Crato Formation pterosaur diversity – the dawn of Araripe pterosaur era. We emphasize that the coexistence of the taxa is merely illustrative, since the lack of geological context for most pterosaur fossils from the Araripe Basin prevents a precise inference of contemporaneity.

claw flight China fossil Dinosauria bird
A 150-million-year-old fossil discovered in China reveals a bizarre early bird with sharp teeth, a dinosaur-like claw, and a body built for life on the ground rather than flight. Scientists believe it represents the earliest known example of flight loss in birds, overturning assumptions about how these animals evolved.

China Cambrian fossil
A 518-million-year-old ambulacrarian fossil from China suggests that the common ancestor of starfish and their relatives was not a burrowing worm; it was probably a tentacled animal that fed from the water around it.

A remarkable new dinosaur species has been identified from a fossil discovered on the Isle of Wight. The dinosaur, named Invictibellatrix amberina, was a formidable predator that lived approximately 120 million years ago (Early Cretaceous). Researchers from University College London (UCL) led the study, which has been published in the scientific journal "Royal Society Open
