Richard Vaughan+FollowDinosaur Eggs Turned Into Sparkly Geodes?!Imagine cracking open a dino egg and finding crystals instead of fossils! In China’s Qianshan Basin, scientists found 70-million-year-old dinosaur eggs that look like dirty rocks on the outside but are packed with dazzling white crystals inside. No one expected dino eggs here, let alone ones that turned into geodes! The species that laid them is still a mystery, but these eggs are giving us wild new clues about the last days of the dinosaurs. Nature’s got jokes! #Science #Dinosaurs #FossilFriday00Share
Zachary Gutierrez+FollowDinosaurs Weren’t Doomed—They Were Thriving!Everything you thought you knew about the end of the dinosaurs? Turns out, it’s way messier. New research says dinos weren’t on a slow decline—they were living their best lives right up until that asteroid hit. Fossil records fooled us because the rocks just aren’t there to show the full picture. Imagine: if not for a cosmic curveball, T. rex and Triceratops might still be around. Total plot twist for Earth’s history, right? #Science #Dinosaurs #ScienceNews00Share
megangibson+FollowDinosaur Origins Just Got a Plot TwistA forgotten fossil from Zambia is shaking up dino history! Scientists re-examined a 225-million-year-old leg bone and realized it belonged to a silesaur—a dino relative. The wild part? This bone suggests early dinosaurs were way bigger than we thought. Instead of starting small, some dinos may have actually shrunk over time. Just goes to show, even museum backrooms can hide secrets that totally rewrite what we know about prehistoric life! #Science #Dinosaurs #FossilFind50Share
Patrick Simmons+FollowDinosaurs Are Basically Today’s Birds?!Mind-blowing fact: birds are literally living dinosaurs! From the feathered Velociraptor to the four-winged Microraptor, these ancient creatures didn’t just vanish—they evolved into the birds we see every day. Fossils show feathers, wishbones, and even nesting habits that connect dinos like Archaeopteryx and Sinosauropteryx directly to our modern feathered friends. Next time you see a pigeon, just remember: you’re looking at a tiny T. rex cousin! #Science #Dinosaurs #Birds20Share
Jessica Hodge+FollowDinosaurs Would Totally Slay TodayImagine if dinosaurs were still around—think less Jurassic Park lizard, more glam rock bird! Scientists now say many dinos rocked feathers in wild colors, shiny crests, and even iridescent plumes. Some would look like giant, rainbow birds strutting through the park, with expressive faces and wild social lives. And get this: every pigeon you see is basically a tiny T. rex descendant. Mind blown? Next time you spot a bird, remember, you’re looking at a living dino! Which modern bird do you think is the most dino-like? #Science #Dinosaurs #ScienceFacts01Share
rachel60+FollowDino X-rays? Ancient Giants Got Sick Too!Turns out, dinosaurs weren’t the invincible beasts we thought! Scientists are using hospital tech like CT scans to peek inside dino bones, and guess what? These prehistoric giants had cancer, arthritis, and even respiratory infections—just like us. One dino even had bone cancer so advanced it probably spread through its whole body, but it still stuck with its herd. Who knew ancient fossils could spill so much tea about disease and survival? Which dino illness surprised you most? #Health #BodyHealth #Dinosaurs20Share
James Brady+FollowDino Eggs Are Basically Ancient StopwatchesTurns out, dinosaur eggshells are way more than just fossilized breakfast—they’re literal time machines! Scientists just figured out that radioactive isotopes inside the shells act like built-in clocks, letting them pinpoint exactly when those eggs were laid and fossilized. Using lasers and mass spectrometry, they can now date dino nests to the million-year mark, totally rewriting the timeline of dinosaur evolution and extinction. Imagine cracking open an egg and finding the exact moment in history inside! #Science #Dinosaurs #ScienceNews40Share
martinezlaura+FollowDino Drama: Brontosaurus or Apatosaurus?Did you know the dino we all called Brontosaurus was actually Apatosaurus for over a century? Turns out, these long-necked giants had a major identity crisis! Scientists flip-flopped on their names, and even museums got it wrong for decades. Now, new research might mean Brontosaurus is back. The prehistoric tea is HOT—who knew paleontology could be this dramatic? #Science #Dinosaurs #Apatosaurus00Share
Tamara Jones+FollowLand Animal That Outsized the Blue Whale?!Thought the blue whale was the biggest animal ever? Turns out, a dinosaur called Patagotitan mayorum once roamed Earth and was even longer than a blue whale—up to 131 feet! While whales are heavier, Patagotitan was the ultimate land giant, supporting its massive size on four sturdy legs. Imagine a creature so big, its head would poke out of a museum hall! Dinosaurs really knew how to go big or go home. #Science #dinosaurs #Patagotitan30Share
James Brady+FollowDino Eggs Filled With Crystals?!Imagine cracking open a dinosaur egg and finding it stuffed with sparkling crystals instead of baby dinos! That’s exactly what scientists in China just discovered—two nearly perfect, cannonball-sized eggs packed with glittering calcite. They even named a whole new species from these wild finds. Plus, in another part of China, they found dino eggs with actual embryos inside. These fossil eggs are giving us major clues about how dinosaurs lived, nested, and even parented millions of years ago. Nature is wild! #Science #Dinosaurs #Fossils00Share
