PARIS: A giant crocodile-faced dinosaur, discovered on the Isle of Wight by one of Britain’s best fossil hunters, was probably the largest predator ever to stalk Europe, scientists said on Thursday. Most of the bones of the two-legged spinosaurid were found by the late local collector Nick Chase, who dedicated his life to combing the beaches of the island on England’s southern coast for dinosaur remains. Researchers at the University of Southampton then used the few bones available to identify w

Matt Lamanna, palaeontologist and the principal dinosaur researcher at Carnegie Museum of Natural History in Pittsburgh, studies dinosaurs and has the exciting job of naming newly discovered species.He told Discovery Education: “ One of the reasons I did well in math when I was at school is because I knew that it would help me as a palaeontologist.“ One huge part of palaeontology is getting funding to continue your research and so when you are putting together a budget-in other words figuring ou

LONDON( REUTERS)-Fossils found on a rocky beach show there was double trouble on England's Isle of Wight about 127 million years ago, with a pair of large previously unknown dinosaur predators living perhaps side by side, both adapted to hunting along the water's edge. Scientists on Wednesday( Sept 29) announced the discovery of fossils of the two Cretaceous Period meat-eaters-both measuring about 30 feet long( 9m) and boasting elongated crocodile-like skulls-on the south-west of the island, one

WASHINGTON( AFP)-Dinosaur species large and small didn't just pass through the Arctic-they made it their year-round home and probably developed wintering strategies like hibernation or growing insulating feathers, according to a new study. The paper, published on Thursday( June 24) in the journal Current Biology, is the result of more than a decade's worth of painstaking fossil excavations from a remote region of northern Alaska." A couple of these new sites we found in the last few years turned

After speaking to Rutland council, experts from the University of Leicester were called and the ichthyosaur skeleton was identified.
