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
Melvin Mosley+FollowDino Moms & Dads Were Total Softies?!Turns out, dinosaurs weren’t just giant lizards stomping around—they were actually pretty caring parents! Fossilized nests, baby dino bones, and even footprints show that some dinos built cozy nests, fed their hatchlings, and protected them from danger. Some even formed dino daycares! The biggest shocker? The infamous Oviraptor wasn’t an egg thief—it was just a devoted parent caught in the act of brooding. Who knew prehistoric parenting was so wholesome? #Science #Dinosaurs #FossilFinds10Share
James Brady+FollowT. rex Was WAY Bigger Than We Thought!Turns out, T. rex might have been an absolute unit—like, 70% heavier than we ever imagined! Scientists used computer models and now think the biggest T. rex could’ve weighed up to 15 tonnes. That’s almost double what we thought before. And get this: we probably haven’t even found the largest ones yet. Imagine what else is hiding underground! Modern tech is totally rewriting dino history. 🦖 #Science #Trex #Dinosaurs111Share
Samantha Johnson+FollowDino Jackpot in Canada’s Wild MountainsImagine hiking in the middle of nowhere and stumbling on a dinosaur goldmine! That’s what happened in northern British Columbia, where researchers just dug up over 90 fossils—including teeth from T. rex and Triceratops relatives. Some of these bones might even belong to totally new species. The site is so remote, they had to helicopter in! Can you believe we’re still finding new dinos in 2024? #History #dinosaurs #fossildiscovery90Share
Jessica Hodge+FollowT. rex Blood Vessels Found—Seriously!Okay, this is wild: scientists just found preserved blood vessels inside the bones of Scotty, the world’s largest T. rex. Not just bones—actual blood vessels, thanks to some high-powered x-rays. The best part? These vessels were in a rib that had a gnarly, partially healed fracture, so we might finally get a glimpse into how these dino giants healed from injuries. Paleontology just got a major upgrade! #Science #Trex #Dinosaurs141Share
James Brady+FollowMeet Dracula: The OG Sky MonsterImagine a flying beast with a wingspan bigger than a London bus—yeah, that’s “Dracula,” the largest pterosaur ever found! This prehistoric giant soared the skies 66 million years ago, hunting with a massive beak and claws. Its hollow bones made it light enough to fly, and fossils from Transylvania (of course) are giving scientists wild new insights. Honestly, I’d never leave my cave if this thing was around! #Science #prehistoric #dinosaurs30Share
Melvin Mosley+FollowDino DNA Drama: Birds Are Living Fossils!Plot twist: birds are basically dinosaurs with a wild backstory! Scientists just found proof that the asteroid that wiped out the dinos 66 million years ago left marks in bird DNA. Turns out, everything from their size to how helpless baby birds are comes from surviving that epic extinction. Next time you see a pigeon, remember you’re looking at a tiny, feathered survivor of Earth’s biggest disaster! #Science #dinosaurs #science91Share
Zachary Gutierrez+FollowDino Teeth Spill Jurassic Climate SecretsTurns out, dino teeth are more than just fossilized chompers—they’re time capsules! Scientists just figured out how to read ancient air and climate from the enamel of dinosaur teeth. These prehistoric bites locked in oxygen isotopes, revealing that CO₂ levels were sky-high during the Jurassic, and plants grew like crazy. Even wild volcanic spikes showed up in the data. Basically, T. rex teeth are now climate detectives, helping us understand Earth’s wild past—and maybe its future! #Science #dinosaurs #climatechange80Share
Michelle York+FollowJurassic T-Rex Twin Found in Asia?!A T-Rex lookalike just crashed the dino party—on the other side of the world! Meet Alpkarakush Kyrgyzicus, a massive predator dug up in Kyrgyzstan that’s giving T-Rex vibes with its huge skull and killer teeth. But get this: it had a horn and was probably even faster. The discovery is shaking up what we thought we knew about dino evolution. Imagine a world where T-Rex had cousins everywhere! #Science #Dinosaurs #Paleontology20Share
martinezlaura+FollowDinosaur tracks uncovered after Austin floodsFloodwaters in Northwest Travis County just revealed something wild—giant dinosaur footprints right where neighborhoods now stand! After the July storms, paleontologists found massive three-toed tracks from an Acrocanthosaurus, a 35-foot-long predator that once roamed what used to be a prehistoric beach. Even more surprising, some of these tracks have never been seen before. There are also huge round prints from a Paluxysaurus, a gentle giant. These discoveries are changing what we know about Texas’ ancient past. Imagine walking your dog and realizing you’re stepping where dinosaurs once hunted! What do you think these new finds could tell us about life here millions of years ago? #Science #Austin #Dinosaurs00Share
