Important scientific discoveries often come from the most unassuming sources. Such is the case with a modest, 6-centimeter-wide fossil of bone and teeth discovered on a Texas beach that belonged to a prehistoric large cat. Initially, this fossil might not catch the eye, looking more like a nondescript, lumpy rock...

BRISTOL, United Kingdom — For years, paleontologists thought dinosaurs roamed the Earth, inhabiting every area except for what is now modern-day Wales. Instead, this part of the United Kingdom has been known as the land of dragons, with the fictional red dragon even standing as a symbol of pride on the Welsh flag. However, a new study has found that one of these creatures may have actually existed in this region.

The Tyrannosaurus rex has a big reputation for its puny little arms, but as paleontologists dig up more of its family members, the species is grappling with some competition.
In an arm wrestle with a newly found abelisaurid, the T. rex could have actually come out on top. Its stubby, weak upper limbs likely look practically buff next to those of Koleken inakayali – a carnivorous, bipedal  dinosaur whose bones were recently found preserved in Patagonia.

In its official scientific debut, the species is described as a unique abelisaurid that looks most similar to Argentina's famous Carnotaurus, or "meat-eating bull" –...

A new study uncovers ancient nematodes that fed on pseudoscorpions, captured in Baltic amber fossils. The early bird gets the worm, but as fossil research by an Oregon State University scientist demonstrates, the early worm gets the arachnid. This intriguing finding comes from a study of a Baltic amber specimen which revealed that millions of years ago, tiny worms known as nematodes were living inside of and feeding on the outer protective layer of pseudoscorpions.

Archaeologists unearth stunning gold jewellery from mysterious ancient culture

For over a century, the question of how the famous bluestones of Stonehenge made their way from their source in Wales to the ancient monument in England has been a topic of heated debate. The bluestones are the smaller boulders that form the site’s inner circle and inner horseshoe. Most archaeologists have long believed that Neolithic people transported these massive stones, each weighing several tons, over 200 kilometers to the site. But a recently rediscovered boulder found during excavations at Stonehenge in 1924 may finally provide the key to solving this age-old mystery.

Boulder discovery suggests Stonehenge bluestones weren’t moved by humans

Jan Bartek - AncientPages.com - Between the 4th century BC and the 3rd century AD, a kingdom known as the Kangju Kingdom existed in Central Asia. This kingdom was inhabited by a semi-nomadic population of Indo-European descent. Archaeological findings indicate that the Kangju people were skilled craftsmen who maintained diplomatic connections with the outside world. Their artifacts and remains provide insights into their craftsmanship and interactions with other civilizations during that era.

When Sam Fisher took his two young sons and their 11-year-old cousin on a hike in the Badlands of North Dakota, he was probably expecting a day of sightseeing and light exercise. What he could not have foreseen, however, was the group stumbling upon the remains of a juvenile Tyrannosaurus rex that had lived millions of years ago. Their find, which occurred in 2022, was deemed an “incredible discovery” by the Denver Museum of Nature & Science and will soon be on display at the museum. The group of amateur paleontologists, including Fisher’s sons Jessin, 12, and Liam, 9, were surely excited by their discovery but also handled the fossil with all the reverence it deserved. Fisher sent a photo of the find to his old high school classmate, Dr. Tyler Lyson, a paleontologist and curator of vertebrate paleontology with the Denver Museum of Nature & Science, and asked for advice. The following summer, Dr. Lyson arrived on the site with the family as well as a skilled team to excavate the fossil. Together, they were able to unearth the remains of a teenage Tyrannosaurus rex, with all parties pitching in and contributing to the dig.
