 Late Cretaceous ostrich-like dinosaurs called Struthiomimus have been discovered in North America as fossils. About 2.5 meters long, Struthiomimus was clearly built for quick movement on powerful, well-developed hind limbs. In particular, the three-toed feet resembled birds because they had extraordinarily long metatarsals that, like those of birds, did not touch the ground. The cranium of Struthiomimus was small, toothless, and perched atop a thin, extremely flexible neck; the jaws were likely protected by a somewhat avian-like horny beak. The three-fingered hands at the ends of the long, thin forelimbs had sharp claws that were specialized for grabbing. The fact that all three fingers on the hand are almost the same length, as they are in all theropod members of the Ornithomimid subgroup, is diagnostic. Description Struthiomimus The dimensions and anatomical characteristics of Struthiomimus were different from those of closely related genera like Ornithomimus and Gallimimus. The...

The body of the organism is buried promptly after death in a medium that protects it from decomposition. The fossils are found in the rocks of various regions and are used to research the evolution of life, which is known through the fossil record...

 Many years ago, sharks used to patrol the ocean waters in Florida, losing their teeth during the transit. Some dropped their teeth while chewing down their prey. These fallen teeth were covered with sand and hence fossilized over the years. Fast forward to today, and you have creeks, rivers, and breaking waves eroding topsoil, exposing what was deposited on the ancient ocean floor millions of years ago. Yes, you read that right.

 The evolution of sharks is still a mystery to some context, and this huge water animal has many things to amaze humans. Megalodon, one of the biggest predators ever, is fascinating to people for a good reason. But is this apex predator still hiding in the shadowy depths of the ocean, or was it just an overgrown great white shark? The earliest megalodon fossils, identified as Otodus megalodon (sometimes called Carcharodon or Carcharocles megalodon), date to 20 million years ago. The gigantic shark ruled the oceans for the following 13 million years before going extinct only 3.6 million years ago. In addition to being the largest shark ever, O. megalodon was also one of the largest fish ever. According to estimates, it reached a maximum length of 15 to 18 meters, three times more than the largest great white shark ever seen. Why Are Megalodon Teeth So Prevalent? Sharks continuously develop teeth for the whole of their life. Sharks can go through up to 40,000 teeth in their lifespan,...

 Ankylosaurus magniventris was a dinosaur with many bone plates and a big bump at the end of its tail. This dinosaur lived in the late Cretaceous period. It ate plants and had a lot of armor-like skin on its back. This massive dinosaur with four legs had spiked bone plates all over its short, vast body. Ankylosaurus got its name from the Greek word for "fused lizard." Its hard, armor-like skin and the way its head was joined to the rest of its body gave it this name. Here are some fascinating facts about Ankylosaurus- Size Ankylosaurus moved, but it was almost as big and complex to attack as a military tank. Experts say that the dinosaur, about 30 feet long and weighing about 10,000 pounds, couldn't move much faster than a person can walk, about three miles per hour. Bone structure The "hyoid bone" is a U-shaped structure that helps hold the tongue in place. These tongues were heavy and flexible and lived in the mouths of Ankylosaurus' ancestors, which were ...
