Um fóssil recém-descrito do sul da Austrália está causando impacto em nossa compreensão de onde e quando as baleias desenvolveram tamanhos corporais gigantescos.
A newly described fossil from South Australia is making waves in our understanding of where and when whales evolved titanic body sizes.
Ancient climate change doomed the monk seals that lived in Australian waters millions of years ago.
This newly discovered ancient monk seal is challenging previous theories about how and where monachine seals evolved. It’s the biggest breakthrough in seal evolution research in about 70 years.
Our new research has more than doubled the known fossil record of seals in Australia.
Fossils of a whale thought to be found only in southern waters have been discovered at two sites in the northern hemisphere.
