Fossils of Dinosaur With Armoured Plate and Bony Spikes Found, Could Withstand Impacts From Car Crash
Borealopelta markmitchelli, an armoured dinosaur from the Early Cretaceous, possessed highly durable keratin armour. A recent study reveals that its armour was capable of withstanding impacts equivalent to modern car crashes. This robust structure, a thick keratin sheath over bony plates, likely served both for predator protection and for combat am...

Colossal Meteorite Impact 3 Billion Years Ago May Have Boosted Early Life on Earth
Around 3.26 billion years ago, a giant meteorite, 200 times larger than the one that killed the dinosaurs, struck Earth. This impact stirred up nutrients from the ocean floor, like phosphorus and iron, that may have given early microbes a much-needed boost. While the event was likely catastrophic for some life forms, it also created opportunities f...
