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 ...

A recent study has identified Quaestio simpsonorum, a 555-million-year-old asymmetrical animal found in Australia’s Nilpena Ediacara National Park. This creature, which moved like a primitive vacuum cleaner, featured a unique backward question-mark shape on its back, representing a significant evolutionary development. Fossilised tracks suggest i...

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...

Four thousand years ago, the last woolly mammoths lived on Wrangel Island, situated off the coast of present-day Siberia. Traditionally, it was believed that their remote location led to inbreeding, which was thought to be the primary cause of their extinction. However, recent research challenges this notion. A study reveals new insights into the m...

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...

Recent findings have unveiled Ontocetus posti, an extinct walrus-like mammal that lived 2.2 million years ago. Led by Dr. Mathieu Boisville from the University of Tsukuba, this discovery, made from fossils found in Norwich, UK, and Antwerp, Belgium, provides fresh insights into the evolutionary history of walruses. Initially misidentified, the foss...

In a discovery akin to stepping back into the ancient world, Israeli scientists uncovered a new species of flea preserved in amber. This remarkable find offers a rare glimpse into the distant past, approximately 99 million years ago.

This discovery in Montouliers, a town neighboring the fossil-rich village of Cruzy, has led researchers to a new area of potential dinosaur remains.

In 2011, a 13-year-old fossil enthusiast discovered a walrus skull in northern California. Eleven years later, a paleontologist named the extinct species after him.

Lawyers claim the accused purchased, relocated, and exported dinosaur bones from federal territory for five years, from March 2018 to March 2023.

The fossil was discovered in Mallorca a few years ago and has been named after Josep Juerez, the man who found it during a palaeontological survey.

A new species of dinosaur has been discovered by a retired doctor in Britain. It has been named Brighstoneus Simmondsi.

Fossils, possibly of a mammal from the Ice Age some 14,000 years ago, were recently discovered in a Las Vegas backyard during the construction of a pool. Experts say it could be a horse or a similar mammal.

Why did a group of 39 baby dinosaurs die together around 125 million years ago? A dinosaur fossil on display in the Paleontological Museum of Liaoning province can reveal the secret.

Vegetables consumed by herbivore dinosaurs 150 million years ago had a higher nutritional value than the ones human beings consume in the polluted environment of the 21st century.
