Researchers have discovered the first evidence of dinosaur respiratory infection, using the fossilized remains of a young diplodocid - a large, herbivorous sauropod dinosaur with long neck. The specimen was discovered in southwest Montana, US, dating back to the Late Jurassic Period of the Mesozoic Era.
A new study suggests that three-toed, carnivorous dinosaurs may have ran as quickly as a modern vehicle. These theropods rushed through mushy lakebed mud some 10 million years ago, leaving behind tracks that paleontologists were able to analyze. Theropod tracks provide an idea of how fast dinosaurs were able to run.

These stones were conveyed over 600 miles in the belly of a dinosaur. A new study discovered that during the Mesozoic Era, dinosaurs with long necks migrated hundreds of miles across what is now called the American Midwest. How do scientists know that these huge beasts migrated?

The Pink Stones
The dinosaurs swallowed pink stones in what is now Wisconsin, walked westward over 1,000 kilometers (600 miles), and then passed away in the region that s now called Wyoming, abandoning the stones in a new location.
Josh Malone, a lead researcher on the study, also a graduate student in the Jackson School of Geosciences at the University of Texas at Austin, told Live Science: We believe that these stones were conveyed from southern Wisconsin to north-central Wyoming in the dinosaur s belly.

Researchers have discovered in Argentina s Patagonian skeletal remains of what may be a member of the oldest-known dinosaur group known as titanosaurs that includes the largest land animals in the history of Earth.
The incomplete skeletal remains of the dinosaur were found south of the city of Neuquen. Scientists said the discovery of skeletons, symbolizing a species of dinosaur named Ninja Titan Zapata, reveals that it first appeared longer ago than they initially thought.
Scientists said on Monday, The skeletons symbolize a dinosaur species named Ninja Titan Zapata that existed during the Cretaceous period, 140 million years ago. Researchers know Ninja titan as a group of long-necked plant-eating dinosaurs that walked on four pillar-like legs (titanosaurs).
