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 ...

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 ...

A new chemical process can transform waste sulfur into a lightweight plastic that may improve batteries for electric cars, reports a University of Arizona-led team. The new plastic has other potential ...

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 ...
