New Prehistoric Reptile Species Discovered in New Mexico Offers Insights into Evolution

New Prehistoric Reptile Species Discovered in New Mexico Offers Insights into Evolution

Scientists have identified a new prehistoric reptile species, Labrujasuchus expectatus, from fossils found in a Triassic quarry in New Mexico. This species, which lived approximately 212 million years ago, is a distant relative of modern crocodiles. Unlike its relatives, it had a beak, no teeth, and tiny arms, and walked on two hind legs. The discovery was made by a team led by Alan Turner, a professor of anatomical sciences at Stony Brook University. The findings, published in the Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology, highlight subtle differences that distinguish this species from other North American shuvosaurids.

New Mosasaur Species Identified in Texas, Redefining Prehistoric Marine Predators

New Mosasaur Species Identified in Texas, Redefining Prehistoric Marine Predators

Scientists have identified a new species of mosasaur, Tylosaurus rex, from fossils found in northern Texas. This massive marine reptile, which lived about 80 million years ago, was one of the largest and most aggressive of its kind. The discovery was made by researchers from the American Museum of Natural History, Dallas' Perot Museum of Nature and Science, and Southern Methodist University. The findings suggest that some museum specimens may have been misclassified, prompting a reevaluation of existing collections.

Discovery of Dinosaur Tail in Canada Sheds Light on North America's Prehistoric Fauna

Discovery of Dinosaur Tail in Canada Sheds Light on North America's Prehistoric Fauna

Researchers have discovered an 80-million-year-old dinosaur tail on Denman Island, off the coast of British Columbia, Canada. This fossil is believed to belong to an ornithomimosaur, a type of fast-running, bird-like theropod dinosaur that lived during the Cretaceous period, approximately 145 to 66 million years ago. The tail bone, identified as the 10th bone of the caudal vertebra, was found isolated and is thought to have been deposited on the island by a floating carcass or transported by another scavenging dinosaur. The discovery was made through CT scans and 3D modeling, which compared the fossil to known ornithomimosaur and tyrannosaur skeletons. This finding provides the clearest evidence yet that these ostrich-like dinosaurs once roamed the Pacific coastline of North America.
