Scientists find first compelling evidence of horned #dinosaurs in Europe in the Cretaceous period https://www.nhm.ac.uk/press-office/press-releases/---scientists-find-first-compelling-evidence-of-horned-dinosaurs.html

A hidden diversity of ceratopsian dinosaurs in Late #Cretaceous Europe: Susannah Maidment et al. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-025-09897-w

"New research confirms #Ajkaceratops is a ceratopsian. This #dinosaur would have lived around 84 million years ago in Europe, which at the time was a series of islands dotted around the margins of the #TethysSea."

#Ammonite survival across the #Cretaceous–Paleogene boundary confirmed by new data from Denmark https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-025-34479-1

"If these findings are correct, they solve one mystery but leave us with another. Previous research has suggested that ammonite populations may have hung on for up to 68,000 years after the impact. So if the impact itself didn't deliver a fatal blow, what exactly finished them off?"

75-million-year-old fossil identified as new 18,000-pound dinosaur species known as “cows of the Cretaceous”.

The specimens researchers analyzed were originally found in New Mexico in 1916.

Cretaceous (Geological periods 🌍)

The Cretaceous is a geologic period that lasted from about 143.1 to 66 Ma. It is the third and final period of the Mesozoic Era, as well as the longest. At around 77.1 million years, it is the ninth and longest geological period of the entire Phanerozoic. The name is derived from the Latin creta, 'chalk', which is abundant in the latter half of the period. It is usually abbreviated K, ...
