He was hiking with his father in Alberta, Canada, when he stumbled upon the Hadrosaur remains.

Buyer unknown, but paleontologists worry researchers will lose access

Several complete skeletons of the unusual feathered two-fingered dinosaurs were unearthed in the Gobi Desert.

Huge volcanic eruptions 233 million years ago pumped carbon dioxide, methane, and water vapour into the atmosphere. This series of violent explosions, on what we now know as the west coast of Canada, led to massive global warming.

Fossilised sperm discovered inside a mussel-like crustacean that was trapped in amber 100 million years ago may be the oldest ever found, scientists say. The female ostracod was unearthed by an international team of palaeontologists. They believe it mated shortly before becoming trapped in the resin. Their findings, published in Proceedings of the Royal Society B, provide "an extremely rare opportunity" to learn more about the evolution of the reproductive process, they added.

Scientists examining an ancient Aboriginal site are split over whether charred rocks and weather-worn shells are 120,000-year-old evidence of Indigenous life.

Earth looked very different long ago. Search for addresses upto 750 million years ago in Earth history

While many fossils have been flattened by time and the elements, a titanosaur found in an egg was preserved in three dimensions.

Four bones found at Shanklin belonged to a new species of theropod dinosaur, a study finds.

The 106-million-year-old tracks suggest that other puzzling nearby fossils were also likely made by a bipedal croc ancestor, not a giant pterosaur.

Scientists are stunned to find that some ancient crocodiles may have moved around on two feet.

'The worst-case scenario is exactly what happened,' researchers reveal

When people first arrived in what is now Queensland, they would have found the land inhabited by massive animals including goannas six metres long and kangaroos twice as tall as a human. We have studied fossil bones of these animals for the past decade. Our findings, published today in Nature Communications, shed new light on the mystery of what drove these ancient megafauna to extinction.

Of all the volcanic eruptions to shake our planet in the last 2 million years, the Toba super-eruption in Sumatra, Indonesia, was one of the most colossal. But it may not have been the global catastrophe we once thought it was.

The discovery that the badger-like animal lived alongside dinosaurs challenges ideas about mammals.

New discoveries have raised the possibility of exploring dino genetics, but controversy surrounds the results

In 2006, an amateur fossil hunter made an unprecedented find: two dinosaurs fossilized while apparently locked in battle. A court case followed over mineral versus surface rights, bringing into question the future of fossil discovery in the US.

Prints show the tracks of three ‘titanosaurs’ that took a seaside stroll more than 165 million years ago.

The tiny skull of what is thought to be the smallest known dinosaur that lived during the age of the dinosaurs has been discovered in 99-million-year-old amber from Myanmar.
