Klaire LockheartOh no! The dakotaraptor nabbed a baby triceratops, and the “do not touch” signs prevent me from intervening!
(I’ve been traveling for work, but I was excited to visit Everything Prehistoric and the Museum at Black Hills Institute of Geological Research.)

Global Museum'Mammoth' Bones Kept in a Museum For 70 Years Turn Out to Be Entirely Different Animal.
The fossilized backbones of what appeared to be woolly mammoths have turned out to come from an entirely different and unexpected animal.
Archaeologist Otto Geist first discovered the bones on an expedition in 1951 through the Alaskan interior, in a prehistoric geographic region known as Beringia.

🐟⏳ #Coelacanths, #sturgeons, #lungfish, #lampreys, #hagfish, and #paddlefish all predate the #dinosaurs by tens to hundreds of millions of years.
Scientists sequenced their genomes, showing slow-evolving genes, ancient duplications, and clues to how our own ancestors moved onto land.
