To figure out how Thrinaxodon and Broomistega became entombed together, scientists looked at the burrow itself, along with their fossilized bones. And it looks like their luck ran out, when a behavior that usually would’ve helped them survive just didn’t work.

Special thanks to Julio Lacerda (  / juliotheartist  ) for the excellent Thrinaxodon and Broomistega illustrations for this episode!

And thanks to Fabrizio de Rossi (  / artoffabricious  ) for the Thrinaxodon illustration that originally appeared in our episode on synapsids:    • When the Synapsids Struck Back
