They have identified and recreated the molecular processes that made the snouts of some dinosaurs transform into the beaks of the first birds.

It is a new theropod dinosaur that lived more than 145 million years ago during the Upper Jurassic period. The particular thing about this discovery is that it is a rare specimen: it is a mix of a puma with the hands of a tyrannosaurus that was also not a carnivore but a herbivore. The study, carried out by a team of paleontologists from the "B Rivadavia" Museum of Natural Sciences in Buenos Aires (Argentina) has been published in the journal Nature.

Did you know that some species of dinosaurs were cannibals?

A recently discovered crocodile ancestor, named Carolinensis Carnufex, was the top predator in North America before dinosaurs reached the continent.

Qijianglong ("the dragon of Qijiang" in Chinese) lived 160 million years ago, during the late Jurassic. And as a good sauropod, it had a huge neck, although even larger than what paleontologists are used to seeing.

A team of researchers coordinated by geologist and anatomical scientist Andrew Farke has identified the first species of dinosaur

A team of experts from the California Academy of Sciences has created a detailed evolutionary tree of turtles, including them in a new group of animals called Archelosaurs, along with birds, crocodiles and dinosaurs.

A team of researchers from the University of California, Davis, has discovered in the Chinese province of Ánhui the remains of an ichthyosaur, a marine reptile that lived about 248 million years ago, capable of moving both in water and on land .
