A Stunning Theropod Skull on Display
museum fossil Tyrannosaurus skull
During a visit to the Museum für Naturkunde (Berlin) we took the opportunity to photograph the beautiful skull of Tristan the Tyrannosaurus rex.  The skull is one of the most complete and best-preserved tyrannosaur skulls known to science.  The T. rex fossils, on display next to the skull material have been named Tristan Otto.  To

Les scientifiques pensaient les Denisoviens introuvables : cette découverte spectaculaire change désormais tout
Scientists thought the Denisovans were impossible to find: this spectacular discovery now changes everything
DNA China discovery skull
For fifteen years, the Denisovans had neither face nor outline. Just DNA extracted from a piece of Siberian bone the size of a fingernail. In 2025, an exceptional skull discovered in China changed everything. Homo longi, nicknamed the Dragon Man, finally gives a face to this phantom human group.

This prehistoric fish may explain how animals first walked on Earth
Antarctica skull
Scientists have peered inside the skull of a 380-million-year-old Antarctic fish that was closely related to the first animals to walk on land, revealing surprising clues about how life began its move out of the water. Using advanced neutron imaging, researchers discovered that Koharalepis jarviki had features suited for living near the water’s surface, including openings in its skull that may have helped it gulp air and a light-sensitive organ linked to day-night rhythms.

T. rex’s tiny arms may have evolved for a surprisingly brutal reason
jaw limb hunting predator prey Dinosauria skull
Why did T. rex have such tiny arms? Scientists now think it’s because its giant head became the ultimate hunting tool. Across multiple dinosaur groups, stronger skulls and crushing jaws evolved alongside shrinking forelimbs, especially in predators hunting enormous prey. In other words, once the bite became deadly enough, the arms may have stopped mattering.

Stunning 150-million-year-old stegosaur skull rewrites dinosaur evolution
fossil Dacentrurus Dinosauria Stegosauria discovery evolution skull
A spectacular dinosaur discovery in Spain is giving scientists a rare new look inside the world of stegosaurs. Paleontologists uncovered the best-preserved stegosaur skull ever found in Europe, belonging to the iconic plated dinosaur Dacentrurus armatus, which roamed Earth around 150 million years ago. Because stegosaur skulls are extremely fragile and almost never survive intact, the fossil is helping researchers uncover previously unknown details about how these armored giants evolved.
