The more we know about the animals that lived during this time, the more we can start to comprehend how species react and recover after an extinction event.

New research suggests some dinosaurs buried and protected eggs in groups.
Fossils contain a thriving world of bacteria, proteins and perhaps even organic matter from dinosaurs.
When the first Jurassic Park film came out, we didn’t know which dinosaurs had feathers. But a few years later, a very important discovery was made that changed our thinking on how dinosaurs looked.
Dinosaurs ruled the Earth for about 180 million years. But around 66 million years ago, a huge rock from outer space (called an asteroid) smashed into the Earth. Then things got worse for dinosaurs.
Growing evidence suggests that the extinction of the dinosaurs involved profound, complex and interconnected changes to the global systems that support life. Much like we are facing today.
A psychologist explains why we should accept that we will never live in the Anthropocene.
More evidence that the asteroid hit on Earth that marked the end of the dinosaurs could have triggered a deadly increase in volcanic activity.
Five major finds this year adds to our understanding of evolution and ancient life history.
A new type of Archaeopteryx fossil helps build the case for this creature being called ‘the first bird’.
Palaeontological finds offer a compelling and profound way to think about our place in nature.
Twenty-two years ago, President Clinton established Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument for paleontological conservation. As the Trump administration shrinks its borders, that mission is jeopardized.
What can we expect from our future climate after looking at the ‘Hothouse Earths’ of the past?
We know of about 900 valid dinosaur species that existed. ‘Valid’ means scientists know the dinosaur from enough of the skeleton bones to feel pretty sure that it differs from other known dinosaurs.
The latest in the Jurassic World film franchise sees dinosaurs pitched as future weapons. So who’s behind that monster idea?
The genetically modified dinosaurs are back in Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom. Fantastic entertainment, and the science isn’t too bad, considering.
Jurassic Park’s dinosaur DNA premise is not so simple in real life
New research uses pathology in dinosaur bones to look at predator-prey interactions in the fossil record.
You might recognise Spinosaurus, from Jurassic Park 3, but did you realise it is 100% an African dinosaur?
A consultant on Chris Packham’s latest dinosaur show about Tyrannosaurus Rex explains how they kept it entertaining but accurate.
