WFS News: Study On prehistoric diets


@WFS,World Fossil Society,Riffin T Sajeev,Russel T Sajeev Whenever we think about extinct animals we often imagine them eating their favourite meals, whether it be plants, other animals or a combination of both. But are our ideas about extinct diets grounded within scientific reasoning, or are they actually little more than conjecture and speculation? New research, […]

WFS News: ROM mapping of ligamentous constraints on avian hip mobility: implications for extinct ornithodirans


@WFS,World Fossil Society,Riffin T Sajeev,Russel T Sajeev ROM mapping of ligamentous constraints on avian hip mobility: implications for extinct ornithodirans Armita R. Manafzadeh, Kevin Padian Studies of soft tissue effects on joint mobility in extant animals can help to constrain hypotheses about joint mobility in extinct animals. However, joint mobility must be considered in three dimensions […]
WFS News: Super-continental split likely occurred more recently than scientists previously thought?


@WFS,World Fossil Society,Riffin T Sajeev,Russel T Sajeev A nearly 130-million-year-old fossilized skull found in Utah is an Earth-shattering discovery in one respect. The small fossil is evidence that the super-continental split likely occurred more recently than scientists previously thought and that a group of reptile-like mammals that bridge the reptile and mammal transition experienced an […]

WFS News: Globally discordant Isocrinida (Crinoidea) migration confirms asynchronous Marine Mesozoic Revolution


@WFS,World Fossil Society,Riffin T Sajeev,Russel T Sajeev A new study of marine fossils from Antarctica, Australia, New Zealand and South America reveals that one of the greatest changes to the evolution of life in our oceans occurred more recently in the Southern Hemisphere than previously thought. The results are published today (17 May 2018) in […]
