Just days ago, I wrote an article about the remains of a possibly new species of sea turtle that was found in British Columbia, Canada (the article can be read here). The unusual turtle dates back about 84 million years. And now, another extremely rare sea turtle has been found in Saskatchewan, Canada. The story. Read more » ....
There have been several prehistoric species that have been found recently, so let’s take a look at four of them. The remains of a 95-million-year-old dinosaur found in Eromanga, Queensland, are believed to be from an entirely new species. Robyn Mackenzie, who is a Director and Palaeontologist for the Eromanga Natural History Museum, told 9News.com.au. Read more » ....
Pluridens serpentis, became extinct around 66 million years ago. Scientists from the United Kingdom, France, and Morocco reconstructed this new species from “…two complete skulls and referred jaws.” Based on their reconstruction, the Pluridens serpentis was believed to have measured as long as 8 meters (26 feet). This is staggering as the majority of the species’ relatives only grew to about a few meters in length. It had “elongate and robust jaws, small teeth, and specialized tooth implantation” that would have helped it to catch small prey. Additionally, it wouldn’t have been able to see very far because it had such small eyes. According to the study, it probably “relied on nonvisual cues including touch and chemoreception during foraging, as in modern marine snakes.” ....
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 ....
