Eight species of dinosaurs were recently unearthed in the Prince Creek Formation of northern Alaska.¹ The latest discovery, published in Current Biology, claims the bones were near the North Pole at the time of their burial in Cretaceous System rocks (about 80-85 degrees north latitude).¹ This would give the region about 120 days of total darkness each year, makin

Scientists recently discovered a diverse assemblage of fossils in South Africa claimed to be some of the earliest land plants.¹ Known as seedless vascular plants, the fossils were determined to be from early Devonian system strata. Most shockingly, secular paleogeography models indicate these plants grew at about 75 degrees South Latitude, very close to the South Pole!
