@WFS,World Fossil Society,Riffin T Sajeev,Russel T Sajeev A new paper appearing in Biology Letters describes the oldest-known fragmentary bat fossils from Asia, pushing back the evolutionary record for bats on that continent to the dawn of the Eocene and boosting the possibility that the bat family’s “mysterious” origins someday might be traced to Asia. A team based […]

July 14th, 2021 Riffin @WFS,World Fossil Society,Riffin T Sajeev,Russel T sajeev During the early Jurassic period, a squid-like creature was in the midst of devouring a crustacean, when it was interrupted by another marine beast, possibly a shark, that chomped into its squishy side and killed it, a new study finds. The shark swam away, but the crustacean and the […]

July 11th, 2021 Riffin @WFS,World Fossil Society,Riffin T Sajeev,Russel T Sajeev Scientists have discovered a new species of long-necked titanosaurian dinosaur in Tanzania that lived about 70 to 100 million years ago. The new species named Shingopana songwensis is a member of the gigantic, long-necked sauropods. Its fossil was discovered in the Songwe region of the Great Rift Valley […]

July 5th, 2021 Riffin @WFS,World Fossil Society,Riffin T Sajeev,Russel T Sajeev Dinosaurs roamed the Earth more than 65 million years ago, and paleontologists and amateur fossil hunters are still unearthing traces of them today. The minerals in fossilized eggs and shell fragments provide snapshots into these creatures’ early lives, as well as their fossilization processes. Now, researchers reporting in ACS […]

June 23rd, 2021 Riffin @WFS,World Fossil Society,Riffin T Sajeev,Russel T Sajeev We may recognize our world by its flowering plants and trees, but evolutionarily speaking angiosperms are the new kids on the block, coming after epochs when giant fungus ruled the Earth and nonflowering trees, including cycads and conifers, fed dinosaurs. A controversial study is now suggesting that flowering plants aren’t […]
