We often think that mummies are only found in Egypt, but they have been discovered all over the world. They aren’t always human, either.

Evolutionary scientists discovered an ancient tsunami victim and a dog skeleton at ÇeÅŸme-BaÄŸlararası, a settlement on the coast of Turkey.¹ The researchers also found numerous marine shells mixed within the enveloping sediments, indicating that the waves washed in from the ocean.

Canadian scientists have found a massive dinosaur fossil graveyard in Alberta containing so many bones that it calls into question the standard stories of slow and gradual dinosaur fossil formation. No mere river flood could account for so many casualties. So, the researchers proposed that the cause was something much more violent.

Straddling the border of Utah and Colorado, Dinosaur National Monument (DNM) is one of the richest exposures of dinosaur fossils in the world.¹ But not just dinosaurs are on display. DNM also contains equally breathtaking rock exposures and sheer canyons.

Casual observers are not the only ones who puzzle over dinosaur footprint origins. After all, other animal tracks in mud are not fossilized today because erosive processes rapidly erase them. If a rock layer requires thousands of years to solidify, then how were dinosaur tracks recorded in them?
