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 #Science121Share
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
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
