James Brady+FollowCanada’s Real-Life Sea Monster UnveiledMove over, Nessie—Canada’s got its own prehistoric sea monster! Scientists just ID’d a new elasmosaur called Traskasaura sandrae, and it’s wild. Picture a creature with a 40-foot neck, viper-like head, and jaws made for crushing ancient shells. This fossil mystery stumped experts for decades, but now BC can officially claim its own Mesozoic marine beast. If you’re into dinosaurs or just love weird animal facts, this is one for the books! #Paleontology #Dinosaurs #Canada #FossilFind #ScienceNews #Science373Share
Michael Flores+FollowArchaeopteryx Fossil Drops Major Bird BombshellImagine a fossil locked away for decades finally revealing its secrets—and it’s a total game-changer. Scientists just got their hands on a super-rare Archaeopteryx (the OG bird) fossil, and it’s so well-preserved, they found feathers that prove this dino-bird could actually fly! Not just glide—like, real powered flight. Plus, the fossil shows clues about how birds evolved their bendy beaks. The best part? There’s still more to uncover. Evolution just got a juicy new chapter! #FossilFind #Archaeopteryx #BirdEvolution #ScienceNews #Paleontology #Science30Share
megangibson+FollowAncient Sea Monster Found in Mississippi?!Imagine stumbling on a 30-foot sea monster fossil while out collecting rocks! Geologists in Mississippi just unearthed a massive vertebra from a mosasaur—a giant marine lizard that ruled the seas back when dinosaurs roamed. This isn’t your average fossil find; it’s the biggest mosasaur piece ever discovered in the area. Picture jaws dropping as they realized what they’d found. These beasts could grow up to 50 feet and had 60 razor-sharp teeth. Mississippi just got a little wilder! #FossilFind #SeaMonster #Mosasaurs #Paleontology #Mississippi #Science70Share
Jessica Hodge+FollowAncient Claw Prints Just Changed EverythingImagine thinking you know when our earliest ancestors crawled onto land, only to find out we were off by 40 million years! Fossil hunters in Australia found claw prints that are now the oldest known evidence of land animals like reptiles—way older than scientists thought possible. Turns out, our amniote ancestors were already walking around during the Devonian period, surviving mass extinctions when most life didn’t. This discovery totally rewrites the timeline of life on Earth! #Evolution #ScienceNews #FossilFind #AncientHistory #MindBlown #Science00Share
Debra Taylor+FollowDino Graveyard Mystery Uncovered!Imagine stumbling on a riverbed packed with thousands of dinosaur bones—literally, skeletons stacked on skeletons! Paleontologists in Alberta are piecing together the story of a massive Pachyrhinosaurus herd wiped out in a single day, probably by a flash flood 73 million years ago. This 'River of Death' is a goldmine for dino research, with more bones than most sites ever dream of. The team’s only scratched the surface, but every dig is revealing more about these ancient giants! #Dinosaurs #Paleontology #ScienceNews #DinoDiscovery #FossilFind #Science30Share
eday+FollowDino-Bird Fossil Drops Major Flight SecretsThe tiniest Archaeopteryx ever just hit the spotlight, and it’s blowing scientists’ minds! This dino-bird fossil, now at Chicago’s Field Museum, is so well-preserved they found soft tissue and even feathers that prove it could actually fly. Thanks to crazy-advanced tech (think CT scans and UV lights), researchers uncovered details about how birds evolved from dinosaurs—like how their beaks move and how flight might’ve evolved more than once. After 160 years, this fossil is still serving up surprises! #FossilFind #Archaeopteryx #DinosaurToBird #ScienceNews #Paleontology #Science20Share
Zachary Gutierrez+FollowMeet the OG Long-Neck Dino!Dino fans, get this: scientists just found the oldest known rebbachisaur, a plant-eating giant from 94 million years ago! Named Cienciargentina sanchezi, this beast rocked a super-long neck and some seriously unique bones. Found in Argentina, it’s helping paleontologists fill in the dino family tree and rethink how these giants evolved. Who knew ancient Argentina was such a hotspot for dino drama? #Dinosaurs #Paleontology #FossilFind #ScienceNews #Argentina #Science40Share
Tamara Jones+FollowAncient Cicada Fossil Is Seriously Next-LevelA 47-million-year-old cicada fossil found in Germany is so well preserved you can literally see the veins in its wings! Scientists just named it Eoplatypleura messelensis, and it’s the oldest known "singing" cicada in Europe. The crazy part? Its male relatives probably made noise just like the ones that keep us up all summer. This find pushes back the cicada family tree by 20 million years—turns out these bugs have been buzzing way longer than we thought! #FossilFind #Cicada #ScienceNews #AncientHistory #NatureNerd #Science10Share
megangibson+FollowBaby Dinos in the Arctic?!Turns out, baby dinosaurs weren’t just passing through the Arctic—they actually lived and hatched there 70 million years ago! 🦕🦖 Scientists found tiny dino bones and teeth in Alaska’s icy ground, proving these little guys survived the freezing temps year-round. No eggshells, but enough fossil evidence to blow paleontologists’ minds. Imagine a herd of baby dinos chilling where only polar bears roam now! This totally rewrites what we thought about dino survival skills and their ability to handle the cold. #Dinosaurs #FossilFind #ArcticDiscovery #ScienceNews #PrehistoricLife #Science00Share
Richard Vaughan+FollowEchidnas: Secret Aquatic Pasts?!Plot twist: echidnas might actually be water babies at heart! 🦔💦 A 108-million-year-old bone just revealed that both echidnas and platypuses probably evolved from semi-aquatic ancestors, not land-dwellers like we thought. Turns out, that weird little monotreme humerus bone has more in common with platypuses than anyone expected. Basically, echidnas could be ex-swimmers who ditched the water for land life. Nature is wild! #Echidna #FossilFind #ScienceNews #Evolution #NatureIsWeird #Science280Share
