✧ Proceratosaurus ✧

Proceratosaurus is a genus of theropod dinosaur that lived during the Middle Jurassic in what is now England. The holotype and only known specimen (pictured) consists of a mostly complete skull with an accompanying lower jaw and a hyoid bone, found near Minchinhampton, a town in Gloucestershire. It was originally d...

Study of fossil katydids provides new insights into the evolution of the Mesozoic soundscape

Acoustic communication has played a key role in the evolution of animalsβ€”especially vertebrates and insectsβ€”ranging from mating to warning calls and even social learning. The reconstruction of ancient acoustic signals is challenging, however, due to the extreme rarity of fossilized organs.
