Extinct Megalodon Shark Was an Opportunistic Feeder, Study Finds
A new study using zinc isotope analysis of Otodus megalodon fossils reveals that this extinct giant shark was an opportunistic feeder, consuming a variety of prey, and challenges previous assumptions of a whale-only diet. The research, published in Earth and Planetary Science Letters, used fossils f...

Dinosaur Mass Grave Reveals Catastrophic Flash Flood
Thousands of Pachyrhinosaurus fossils were discovered in a mass grave at Pipestone Creek in Alberta, Canada, suggesting a flash flood killed a migrating herd 72 million years ago during the Late Cretaceous period.

T. Rex Ancestors Migrated from Asia, Study Finds
A new study uses mathematical modeling and fossil evidence to conclude that Tyrannosaurus rex ancestors migrated from Asia to North America across the Bering Strait around 70 million years ago, experiencing a size increase linked to cooler climates and the extinction of competing predators.
