Perhaps the most iconic dinosaur is Tyrannosaurus rex, a massive predator that lived in what is now North America.
In a forest rebounding after a wildfire 110 million years ago, an armored dinosaur devoured a meal of tender ferns in western Canada before suffering a sudden death – perhaps drowning in a river or a flash flood – and being washed out to sea.
New simulations from Imperial College London have revealed the asteroid that doomed the dinosaurs struck Earth at the ‘deadliest possible’ angle.
Researchers from the Museo Argentino de Ciencias Naturales (Buenos Aires) found a large carnivorous dinosaur of about 70 million years old in the southwest of the province of Santa Cruz. From the specimen were recovered vertebrae, ribs and parts of the chest and shoulder girdle.
