Identifying dinosaurs from their footprints is difficult, but AI can help
Credit: Vladimir Srajber from Pexels When you hear the word "dinosaur," the first thing that might spring to mind is a hulking skeleton like Sue the T rex in Chicago's Field Museum or Sophie the Stegosaurus at the Natural History Museum in London. Dinosaur skeletons give us striking evidence of what these ancient animals looked like, from the plates and spikes on stegosaurs like Sophie to the long-necked, airplane-sized bodies of titanosaurs.

The origin of placental mammal life histories - Nature
Abstract After the end-Cretaceous extinction, placental mammals quickly diversified1, occupied key ecological niches2,3 and increased in size4,5, but this last was not true of other therians6. The uniquely extended gestation of placental young7 may have factored into their success and size increase8, but reproduction style in early placentals remains unknown.

Discovering Shonisaurus popularis, Nevada’s State Fossil
Our state has adopted many symbols to honor and give a sense of the character of its high deserts, mountains, and valleys and of the pioneering spirits of the folks who live here. Of the state symbols, our state fossil, Shonisaurus popularis, the ichthyosaur, stands out at almost mythical proportions. These animals were approximately the length of a school bus (~11-15 m) and dominated the warm, shallow seas that covered Nevada ~215 million years ago during the Triassic period.
Project Flyer the second
Hi All,We've been getting great donations in the last 24 hours. I thank everyone for donating. Hannah Foss drew us a second project flyer to spread around. Feel free to share with everyone on twitter, facebook, reddit, etc.
Rediscovering the Lost Triassic Marine Reptile Fossils of Northern California
Triassic reptile fossils were first discovered in Shasta County, California in the late 1800s. In 1902-03, paleontologists from the University of California collected many important Triassic fossils including the remains of ichthyosaurs, fish-shaped reptiles that swam the oceans at the time of the dinosaurs–and some of the first discovered thalattosaurs–coastal-dwelling lizard-like reptiles that achieved nearly worldwide distribution prior to their extinction near the end of the Triassic.
