How big was the Mosasaurus?

ByDong Zhenglong

The size of the mosasaur has always been a focus of debate among paleontologists. Although the fossil evidence is incomplete, through precise measurements and numerical simulations, research in recent years has converged: the size of the mosasaurs was by no means huge as imagined, and most individuals should have been between ten and twenty meters tall. This is obviously different from the previous exaggeration of his body shape. Therefore, clarifying the actual size of the mosasaur will help us understand its ecological niche and predatory strategy more accurately.

When did the dinosaurs become extinct?

ByDong Zhenglong

The time when the dinosaurs became extinct was not a single event, but a long and complex process. Meteor impacts are a key factor, but volcanic activity, climate change and other factors also play an important role. Through fossil evidence from geological strata and radioisotope dating, scientists have gradually determined that the extinction time was not a single date, but approximately 66 million years ago. The drastic changes in the environment during this period eventually led to the extinction of non-avian dinosaurs and ushered in the age of mammals.

Can Archaeopteryx fly? Uncover the mysteries of prehistoric creatures

ByDong Zhenglong

The flight ability of Archaeopteryx has always been a focus of debate in the paleontological community. Fossil evidence shows that its wing structure was similar to that of modern birds, but its bone structure also retained reptilian traces. Did their powerful wings propel flight, or did their primitive, reptilian characteristics limit it? Only by in-depth study of the bones, muscles, feathers and other aspects of Archaeopteryx can we truly uncover this paleontological mystery and further understand the mysteries of bird evolution. We have the responsibility and should continue to explore and contribute to scientific knowledge.

Crocodile-Dinosaur Connection: Uncovering the Mysteries of Prehistoric Creatures

ByDong Zhenglong

Crocodiles, these cold-blooded reptiles, have a surprising connection with dinosaurs. Fossil evidence shows that they share an ancient ancestor and evolved their own unique forms over long periods of time. An in-depth exploration of this relationship will not only reveal the mystery of prehistoric biological evolution, but also give us a deeper understanding of the changes in the history of life on Earth. Through the observation of crocodiles, we may be able to glimpse clues of the dinosaur era and reconstruct a more complete picture of prehistoric ecology.
