Normally depicted as lunch for other animals, illustrator Franz Anthony brings a diverse range of fossil cephalopods to life
Le premier fossile complet d'un Elpistostege watsoni, découvert il y a trois ans par des chercheurs du parc de Miguasha au Québec, a été présenté à la communauté paléontologique internationale lors d'un congrès qui se tient actuellement à Los Angeles, aux États-Unis.
Only two #paleostream sketches tonight, had technical difficulties and certain things took way too long. Leviathanochelys (with Prognathodon) and Pelagornis with a dead ostrich and some love birds (yes fossils of all these animals come from the same locality)
From 3.8-billion-year-old fossilized bacteria to ancient stromatolites, here are some of the most controversial, and potentially oldest, fossils on Earth
These genus dinosaurs occupied North America, Europe, and Asia, during the Cretaceous Period, nearly 108 million years ago.
The discovery of new skeletal remains of Homo naledi in the Lesedi Chamber, South Africa, adds more evidence to our understanding of the morphology and behavior of this recently discovered species.
A recent fossil discovery in the Mackenzie Mountains, NWT may change how we consider animal evolution.
Once almost forgotten, Mary Anning's contributions to paleontology are now receiving their due.
Ammonoids are a group of marine mollusc animals in the subclass Ammonoidea of the class Cephalopoda.
Gigantic Tsunami Ripples Suspected To Be From Dino-Killing Asteroid Impact
I don’t know why a raven is like a writing desk, but I do know that Microraptor was like a cat. The feathery little dinosaur was cute and glossy, but those adorable features were offset by the carnivore’s excessive pointiness. Even though the non-avian dinosaur was about the size of a raven, and even had […]
The Proterozoic Earth saw many major evolutionary events from the Oxygen Catastrophe to the birth of the first plants and animals.
Many of the genes that help determine most people's skin and hair are more Neanderthal than not, according to two new studies that look at the DNA fossils hidden in the modern human genome.
The faunal succession principle states that fossils in sedimentary rocks succeed each other vertically in a predictable order identifiable over a wide area.
A recent remarkable genetic study on modern humans and our ancestors may have unlocked the secret to the origin of mankind!
Dracorex (lat. für Drachenkönig) ist eine Gattung pflanzenfressender Dinosaurier, die in der späten Oberkreide in Nordamerika lebte. Sie gehört zum Taxon der Pachycephalosauria, und enthält nur eine bekannte Art, Dracorex hogwartsia. Vermutlich handelt es sich um ein Jugend-Synonym zu Pachycephalosaurus. Wegen seinen vielen kleinen Hörner und allgemein wegen seines Aussehens wurde er von den Paläontologen mit einem Drachen verglichen. Die Ähnlichkeit zu einem Drachen ist der Grund für die Namens
