Ancient reptilian vegetarians: Scientists discover fossilized teeth of extinct crocs that dined on plants

Recently discovered 2.5-billion-year-old fossils may contain cyanobacteria that transformed Earth’s atmosphere with oxygen
Most living creatures on Earth need oxygen to live – as such, the element is considered one of the building blocks of life. With this in mind, it might come as a surprise to find out that oxygen wasn’t present in the atmosphere of the early Earth. Now, a recent study has discovered how unusually large, […]

10,000 year old “weapons factory” discovered by archeologists alongside remains of a wooly mammoth, whose tusks were used as raw materials
Paleontologists working on the island of Kotelny, a now-uninhabited Siberian island administered by Russia and located within the Arctic circle, have discovered a “weapons factory” where early humans took shards of mammoth tusks and sharpened them into knives and spears. Not only that, but this “weapons factory” was discovered right beside the remains of a felled […]
