A team of archaeologists excavating in the village of Overstone near Northampton, UK, has unearthed an unusual 4,000-year-old stone building. The purpose of this ancient structure is still being investigated, but according to preliminary reports, the site was used for over 2,000 years. An unusual 4,000-year-old structure was found at the site. Credit: MOLA This unusual stone building from the Roman period (43AD-410AD), was decorated with elaborately painted plasterwork, possibly a painted ceiling, and contained an underground room. “Archaeologists said it appeared to have had no functional use, so it was believed it could have been a shrine associated with…

The skeleton is still far from complete but paleontologists say what they’ve found suggests the dinosaur may be more than 120 feet long The fossilized bones of what may have been the largest animal ever to walk the Earth are slowly emerging from the ground in Argentina, reports Amy Woodyatt for CNN. Beginning in 2012, paleontologists set about excavating a hulking set of 24 vertebrae as well as elements of the pelvis and pectoral girdle from the Candeleros Formation in Argentina’s Neuquén Province. At first, it wasn’t clear to researchers what they’d found, only that it was enormous. Now, in a…

It’s dog eat dog in the wild, or in the case of this video captured by a visitor to the Samburu National Reserve in Kenya, it’s a matter of crocodile or lion eats elephant. When an elephant died at the side of a lake in the African reserve, leaving enough meat to feed a multitude of animals, a group of hungry lions and a crocodile with a serious meat craving immediately clocked the easy catch. But the elephant meat wasn’t easy for either predator to win if this video of a rare stand-off between crocodile and lion, uploaded to YouTube…

California archaeologists have discovered 130,000-year old prehistoric human remains. This suggests that America was home to ancient people 100,000 years before experts anticipated. Researchers had assumed that humans first arrived in North America 24,000 years ago. This discovery is an amazing game-changer. Scientists now believe that these ancient humans lived between Neanderthals, and archaic Homo Sapiens.

With a skull size of 2 m (6.6 feet) and an estimated body size of 17 m (56 feet), the newly-identified ichthyosaur species is the largest animal discovered from the Middle Triassic epoch (242-244 million years ago). Named Cymbospondylus youngorum, the giant marine reptile existed at most 8 million years after the emergence of the first ichthyosaurs, suggesting a much more rapid size expansion that may have been fueled by processes after the Permian mass extinction. Ichthyosaurs were a successful group of large marine reptiles for most of the Mesozoic Era. These creature first appeared in the oceans after the Permian…

890-million-year-old fossil sponges found in the “Little Dal” limestones of northwest Canada may be the oldest animal ever found. According to research published in the journal Nature, mesh-like structures in an ancient reef may represent 890-million-year-old sponges. The rocks were found by geologist Elizabeth Turner in a remote location of the Northwest Territories accessible only by helicopter, where she has been digging since the 1980s. Thin sections of rock contain three-dimensional structures that resemble modern sponge skeletons. If research confirmed, the fossilized sponges found in the “Little Dal” limestones of northwest Canada would predate the earliest undisputed fossils of any animal by more…

“I’ll never forget the moment my daughter was placed in my arms.

A meter-long sword dating back to the Crusader period was found by an amateur diver on the seabed off the Carmel Coast, the Israel  Antiquities Authority (IAA) announced Monday. Diver Shlomi Katzin discovered some ancient ruins, such as pottery fragments, stones, and metal anchors, and a blade that may have resurfaced after the sand has moved. Worried that this artifact might be covered up again, he brought it to the surface and contacted IAA. Despite being coated with marine creatures, the 1 meter-long blade, hilt, and handle were distinct enough to be noticed when undercurrents moved dunes that had buried it. “The…

Fossils shaped like Quidditchball are only a few of the many discoveries made by amateur archeologist Aaron Smith. On the cliffs of Whitby, Yorkshire, the medical student found various fossil items from the Jurassic period. Perhaps the most spectacular is a 185 million-year-old fossil encased by what looks like a ‘golden canon’ ball. It is technically a rock that is coated in iron pyrite, also known as ‘fools gold’, and if you shine this material, just like Smith did, then it turns shiny and gold. The phenomenal piece of history is thought to be 185 million-years-old and was found on…

Archeologists in Chile have unearthed the fossilized remains of a 13ft-long pregnant ichthyosaur from a melting glacier -marking the first time a complete ichthyosaur has been found in the country. The 139-million-year-old fossil was carefully collected by helicopter following an expedition in March and April this year by the University of Magallanes (UMAG) in the Tyndall Glacier area of Chilean Patagonia. Named ‘Fiona’ by scientists at the University of Manchester, the 139-million-year-old fossil died when she was pregnant and still had several embryos in her belly. Ichthyosaurs were marine reptiles that lived in the age of dinosaurs, and Fiona is the only…

Divers searching for discarded fishing nets in the Baltic Sea have discovered a rare Enigma encryption machine used by the Nazis in World War II. As AFP reports, a team found the Enigma machine last month in Germany’s Gelting Bay, which is about 90 miles (150 km) north of Hamburg. The device, famously used by Nazis to encrypt messages during the Second World War, was uncovered by a group not normally associated with marine archaeology: the World Wildlife Federation (WWF). German divers working on behalf of the group were searching for abandoned fishing nets, also known as “ghost nets,” when they accidentally stumbled upon the…
