Climate Change Could Have Helped Dinosaurs Migrate from South America to Greenland Written by AZoCleantechFeb 16 2021 A new article has refined the estimates of when herbivorous or plant eating dinosaurs could have crossed North America on a northerly journey to reach Greenland, and pointed out an interesting climatic occurrence that could have aided these animals along the voyage.

In their study, published Monday in the journal Proceeding...

Why did it take sauropods - the family of dinosaurs which includes the very biggest creatures ever to have walked the earth - so long to reach Greenland, from South America, where they first emerged? This question has long puzzled paleontologists, but new research suggests a major shift in the Earth’s climate allowed the migration. The sauropod family, which includes species such as the enormous titanosaur, patagotitan, diplodocus and...
