[2] He became interested in dinosaurs as a teenager, not a young child like many palaeontologists, so he read adult popular science books, which he described as a "gateway into science". He wanted to write an up-to-date book on "the whole evolutionary story of dinosaurs" that would fill that niche and cover new discoveries, which hadn't been ...
The earliest evidence for life on Earth includes: 3.8 billion-year-old biogenic hematite in a banded iron formation of the Nuvvuagittuq Greenstone Belt in Canada; [30] graphite in 3.7 billion-year-old metasedimentary rocks in western Greenland; [31] and microbial mat fossils in 3.48 billion-year-old sandstone in Western Australia.
It included a Velociraptor attacking a Protoceratops, [172] providing evidence that dinosaurs did indeed attack each other. [173] Additional evidence for attacking live prey is the partially healed tail of an Edmontosaurus, a hadrosaurid dinosaur; the tail is damaged in such a way that shows the animal was bitten by a tyrannosaur but survived ...
Dinosaurs were initially cold-blooded, but global warming 180 million years ago may have triggered the evolution of warm-blooded species, a new study found. Study reveals when the first warm ...
Explained are the very beginnings of the Earth; the formation of the crust and atmosphere; the origins of water; when life began in the oceans and moved to the land; the Carboniferous period and how it ended; when dinosaurs ruled the land and the arrival of mammals; and the numerous ice ages.
Dinosaurs are animals that dominated terrestrial environments for more than 160 million years, first appearing approximately 230 million years ago. They were extremely varied, abundant and have been found preserved on all seven modern continents.
A study of fossilized feces and vomit attempts to piece together why dinosaurs were so evolutionarily successful.
The poll, inspired by the release of the new 'Jurassic World' movie, asked, "Do you believe that dinosaurs and humans once lived on the planet at the same time?" Of the 1,000 people who were ...
