Geological history of Earth

“We have previously known that primitive arthropods were the dominant predators during the Cambrian, such as the bizarre-looking anomalocaridids”

Remains of a species of herbivorous dinosaur previously unknown in the southern hemisphere have been discovered in Chile, challenging long-held beliefs about the range of duck-billed dinosaurs, scientists said on June 17.

Measuring up to four meters in length and weighing a ton, Gonkoken nanoi lived 72 million years ago in the extreme south of what is now Chilean Patagonia.

Africa is breaking up or "rifting" into two parts and a new ocean is being born, scientists have said.
This opens the way for a whole new ocean to pass through that gap, writes Blic.
So, countries like Zambia and Uganda could one day have their own coastlines if the landmass continues to separate.

Scientists have found the remains of four species of dinosaurs, including a megaraptor, in an inhospitable valley in Chilean Patagonia that has emerged over the past decade as an important fossil deposit, researchers said on Jan. 11.

These life forms were essentially frozen in time when the salt crystals formed eons ago

Paleontologists in Portugal have unearthed the fossilized skeleton of what could be the largest dinosaur ever found in Europe.

The remains are thought to be those of a sauropod, a herbivorous dinosaur 12 meters (39 feet) tall and 25 meters long that roamed the Earth around 150 million years ago.

The nurse sharks were being fed at the time

The new specimen of ancient flying reptile, or pterosaur, measured around 30 feet (9 meters) long

It is noted that the target was located on the Kamchatka Peninsula, several kilometers to the east

The skull was found in South Africa
