A study led by researchers from the University of Michigan has unveiled the relationship between bird genomes and the mass extinction event that wiped out dinosaurs. This research reveals that the genetic markers within bird genomes, referred to as genomic fossils, hold insights into how birds evolved and adapted following the catastrophic event 66 million years ago. This study is published in the journal Science Advances.
A discovery in the field of paleontology has revealed the diversity of theropod dinosaurs during the Late Cretaceous Epoch. An international team of researchers led by National Geographic Explorer Diego Pol unearthed a new species of carnivorous dinosaur in Argentina. This newly discovered species is named Koleken inakayali, provides insights into the evolution of abelisaurid theropods in Patagonia just before the mass extinction event that wiped out the dinosaurs.
Scientists have recently uncovered a partial skeleton of a previously unknown dinosaur species in the town of Cinctorres, located in the Spanish province of Castellon.
