But new analysis of a hip bone from a Edmontosaurus revealed a patch of bone collagen, suggesting other fossils might have similar organic remnants “A DNA strand, like me, is a blueprint for building ...

A revolutionary study from the University of Liverpool has upended fundamental assumptions about the fossilization process, potentially transforming how scientists approach the study of ancient life.

A new study from the University of Liverpool has rewritten how we understand the fossilization process It was long believed that the fossilization process destroys all organic material But new ...

Tiny balls of mineral are opening a new window into the history of life on Earth. These millimeter-sized objects are more than half a billion years old – the fossilized embryos of animals that lived ...

A pilot study from North Carolina State University shows that nanoscopic 3-D imaging of ancient bone not only provides further insight into the changes soft tissues undergo during fossilization, it ...

They’re not many people’s favorite bird, likely due to their macabre associations, but recently a vulture has got the scientific community very excited. That’s because the vulture in question is ...

For many years, it was widely believed that fossils no longer contained any original organic molecules as the fossilization process was thought to destroy them. Now, a groundbreaking study, led by the ...

Palaeontologists discover molecular evidence of phaeomelanin, the pigment that produces ginger coloration. Phaeomelanin is now toxic to animals – this discovery may be first step in understand its ...

Tropical cyclones have been dangerous and deadly even since the time of giants, but paleontologists turned to some of the smallest reptile fossils to reveal the power of these storms. While the bigger ...

In a new study, a team of researchers used research on fossilizing techniques to create a new method for sealing cracks and fractures in rocks and bedrock using a 'concretion-forming resin'. This ...
