A recent finding at the Baza 1 site has revealed 124 new fossils, including remains of giraffes and prehistoric crocodiles, which allows for a better understanding of the fauna that inhabited Granada 4.5 million years ago in a tropical climate. #Paleontología #Granada #Fósiles (translated)
A team of Chinese paleontologists has discovered Yuezhuornis yangyuanensis, a new species of bird that lived 150 million years ago and suggests that early birds developed adaptations for terrestrial life, challenging the belief that their evolution was solely focused on improving flying ability. #EvoluciónDeLasAves #Paleontología #Fósiles (translated)
A team of researchers has found in Iraqi Kurdistan the possible first evidence of a Neanderthal killed by a wooden spear, with a perforation in the scapula suggesting a fatal impact that occurred 75,000 years ago. #Neandertales #Paleontología #Ciencia (translated)
An international team of paleontologists has identified a new species of carnivorous dinosaur, Invictibellatrix amberina, from a fossil discovered more than a century ago at the Natural History Museum in London, which is the first representative of megarraptors described in Europe. #dinosaurio #paleontología #Cretácico (translated)
The discovery of the new species of primitive bird 'Yuezhuornis yangyuanensis' raises the possibility that not all ancestors of modern birds sought to fly, as some adapted to a terrestrial life during the late Jurassic. #Paleontología #AvesPrimitivas #Evolución (translated)
A recent discovery at the Dewars Farm quarry in Oxfordshire reveals more than 200 fossilized dinosaur footprints from 166 million years ago, including sauropod tracks and a predator Megalosaurus, which provide new insights into their behavior and feeding habits. #Dinosaurios #Paleontología #Jurásico (translated)
A new species of extinct crocodile, Herugavialis cairensis, is discovered in Egypt, whose source rocks are associated with the construction of the Great Sphinx and exhibits notable similarities, such as the lack of a snout tip. #Cocodrilos #Fósiles #Paleontología (translated)
Recent research led by Giacomo Gobbo suggests that sauropods, such as Camarasaurus, may have had jaws covered by a keratinous structure similar to a beak, while still retaining teeth, thereby challenging traditional representations of their anatomy. #Saurópodos #Paleontología #Camarasaurus (translated)
An international team of paleontologists has reclassified a prehistoric crocodile discovered near the Great Sphinx of Giza, identifying it as a new species called Herugavialis cairensis, after analyzing its fossilized skull and resolving questions about its evolutionary classification. #CocodriloPrehistórico #Eoceno #Paleontología (translated)
A team of paleontologists has discovered in Argentina a new species of saber-toothed predator, Pampaluctor calibar, which shows that these South American carnivores survived until the late Pliocene or early Pleistocene, challenging the previous belief about their extinction. #Paleontología #Argentina #EspeciesExtintas (translated)
The dinosaur Jodi, a rare fossil skeleton of the genus Nanotyrannus discovered in Montana and initially mistaken for a baby T-rex, will be auctioned at Sotheby’s in New York with an estimated value between 6 and 9 million dollars. #Dinosauri #Paleontologia #Sothebys (translated)
A new study reveals that the first animals on Earth may have emerged between 800 and 700 million years ago, 200 million years earlier than previously thought, challenging established notions about animal evolution by demonstrating that the absence of fossils does not imply the absence of life. #Paleontología #EvoluciónAnimal #Fósiles (translated)
Un científico puede creer en Dios, e incluso en el Atlético de Madrid #JuanLuisArsuaga #Paleontología #CienciaYReligión
El paleontólogo Juan Luis Arsuaga reflexiona sobre la ciencia, la fe y la cultura en una entrevista, destacando la importancia de la divulgación del conocimiento y su amor por la paleontología, así como la necesidad de un mayor aprecio por la literatura y el pensamiento crítico en España. #JuanLuisArsuaga #Paleontología #CienciaYReligión
Un estudio reciente ha revelado que el Tyrannosaurus rex tenía una temperatura corporal aproximada de 36 °C, comparable a la de los humanos, desafiando la percepción de estos dinosaurios como reptiles de sangre fría. #TyrannosaurusRex #SangreCaliente #Paleontología
Un fósil guardado durante 60 años en el Museo de Historia Natural de Londres ha llevado al descubrimiento de una nueva especie prehistórica, el Dinodontosaurus isiyavamanda, que habitó la Tierra hace 240 millones de años y establece conexiones entre los fósiles de Tanzania y Sudamérica. #Paleontología #Fósiles #Dinodontosaurus
El hallazgo del Diplodocus en Teruel, que se convierte en el primer registro científico de este dinosaurio fuera de Norteamérica, marca un importante avance en la paleontología y en la comprensión de las conexiones entre Europa y América durante el Jurásico Superior. #Diplodocus #Paleontología #Teruel
Una nueva especie de sinápsido, denominada Dinodontosaurus isiyavamanda, ha sido identificada en Tanzania a partir de fósiles descubiertos hace más de 60 años, lo que podría redefinir la cronología de la evolución temprana de los dinosaurios. #Dinodontosaurus #Fósiles #Paleontología
Un análisis reciente de la resistencia ósea sugiere que los australopithecos combinaban el balancín en los árboles con el bipedismo, pero un salto evolutivo hace 1,8 millones de años los ancló definitivamente al suelo. #EvoluciónHumana #Bipedismo #Paleontología
Un nuevo estudio revela que el Tyrannosaurus rex era de sangre caliente, manteniendo una temperatura corporal de 36,3 grados Celsius, similar a la de los humanos. #TiranosaurioRex #Paleontología #Dinosaurios
