SCIENTISTS have brought to life a dinosaur that walked the Earth 160 million years ago in incredible pictures. The feathered Anchiornis, which had drumstick-shaped legs similar to modern birds, could ...

We’ve known for a while now that dinosaurs had feathers, but for the most part we’ve imagined they were tough, spiky-looking weirdos — a far cry from the soft, sleek birds of the modern age. A new ...

Researchers say they have reached an unprecedented level of understanding regarding what one particular four-winged dinosaur actually looked like. Researchers from Linyi University in China and the ...

Dr. Michael Pittman from the University of Hong Kong's (HKU) Department of Earth Sciences speaks in front of a projection of the reconstructed body outline of the bird-like feathered dinosaur ...

" Anchiornis is millions of years older, yet has the shortened protein form. This work shows that we can utilize molecular fossil data to root molecular clocks and improve their accuracy -- we can ...

Scientists are one step closer to figuring out what dinosaurs actually looked like—and they're doing it by pointing laser beams at dinosaur fossils to show previously unknown features and details, ...

For the first time ever, paleontologists can look at dinosaurs in color. In last week's issue of the journal Nature, scientists described the discovery of melanosomes, biological structures that give ...
