A 160-million-year-old ‘technicolour’ dinosaur fossil discovered in China with four wings and bird-like feathers |

For years, the evolution of flight seemed fairly straightforward. Dinosaurs developed feathers, with some learning to glide, and eventually, birds appeared and mastered the skies.

Chucarosaurus diripienda: The dinosaur so massive it shattered roads and transformed how scientists study titanosaurs |

When most people think of fossils, they imagine delicate bones carefully uncovered with brushes and small tools. However, a recent discovery in Patagonia, Argentina, challenged that perception. In the Río Negro province, paleontologists unearthed the remains of a colossal dinosaur, a newly identified titanosaur so massive that its fossilised bones actually cracked the road during […]

First ‘mummified’ hooved dinosaur in Wyoming Badlands discovered, redefining prehistoric evolution |

In a remarkable palaeontological breakthrough, scientists have uncovered two mummified duck-billed dinosaur fossils in the Wyoming badlands, marking the first-ever discovery of hooves in dinosaurs. These exceptionally preserved specimens, identified as Edmontosaurus annectens, offer an unprecedented look into the anatomy and lifestyle of one of the last great herbivores of the Cretaceous period.
