“Paleontologists have studied fossilized bones for centuries, but we still don’t completely understand the fossilization process for organic soft tissues of bone, like collagen protein or blood ...

But new analysis of a hip bone from a Edmontosaurus revealed a patch of bone collagen, suggesting other fossils might have similar organic remnants “A DNA strand, like me, is a blueprint for building ...

Tiny balls of mineral are opening a new window into the history of life on Earth. These millimeter-sized objects are more than half a billion years old – the fossilized embryos of animals that lived ...

How similar are dinosaurs to modern birds? This question is at the heart of a new study that examined how proteins found in dinosaur feathers changed over millions of years and under extreme heat.

A pilot study shows that nanoscopic 3-D imaging of ancient bone not only provides further insight into the changes soft tissues undergo during fossilization, it also has potential as a fast, practical ...

Early birds and dinosaurs grew feathers made of the same proteins as modern-day birds, according to a new series of experiments. Matt is a staff writer for DiscoverMagazine.com, where he follows new ...

A new study from the University of Liverpool has rewritten how we understand the fossilization process It was long believed that the fossilization process destroys all organic material But new ...

A new chemical process can transform waste sulfur into a lightweight plastic that may improve batteries for electric cars, reports a University of Arizona-led team. The new plastic has other potential ...
