Matthew Stevens+FollowCanada’s Real-Life Sea Monster UnveiledMove over, Nessie—Canada’s got its own sea monster! Scientists just ID’d a new prehistoric creature, Traskasaura sandrae, from fossils found on Vancouver Island. Picture a 40-foot neck, viper-like jaws, and a body like a mini whale. This beast was a top predator, diving down to snatch prey from above. Wildest part? Its bones have stumped experts for decades, but now BC finally has its own dino-era marine legend. Catch the fossils at the Courtenay Museum! #Paleontology #Dinosaurs #Canada #Science470Share
Matthew Stevens+FollowSea Monster Mystery Finally Solved!Remember that famous long-necked sea monster fossil from Vancouver Island? Turns out, it’s not just any elasmosaur—it’s a brand new species called Traskasaura sandrae! This 12-meter beast had super-strong teeth perfect for crushing ammonites and a neck with at least 50 bones. Scientists say it hunted by diving down on its prey, which is pretty wild. After decades of mystery (and even becoming BC’s official fossil), we finally know what this prehistoric weirdo really was! #FossilFind #Paleontology #SeaMonster #Science413Share
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+FollowWoolly Rhino Found in Alaska?!Ice Age plot twist: scientists just dug up a super well-preserved woolly rhino in Alaska’s permafrost—the first one ever found in North America! Not only does this mean these furry giants roamed way farther than we thought, but the rhino’s hair, skin, and even stomach contents are still intact. It’s basically a prehistoric time capsule, and it’s rewriting what we know about Ice Age megafauna and their wild journeys across continents. Can you imagine seeing one of these in the flesh? #IceAge #Paleontology #WoollyRhino #Alaska #ScienceNews #Science41Share
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
Michael Flores+FollowDino Mass Grave Mystery UnraveledImagine stumbling on a prehistoric crime scene: thousands of dinosaurs buried together in Alberta’s 'River of Death.' Paleontologists are piecing together how a whole herd of Pachyrhinosaurus—think Triceratops’ chunky cousin—met their end. The leading theory? A sudden, devastating flash flood wiped them out in an instant. Every dig uncovers more bones (literally hundreds per square meter!) and new secrets. It’s like Jurassic Park, but real—and the discoveries just keep coming! #Dinosaurs #Paleontology #RiverOfDeath #WalkingWithDinosaurs #Science302Share
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
