Over 600 fossilized footprints of species like elephants and giraffes suggest Tarifa was a transit corridor in the Early Pleistocene.
The seized fossils include teeth from extinct marine reptiles like mosasaurus and zarafasaura oceanis.
The Australopithecus africanus specimen is the oldest hominin analyzed for sex using palaeoproteomics.
The tissues of the MH7 fossil were so precisely preserved that researchers could study individual skin cells. In some samples, they could even visualize skin cell nuclei under the microscope.
Researchers identified the fossil as Glyptodon reticulatus, a megafauna species from the Late Pleistocene epoch.
Researchers discover preserved collagen in Edmontosaurus fossil from Hell Creek Formation.
The find expands our understanding of the early developmental stages of rays and their evolutionary branches.
The young pterosaur likely had a wingspan of about 6.5 feet, and if it had survived to adulthood, its wingspan could have reached up to 33 feet.
"This type of discovery is considered very important for reconstructing past ecosystems because it provides important information on which animal was eaten by whom."
