The canine-sized dinosaur initially led scientists to believe it belonged to a different family. In addition, it sports an unusual tail weapon not found on any other mammal. According to research released on Wednesday, fossils discovered in Chile are from a strange-looking, dog-sized dinosaur species that had a special slashing tail weapon. For stabbing purposes, some dinosaurs possessed tails with spikes, while others had tails with clubs. According to senior author Alex Vargas, the new species, which was reported in a research published in the journal Nature, features seven pairs of “blades” arranged sideways like a slicing weapon used by…

The unexpected find at Kem Kem beach, also known as Morocco’s “monster river,” may alter the course of paleotology. Although numerous prehistoric fossils have been discovered in this river system, scientists did not anticipate discovering a plesiosaur fossil. since the ocean is their proper home. Therefore, research led by paleoпtologist Nick Loпgrich from the Uпiversity of Bath (UK) coυld completely disrυpt the defiпitioп of sпake-headed lizard, wheп it ideпtifies two freshwater specimeпs iп the maiп Kem Kem. is a famoυs loпg-пecked “sea reptile”. Accordiпg to Sci-News, sпake-headed lizards existed oп the plaпet from 235 millioп to 66 millioп years ago,…

In the United Kingdom’s tiniest county, paleontologists uncovered a significant discovery: the fossilized remains of a giant Jurassic marine creature. According to the Leicestershire ad Rtlad Wildlife Trst, the fossil, which experts described as “extremely well preserved,” is the “palaeotological discovery of a lifetime.” The fossil was found at the Rutland Water Nature Reserve in central England in February 2021, according to an announcement from the wildlife trust. Joe Davis, who works on the water conservation team for the trust, found it during a routine draining procedure for re-landscaping. Ichthyosaur skeleton found at Rutland Water Nature Reserve in central England,…

An egg from a newborn dinosaur that is thought to be 70 million years old has been found by scientists. They gave it the name Baby Yingliang in honor of the Chinese museum that houses it at the moment. The oviraptorid dinosaur’s embryonic skeleton is preserved in a fossilized egg. The young dinosaur’s position is comparable to that of a late-stage modern bird embryo, according to research findings published on Tuesday. The baby dinosaur is estimated to be about 70 million years old and a type of oviraptorosaur, a group of beaked therapod dinosaurs closely related to modern birds that…

Unknowingly rediscovering a population of fish that predate dinosaurs, which many in the scientific world thought to be extinct, were a group of South African shark hunters. According to a report from the nonprofit environmental conservation platform Mongabay News, the “four-legged fossil fish” known as the coelacanth has been discovered in the West Indian Ocean off the coast of Madagascar. Their re-emergence is in part thanks to fishermen using gillnets in their shark-hunting expeditions, the outlet reported. As they continue to target sharks for their fins, oil and other commercial enterprises, the high-tech deep-sea nets are able to reach where…

An extinct herbivore, this prehistoric hippopotamus lived from the Late Oligocene to the Miocene era. Hippos have long been regarded by scientists as being among the most fascinating living semi-aquatic mammals on the globe. Their name, which means “river horse” in Greek, was given to them. Contrary to popular belief and to many people’s astonishment, hippos and whales share a common ancestor that lived approximately 54 million years ago. Hippos were originally common throughout Europe and Asia but are now found only in Africa. These large animals prefer to spend their time in grasslands where they can feed. Hippos are…

Spinosaurus, the large predator made famous by the films Jurassic Park III and Planet Dinosaur, was a huge river monster, as demonstrated beyond a reasonable doubt by a team of researchers from the University of Portsmouth who discovered more than a thousand dinosaur teeth. Research published today in the journal Cretaceous Research proves that Spinosaurus aegyptiacus, a 15 metre long, six-tonne beast was in fact the most commonly found creature in the Kem Kem river system, which flowed through the Sahara Desert 100 million years ago. Until recently it was believed that dinosaurs lived exclusively on land. However, research published earlier this…
