According to a new study published in Journal of Mammalian Evolution, two newly unearthed fossil specimens add important information to our collective knowledge of carnivorous mammals.
More mammals were living on the ground several million years before the mass extinction event that wiped out the dinosaurs, new research led by the University of Bristol has revealed.
3D modeling shows how larger brains triggered changes in jaw muscles and joint mechanics that powered a flexible feeding system for modern birds.
Misha lived her whole life in zoos, but this elephant鈥檚 teeth are now helping scientists reconstruct wildlife migrations. University of Utah geologists show how strontium isotopes found in teeth or tusks reveal where large plant-eating animals may have roamed.
A new scientific study provides many new insights into the biology of the prehistoric gigantic shark, Megalodon or megatooth shark, which lived nearly worldwide 15-3.6 million years ago. Paleobiology professor Kenshu Shimada of DePaul University led the study along with 28 other shark, fossil, and vertebrate anatomy experts around the globe.
Something BIG is coming this spring to New York, as Dinosaur Safari returns with a roar to the Bronx Zoo! Guests will get up close with some of the largest animals to ever walk the Earth, including more than 60 life-size animatronic dinosaurs and pterosaurs, as Dinosaur Safari opens to the public on Saturday, April 12.
A new study by an international team of scholars, including faculty at Binghamton University, State University of New York, suggests that Neanderthals experienced a dramatic loss of genetic variation during the course of their evolution, foreshadowing their eventual extinction.
Large birds 鈥� our closest relations to dinosaurs - are capable of technical innovation, by solving a physical task to gain access to food.
New research from Northern Arizona University shows that the evolution of fruit鈥攁nd the evolution of fruit-eating primates, the early ancestors of humans鈥攚as influenced by the 鈥渆cosystem engineering鈥� of large sauropods.
An international team of researchers reports on unique bird skull in "Palaeontologia Electronica". The flightless bird called Diatryma roamed the Geiseltal region in southern Saxony-Anhalt in Germany around 45 million years ago. The only other place that a similar skull fossil has been found is the USA.
A newly described dinosaur whose fossils were uncovered by University of Wisconsin鈥揗adison paleontologists is challenging the existing narrative, with evidence that the reptiles were present in the northern hemisphere millions of years earlier than previously known.
A storeroom specimen that changed the origins of modern lizards by millions of years has had its identity confirmed.
A 15-year study of a site in Bolivia by an international team led by Case Western Reserve University provides a comprehensive view of an ancient ecosystem when the Earth was much warmer than today
The discovery of new cynodont fossils from southern Brazil by a team of palaeontologists from the University of Bristol, alongside colleagues from Argentina and Brazil, has led to a significant breakthrough in understanding the evolution of mammals.
By analyzing foram shells recovered in drill cores, a study led by University of Utah geologists links rapid climate change that led to thermal maxima 50 million years ago to rising CO2 levels.
The most complete dinosaur discovered in this country in the last 100 years, with a pubic hip bone the size of a 鈥榙inner plate鈥�, has been described in a new paper published today.
The age of dinosaurs wasn鈥檛 conducted solely above ground. A newly discovered ancestor of Thescelosaurus shows evidence that these animals spent at least part of their time in underground burrows. The new species contributes to a fuller understanding of life during the mid-Cretaceous 鈥� both above and below ground.
The 6,000 square foot facility will feature fossil preparation space, multipurpose areas for community programs, and tons of specimens collected from Sereno鈥檚 worldwide expeditions.
3D reconstructions of thousands specimens are now available online.
Until recently, Orthacanthus gracilis could have been considered the 鈥淛ohn Smith鈥� of prehistoric shark names, given how common it was. Three different species of sharks from the late Paleozoic Era 鈥� about 310 million years ago 鈥� were mistakenly given that same name, causing lots of grief to paleontologists who studied and wrote about the sharks through the years and had trouble keeping them apart.
