The east coast of Yorkshire is known as the Dinosaur Coast for very good reasons, although these different types do not necessarily represent the same number of different dinosaurs, they do indicate a diverse ecosystem of animals including both carnivores and herbivores that roamed the Jurassic coastal plain and (river) complex some 160-175 million years ago. The prints also allow us to interpret their behaviour. Thus, we have records of walking, running and swimming dinosaurs. – Mike Romano	Found on CNN 1 year ago
The most intriguing feature of our footprint is a long portion preserved at the back of the foot, which is an impression of what we call the metapodium, the presence of this might suggest our large meat-eater was squatting down in the mud, before standing up and walking away. It’s fun to think this dinosaur might well have been strolling along a muddy coastal plain one lazy Sunday afternoon in the Jurassic. – Dean Lomax	Found on CNN 1 year ago
Such nesting colonies would have been a sight to see back in the Cretaceous where the landscape would have been dotted by a huge number of large dinosaur nests. – Darla Zelenitsky	Found on CNN 1 year ago
Compton Bay is a famous site for dinosaur fossils on the Isle of Wight. Most of these come from the older Wessex Formation, which was teaming with dinosaurs, our spinosaurs are indeed from the Vectis Formation, and bones( dinosaurs or otherwise) are rare in that formation( which is made up of several rock layers). – Christopher Barker	Found on CNN 1 year ago
Oddball dinosaurs tend to offer insight into the extremes of dinosaur evolution. The more specimens the better to understand how they got to be so odd, i think this study is a good one to keep the ball rolling but more work is always needed to get a better picture of the life of something so strange and far removed in time. – Jason Poole	Found on CNN 2 years ago
This is the first early armoured dinosaur to be named from the entire Asian continent and helps to show how the group spread around the world shortly after its origin just a few million years earlier. – Paul Barrett	Found on CNN 2 years ago
Given the likely symptoms this animal suffered from, holding these infected bones in your hands, you can't help but feel sorry for Dolly, we've all experienced these same symptoms -- coughing, trouble breathing, a fever, etc. -- and here's a 150-million-year-old dinosaur that likely felt as miserable as we all do when we're sick. – Cary Woodruff	Found on CNN 2 years ago
It is an amazing specimen... I have been working on dinosaur eggs for 25 years and have yet to see anything like it, up until now, little has been known of what was going on inside a dinosaur's egg prior to hatching, as there are so few embryonic skeletons, particularly those that are complete and preserved in a life pose. – Darla Zelenitsky	Found on CNN 2 years ago
Most known non-avian dinosaur embryos are incomplete with skeletons disarticulated( bones separated at the joints), we were surprised to see this embryo beautifully preserved inside a dinosaur egg, lying in a bird-like posture. This posture had not been recognized in non-avian dinosaurs before. – Waisum Ma	Found on CNN 2 years ago
We’re just scratching the surface when it comes to a comprehensive understanding of dinosaur diversity, stegourus reminds us that if we look in the right places at the right times, there is so much more still to discover. – Kristi Curry Rogers	Found on FOX News 2 years ago
The tail is extremely strange, as it is short for a dinosaur and the posterior half is encased in dermal bones( bones that grow in the skin) forming a unique( tail) weapon. – Sergio Soto	Found on CNN 2 years ago
No one thought that there were any dinosaurs in Missouri. It's just unheard of to find dinosaur fossils in this part of the country. – Abigail Kern	Found on CNN 2 years ago
The more we looked at the footprint and toe impression shapes and proportions, the less they resembled tracks made by predatory dinosaurs -- this monster dinosaur was definitely a much friendlier plant-eater. – Hendrik Klein	Found on CNN 2 years ago
As I'm becoming more and more a dinosaur in this league at 31 years old, I've got to do every little thing I can to get the ball to go a little farther, when you're that far away, there's a level of you have to abandon a certain amount of your technique... to gain a little power and use the adrenaline and the feeling of the moment to get the ball to go. I hop into it just a little more aggressively. – Justin Tucker	Found on CNN 2 years ago
It's the closest thing we have to a real life dragon, it was essentially just a skull with a long neck, bolted on a pair of long wings. This thing would have been quite savage. It would have cast a great shadow over some quivering little dinosaur that wouldn't have heard it until it was too late. – Tim Richards	Found on CNN 2 years ago
It became clear that there were two main factors, first that overall climates were becoming cooler, and this made life harder for the dinosaurs which likely relied on warm temperatures, then, the loss of herbivores made the ecosystems unstable and prone to [an] extinction cascade. We also found that the longer-lived dinosaur species were more liable to extinction, perhaps reflecting that they could not adapt to the new conditions on Earth. – Mike Benton	Found on FOX News 2 years ago
The preservation of this new skull is spectacular, finally revealing in detail the bones that make up the crest of this amazing dinosaur known by nearly every dinosaur-obsessed kid. – Joe Sertich	Found on CNN 3 years ago
We even have records of dinosaur remains from the same amber deposit that Cretophengodes was found in. – Chenyang Cai	Found on CNN 3 years ago
We don't have any dinosaur fossils where you can be confident they've been caught in the act. – Jakob Vinther	Found on CNN 3 years ago
It's pretty amazing to find something that's like real, like an actual dinosaur discovery, it's kind of been my dream for a while. – Nathan Hrushkin	Found on CNN 3 years ago
I said, we have a dinosaur, this thing is huge ! – John Ladner	Found on CNN 3 years ago
The discovery of charcoal together with a fern-filled stomach opens a window into the biology of this large herbivorous armoured dinosaur as it suggested Borealopelta was likely a keystone herbivore that shaped the landscape by its grazing, and that it also grazed on the ferns growing in open areas created by wildfires, that is so cool. – David Greenwood	Found on CNN 3 years ago
This discovery overturns decades-old ideas that non-bird dinosaurs were restricted to terrestrial environments, so, yes, we believe that this discovery does indeed revolutionize our understanding of dinosaur biology. – Harvard University	Found on Reuters 3 years ago
To me, its always amazing to find that if you have something like a huge fossilized dinosaur bone, its fossilized on the microscopic level as well, and by comparing these fossilized microstructures to similar features found in modern bone, we know they provide clues to metabolism, growth rate, and age. – Holly Woodward	Found on FOX News 4 years ago
