Fossil evidence discovered in southern Alberta suggests a crocodile-like creature bit a flying reptile 76 million years ago, according to a new study published Thursday in the Journal of Paleontology.
In 2024, researchers from the universities of Oxford and Birmingham excavated a huge expanse of a quarry floor in Oxfordshire filled with hundreds of dinosaur footprints.
Paleontologist Caleb Brown said that the fossil is "exceptionally uncommon"—not least because the pterosaur was a juvenile.
Tens of millions of years after a young pterosaur took its last breath in present-day Canada, paleontologists are investigating its death.
The remains of the earliest dinosaurs may lie undiscovered in the Amazon and other equatorial regions of South America and Africa, suggests a new study.
The fossilized neck bone of a flying reptile unearthed in Canada shows tell-tale signs of being bitten by a crocodile-like creature 76 million years ago, according to a new study.
