The tracks were found parallel to an ancient shoreline in the Torotoro National Park.
We’re in a golden era for dinosaur science.
Long ago, people identified fossils in their environment and explained them within their own cultural framework. This was early citizen science.
Giraffes might be about as tall as a land animal can get.
The fossil may help end a long-running debate in palaeontology.
A clay layer one-hundredth of an inch thick preserves the fleshy details of dinosaurs buried suddenly in east-central Wyoming.
Old fossils can reveal new secrets using modern technology.
A physicist applies new technologies to studying ancient fossils, and makes some intriguing discoveries.
The fossil creature has outgrowths on its back that are neither hair nor feathers.
A ceratosaurus fossil has sold for US$30 million in New York, infuriating many dinosaur experts. Here’s why they ought to think again.
Dinosaur fossils aren’t just relics of the past – they’re guides to the future.
