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.
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 groundbreaking University of Bristol study has shed light on how lizards and snakes -the most diverse group of land vertebrates with nearly 12,000 species - have evolved remarkably varied jaw shapes, driving their extraordinary ecological success.
Hongjun Lin from New York University will present results on the acoustic characteristics of a physical model of the Parasaurolophus鈥� crest as part of the virtual 187th ASA Meeting. Lin created a physical setup made of tubes to represent a mathematical model that will allow researchers to discover what was happening acoustically inside the crest.
Fossils recovered from Utah's West Desert and held in the Natural History Museum of Utah offer new insights into the origins of vertebrate life during the Cambrian Period.
Now, scientists report in ACS Central Science that the unique tenacity of collagen in dinosaur skeletons may result from a molecular structure that shields these vulnerable bonds from attack by water that鈥檚 present in the environment.
An international team led by SMU paleontologist Louis L. Jacobs has found matching sets of Early Cretaceous dinosaur footprints on what are now two different continents. In terms of their geological and tectonic plates contexts, these dinosaur fossils were found to be almost identical.
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 Natural History Museum of Utah announced Lokiceratops rangiformis, the largest and most ornate horned dino ever found. Its distinctive horn pattern inspired its name, "Loki鈥檚 horned face that looks like a caribou."
For centuries, scientists thought they knew where the griffin legend came from. A new study takes a closer look at the data and folklore鈥檚 influence on science.
Long-necked herbivorous dinosaurs, known as sauropodomorphs, a group of mainly bipedal dinosaurs that lived some 210 million years ago in the Late Triassic, provide a common image of the age of dinosaurs in the minds of people.
Researchers have discovered sustained hunting by humans prevented the woolly rhinoceros from accessing favourable habitats as Earth warmed following the Last Ice Age.
A large fossil discovery has helped shed light on the history of dinosaurs in Wales.
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.
Dinosaurs were as smart as reptiles but not as intelligent as monkeys, as former research suggests.
New description of a 鈥榙warf鈥� pareiasaur from the Karoo Basin
When the skeletal remains of a giant ground sloth were first unearthed in 1796, the discovery marked one of the earliest paleontological finds in American history.
Nearly 400 exceptionally well-preserved fossils dating back 470 million years have been discovered in the south of France by two amateur paleontologists.
