China's Neogene terrestrial strata are widely exposed. For example, the Linxia Basin in Gansu develops continuous strata from the Oligocene to the Pleistocene, covering the complete Neogene period and rich in mammal fossils. The rapidly evolving mammals are divided into An effective means to com...
On May 26, Zhou Zhonghe’s research team at the Institute of Vertebral Paleolithology reported in Scientific Reports a new pheasant fossil material with nearly complete skeleton preservation. The specimen was found in the Hezheng area of the Linxia Basin, an area adjacent to the Qinghai-Tibet...
Both sexes of Chilotherium have no horns. The snout of the mandible is strongly expanded laterally and has two huge tusks with sharp blades. The upper incisors have completely degenerated and disappeared. They flourished in Eurasia during the late Miocene. . Since the establishment of a new genus of...
Turtles are familiar animals, but their evolutionary history is one of the biggest mysteries in paleontology: whether they originated independently from anapora (no other openings in the skull behind the eye holes), or whether they were related to lizards and crocodiles. Along with dinosaurs...
The cave bear Ursus spelaeus (and its ancestor Ursus deningeri) is an iconic fossil species in Europe during the Quaternary Period and one of the earliest fossil species recognized by humans. The giant bears once roamed Europe and were known to live in caves. In the evolutionary history of more than...
Recently, PLoS ONE reported online that Platylomaspis serratus gen. et sp. nov., the earliest multi-branched fish discovered in the Silurian System of the Tarim Basin in Xinjiang, China, will The origin of multibranched fishes advanced from the Early Devonian to the Silurian Landoverian, abou...
The reduction in the number of fingers or toes has occurred many times in the evolution of tetrapods. The most famous example is the "Horse Fossil Sequence" (this is a series of equine fossils from primitive to progressive, which reveal the gradual reduction of limbs to one digit in the evolu...
There may be multiple versions of the story of the destruction of the world, and the extinction of life directly caused by an asteroid impact is only one of them. Were the massive climate changes that led to the extinction of the dinosaurs caused by volcanic eruptions? Or was it caused by an asteroi...
Dinosaurs are oviparous reptiles, and like birds, they reproduce by laying eggs. We know that some bird eggs are very large, such as goose eggs, which weigh about half a catty (250 grams), and ostrich eggs can reach about 1,500 grams. , so how big should a dinosaur egg be?In fact, dinosaurs came in...
Multiple U.S. media reported on the 24th, citing sources from the Texas Parks and Wildlife Service, that a severe drought caused the river to completely dry up.

It is one of the most famous dinosaurs. Its most distinctive appearance feature is a row of triangular...
Seismosaurus means "lizard that shakes the earth". It is now renamed as Diplodocus hardenii. It is the largest diplodocus in the Jurassic period and the largest dinosaur. The reason why it was called Seismosaurus before is because they can walk very quickly. It causes the earth to tremble, an...
