Megaraptoran theropod dinosaur anatomy and evolution is unclear due to the fragmentary nature of most available fossils. Here the authors report a well-preserved, late surviving megaraptoran from Argentina that clarifies our understanding of the morphology of this group and potentially provides insights into its diet and feeding strategies.
This week, a new megaraptor was describedâfound with its final meal still in its mouth!
The discovery of Joaquinraptor sheds light on megaraptoran evolution and palaeobiology đŚ

Calling all comparative anatomists!
In The Empire Strikes Back, what real world animal does the prop vertebral column in the Wampa's ice cave belong to? They look like genuine casts of a mammal of some sort. I'm wondering if they could actually be cast bones from a Mastodon...

đ" Whale Valley is a region of the Egyptian Sahara desert that is peppered with archaic whale skeletons, some of which have feet and toes preserved.
These skeletons and other marine fossils date to the late Eocene epoch (55.8 million to 33.9 million years ago), when present-day Egypt was submerged beneath the Tethys Ocean and whales had just evolved into sea creatures,"
Why did T. rex cross the lake?
This article by National Geographic explores what swimming may have looked like in tyrannosaurs and other theropod dinosaurs:
