A CT scan of a lesser-known, herbivorous dinosaur's skull shows that although it might not have been particularly "brainy," it possessed a distinctive set of characteristics similar to those seen in present-day animals that live partially underground, including a super sense of smell and outstanding
New insights into how dinosaurs weather mid-Cretaceous ecological change. A new study reveals how a newly discovered dinosaur species, named Iani smithi, provides crucial insights into significant ecological changes that transpired in North America around 100 million years ago. Living during the
The newly discovered dinosaur, Iani smithi, lived during the climatic upheavals of the mid-Cretaceous era and might be the last of its lineage, replaced by duckbill dinosaurs. This dinosaur, found in Utah, represents a critical transitional period in dinosaur history, affected by rising CO2 levels,
Findings also enhance understanding of dinosaur ecosystems in eastern North America. A scientific study reveals the discovery of new ornithomimosaur fossils from the Late Cretaceous Eutaw Formation of Mississippi. These ostrich-like dinosaurs, known as "bird-mimic" dinosaurs, lived in the ancient
