Reijenga & Close (2025) study the fossil record of Phanerozoic marine animals, and argue that purported evidence of a relationship between the duration of studied clades and their rates of origination and extinction can be explained by incomplete fossil sampling. [44] Maletz et al. (2025) revise Paleozoic fossils with similarities to feathers ...
Evidence from the study of brain endocasts of extant and extinct mammals, indicative of cortical expansion in the areas of the brain involved in producing cognitive functions that began early on during the primate evolution, is presented by Melchionna et al. (2025), who argue that selection for complex cognition likely drove the evolution of primate brains.
Doughty et al. (2025) use a mechanistic model to study the relationship between seed size of flowering plants, their light environment and the size of animals in their environment, and predict a rapid increase of seed size during the Paleocene that eventually plateaued or declined, likely as a result of the appearance of large herbivores that opened the understory, reducing the competitive ...
"The sale of Sue was a turning point, I think, [for] the commercial sale of fossils," Spencer Lucas, a curator of paleontology at the New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science in ...
San Pedro High School discovered a deposit of marine fossils on campus in 2022 and began collaborating with local paleontologists to uncover secrets from the Palos Verdes Peninsula's geological past.
A rare dinosaur bone bed containing 115-million-year-old fossils has been unearthed in Maryland, officials and experts say. During a dig at Prince George’s County’s Dinosaur Park in Laurel in ...
The private sale of fossils has attracted criticism from paleontologists, as it presents an obstacle to fossils being publicly accessible to research. [2] Most countries where relatively complete dinosaur specimens are commonly found have laws against the export of fossils. The United States allows the sale of specimens collected on private ...
A fossil preparator handles fossils found in Petrified Forest National Park at the museum's demonstration lab. Visitors are not allowed to take fossils from the park.
