A 7-Ton T. Rex Left Behind Something Scientists Had Never Seen Before
For more than a century, scientists have pieced together the life of Tyrannosaurus rex from bones, teeth and scattered fossil evidence.

The discovery began…
This T. Rex Fossil Could Change How Scientists Picture The Dinosaur

The place you call home may feel permanent, but the ground beneath your feet has been on an extraordinary journey for hundreds of millions of years.

Giant Fossil Egg Found In Antarctica Dates Back 66 Million Years
In one of the coldest and most remote places on Earth, scientists uncovered a fossil that looked more like a strange rock than anything alive. It was wrinkled, oddly shaped, and about the size of a deflated football. For years, it sat quietly in a museum collection, puzzling researchers who were unsure what exactly they…
