The reign of the dinosaurs came to a catastrophic end 66 million years ago. That’s the common trope, anyway – a holdover from before we recognized that at least one feathery lineage survived and ...

A study by the UPV/EHU-University of the Basque Country into the paleodiet of extinct paleotheriidae (or pseudo horses) provides information about their feeding strategy and the environment they ...

A new international analysis of marine fossils shows that warming of the polar oceans during the Eocene, a greenhouse period that provides a glimpse of Earth's potential future climate, was greater ...

It's not often you find the term "gastronomically familiar" in a Nature article, much less in its very first sentence. But there are a number of unusual aspects to a paper on the origins of flatfish ...

Figure 2: Model results simulating competing hypotheses and comparison to available data. We test a third process (H1c) for increased organic carbon burial (increased nutrient delivery to the oceans) ...

The glacial cycles that have dominated the Earth's recent past have been driven by a combination of orbital cycles and greenhouse forcing. But the relatively cool, rhythmic cycles appear to be an ...

Our current rate of warming will quickly lead us back to a climate that predates the evolution of modern humans, according to a new study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. That ...

Asteroid impacts have changed Earth’s landscape time and time again. Some impacts caused great change to occur, like the Chicxulub Impactor, which led to the mass extinction of dinosaurs around 65 ...

The Eocene is the second of five epochs in the Tertiary Period — the second of three epochs in the Paleogene — and lasted from about 55.8 to 33.9 million years ago. The oldest known fossils of most of ...
