Richard Vaughan+FollowMeet the Dino with Razor Teeth MysteryImagine a dinosaur we mostly know from its freaky, razor-sharp teeth—seriously, that’s Richardoestesia. This Cretaceous predator roamed the western US and Canada, but paleontologists are still scratching their heads about what it actually looked like. Its teeth are so unique, some think it was a fish-eater, others say it munched on small animals. The wildest part? Decades after its discovery, we still don’t have a full skeleton. It’s basically the dinosaur world’s ultimate cold case! #Dinosaurs #Paleontology #ScienceMystery #Science40Share
daniellopez+FollowT. rex’s “Dragon Prince” Cousin Found!Dinosaur drama alert: Scientists just ID’d a new tyrannosaur, Khan khuluu mongoliensis—the “Dragon Prince”—that lived 20 million years before T. rex! This little predator (only 13 feet long) bridges the gap between early, scrappy hunters and the giant T. rex we all know. Turns out, tyrannosaurs didn’t just pop up as kings—they migrated, evolved, and hustled their way to the top. Wildest part? The fossils were hiding in a museum drawer for decades! #DinosaurDiscovery #Tyrannosaur #Paleontology #History40Share
Patrick Simmons+FollowDino Egg Secrets Revealed by CT Scans!Imagine peeking inside an 80-million-year-old dinosaur egg—without cracking it open! Scientists just used CT scans to explore a rare Hadrosaur egg and a massive Ice Age beaver skull. While they didn’t spot a dino embryo, the egg is still perfectly intact (how wild is that?). The beaver skull? It’s the first of its kind at the museum and could spill secrets about how these giant rodents lived. Science is basically time travel! #DinosaurEgg #Paleontology #ScienceNews #Science457Share
jason40+FollowMeet T. rex’s Long-Lost ‘Dragon Prince’ CousinTurns out, T. rex wasn’t always the king! Scientists just ID’d a new dino from Mongolia called Khankhuuluu mongoliensis—aka the “Dragon Prince”—that lived 20 million years before T. rex. This guy was smaller, faster, and had steak-knife teeth for slashing smaller prey. Basically, it’s the missing link that shows how T. rex’s family went from speedy hunters to giant apex predators. Dino family drama just got way juicier! #Dinosaurs #TyrannosaurusRex #Paleontology #History70Share
Jessica Hodge+FollowIce Age Elk Drama Uncovered!Imagine stumbling on a 13,000-year-old elk, frozen in time, with bite marks from an American lion! Scientists in Minnesota found just that, revealing a wild Ice Age food chain: lions took down the elk, dire wolves and short-faced bears joined the feast, and even ancient DNA confirmed the drama. The best part? This find is changing what we know about how predators and prey survived (and died) at the end of the Ice Age. Nature’s true crime, anyone? #IceAgeMystery #Paleontology #WildlifeDrama #Science40Share
James Brady+FollowDino Drama at Hell Creek!Did you know there’s a real-life dinosaur graveyard in the US? The Hell Creek Formation is basically the ultimate time capsule—think T. rex vs. Triceratops, ancient mammals, and even fossilized plants! Scientists (and even regular folks) are still digging up wild secrets about the last days of the dinos and how mammals took over. It’s like Jurassic Park, but real—and still revealing new twists! #Dinosaurs #FossilFriday #Paleontology #Science10Share
Jessica Hodge+FollowJurassic Giant Twice the Size Discovered!Dino fans, get this: scientists just found a 33-foot-long sauropodomorph in China—twice as big as its closest cousin! Xingxiulong yueorum roamed 190 million years ago and is now the second known member of its genus. This massive, long-necked herbivore bridges the gap between early, smaller dinos and the iconic giants we all know. The coolest part? Its bones show features that popped up way earlier than anyone thought. Imagine what else is hiding in those ancient rocks! #Dinosaurs #JurassicParkVibes #Paleontology #Science131Share
Patrick Simmons+FollowStegosaur Skull Shakes Up Dino HistoryDino drama alert: Scientists just found the most complete stegosaur skull ever in Spain, and it’s rewriting everything we thought we knew about these spiky-backed giants. This rare fossil isn’t just a pretty face—it’s helping experts redraw the stegosaur family tree and even create a whole new dino group! Plus, the skull’s details hint that European stegosaurs may have eaten differently than their American cousins. Jurassic plot twist, anyone? #Dinosaurs #Paleontology #Stegosaur #Science40Share
Jessica Hodge+FollowMeet the Loki of Dinosaurs!A new dino just dropped: Lokiceratops, the flashiest, biggest horned dinosaur ever found in North America! Picture a 22-foot, 11,000-pound beast with wild, twisted horns and a frill that would make a peacock jealous. Scientists say it lived alongside four other horned giants, each rocking their own look—like a prehistoric runway show. Turns out, these horns were more about flirting and standing out than fighting. The fossil’s now in a museum, not a private collection, so everyone gets to gawk at this Cretaceous superstar! #DinosaurDiscovery #Lokiceratops #Paleontology #Science00Share
jason40+FollowDinosaurs in the Dark? Polar Forest Secrets!Imagine dinosaurs chilling in pitch-black winters near the South Pole! New research just revealed what their ancient Aussie forests actually looked like—think conifers, ferns, and the very first flowers battling it out under a warm, CO2-packed sky. Turns out, these polar dinos survived months of darkness and major plant drama, all while the world was heating up. If you’re into fossils, Australia’s got some wild spots to check out! #Dinosaurs #Paleontology #Australia #Science50Share
