Scelidosaurus : First complete dinosaur skeleton ever found is ready for...

Closeup of the stomach area of a fossil ichthyosaur, Guizhouichthyosaurus, showing part of the body of another large marine reptile. The ichthyosaur had swallowed its prey shortly before it died and was fossilized. This is the oldest known direct evidence of megapredation, or a large animal eating another large animal. (Da-Yong Jiang, et al.)

How dinosaur research can help medicine

The structure of the trabecular, or spongy bone that forms in the interior of bones, is unique within dinosaurs, according to a recent study by SMU paleontologists and others.

New Mygatt-Moore quarry research leads to prehistoric climate finds

Life restoration of Kongonaphon kely, a newly described reptile near the ancestry of dinosaurs and pterosaurs, shown to scale with human hands. The fossils of Kongonaphon were found in Triassic (~237 million years ago) rocks in southwestern Madagascar and demonstrate the existence of remarkably small animals along the dinosaurian stem.

Famous ‘Jurassic Park’ dinosaur is less lizard, more bird

An individual of Ankylosaurus magniventris, a large armoured dinosaur species, witnesses the impact of an asteroid, falling on the Yucatán peninsula 66 million years ago. Not even its large size and thick armour sheltered its kind from the violence of this cosmic disaster. Credit: Fabio Manucci
