Dwarfing Earth's Largest Dinosaur When compared to their counterparts today, animals and plants in the late Jurassic period, about 161 million to 145 million years ago, appear super-sized. Newly discovered dinosaur fossils show, however, that the largest animal to ever walk on Earth also came in a dwarfed version. |

Large Dinosaurs Ran Hot Size does matter -- at least when it comes to dinosaurs' body temperatures, according to new research. Using growth rate and age information gleaned from fossils, researchers have estimated likely body temperatures for dinosaurs of various sizes, as well as tyrannosaur survival rates. |

Plumage pattern revealed in 150 million-year-old bird An international team of scientists has used synchrotron-based imaging techniques to chemically map the feather colors of a 150 million-year-old bird. The study reveals that the dinosaur had feathers which were light in colour with a dark edge and tip, rather than all black as previously thought. |

Ancient Bird Fossil Makes a Splash Recent expeditions in a remote area of China have unearthed unusually well-preserved fossils of an ancient bird that lived between 105 million and 115 million years ago. The fossils of the surprisingly modern-looking bird suggest that today's birds may have originated from an aquatic ancestor. |
