Running from Nanotyrannus Validity, and Other Halloween Classics - PaleoRewind October 2025

What's that? It's PaleoRewind time? You betcha!

During this epic event hosted by @EDGEscience, paleo YouTubers cover the major paleontology news from the year, month by month, and this year, ‪@EDGEscience‬ invited us to cover October!

A LOT happened in October, 2025 - from early squamates to a new fossil rhino to the one and only Nanotyrannus and SO much more...all said and done, we cover 11 publications in this video, and that's just a fraction of what October had to offer! (Psst, if you wanna learn about one more paper from October, subscribe to our Patreon! We have a bonus video about a DINOSAUR MUMMY going up for our members soon — https://www.patreon.com/cw/GeoSplore?... )

So we hope you'll stick around and have some fun with us while you learn what October had in store. And when you're done here, be sure to check out the rest of this year’s Paleo Rewind videos:
