A massive, bus-sized βterror crocβ that once preyed on dinosaurs has been brought back to life in stunning detail with the first scientifically accurate full skeleton of Deinosuchus schwimmeri. Stretching over 30 feet long, this ancient apex predator ruled the southeastern U.S. more than 75 million years agoβand now visitors can see it up close at the Tellus Science Museum, the only place in the world with this replica.

Palaeontologists discover new long-necked #dinosaur in #Patagonia

A German-Argentine team of paleontologists led by SNSB dinosaur expert Oliver Rauhut has discovered a new long-necked dinosaur, Bicharracosaurus dionidei, from the Upper Jurassic period in Argentina, dating back approximately 155 million years. Long-necked dinosaur fossils from the Jurassic period in the Southern Hemisphere are rare, so the new fossil contributes to a better understanding of the evolution of these giant herbivores on the southern continents. The researchers have now published their findings in the journal PeerJ.

Homo erectus may have deliberately selected rocks embedded with fossils and crystals to craft their hand axes β possibly to serve as mediators between humans and the cosmos.

Dr. Jingmai O'Connor explains how this specific specimen from the Field #Museum demonstrates the #Jurassic origins of flight through its unique feathers. The fossil took over 1,270 hours to uncover and shows details previously unknown in other specimens.
