A new species of carnivorous theropod dinosaur has been identified from the fossilized remains discovered in the 1990s in northeastern Utah and Wyoming, the United States.

The newly-discovered dinosaur belongs to Allosauridae, a group of small to large-bodied, two-legged carnivorous dinosaurs that lived during the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods. Dubbed Allosaurus jimmadseni , the species inhabited the flood plains of western North America during the Jurassic period. The ancient creature was 8 to 9 m (26-29 feet) long and had a mass of around 1.8 metric tons. It had relatively long legs and tail, and long arms with three sharp claws. At 155 million years old, Allosaurus jimmadseni is the geologically-oldest species of Allosaurus predating the more well-known Allosaurus fragilis . The new species is distinguished by a number of unique features, including low crests ru...

These fish are oυt of the deep sea, aпd iпto yoυr пightmares, all thaпks to the social media accoυпts of a Rυssiaп deep-sea fishermaп. Romaп Fedortsov is a fishermaп based iп Mυrmaпsk, Rυssia, who primarily seeks пormal-lookiпg fish like cod aпd haddock. Bυt sometimes he catches пoп-target, rarely-seeп species . “This fish rarely gets iпto the trawl,” Fedortsov said via a Telegram app commυпicatioп with  Newsweek  aboυt oпe of his particυlarly odd catches. “This is aп accideпtal catch.” Cυrreпtly, Fedortsov is iп the Norwegiaп Sea, where he sets oυt deep-sea trawlers. Occasioпally he catches пoп-target species , takes pictυres of them, sometimes at odd aпgles, aпd posts the pictυres to his Iпstagram aпd Twitter.

Fossil of New Dinosaur Species Found in Egypt’s Desert Paleontologists from Mansoura University have unearthed a fossil of a new species of dinosaur in the Dakhla oasis in central Egypt that lived nearly 80 million years ago. Scientists call the finding an “incredible discovery,” describing it as critical for science. The remains of the animal indicate that the dinosaur was a plant-eating Cretaceous Period creature, which paleontologists call Mansourasaurus Shahinae. Findings show that the dinosaur was about 10 meters long and weighed 5,000 kg and was a member of a group called titanosaurs that included the earth’s largest-ever land animals. “Its remains […] are the most complete of any mainland African land vertebrate during an even larger time span, the roughly 30 million years before the dinosaur mass extinction 66 million years ago,” said paleontologist Hesham Sallam of Egypt’s Mansoura University, who led the study published in the journal Nature Ecology and Evol...
