Palaeontologist

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...

The clonal fragmentation allowed the organism to produce genetically identical offspring by breaking off parts of its own body and re-growing them - the process is called fissiparity.

The dinosaur, which was first discovered in the 1990s in the US state of Wyoming, was initially restored in 2000 by palaeontologist Barry James.

Palaeontologists in South Africa said Monday they have found the oldest known burial site in the world, containing remains of a small-brained distant relative of humans previously thought incapable of complex behaviour.

The heart is S-shaped and has two chambers, which led researchers to draw similarities between the fish and modern sharks.

Polish palaeontologists recently named a 150 million-year-old marine invertebrate after Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky. The well-preserved and complete fossil of the bizarre creature was discovered in Africa.

A team of palaeontologists has unearthed the bones of a dinosaur in Queensland, Australia. The discovered parts of spine, scientists said, could belong to a new species altogether and may well be the youngest dinosaur discovered in Australia to date.

Palaeontologists in Chile have announced the discovery of a new species of dinosaurs in the country's Atacama Desert. The Arackar Licanantay belongs to the gigantic titanosaur dinosaur family.

The picture, clicked by palaeontologist Yara Haridy at the Dinosaur National Park, has a common sagebrush lizard hiding in plain sight.

"Amber hunters" on a quest for a Jurassic Park-style discovery of dinosaur remains sift through mounds of the precious resin in Myanmar -- a lucrative trade that captivates palaeontologists but also fuels a decades-long conflict in the far north.

An alert 10-year-old has impressed many after pointing out a mistake made by palaeontologists at London's Natural History Museum.

Researchers have discovered the partial tail of a feathered dinosaur that was preserved in amber some 99 million years ago, according to a study released Thursday.

A team of palaeontologists working in China has unearthed the fossil remains of the winged dinosaur - a close cousin of the Velociraptor - which was made famous by the "Jurassic Park" film series.

Brontosaurus, also called the thunder lizard, is different from Apatosaurus and can be reinstated as its own unique genus, a latest research reveals.

For the first time in three decades, palaeontologists are about to revisit one of North America's most remarkable troves of ancient fossils: The bones of tens of thousands of animals piled at the bottom of a sinkhole-type cave.
