How do you learn about the social behaviour of animals that have been extinct for millions of years? Palaeontologist David Hone discusses what the fossil record can – and can’t – tell us about how the dinosaurs lived. Piecing together the behaviour of long extinct groups is naturally very difficult, but can be done with care. New fossil from the Gobi deserts of Mongolia are helping us work out how these animals lived and died together. Sadly part 3 (a lecture by Jon Butterworth) of this 3-part 'Dinosaurs, epigenetics and the Higgs' has not been recorded.
