Eroding Hillside Reveals Dinosaur Skin Pattern

Recently, a fossil believed to be a juvenile duck-billed dinosaur was found in a hillside in Dinosaur Provincial Park, Canada.


Fresh Dinosaur Tracks Revive Rankling Mysteries

Droughts across north Texas dried the Paluxy River bed, famous for its dinosaur footprints. Ordinarily, the dinosaur tracks lie buried beneath water-covered mud, but dry conditions enabled workers to remove the mire that had long covered them at Dinosaur Valley State Park near Glen Rose.


Fossil Footprints Fit Flood Ice-Age Model

Anthropologists Thomas Urban (Cornell University) and Daron Duke (Far Western Anthropological Research Group) recently found preserved human footprints on an Air Force testing range located on the salt flats of Utah.1 These footprints are called “ghost tracks” because they are very hard to see except after rainfall when moisture can make them visible.


"Massively Exciting" Fossil Find

Now this is exciting: “Geologists have found the fossil of the earliest known animal predator. The 560-million-year-old specimen is the first of its kind, but it is related to a group of animals that includes corals, jellyfish and [sea] anemones living on the planet today.”1


Half-Billion-Year-Old Fossil Brains?

Once again, a recent and remarkable fossil discovery has been made challenging evolutionary theory. A strange arthropod (i.e. a radiodont) has been found in the Cambrian strata of the geologic column.
