Unearth the real behaviours of prehistoric animals as we join acclaimed palaeontologist, author and TV presenter Dr Dean Lomax on a remarkable journey through the grand cycle of life in deep time.

Focusing on the direct evidence of astonishing behaviours recorded in some of the world’s most extraordinary and unusual fossils, Dr Lomax provides a glimpse into the real-world stories of prehistoric parenting, the quest for survival and the endless struggle between predator and prey.

From fighting dinosaurs to mosasaur mealtimes and a two-headed fossil reptile, these unbelievable fossils challenge what we thought we knew about the prehistoric world. Based on Dr Lomax’s new book, we are given a unique view of the private moments of long-extinct creatures as never before.

The talk will be followed by a Q&A and a book signing with the author and illustrator.
