The remains of an unusual turtle were found embedded in the banks of the Puntledge River on Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. The discovery was made in January of this year by a fossil hunter named Russell Ball. The fossil, which is around 84 million years old, is believed to be an entirely new species. Read more » ....
A “talkative” dinosaur that lived about 73 million years ago has been unearthed in the Mexican state of Coahuila. Excavations revealed its tail, 80% of its skull, its crest that measured 1.32 meters (4.3 feet), and several bones including the shoulder and femur. Called Tlatolophus galorum, this large herbivore dinosaur “…had ears with the capacity of hearing low-frequency sounds, so they must have been peaceful but talkative dinosaurs,” according to a statement from Mexico’s National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH). Palaeontologists have even claimed that the new species probably “emitted strong sounds to scare away predators or for reproductive purposes.” Interestingly, the shape of the dinosaur’s crest looked similar to a “symbol used by Mesoamerican people in ancient manuscripts to represent the action of communication and knowledge itself.” A picture of what the ....
The fossil of an armored shark found on the World Heritage Site of the Jurassic Coast of Dorset, England is of a "news species," scientists named it Durnonovariaodus maiseyi. The extremely rare ....
4:04 In a normal year, University of Wyoming associate professor in botany and geology Ellen Currano would spend about a month searching for plant fossils. But in the midst of the pandemic last summer, Currano wasn t allowed to do her usual research. Typically, Currano said the first step in the process is pouring over geologic maps. Once she picks a broad area to study, she goes there to walk and drive around. Currano looks for drab gray and brown rocks because plants aren t preserved inside darker rocks. Before they became rock, they were exposed on the surface for a long time. There were worms crunching things up. There were roots growing through things, she said. You re not going to find plant fossils in those. ....
May 11, 2021 11:20 AM EDT SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA - JULY 25: Dan Huber from the University of Tampa, Florida in the USA, examines the head of a Tiger Shark during research into the biological mechanics of the predator July 25, 2007 in Sydney, Australia. Researchers at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) including Huber, plan to remove muscles from the head of several sharks in order to create a digital shark, to help determine it s bio mechanics and potential bite force . (Photo : Photo by Ian Waldie/Getty Images) Fossilized remains of animals have been serving historians direct evidence of predator and prey relationship since the earliest times. A discovery of a crustacean eaten by a squid-like creature, while in turn eaten by a shark of which occurrence happened around 180 million years ago from the Early Jurassic Posidonia Shale was pictured by authors of Swiss Journal of Palaeontology. ....
