Tyrannosaurus rex Scavenged Duck-Billed Dinosaurs in Ancient Wyoming, Bite Marks Reveal

by

Tyrannosaurus rex scavenged on Edmontosaurus annectens carcasses in the Late Cretaceous, according to a study published in PLoS ONE. Researchers from Loma Linda University identified specific tooth traces on 12 out of 3,013 fossilized bones from a Wyoming bonebed, concluding the lack of bone healing indicates scavenging rather than active predation. Precision Mapping of T-Rex … Read more

T. Rex Blood Vessels Discovery Reveals How Dinosaurs Healed Injuries

by

The Dawn of Digital Paleontology: Beyond the Bone For decades, paleontology was a science of the hammer and chisel. To witness what was inside a fossil, researchers often had to perform “thin-sectioning”—essentially slicing a piece of a priceless specimen to examine it under a microscope. However, the recent discovery of mineralized blood vessels in the … Read more
