Microscopic Tooth Scratches Unlock Secrets of Sauropod Dinosaurs
The first study to utilise microscopic damage on sauropod dinosaur teeth, a method known as Dental Microwear Texture Analysis (DMTA), has shed light on the feeding habits and locomotion of herbivores 150 million years ago, according to new findings reported on September 7, 2025, by Freie Universität Berlin.

Tyrannosaurus Rex Fossils Are Being Horded by Private Buyers, Study Claims
A new study has found that the private trade in Tyrannosaurus rex fossils is hampering researchers' understanding of the iconic Cretaceous predator. Thomas Carr, an associate professor of biology at Carthage College, found that there are now more scientifically valuable T. rex specimens in private or commercial ownership than in public museums and ...

Biggest Dinosaur Trackway in the UK With More Than 200 Footprints Reportedly Discovered
Over 200 dinosaur footprints, dating back 166 million years, have been discovered at Dewars Farm Quarry in Oxfordshire. The site, considered the largest of its kind in the UK, includes tracks from species such as the long-necked Cetiosaurus and the carnivorous Megalosaurus. Experts believe the tracks were preserved by a natural event, offering new ...

Fossils of Dinosaur With Armoured Plate and Bony Spikes Found, Could Withstand Impacts From Car Crash
Borealopelta markmitchelli, an armoured dinosaur from the Early Cretaceous, possessed highly durable keratin armour. A recent study reveals that its armour was capable of withstanding impacts equivalent to modern car crashes. This robust structure, a thick keratin sheath over bony plates, likely served both for predator protection and for combat am...

Mammals Needed Muscles More Than Brain After Asteriod Doomed Dinosaurs
In the aftermath of the asteroid impact 66 million years ago that doomed the dinosaurs, it appears that brawn was more important than brains for the mammals that managed to survive the calamity and conquer a changed world.

Did Dinosaurs Decline Before Chicxulub Meteor Strike? New Study Answers
Dinosaurs may have been in decline millions of years before the meteor strike often attributed to their extinction, according to research published Tuesday examining the role played by changing climate.

Dinosaurs Lived And Thrived In Ancient Arctic, Says Study
Dinosaur species large and small didn't just pass through the Arctic -- they made it their year-round home and probably developed wintering strategies like hibernation or growing insulating feathers, according to a new study.
