A team of scientists has accurately dated 85-million-year-old dinosaur eggs by applying a technique more commonly used on cave formations. The research, published in Frontiers in Earth Science, ...
Dinosaur eggs laid 85 million years ago have been accurately dated using a new "atomic clock for fossils" method. The eggs could improve understanding of Earth's climate when dinosaurs roamed the ...

Hands wearing knitted gloves hold a small drill in one hand and a rubber bulb in the other. The instruments are poised over a fossilized dinosaur egg. A researcher takes a sample from a dinosaur egg ...
When dinosaur fossils surface at a site, it is often not possible to tell how many millions of years ago their bones were buried. While the different strata of sedimentary rock represent periods of ...
In the Cretaceous period, Earth was plagued by widespread volcanic activity, oceanic oxygen depletion events, and mass extinctions. Fossils from that era remain and continue to give scientists clues ...
