Fossil Evidence Reveals Fatal Attack Between Terror Bird and Giant Caiman
Analysis of a 13-million-year-old terror bird fossil from Colombia's Tatacoa Desert reveals bite marks matching an extinct caiman species, Purussaurus neivensis, suggesting a fatal attack between two apex predators of the Middle Miocene epoch.

Sauropod Cololite Confirms Herbivorous Diet and Role in Angiosperm Dispersal
Analysis of a 100-liter cololite from an 11-meter-long Diamantinasaurus matildae in northeastern Australia reveals a diet of conifers, ferns, and angiosperms, confirming sauropods' herbivory and their role in angiosperm dispersal during the Cretaceous period (94-101 million years ago).

Megalodon's Diverse Diet and Potential Extinction Drivers Revealed
A new study analyzing zinc isotopes in fossilized megalodon teeth reveals the extinct shark's diet was more varied than previously thought, consuming smaller animals alongside larger prey, and suggests competition with evolving great white sharks might have contributed to its extinction.

New Research Suggests Megalodon Was 80 Feet Long and Sleek
A new study suggests the extinct megalodon shark, previously thought to be up to 50 feet long, could have reached 80 feet (24 meters), with a sleeker body shape resembling a lemon shark rather than a great white, according to a study published Sunday in the journal Palaeontologia Electronica.
