The podcast’s logo was inspired by a fossil of the marine crocodile Steneosaurus bollensis. It lived during the Jurassic Period in Europe and swam with other marine reptiles like ichthyosaurs and plesiosaurs. The sea’s anoxic bottom minimized decomposing and shunned scavengers leaving it to be perfectly intact. As such, mud would slowly bury the animal where it eventually fossilized and then uncovered millions of years later. This is the basis for the Posidonia Shale Lagerstätte which has fossils of birthing ichthyosaurs and tremendously large crinoids.
