob are in Birmingham for the massive Society of Vertebrate Paleontology conference which has made a rare trip to Europe. We will be meeting and chatting with palaeontologists from all over the world and bringing you the latest discoveries and hot gossip. On day 1 we join the Nanotyrannus craze and chat to co-author of that study, James Napoli of Stoney Brook NY. The amazing "Duelling Dinos" specimen has been released the world by the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences and has sent dinosaur fans aflutter with its implications for tyrannosaurs. We also catch with Yara Haridy of the University of Chicago. She has been revealing lots of new insights into vertebrate origins and evolution with high powered synchrotron analyses. With also catch up Steve Brussatte of the University of Edinburgh as a preview of a longer episode coming up.
