Despite seeming like a relatively stable place, the Earth's surface has changed dramatically over the past 4.6 billion years. Mountains have been built and eroded, continents and oceans have moved ...

Researchers have found that fossilized dinosaur eggshells contain a natural clock that can reveal when dinosaurs lived. The technique delivers surprisingly precise ages and could revolutionize how ...

New research shows that fossilized dinosaur eggshells can be used to help scientists more precisely date prehistoric nesting ...

Fossils are invaluable archives of the past. They preserve details about living things from a few thousand to hundreds of millions of years ago. Studying fossils can help us understand the evolution ...

These radioactive elements decay at known rates, effectively acting as a built-in clock that reveals precisely when the eggs were buried millions of years ago. This natural timekeeping mechanism has ...

A new study is reshaping how scientists date dinosaur fossils in Alberta's Dinosaur Provincial Park (DPP). Using advanced drone-assisted 3D mapping, researchers have uncovered significant variations ...

Until now, accurately dating fossils has been one of paleontology’s major challenges. Most dating methods rely on surrounding volcanic materials such as zircon-bearing ash, which are absent in many ...

Dinosaur eggshells, once treated as background scenery in fossil digs, have turned out to be some of the most precise ...
