One of the oldest and most complete plesiosaur fossils recovered in North America, and the oldest yet discovered from the Cretaceous Period, represents a new genus of the prehistoric aquatic predator according to University of Calgary palaeontologists who have formally described the creature after its remains were uncovered in a Syncrude Canada Ltd. mine near Fort McMurray in 1994.

Fossilized remains of two carnivorous dinosaurs unveiled a new secret of life in Africa’s Cretaceous period. The dinosaurs lived in the Sahara Desert 110 million years ago.

One of the world's oldest and probably the most primitive duck-billed dinosaurs, that possessed a built in horn to woo females, has been found in Mexico.

A new species of dinosaur unearthed in Mexico is giving scientists fresh insights into the ancient history of western North America, according to an international research team led by scientists from the Utah Museum of Natural History at the University of Utah.

Scientists from the University of Bonn are researching which plants giant dinosaurs could have lived off more than 100 million years ago. They want to find out how the dinosaurs were able to become as large as they did. In actual fact such gigantic animals should not have existed. The results of the research have now been published in the journal 'Proceedings of the Royal Society B'.

An unusual dinosaur has been shown to have a skull that functioned like a fish-eating crocodile, despite looking like a dinosaur. It also possessed two huge hand claws, perhaps used as grappling hooks to lift fish from the water.

Asteroid impacts or massive volcanic flows might have occurred around the time dinosaurs became extinct, but a new book argues that the mightiest creatures the world has ever known may have been brought down by a tiny, much less dramatic force – biting, disease-carrying insects.

A team of Chinese and American scientists discovered a new mammal from the 165 million-year-old lakebeds of the Jurassic Period in Northern China. This new find sheds light on the earliest mammalian evolution, especially the convergent evolution of the important tribosphenic teeth among early mammals.

Scientists have discovered how dinosaurs used to breathe in what provides clues to how they evolved and how they might have lived.

A series of monumental volcanic eruptions in India may have killed the dinosaurs 65 million years ago, not a meteor impact in the Gulf of Mexico. The eruptions, which created the gigantic Deccan Traps lava beds of India, are now the prime suspect in the most famous and persistent paleontological murder mystery, say scientists who have conducted a slew of new investigations honing down eruption timing.

Carnegie Museum of Natural History kicks off the public campaign of Adopt–A–Bone. This innovative and unique campaign allows members of the public to “adopt” their very own bones from dinosaurs like the armor–plated Stegosaurus, the gentle giant Diplodocus (often known as Dippy), and the ultimate predator Tyrannosaurus rex.

The paelo-artist team of Walters & Kissinger, LLC has been awarded the prestigious John J. Lanzendorf PaleoArt Prize for 2D art for the creation of what is believed to be the longest dinosaur mural in the world.
