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...

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...
