Jessica Hodge+FollowAncient Croc That Hunted Dinosaurs?!Imagine a crocodile so fierce it hunted dinosaurs! Scientists just found fossils of Kostensuchus atrox, a 70-million-year-old hypercarnivore in Argentina. This beast was 11.5 feet long, weighed 550 pounds, and had a snout and teeth made for serious hunting. Named after an Egyptian god, it was one of the top predators of its time—basically, dinosaurs had to watch their backs! The Cretaceous period was truly the land of crocs, not just dinos. #Science #FossilFind #Dinosaurs102Share
Michael Flores+FollowDinosaurs vs. Belief: The Ultimate Plot TwistImagine thinking the world’s only 6,000 years old, then boom—giant dinosaur bones and Darwin’s evolution theory drop, flipping everything upside down. The Victorians totally freaked out, debating if we’re special creations or just part of nature’s wild experiment. Some clung to old beliefs, others tried to blend science and faith, and dinosaurs became pop culture icons. Turns out, science and religion didn’t have to be mortal enemies—they just had to learn to talk it out. Wild, right? #Science #Darwin #Dinosaurs31Share
Zachary Gutierrez+FollowDinosaurs Could Still Be Here?!Mind blown: Dinosaurs might not have been on their way out before that giant asteroid hit. New research says the fossil record is just super patchy, not proof they were dying off. If that space rock hadn’t crashed into Earth 66 million years ago, T. rex and Triceratops could still be roaming around with us today. Turns out, it was bad luck, not bad genes, that wiped them out! #Dinosaurs #ScienceNews #MindBlown #History #Fossils #Science613143Share
Brad Arroyo+FollowDino Found: Spikes, Armor & a Wild BackstoryImagine a dinosaur covered in wild spikes and armor, basically the Jurassic version of a tank! Scientists just uncovered a super complete Spicomellus afer fossil in Morocco, and it’s got an insane spiky collar, rib spikes, and a weaponized tail. Turns out, this dino was more about looking fierce than being smart. Bonus drama: fossil poachers are snatching up pieces and selling them online for big bucks. Nature is wild, but the fossil market might be wilder! #History #dinosaurs #fossils10Share
Patrick Simmons+FollowTiny Dinosaurs Were Total BadassesThink all dinosaurs were giant, stomping monsters? Think again! Some dinos were actually chicken-sized, but don’t let their size fool you—they were fierce predators with wild features like feathers, sickle claws, and even bat-like wings. From the four-winged Microraptor to the turkey-sized Velociraptor (way smaller than in Jurassic Park), these little guys ruled their own corners of the prehistoric world. Turns out, being small was a major evolutionary win—just look at birds today! #Science #Dinosaurs #ScienceFacts10Share
Debra Taylor+FollowThis Dino Was Basically a Punk RockerMeet Spicomellus, the dinosaur that would totally win 'Most Likely to Start a Mosh Pit.' Scientists just found new fossils showing this ancient herbivore was covered in wild bony spikes fused right onto its ribs—something no other animal has ever done. Imagine a hedgehog crossed with a tank, plus a tail weapon for good measure. Even dino experts are rethinking what they know about armor. Nature really went all out with this one! #History #dinosaurs #fossils00Share
Debra Taylor+FollowDino with Golf Club Spikes?!Meet Spicomellus, the Jurassic dino that took 'extra' to a whole new level. This four-meter-long, tank-like plant-eater was decked out in wild armor and spikes—some as long as a golf club! Scientists think these spikes weren’t just for fending off predators, but maybe for showing off to potential mates. Turns out, the oldest ankylosaur was also the flashiest. Who knew ancient dinosaurs had such a flair for drama? #History #dinosaurs #fossilfind00Share
Michelle York+FollowWhat If Dinosaurs Got Smart Like Us?Troodon wasn’t just another dino—it was basically the Einstein of the Cretaceous! With a brain way bigger than its dino peers, some scientists even wondered if Troodon could’ve evolved into a humanoid “dinosauroid” if the asteroid hadn’t hit. Imagine a world run by super-smart, bird-like dinos! While the idea’s more sci-fi than science, Troodon’s legacy proves dinos were way brainier than we thought. Mind. Blown. #Science #dinosaurs #Troodon00Share
Tamara Jones+Follow6 Dinosaurs That Are Basically OG BirdsMind blown: Birds are literally living dinosaurs! 🦖➡️🦜 Here are 6 prehistoric creatures that prove it: 1) Archaeopteryx – the classic dino-bird hybrid; 2) Microraptor – rocked four wings; 3) Velociraptor – feathered and fierce; 4) Sinosauropteryx – the first fuzzy dino; 5) Confuciusornis – early bird with a beak; 6) Anchiornis – had wild, colorful feathers. Feathers, hollow bones, and even nesting habits all started with these ancient beasts. Next time you see a pigeon, remember: you’re looking at a tiny dino! #Science #Dinosaurs #Birds10Share
James Brady+FollowThis Dino Bone Just Changed EverythingImagine thinking dino ancestors were tiny, only to find a 225-million-year-old leg bone that says otherwise! Scientists just re-examined a forgotten fossil from Zambia and realized it belonged to a massive silesaur—one of the earliest dino relatives. Turns out, early dinos might’ve started big and shrunk over time. This one bone is flipping the whole dino timeline on its head. Who knows what else is hiding in museum drawers? #Science #Dinosaurs #FossilFind50Share
