An evolutionary lineage that may have sought refuge in this isolated area is revealed by a recently found fossil from Antarctica, which provides insight into the origins of contemporary birds. The fossil offers important new information about the evolutionary history of birds, indicating that early avian species’ survival and diversification [...]
In a groundbreaking discovery, scientists have unearthed 1.5-million-year-old fossil footprints in Kenya that provide the first concrete evidence of two different hominin species existing in the same habitat at the same time. The find, located near the ancient shoreline of what is now Lake Turkana, offers unprecedented insights into human [...]
In an article published in the journal Current Biology, a team led by Dr. David Hone from the Queen Mary University of London describes Skiphosoura Bavarica, an ancient pterosaur that bridges the evolutionary gap between early and later species of these creatures. Pterosaurs, the extinct flying reptiles that coexisted with [...]
In the annals of paleontological exploration, a riveting chapter has unfolded with the recent revelation of the oldest fossilized skin ever discovered. Akin to a time capsule preserved within the ancient, subterranean embrace of Richards Spur, this crocodile-like skin, dating back an astonishing 286 million years, has captivated the scientific [...]
