Plant fossils found in the abdomen of a sauropod support the long-standing hypothesis that these dinosaurs were herbivores, finds a study publishing June 9 in the Cell Press journal Current Biology.
By applying computational engineering methods to model weight and gravitational forces acting on sauropod femurs, researchers found that these massive four-legged dinosaurs were generally able to stay ...
(CN) — In the summer of 2017, staff and volunteers at the Australian Age of Dinosaurs Museum of Natural History were excited to find fossilized feces, because they provided evidence for a longstanding ...
