Fossilised Dinosaur Droppings Could Reveal Secrets Behind Their Evolution into a Dominant Species, Says Study
A study published in Nature has analysed 200-million-year-old fossilised dinosaur faeces (coprolites), uncovering critical insights into early ecosystems. According to researchers, coprolites contained undigested plant matter, prey remains, and even charcoal, offering a glimpse into dinosaur diets and environmental conditions during the Late Triass...

Scientists Plan To Recreate Extinct Creatures Like Dinosaurs As Robots
Researchers hope these robotic recreations will enhance our understanding of the natural world and evolutionary history.

Cretaceous Dinosaur That Could Run Faster with Wings Discovered
A recent study on the small dinosaur Dromaeosauriformipes rarus reveals that it may have utilized its wings to achieve remarkable running speeds of up to 38 kilometers per hour. Analyzing fossilized footprints, researchers found evidence that challenges traditional views on dinosaur flight evolution. This discovery suggests that the ability to fly ...

Scientists Unearth Fossil Of Bizarre Creature That Had Dinosaur's Head And Bird's Body
A bizarre creature that lived in China around 120 million years ago had a dinosaur's head and a bird's body, a study published in Nature Ecology & Evolution revealed.

Sharks' Diversity Remained Static When End-Cretaceous Mass Extinction Wiped Out Dinosaurs: Study
Researchers say that the survival and evolution of sharks through multiple mass extinctions received little analytical attention. A new study has now attempted to shed some light on their evolution during the catastrophic event. The researchers studied the morphology of 1,239 fossil shark teeth to see how their diversity was affected during the mas...

Fossils From Europe Cast Doubt On Human Lineage Originating In Africa
The creature known only from a lower jawbone and an isolated tooth, may be the oldest-known member of the human lineage that began after an evolutionary split from the line that led to chimpanzees.

The Oldest Known Relative Of Dinosaurs Was A Total Freak, Experts Say
The 245-million-year-old fossils were some of the strangest ones Sterling Nesbitt had ever seen. Their bodies looked like crocodiles - stout and muscular, with four sturdy legs. But their necks and tails were unusually long, and the bones bore certain markings only found in dinosaurs.

Mammals Were Almost Wiped Out With The Dinosaurs
Over 90 per cent of mammal species were wiped out by the same asteroid that killed the dinosaurs 66 million years ago, significantly more than previously thought, according to a new study.

Rare Dinosaur Fossil Fills In Missing Pieces Of Evolution
The discovery of a 75-million-year-old dinosaur fossil in 2010 from Canada's Dinosaur Provincial Park in Alberta has now provided scientists an opportunity to fill in gaps in the evolution of other horned dinosaurs, such as Triceratops.

The Shrinking Evolution That Turned T-Rex to Tweety: Study
A branch of large, lumbering dinosaurs shrank over just 50 million years of evolution to become today's modern birds, a study showed on Thursday.

'Four-Winged' Dinosaur Sheds Light on Evolution of Birds
The fossil of a strange dinosaur with four feathery wing-like appendages, unearthed in China, could provide clues to the origins of birds, scientists said on Tuesday.
