The perfect Valentine's dinosaur -- a massive Titanosaur!
A historical example of how classifying a species can sometimes be very confusing.
Some scientists say it was more a bird than a dinosaur.
The newly discovered archosaur provides new hints into dinosaur evolution.
It's like Disneyworld for paleontologists.
This could change a paleontology book or two.
IT'S. SO. TINY!
Life, uhm, finds a way.
A new long-necked dinosaur discovered in China is forcing scientists to rethink sauropod evolution.
In fact, all ankylosaurs were!
Put that tongue back in, Jurassic Park!
We don't know much about how life bounces back after such a dramatic event.
Talk about ancient dandruff.
Ignorance at its finest.
Not all dino teeth are made the same...
The fossil found on a UK beach used to belong to an ancient behemoth.
These tracks lead to a different world.
It's always about sex, isn't it?
It was a devastating one-two punch.
The tracks were made over 100 million years ago.
This isn't the last piece of the puzzle -- in fact, it's the very first.
New technology, meet old fossils.
They say don't put your eggs in one basket, but what about putting your eggs in the same bedrock?
The 150-million-year-old dinosaur tracks are excellently preserved.
The extinction event that wiped out the dinosaurs left many empty niches for the mammals' taking.
T. Rex's forearms don't look that clumsy anymore.
Earth's average surface air temperature droppped by as much as a staggering 26 degrees Celsius.
It was quite the rascal.
Paleontologists hope that this will inspire a new generation
The idea of a gentle giant is called into question.
It's all about passing on your genes.
He was probably a gentle giant. Accent on giant.
Dinosaur videos are always relevant for science fans.
The dinosaur was given a rather unfair name, as it was almost certainly a peaceful vegetarian.
There's a lot to be grateful for the first mammalian ancestors who evolved side-to-side chewing.
A remarkable 'terrible-headed lizard' fossil found in China shows an embryo inside the mother -- a clear evidence that some dinosaurs were giving birth to live babies.
Finding fossilized remains of dinosaurs is one thing, but now, paleontologists have discovered proteins dating back to 195 million years ago.
Utilizing rigorous, state-of-the-art methods researchers have confirmed the presence of collagen in the fossil of an 80-million-year-old Brachylophosaurus.
They named it the Mud Dragon.
Dinosaurs ruled the Earth for millions of years, but they took it slowly.
We didn't even think it was possible to find one up to now.
Some 60 million years ago, one dinosaur laid down to rest -- creating something unique in the whole of Europe.
We don't know how dinosaurs sounded like but I'll tell you this much: they didn't honk.
A titanic footprint from a titan of a beast.
There's only one fossil of this dinosaur that we ever found -- and you're looking at it.
Paleontologists have discovered two new triceratops relatives that simply looked amazing. One had two forward-curving spikes running from the back of its shield, in addition to the classic triceratops horns, while the other sported beautiful coloring akin to butterfly camouflage, but also a tragic life story.
A surprising study found that a group of ancient lizards called mosasaurs were in fact warm-blooded.
Sauropods, or some titanosaurs at least, were not the best parents. A recent analysis of juvenile fossils belonging to a titanosaur species called Rapetosaurus krausei suggests babies were left to fend for themselves and find food since they hatched, with little if any weaning.
When he was only 13 years old, Scott Persons was led to a sandstone slope right next to the Glenrock Paleon Museum, Wyoming. The museum's curator gently brushed away at an intended spot and soon enough three uncanny dinosaur tracks revealed themselves to Persons, who was dumbstruck at the sight. Many years later, Persons -- now a doctoral student in paleontology -- returned to the site, studied it extensively along with colleagues and made a scientific report of the three dinosaur tracks carved in the stone by the eons. As it turns out, these findings belong to a tyrannosaur and are absolutely unique.
One of the most important open questions in paleobiology today is whether dinosaurs were cold-blooded or warm-blooded. Their appearance suggests dinosaurs had a low metabolic rate, lazying around, charging at the sun much like modern reptiles like crocodiles. At the same time, their direct descendants are warm-blooded birds. Unfortunately, you can’t stick a thermometer up […]
