Steep oxygen decline halted first land colonization by Earth's sea creatures
Vertebrate creatures first began moving from the world's oceans to land about 415 million years ago, then all but disappeared by 360 million years ago.   view more (2006-10-24)

Dinosaurs' climate shifted too, reports show
Ancient rocks from the bottom of the Pacific Ocean suggest dramatic climate changes during the dinosaur-dominated Mesozoic Era, a time once thought to have been monotonously hot and humid.   view more (2006-09-25)

Brain structure provides key to unraveling function of bizarre dinosaur crests
Paleontologists have long debated the function of the strange, bony crests on the heads of the duck-billed dinosaurs known as lambeosaurs. The structures contain incredibly long, convoluted nasal passages that loop up over the tops of their skulls.   view more (2008-10-16)

Canada's shores saved animals from devastating climate change
The shorelines of ancient Alberta, British Columbia and the Canadian Arctic were an important refuge for some of the world's earliest animals, most of which were wiped out by a mysterious global extinction event some 252 million years ago.   view more (2008-10-01)

Dinosaurs in bullet-proof vests
Some dinosaurs possessed a hard bony armoured shell similar to today's crocodiles or tortoises - presumably to protect themselves from enemies. The structure of some kinds of this armour seems to be far more complex than was hitherto assumed. Palaeontologists of the University of Bonn were able to... view more (2004-11-15)

For the paper trail of life on Mars or other planets, find cellulose
Looking for evidence of life on Mars or other planets? Finding cellulose microfibers would be the next best thing to a close encounter, according to new research from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.   view more (2008-03-31)

Study shows our ancestors survived 'Snowball Earth'
It has been 2.3 billion years since Earth's atmosphere became infused with enough oxygen to support life as we know it. About the same time, the planet became encased in ice that some scientists speculate was more than a half-mile deep.   view more (2006-06-07)

My, what big teeth you had! Extinct species had large teeth on roof of mouth
When the world's land was congealed in one supercontinent 240 million years ago, Antarctica wasn't the forbiddingly icy place it is now. But paleontologists have found a previously unknown amphibious predator species that probably still made it less than hospitable.   view more (2008-09-12)

2004 Albert Maucher Prize Awarded to Hildegard Westphal and Oliver Rauhut
Key focus on palaeoclimatic research and the development of dinosaurs Once again this year, the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (German Research Foundation, DFG) will award the Albert Maucher Prize to young scientists for outstanding research in geoscience. Geologist Hildegard Westphal (35) from... view more (2004-05-05)

Could your 'jigsaw strategy' lead to a Christmas argument?
Jigsaw puzzles and other traditional Christmas activities could be at the bottom of a number of family arguments over the festive period, according to research on how people collaborate.   view more (2004-12-23)

Far more than a meteor killed dinos
There's growing evidence that the dinosaurs and most their contemporaries were not wiped out by the famed Chicxulub meteor impact, according to a paleontologist who says multiple meteor impacts, massive volcanism in India, and climate changes culminated in the end of the Cretaceous Period.   view more (2006-10-24)
