Jason Cuevas+FollowAlabama creek reveals dinosaur mysteryAn 84-million-year-old hadrosaur tooth just turned up in Shark Tooth Creek, Alabama—right where you’d expect to find ancient sea creatures, not land-roaming dinosaurs!

The leading theory is that the dinosaur died on land and its remains were swept out to sea, possibly scavenged by sharks before fossilizing. It’s a rare glimpse into prehistoric Alabama and raises new questions about the area’s ancient past. What do you think happened to this dinosaur? #History #Alabama #DinosaurDiscovery00Share
Jason Cuevas+FollowAlberta’s giant dinosaur skull discoveryA 272-kilogram Pachyrhinosaurus skull—nicknamed “Big Sam”—was just unearthed near Grande Prairie, Alberta, and it’s changing what we know about Canada’s prehistoric past.
