Dinosaur Fossil Discovered

For the first time, Hong Kong has discovered dinosaur fossils, marking a significant moment for palaeontology in the region. The fossil, found on Port Island in a UNESCO-listed geopark, dates back to the Cretaceous period. Experts believe the fragments may belong to a larger skeleton. The find opens new research possibilities, and the fossils will ...

Scientists have discovered dinosaur fossils in Hong Kong for the first time, the city's government announcement on Wednesday, adding that the species remains unknown.

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 have discovered a new duck-billed dinosaur species in Mexico, named Coahuilasaurus lipani. The fossil, originally misclassified, shows unique features like a large snout and tooth-like projections, suggesting the dinosaur fed on tough plants in its tropical habitat. The discovery adds to the growing understanding that dinosaurs in the re...

In an extraordinary turn of events, 10-year-old Tegan’s beach outing in South Wales led to the remarkable discovery of dinosaur footprints dating back over 200 million years. While exploring Lavernock Point in the Vale of Glamorgan, Tegan and her mother Claire stumbled upon five large footprints, which palaeontologists believe were made by a came...

Torrential rains causing historic flooding in southern Brazil have revealed a "very well-preserved" dinosaur fossil dating back some 200 million years, according to the research team who discovered it.

The fossil remains of a plant-eating dinosaur estimated to have roamed the earth some 125 million years ago have been discovered on England's Isle of Wight.

The discovery has now been turned into a documentary narrated by Sir Sam Neill, who famously portrayed Dr Alan Grant in the Jurassic Park films.

Researchers in China have discovered a previously unknown dinosaur species alongside dozens of its unhatched eggs.

The creature might have lacked the ability to fly and it also doesn't seem to conform to the accepted bird-evolution story.

A giant crocodile-faced dinosaur, discovered on the Isle of Wight by one of Britain's best fossil hunters, was probably the largest predator ever to stalk Europe, scientists said on Thursday.

A preserved leg of a dinosaur thought to have been the first fossil linked to the catastrophic asteroid event that wiped out the dinosaurs, has been found. The limb has skin still attached to it.

The extinction of dinosaurs took place about 66 million years ago but we are yet to know the full impact of the asteroid that wiped out this species. Scientists are still studying the disaster and continuously unearthing new aspects of the devastating impact. Now, researchers say that if the asteroid's trajectory had been slightly different, it wou...

Researchers have now discovered the biggest and most complete dinosaur skeleton ever found in the country at the site. Fossils of 11 dinosaurs have been unearthed at Villaggio del Pescatore, a former limestone quarry close to the north-eastern port city of Trieste. The skeletons belong to the species Tethyshadros insularis, which lived 80 million y...

A new species of dinosaur has been discovered in southern Chile. This species had a uniquely shaped armoured tail. Named Stegouros elengassen, it featured a large flat tail and at the end of it, seven pairs of blades.
