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 ...
Dooley et al. (2025) reevaluate the affinities of mastodon fossil material from Oregon and Washington (United States), Alberta and Hidalgo and Jalisco (), extending known geographical range of Mammut pacificus, and providing probable evidence of presence of both M. pacificus and M. americanum in close geographical proximity.
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 ...
Scientists discovered a 520-million-year-old fossilized larva with brains and guts intact, offering unprecedented insights into early arthropod evolution.
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.
Scientists working in southwest England have found the oldest fossilized forest known on Earth, according to a new study. Fossilized trees dating back 390 million years are world’s oldest Skip ...
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 ...
The structures are considered to be one of the oldest ecosystems on Earth, according to NASA, representing the earliest fossil evidence for life on our planet from at least 3½ billion years ago.
