As continental drift proponents noted, the coastlines of South America and Africa fit together pretty neatly like a jigsaw puzzle if you take the time and effort to mush them back together again.

The rift has drawn many companies to the US Midwest, making eastern Kansas one of the busiest frontiers in a worldwide search for “geologic hydrogen”, which many hope could serve as a zero ...

“The whole United States was absolutely opposed to continental drift,” Sloan said. Opinion among U.S. geologists completely reversed during a six-month period in 1960. Sloan’s research accomplishments ...

Not everything dies in a mass extinction. Sea life recovered in different and surprising ways after the asteroid strike 66 million years ago. Ancient fossils recorded it all.

Ancient fossils show how the last mass extinction forever scrambled the ocean's biodiversity by Stewart Edie, The Conversation edited by Lisa Lock, reviewed by Andrew Zinin Editors' notes ...

When and where the earliest modern human populations migrated and settled in East Asia is relatively well known. However, how ...

In assessing the fossils of thousands of bivalve species, we found that at least one species from nearly all their modes of life, no matter how rare or specialized, squeaked through the extinction ...

Paleontologists studying insects trapped in amber from 99 million years ago have made a remarkable discovery: an ant and a ...

Known as the "neotropical anachronisms hypothesis," this theory remained unconfirmed for over forty years. Now, the study led by González-Guarda provides direct fossil evidence that validates it.

Ancient fossil discovery could rewrite what we know about disease. Scientists found cancer evidence in a 70-million-year-old dinosaur fossil in Romania. The Telmatosaurus transsylvanicus exhibited ...
