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
Michael Flores+FollowTiny ancient shark found in Mammoth CaveA fossil find in Kentucky’s Mammoth Cave just rewrote what we know about ancient sharks. Scientists uncovered a never-before-seen species, Macadens olsoni, with a jaw full of teeth arranged in a way no other shark has ever shown—just one row on each side and three big teeth up front. This little predator, less than a foot long, likely snacked on mollusks and worms 340 million years ago. It’s wild to think such unique creatures once swam where we now walk underground. What other surprises might be hiding beneath our feet? #Science #MammothCave #FossilDiscovery10Share
Matthew Stevens+FollowSpain Just Found a New Dino!Dino lovers, get this: scientists in Spain just dug up a brand new sauropod species called Qunkasaura pintiquiniestra! This giant roamed the Iberian Peninsula 75 million years ago and is one of the most complete dino skeletons ever found in Europe. What’s wild? It shows two totally different dino lineages were chilling in the same spot. The Lo Hueco site is basically a prehistoric goldmine—who knows what they’ll find next? #dinosaurs #paleontology #Spain #fossildiscovery #Qunkasaura #Science130Share
daniellopez+FollowJurassic Sky Giant Unearthed!A massive 167-million-year-old pterosaur fossil just popped up in Oxfordshire, and it’s blowing paleontologists’ minds! This ‘flying reptile’ is not only one of the oldest and biggest ever found, but its crazy well-preserved bones are rewriting what we know about how these creatures took to the skies. Turns out, pterosaurs might’ve had huge wingspans way earlier than anyone thought. Museums are already lining up to show it off—can you imagine seeing this ancient sky beast up close? #JurassicFind #Pterosaur #FossilDiscovery #Paleontology #ScienceNews #Science81Share
