These remains are often thousands of years old and clearly predate European contact. The problem has always been proof. Bones can suggest disease, but they cannot confirm exactly which infection caused the damage. This is where genetics makes a...

Credit: Scientific Reports While other prehistoric groups, including pterosaurs and theropods, also possessed pneumatic bones, their neck lengths were significantly more modest, often peaking at roughly 6 to 9 feet. In contrast, sauropods achieved...

University of the São Francisco Valley who led the study, realized the significance of the find when he observed that the bones were buried eight meters deep, placing them squarely in the transition period between the Lower and Upper Cretaceous....

but never received a definitive taxonomic assignment. The specimen was subsequently stored among thousands of rocks and bones in the BAS geological collections in Cambridge, where it lay largely unnoticed for decades. A recent re‑examination has...

chemistry has effectively erased the physical evidence of those who died with the ship. Decades of Exploration Yield No Bones Renowned filmmaker James Cameron has completed 33 dives to the wreckage, spending more time on the site than the ship’s...

these rapid inundation events likely caused the fractures seen in the holotype specimen, though the surface integrity of the bones remains remarkably well-preserved. Geological map of southern France showing the fossil discovery site near...

Ghent Archaeological Service Artifacts linked to the later garrison—such as glass vessels, fragments of wine bottles, animal bones, seeds, and pollen—were recovered from waterlogged deposits. The lack of oxygen in the saturated soil slowed the decay of...

Researchers discover a hidden population of bone marrow cells that revives an embryonic pathway to build specialized macrophages and red blood cells independently of standard monocyte recruitment. Adult bone marrow harbors a newly discovered cell type...

the find was significantly more ancient. As the site was cleared, the true scale of the find became apparent. The bones belong to Dasosaurus tocantinensis, a previously unknown long-necked dinosaur that reached an estimated 20 meters in length, making...

Tinnitus causes ringing, buzzing, or pulsating sounds in the ears. Learn about its causes, symptoms, diagnosis methods, and effective treatment options. Tinnitus is a common yet frequently unsettling experience in which a person hears sounds no one...

are found inland and have been studied for decades. The Cretaceous record, however, is much thinner. Very few dinosaur bones from this later time period have been found in southern Africa. Footprints are even rarer. That is what makes these tracks...

linked the diminutive hominin to active hunting of the dwarf elephant Stegodon florensis insularis, largely because Stegodon bones and Homo floresiensis remains were found together at Liang Bua Cave. The new investigation, published in Science Advances,...

Researchers uncover a brain‑gut‑bone marrow pathway in mice, offering new ideas to shield immunity from chronic stress. Researchers have identified a previously unknown communication route linking the brain, gut and bone marrow in mice, offering a...

Scientists tested dinosaur bones like bridges, discovering why only young dinos could stand upright—an unexpected size‑and‑age limit explains the mystery. A new analysis of titanosaur fossils indicates that several sauropod species could lift their...

The discovery of fourteen dinosaur bones in Spain challenges long-held beliefs, suggesting a species thought exclusive to America traveled much further. Paleontologists in Spain have identified the first confirmed fossils of Diplodocus ever discovered...

Ancient fossil bones from Colombia reveal evidence of massive crocodilians hunting giant mammals, offering a rare glimpse into an intense prehistoric ecosystem. Paleontologists have uncovered the first direct physical evidence that massive crocodylians...

Researchers in southern China have unearthed ancient bones that challenge long-standing theories about how prehistoric giants migrated across the globe. The discovery of a newly identified dinosaur species in southern China is providing paleontologists...

of dogs. Compact Predator Built for Quick Strikes Workers at John Day Fossil Beds National Monument unearthed the bones in the late 1980s on BLM‑managed land. Initial assessments mistook the remains for an oreodont—a group once described by Anne Kort as...

Explore the common applications of flow cytometry in hematology, including immunophenotyping, diagnosing leukemias and lymphomas, monitoring HIV infection, and more. Flow cytometry is a sophisticated and essential technology widely utilized in the...

genomic sequencing on a subset of bovine remains. The findings, detailed in the journal Current Biology, confirm that these bones belong to a unique bovine lineage that thrived alongside the site’s human occupants. A look at where ancient yak remains...
