  Ankylosaurus is known to be a herbivore. It is believed to live in the late Cretaceous period and inhabited North America.  Ankylosaurus fossils   have been found in places such as Colorado, Montana, and Alberta.  Ankylosaurus Fossils are known to have the below-mentioned vital features: They lived in terrestrial habitats. They were herbivores. They existed from the Campanian age to 66 million years ago. They reproduced by laying eggs. Their 14 different specimens have been found by paleontologists.   Ankylosaurus is a genus of armored dinosaurs. Its fossils have been found in geological formations dating to the very end of the Cretaceous Period, about 68-66 million years ago in Western North America, making it among the last of the non-avian dinosaurs.   Ankylosaurus was believed to be a tank-like dinosaur. The entire top side was heavily protected from carnivores with thick, oval plates embedded (fused)...

Carcharodontosaurus is known to be a carnivorous dinosaur that lived during the Cretaceous period. It is also known to be large or even massive than Tyrannosaurus-rex.  Carcharodontosaurus is known to grow up to 11.1 to 13.5 meters. It weighed up to 2.9 metric tons. It is also believed that Carcharodontosaurus was a bipedal carnivore with strong hind legs for catching its prey.  It also had a large long skull, 1.6 meters, and massive bone-Cushing jaws filled with serrated teeth that may reach 8” long.  Carcharodontosaurus tooth  has fair and even serrations with very minimal damage and excellent enamel. The tip is also intact, an essential factor for teeth and claw fossils. Mosasaurs are known to be substantial extinct marine reptiles having a length of over 50 feet. They are known to be some of the fearsome predators ever to inhabit our oceans.  According to research, they first emerged during the Cretaceous period 90 million years ago. They become the ...

 Before starting anything, first, we have to know what fossils are? Fossils are the preserved remains impressions of any once living-thing from the past geological age. Only a small fraction of ancient organisms are preserved as fossils, and the organisms that have a solid and resistant skeleton are readily preserved. Fossils are important to us. They are tangible connections to life, landscapes and climates of the past. There are five different types of fossils that include: ·          Body fossils ·          Molds and casts ·          Petrification fossils ·          Footprint and trackways ·          Coprolites What Are Reptile Fossils? Reptiles have frequently invaded aquatic environments despite their physiological limitations as air breathers. Aquatic reptiles w...

  A former National Geographic grantee Stephen Brusatte has discovered 10 new dinosaur species. He has also led scientific studies that have rewritten the history of these magnificent creatures. T. rex is the most popular dinosaur of all. There is something about its body, huge head, tiny little arms, muscular legs, and long tail. It’s about 13 meters long and weighs 7 or 8 tons. It has such strong bite forces that it could crush through the bones of its prey.    A lot of scientists and researchers keep studying T.rex to understand more about these species. Right now is the best time in the history of dinosaur research because people are finding more  dinosaur rock fossils  nowadays. On average, a species has been found every week.    China is the hotspot because the majority of new dinosaur species are coming from there. T. rex was the most common  dinosaur amber fossil   among the last dinosaurs to appear on the planet around 80 m...

Many tests, such as acid tests, X-rays, and radiometric dating, can be used to verify whether a fossil , whether it is dinosaur bones, teeth, or claws, or any other fossil, is genuine. However, for a fossil collector, having hands-on experience with such pricey techniques is nearly impossible and prohibitively expensive. So, what should you do if you want to know whether the fossil of a dinosaur or other species you're about to buy is genuine or not? To assist you, we've included a few pointers to consider: Physical Properties -   It is critical to pay close attention to surface characteristics. Any differences in texture, substance, bone pores, grains, or even air scribe lines could suggest that the fossil isn't genuine. Fossils are often constructed of densely crushed rock. It's possible that a very light specimen might not be a rock. Also, before buying a dinosaur or other animal fossil , check to see if the color is consistent. Color and texture changes can indica...

Spinosaurus is a genus of a theropod dinosaur, which belongs to the family of Spinosauridae that date roughly 100 to 94 million years ago. Spinosaurus was named for its “sail-black” feature, created by tall vertebral spines. They are the most enormous known carnivorous dinosaurs. They had a 1.75m long skull, 14-18m body length, and weighed around 12,000- 20,000 kg.    In 1915, the original Spinosaurus fossils were discovered by German paleontologist Ernst Stromer in Egypt. A British aircraft bombed the museum, and the fossils were destroyed in 1944.    After that second species, S. maroccanus, was found in the Kem Kem Basin of Morocco. This is the primary reason that these spinosaurus fossils are rare . If you want to buy fossils of spinosaurus, then you can easily buy them either online or offline. There are many fossil stores out there, but as we all know, due to this pandemic, lockdown is imposed, and only essentials are open, and other businesses are shut....
