A rostral beak, a highly keratinized tissue covering the perioral region of the skull, has been hypothesized for many sauropodomorphs and eusauropods over the past few decades by several authors, base...

Nineteenth century excavations of the Ciply-Malogne Phosphatic Chalk Formation in Hainaut, Belgium, yielded over 50 partial mosasaur skeletons, the majority of which were referred to the species Mosa....

In 1946 Gilmore observed that the Hell Creek Formation component of the larger TT-zone of the late Maastrichtian contained more tyrannosaur taxa than just titanic Tyrannosaurus rex, based on a small, ...

Save the Sternberg Museum of Natural History from Closure

The scientific community in Philadelphia and concerned neighbors are calling on Drexel University to keep the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia’s public-facing museum open beyond their impos...

Recent decades have witnessed an unprecedented rise in avian fossil discoveries that directly inform our understanding of bird origins and evolution, the stepwise assemblage of the avian body plan,...

Gedman, Morril-Pirovich, et al. reconstruct the most complete and high-coverage dire wolf genome to date from ancient DNA using iterative and pangenome approaches. The authors find evidence supporting...

Blood flow rates to long bones of archosaurs reveal high aerobic metabolic rates and endothermy throughout most of their evolutionary history

It's been known for years that there are oviraptor-like dinosaurs found in the Hell Creek Formation. We find isolated elements mostly. A pub...

The dinosaur fossil record from Mexico is sparsely documented since most of it is fragmentary remains with little taxonomic information and a lot of it conti...

By using fossil teeth, scientists measured T. rex’s body temperature for the first time. They found evidence of an active, warm-blooded predator.

Hotter than a crocodile, cooler than a chicken, T. Rex was definitely warm-blooded, according to a new study.

Despite an extensive history of study, quantitative constraints on the thermophysiology of Tyrannosaurus rex remain limited. Here, we derive a thermodynamically based determination of T. rex body temp...

Abstract. Dinosaur egg remains are rarely found in areas of high palaeolatitudes, with Canada (approx. 57–60° N) and Siberia (approx. 70–75° N) yielding th

Evidence from Bianfu Cave shows specialized hunting, expedient stone-tool production and extensive bone use of Denisovans, providing new insights into their ecology, behaviour and cultural legacy in e...

Troodontid theropod dinosaurs from the Campanian of western North America have historically been known from fragmentary remains. This limited material has made understanding the biology and taxonomy o...
