Paleontology & Fossils

Researchers in Zimbabwe have found the remaining parts of Africa's most seasoned dinosaur, which wandered the earth around quite a while back. The dinosaur, named Mbiresaurus raathi, was something like one meter (3.2 feet) tall, with a long tail, and gauged as much as 30 kilograms (66 pounds), as per the global group of scientists that made the disclosure. "It went around on two legs and had a tiny head," Christopher Griffin, the researcher who uncovered the primary bone, told AFP on Thursday. Likely an omnivore that ate plants, little creatures, and bugs, the dinosaur has a place with the

Another review disproves a provocative case made recently that fossils named after the dinosaur Tyrannosaurus rex address three separate species. The counter, distributed today in the journal Evolutionary Biology and driven by scientists at the American Museum of Natural History and Carthage College, finds that the previous proposition needs adequate proof to separate the famous species. "Tyrannosaurus rex remains the only true lord of the dinosaurs," said focus co-creator Steve Brusatte, a scientist at the University of Edinburgh who directed his Ph.D. research at the Museum."As of late, a striking hypothesis was declared with much pomp: what we call T.

The revelation of panda fossils in China has assisted scientists with settling the secret of how the monster species fostered a "bogus thumb" and turned into the main devoted vegan in the bear family. Fossils going back around 6,000,000 years found in southwest China's Yunnan region incorporated an enormously extended wrist bone called a spiral sesamoid. Researchers collaborated on an investigation paper that was published in the most recent issue of Scientific Reports. The fossils are associated with a now-extinct old relative of the panda known as an Ailurarcto, which lived in China six to a long time ago. "While

Large numbers of us know the regular hypothesis of how the dinosaurs passed on a long time back: in Earth's red hot crash with a shooting star, and a following worldwide winter as residue and trash gagged the air. Yet, there was a past termination, undeniably more strange and less examined: a long time back, which killed off the huge reptiles who up to that point managed the planet, and obviously made room for dinosaurs to dominate. What caused the alleged Triassic-Jurassic Extinction, and for what reason did dinosaurs flourish when different animals passed on? We realize that the world
