unprecedented glimpse into the brain structure of a creature that lived between 85 and 75 million years ago, during the Late Cretaceous. The specimen, described in a recent Nature paper, preserves a remarkably complete skull, enabling scientists to...

research in the Journal of Paleontology had established that substantial octobrachiate cephalopods inhabited the Late Cretaceous North Pacific, the current study provides significant new detail on their behavior and evolutionary timeline. Panel B shows...

of feathers within the coprolite is particularly significant, as such delicate structures are rarely found in the Late Cretaceous fossil record. According to co-author Gregory Wilson Mantilla of the University of Washington, these specimens offer an...

ectothermic competitors might struggle. Climate models suggest that T. rex could have comfortably inhabited much of Late Cretaceous North America, including higher latitudes where winters were significantly colder. Climate models reveal where T. rex...

The hoard contains fragments of hadrosaurs, ornithomimosaurs, and various theropods, all of which date back to the Late Cretaceous period, roughly 65 to 70 million years ago, when they inhabited the lush floodplains of the ancient Gobi Desert. Museum...

A chance discovery on a farm has led to a decade-long paleontological mystery, revealing that a prehistoric giant was hiding in plain sight all along. What began as a routine day for Queensland farmers Robyn and Stuart Mackenzie—navigating their...

Explore the key differences between angiosperms and gymnosperms, their unique characteristics, and examples of each group. Learn about angiosperm plants, their diversity, and how they compare to gymnosperms. Angiosperms, commonly referred to as...

New fossil evidence reveals that some of the largest dinosaurs thrived in surprisingly cold climates, defying long-held beliefs about their nesting habits. New evidence uncovered in the rugged landscapes of southern Argentina suggests that titanosaurs,...
