China's first dinosaur fossil skeleton was unearthed from the east slope of Shawan, Lufeng County, Yunnan Province in 1939. Academician Yang Zhongjian, the pioneer and founder of vertebrate paleontology in my country, named it Lufengosaurus Xu. Lufengosaurus Xu is not only the first dinosaur
As a large animal family, dinosaurs have ruled the world for more than 100 million years. However, as far as the dinosaur family is concerned, not all different species co-existed. Some species only appeared in the Triassic, some only lived in the Jurassic, and some species only appeared in t
So far, the largest dinosaur we have discovered is Seismosaurus, which was 39 to 52 meters long! Height can reach 18 meters! ! The weight reaches 130 tons! ! ! In other words, if 2 to 3 seismic dragons stand together head to tail, they can line up from one gate of the football field to anothe
The Zada Basin is located in the Xiangquan River Basin in the west of the Tibet Autonomous Region, with an altitude of 3,700 to 4,500 meters. It is administratively under the jurisdiction of the Ngari Prefecture. The Xiangquan River is the second largest river in the Ali region and the upper
In the 1990s, an American paleontological expedition discovered the world's longest dinosaur footprint fossil ever found on a mudflat on the border of Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. Among them, five tracks are longer than the world's longest dinosaur track found in Portugal, which extends 147 m
In early 1957, the 4th Regiment of the 2nd Detachment of the Geological Survey Division of the Sichuan Petroleum Administration Bureau, led by Xu Jiaren, the leader of the geological team, came to Gulou Mountain in Taihe Township in order to conduct oil and natural gas exploration in the Hech
From the end of 1996 to the beginning of 1997, many news media around the world rushed to report on the "most primitive bird" - Sinosaurus unearthed in Sihetun, Beipiao City, Liaoning Province, China. Researcher Ji Qiang, a researcher of Sinosauropteryx and director of the China Geological Mu
In 1993, some paleontologists in the United States discovered the complete fossil skeleton of a carnivorous dinosaur in the Sahara Desert of Niger, an African country, and called it the "African Hunter." The "African Hunter" is nearly 10 meters long, with a long skull, powerful forelimbs, sha

Q1: What is the oldest bird in the world? A: So far, the oldest bird fossil found in the world is the Archaeopteryx fossil found in Solnhofen, Germany.

Q1: In what era did pterosaurs live? A: Pterosaurs originated in the Late Triassic about 220 million years ago and became extinct at the end of the Cretaceous 65 million years ago. They successfully survived on Earth for 150 million years and flew into the sky about 70 million years ea
Through the research of archaeologists, we can know that dinosaurs lived in the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous periods. These three periods added up to a total of about 160 million years, which means that dinosaurs once ruled the earth for 160 million years. Hundreds of millions of years a
I'm sitting in Jakob Vinther's office, trying to find the right words to formulate the question I want to pose: Did Tyrannosaurus rex have a - and that's a shameful word - penis? "So I have to..." I stammered, getting more and more panicked. "...You have to mate," Professor Winsor responded l
A latest British natural science research found that the reason why modern snakes can successfully survive and reproduce around the world must be thanks to the meteorite, an alien object that hit the earth 66 million years ago and exterminated most species, including dinosaurs. Scientists say
It was a disaster we could hardly imagine. 66 million years ago, an asteroid with a diameter of 15 kilometers hit the earth. Its power was equivalent to 10 billion Hiroshima nuclear bombs. The radioactive fireball reduced everything within hundreds of miles to scorched earth, and the impact c
Tyrannosaurus rex was extinct tens of millions of years before we humans appeared on the earth. It is unlikely that we will see tyrannosaurus again in the foreseeable future. Unlike the basic idea of the movie, scientists are very sure that we cannot clone it yet. Dinosaur. The biggest re
Tyrannosaurus Rex is the most important character among the many dinosaurs that appear in the movie "Jurassic Park". In the movie, Tyrannosaurus is brutal and aggressive by nature. The human beings in the movie are most afraid of Tyrannosaurus.
