Pachycephalosaurids had domed heads with thick, bony protuberances, which paleontologists hypothesized the dinosaurs used in courtship behavior, perhaps to determine which male would be allowed…
Pegomastax africanus is a new species of plant-eating dinosaur with tiny, 1-inch-long (2.5-centimeter-long) jaws, which was discovered in South Africa. It thrived during the Lower…
A particularly well-preserved bushy-tailed fossilized theropod could imply that most of the dinosaurs actually had feathers. The dinosaur, named Sciurumimus albersdoerferi lived 150 million years…
