Oil might be the reason dinosaurs are extinct
A recent study suggests that a meteor impact 66 million years ago on an oil rich region of Yucatan Peninsula led to the death of the dinosaurs.
200-year-old fossil mystery resolved
Scientists have reconstructed how an ancient reptile swam in the oceans at the time of the dinosaurs. Computer simulations suggest the plesiosaur moved through the water like a penguin, using its front limbs as paddles and back limbs for steering.
