Dorset's Fossil Forest: A Jurassic Landscape Preserved by Microbial Fossilisation
The Fossil Forest in Dorset, England, preserves tree stumps from the late Jurassic period through unique microbial fossilisation. Found along the Jurassic Coast, these remains showcase the ancient Protocupressinoxylon cypress species and offer insight into prehistoric ecosystems. Rising sea levels submerged the forest, but microbes encased the root...

Continent Merger, Deadly Heat May Lead To Human Extinction: Study
Extreme temperatures in future may potentially lead to the first mass extinction on Earth since the dinosaurs, a new study has revealed.

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...

Fossils Being Formed Today Will Show How Humans Disrupted Life On Earth
When we think of fossils it is usually of dinosaurs, or perhaps the beautiful spiral shape of an ammonite picked up on a beach during a summer holiday.

If Dinosaurs Hadn't Gone Extinct, How Would Our World Look? Read On
Sixty-six million years ago, an asteroid hit the Earth with the force of 10 billion atomic bombs and changed the course of evolution. The skies darkened and plants stopped photosynthesising. The plants died, then the animals that fed on them.

Fossils Show World-Wide Catastrophe On The Day Dinosaurs Died
Sixty-six million years ago, a massive asteroid crashed into a shallow sea near Mexico. The impact carved out a 90-mile-wide crater and flung mountains of earth into space. Earthbound debris fell to the planet in droplets of molten rock and glass.
