Fossilisation is the process by which organic materials like plants, animals, and other life forms, are preserved in the Earth’s crust over geological time. Fossils provide snapshots of ancient life ...
A surprising discovery in the feathers of a fossil vulture from central Italy has revealed that volcanic deposits can preserve delicate tissue structures in unprecedented detail, offering new insights ...
Jurassic Park is arguably the ultimate Hollywood blockbuster. Aside from the appeal of human-chomping dinosaurs, tense action sequences and ground-breaking cinematography, its release in 1993 was a ...
A newly published experimental protocol, involving University of Bristol scientists, could change the way fossilisation is studied. In addition to directly studying fossils themselves, experimental ...
Increasing variation in the climate has been implicated as a possible factor in the evolution of our species (Homo sapiens) 300,000 years ago, as well as the more recent demise of our enigmatic ...
These photos from British designer Austin Houldsworth show the results of his machine, featured in our earlier story, built to fossilise a partridge (above) and a pineapple. The contraption, called 2 ...
