U. of Colorado researcher identifies tracks of swimming dinosaur in Wyoming
The tracks of a previously unknown, two-legged swimming dinosaur have been identified along the shoreline of an ancient inland sea that covered Wyoming 165 million years ago, according to a University of Colorado at Boulder graduate student. view more (2005-10-18)
Massive dinosaur discovered in Antarctica sheds light on life, distribution of sauropodomorphs
A new genus and species of dinosaur from the Early Jurassic has been discovered in Antarctica. The massive plant-eating primitive sauropodomorph is called Glacialisaurus hammeri and lived about 190 million years ago. view more (2007-12-11)
Bonn scientists simulate dinosaur digestion in the lab
Scientists from the University of Bonn are researching which plants giant dinosaurs could have lived off more than 100 million years ago. view more (2008-02-07)
Sensational find: The mini-dinosaurs from the Harz Mountains
When unusually small dinosaur fossils were found in a quarry on the northern edge of the Harz Mountains in 1998, it was initially assumed that these were the remains of a group of young dinosaurs. view more (2006-06-08)
Despite their heft, many dinosaurs had surprisingly tiny genomes
They might be giants, but many dinosaurs apparently had genomes no larger than that of a modern hummingbird. view more (2007-03-08)
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 the University of Erlangen-Nürnberg and... view more... (2004-05-05)
Dinosaurs — stones did not help with digestion
The giant dinosaurs had a problem. Many of them had narrow, pointed teeth, which were more suited to tearing off plants rather than chewing them. view more (2006-12-21)
Dinosaur Burrow Find Gives Climate Change Clues
On the heels of his discovery in Montana of the first trace fossil of a dinosaur burrow, Emory University paleontologist Anthony Martin has found evidence of more dinosaur burrows - this time on the other side of the world, in Victoria, Australia. view more (2009-07-13)
Good times ahead for dinosaur hunters, according to U of Penn scientist's dinosaur census
The golden age of dinosaur discovery is yet upon us, according to Peter Dodson at the University of Pennsylvania. view more (2006-09-05)
MSU, Mongolian paleontologists find 67 dinosaurs in one week
One recent week in the Gobi Desert produced 67 dinosaur skeletons for a team of paleontologists from Montana and Mongolia who want to flesh out the developmental biology of dinosaurs. view more (2006-09-15)
New analyses of dinosaur growth may wipe out one-third of species
Paleontologists from the University of California, Berkeley, and the Museum of the Rockies have wiped out two species of dome-headed dinosaur, one of them named three years ago - with great fanfare - after Hogwarts, the school attended by Harry Potter. view more (2009-11-02)
Diminishing dinosaur steps saved by laser and laptop
The Fumanya site, in the Bergueda region of central Catalonia, is so delicate that experts cannot get physically close enough to the tracks to examine them. view more (2007-05-10)
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)
Oxygen increase caused mammals to triumph, researchers say
The first, high resolution continuous record of oxygen concentration in the earth's atmosphere shows that a sharp rise in oxygen about 50 million years ago gave mammals the evolutionary boost they needed to dominate the planet. view more (2005-09-30)
Giant Impact Near India -- Not Mexico -- May Have Doomed Dinosaurs
A mysterious basin off the coast of India could be the largest, multi-ringed impact crater the world has ever seen. And if a new study is right, it may have been responsible for killing the dinosaurs off 65 million years ago. view more (2009-10-16)
Definitive Evidence Found of a Swimming Dinosaur
An extraordinary underwater trackway with 12 consecutive prints provides the most compelling evidence to-date that some dinosaurs were swimmers. The 15-meter-long trackway, located in La Virgen del Campo track site in Spain's Cameros Basin, contains the first long and continuous record of swimming by a non-avian therapod dinosaur. view more (2007-05-24)
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 demonstrate that some of this armour plating shows... view more... (2004-11-15)
Dinosaur Fossil Bone Leads to Gender, Age Determinations
Paleontologists at North Carolina State University have determined that a 68 million year-old Tyrannosaurus Rex fossil from Montana is that of a young female, and that she was producing eggs when she died. view more (2005-06-02)
Warm-blooded dinosaurs worked up a sweat
Were dinosaurs "warm-blooded" like present-day mammals and birds, or "cold-blooded" like present day lizards? The implications of this simple-sounding question go beyond deciding whether or not you'd snuggle up to a dinosaur on a cold winter's evening. view more (2009-11-11)
Insect attack may have finished off dinosaurs
Asteroid impacts or massive volcanic flows might have occurred around the time dinosaurs became extinct, but a new book argues that the mightiest creatures the world has ever known may have been brought down by a tiny, much less dramatic force - biting, disease-carrying insects. view more (2008-01-03)
