Oldest European Human Face Found
A 1.1–1.4-million-year-old partial human face, nicknamed "Pink," was discovered in Spain's Sima del Elefante cave, representing the oldest known facial fragment in Europe and suggesting multiple hominin species coexisted there during that period.

Nearly Complete Pliosaur Skull Unearthed on England's Jurassic Coast
A nearly complete 6-foot-5-inch-long pliosaur skull, with a bite force 75% that of a T. rex, was discovered embedded in a Dorset, England cliff face on the Jurassic Coast; its extraction involved drones, CT scans, and specialized equipment due to the precarious location and constant erosion.

Lucy's Legacy: 50 Years of Revolution in Human Evolution
The discovery of Lucy in 1974 and subsequent paleogenetic breakthroughs have revolutionized the understanding of human evolution, revealing a complex, branching pattern rather than a linear progression, with multiple hominin species coexisting and intermingling.

Megalodon: Not a Giant Great White, but a Sleek, Energy-Efficient Predator
A new study suggests the extinct Megalodon shark, known from films like "Meg," was not a larger Great White shark but a sleeker, 24-meter-long creature resembling a Lemon shark, weighing approximately 94 tons, and built for energy-efficient travel, as determined by comparing its fossilized vertebra ...

Oldest Rune Stone Hints at Female Role in Scandinavian Writing
A 2,000-year-old rune stone unearthed in Norway in 2021 contains inscriptions that may reveal the name of a woman and possibly the earliest known female rune-inscriber, challenging assumptions about the origins of runic writing in Scandinavia and linking its development to early contact with the Rom...

Late Triassic Amphibian Adapted to Extreme Heat by Burrowing
A newly discovered species of small, carnivorous amphibian, *Ninumbeehan dookoodukah*, from the Late Triassic period in Wyoming, survived by burrowing underground during dry seasons, demonstrating adaptation to extreme heat and drought conditions prevalent in equatorial regions at that time.

Giant Saurolophus Footprint Found in Gobi Desert
Paleontologists discovered a 92-centimeter-wide Saurolophus footprint in the Gobi Desert, part of a 13-footprint trail suggesting a dinosaur exceeding 15 meters, larger than some Tyrannosaurus Rex, offering insights into its size, gait, and behavior unavailable from skeletal remains alone.

Ancient Dinosaur Fossils May Lie Hidden in the Amazon
A study suggests that the oldest dinosaur fossils may be undiscovered in the Amazon and other equatorial regions of Gondwana, millions of years older than the current oldest known fossils, pushing back their origin to a warmer, drier environment.
