The $30 billion Woodside Petroleum development slated for James Price Point in the Kimberley has been allowed to go ahead on the condition it does not affect thousands of fossilised dinosaur footprints…
Dinosaur remains have been found on every continent on Earth and we know these creatures dominated the planet’s ecosystems for around 140 million years. But despite their abundance elsewhere, few discoveries…
Last week my colleagues and I published a paper showing how methane emitted by dinosaurs could have affected the world’s climate. The media response was huge, with 100+ interviews by email and phone, and…
Earth went through a heavy asteroid bombardment as changes in the solar system flung asteroids from the belt between Mars…
It’s taken a century of debate, but in the past two decades we’re finally understanding where birds came from. Now, with a new study published in the journal Nature, Chinese and Canadian researchers have…
A newly discovered species of feathered tyrannosaurus, Yutyrannus huali, grew up to 9 metres in length and weighed about 1400 kg, making it 40 times heavier than the largest previously known feathered…
A team of palaeontologists from across the globe has reconstructed the colour and feather pattern of a winged dinosaur that…
Using the latest 3D printing technology, palaeontologists can recreate dinosaurs to study how the ancient creatures moved…
Dinosaurs were probably made extinct by a combination of colossal volcanic eruptions and meteorite strikes, according to…
The widely believed theory that cycad plants, or “dinosaur plants”, are living fossils has been debunked. Using genetic analyses…
Australian dinosaurs were not physiologically different from other dinosaurs living in more temperate regions, new research…
Palaeontologists have discovered a 780,000 year old bird fossil, thought to be a type of ancient wedge-tailed eagle, in a Western Australian cave that has trapped birds for millions of years. The eagle…
The long-term debate of how bird wings evolved from five-digits to three-digits has been settled according to new evidence…
Palaeontologists have discovered dinosaur footprints in Victoria. The discovery, now the largest of its kind in Victoria…
As little as 15 years ago, the boundary between birds and dinosaurs was a fairly sharp one. On one side was Archaeopteryx, a 150 million-year-old magpie-sized creature from Bavaria, southern Germany, long…
The remains of a turtle that survived the 65 million-year-old meteorite impact that wiped out the dinosaurs have been found…
The theory that a meteor wiped out the dinosaurs has gained greater plausibility after Yale University researchers discovered…
Dinosaurs may have been warm-blooded and active, contradicting theories that suggest they were cold-blooded and sluggish…
