Changyuraptor yangi fossils were recently discovered in a Chinese expedition. The remains reveal a creature with four wings that has been dubbed the largest specimen of this type.
|
|
An analysis of a sparrow-sized fossil has challenged the present status of dinosaurs as ancestors of modern birds. This is based on a new study of an archosaur fossil.
|
|
New research appears to show that dinosaurs were a rare breed of animal, in that they were neither warm-blooded nor cold-blooded — they were somewhere in-between.
|
|
"Flintstones. Meet the Flintstones..." is a familiar song from most peoples' childhoods. However, some experts decided to point out that the whole show is completely inaccurate scientifically and then corrected the issue in animated video form.

An intact and wonderfully preserved baby dinosaur skeleton was unearthed in Dinosaur Provincial Park in southeastern Alberta in 2010. The find is only now being announced but the skeleton is already part of the University of Alberta's collection.

Located in the badlands of Alberta, Canada is a place of such stellar beauty and awe-inspiring landscapes, it takes your breath away. Dinosaur Provincial Park is not only a place great creatures roamed 75 million years ago, it's also their graveyard.
|
|
A new study has been released, and it reveals that the unknown event that killed off the dinosaurs could be the same one that wiped out ancient bees.
|
|
Any idea to recreate a dinosaur from extracted DNA has taken a step backwards. Researchers have found that extracting dinosaur DNA from insects embedded in ancient amber is probably impossible.
|
|
A study of modern day ostriches suggest sauropod dinosaurs were likely stiff in their movements, especially in their necks.

London -
The Natural History Museum in London boasts an impressive collection of dinosaur remains. These have been collected together in a special exhibition.

A group of paleontologists unearthed a new long-horned dinosaur in Utah, the first of its type to be found in the south of the United States.
|
|
Paleontologists say they have found the fossilized remains of a new avialan, or basal bird, which re-establishes the position of Archaeopteryx as part of the group of basal birds ancestral to modern birds.
|
|
A new species of dinosaur called the "lonely small bandit" has been discovered in Madagascar. This is the first new species discovered in almost a decade.
|
|
Paleontologists have identified what they believe to be the oldest dinosaur fossils in existence. This new dinosaur discovery possibly challenges current beliefs on dinosaur history.

Toronto -
It’s often said everyone likes a dinosaur and there’s no better place to check out the theory than in Toronto, where “everyone” lives. So on a Sunday when the outdoors temp is dino-steamy, a duck into the AC’ed ROM is in order.
|
|
Today, living fossils create problems for paleontologists with Darwinian assumptions. The discoveries of living Wollemi pines, Coelacanth fishes, the Nautilus, and other animals have challenged evolutionary assumptions about life’s history.

Toronto -
Some of the largest and rarest dinosaurs ever known are on display this summer at the Royal Ontario Museum, in a new exhibit called Ultimate Dinosaurs: Giants from Gondwana.
|
|
Paleontologists have devoted a surprising amount of research effort to explaining how dinosaurs had sex. As expected, explaining how a four-storeys high, 30-ton lizard such as T. Rex, speculated as equipped with 12 ft long penis, had sex proves tricky.

Washington -
One of the best things about living outside of Washington D.C. is the ability to hop on the Metro and go to the nation's capital and explore the rich history and landmarks.
And then there are the museums.

It’s been almost a decade since the last installment of the blockbuster trilogy hit theatres, but Steven Spielberg may be considering once again reviving the dinosaurs of "Jurassic Park" on the big screen.
|
|
Two dinosaur fossils that were previously believed to be of the same species now provide insight into a remarkable transitional period from the early stages of dinosaur evolution, some 230-million years ago in Argentina's Ischigualasto valley.
|
|
The ancient world had something ours doesn’t: Venomous bird lizards. Sinornithosaurus would have been a deadly part of any ecology, past or modern. Scientists have discovered indications of a snake-like venom delivery system.
|
|
Pterosaurs were the earliest known flying vertebrates and a fossil found recently in China indicates that these creatures had unique and complex wing fibers that enabled them to fly with great precision. Read on and…shiver.
|
|
Australian-based paleontologists had finally found evidence that the wondrous prehistoric reptiles, commonly known as dinosaurs, once roamed the fields of down under.
