Dinosaurs

The animal is one of the oldest tyrannosaur species ever discovered in North America.

"Thalattosaurs were among the first groups of land-dwelling reptiles to readapt to life in the ocean," Neil Kelley, an author of the study from Vanderbilt University, said in a statement.

The discovery provides new insights into hunting behavior of these 150 million-year-old flying reptiles

'Jurassic World 3' director Colin Trevorrow confirmed that a social media thread successfully guessed the full title of the upcoming sequel to 'Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom.'

The footprints are dated to a time when a major mass extinction event devastated life on Earth.

Researchers say the newly identified specimen indicates that pterosaurs were a more diverse group than previously thought.

Cretodus houghtonorum lived during the Late Cretaceous period, a time when a huge waterway divided North America.

The swarm of male shrimp were killed in a "mass mortality" event during the time of the dinosaurs.

248 million-year-old fossils discovered in Russia almost 60 years ago re-examined by scientists.

While dinosaur fossils have been found across Alaska, there are very few records of these ancient animals in the Alaskan Peninsula.

The dinosaur could bite with about three times the force of large crocodiles or great white sharks.

Two new species of dinosaurs are introduced to the "Jurassic Park" series in the new Colin Trevorrow-directed short film "Battle at Big Rock."

For decades, scientists thought that the two holes in the roof of the dinosaur's skull aided jaw movement.

The newly identified dinosaur, named Aquilarhinus palimentus, represents an entirely new genus, or group of species.

The T. Rex exhibit at the American Museum of Natural History is not to be missed.

We show that at least one third of all continental crust has been massively deformed since the supercontinent Pangea first started breaking up.

The origin of avian flight has long-puzzled scientists.

Finding well-preserved dinosaur soft tissue is a rare occurrence.

Growing evidence suggests that the extinction of the dinosaurs involved profound, complex and interconnected changes to the global systems that support life. Much like we are facing today.

The fossils are 15 million years older than any others belonging to the tyrannosauroid family that have been found in North America.

"You can clearly see the texture of the skin and scales, as well as four-toed claw marks, which are extremely rare," one scientist said.

"Completely unexpected" Triassic creature overthrows many ideas about life on Earth 200 million years ago.

The animal lived around 110 million years ago in a surprisingly dry environment.

Birds have a highly efficient respiratory system which enables them to sustain powered flight.

Piranhamesodon pinnatomus lived 150 million years ago and appears to have torn chunks from other fish with its sharp teeth.

The two species belong to the diverse subgroup Theropoda, which includes all of the flesh-eating dinosaurs.

The fossils date from the late Triassic Period (about 210 to 201 million years ago), meaning they represent one of the earliest known pterosaurs.

These sharks are now the most popular in the ocean.

The dinosaur lived around 174 million years ago.

The animal measured between 13 feet to 16 feet long and stood 3-and-a-half feet tall at the hips.
