🦖🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Walking along #Scotland's Isle of Skye feels like visiting an outdoor museum where 170-million-year-old #dinosaur footprints are still being found.

Paleontologist Steve Brusatte and his students show how storms and waves continue to explain more of these ancient trackways today.

Harvey the Mammoth

Later this year Western Science Center will be opening a new permanent exhibit (more on that in a future post). One of the highlighted specimens in this exhibit will be the skull of Harvey the Mammoth. Like many of WSC's specimens, Harvey was discovered during a construction project, specifically the

🦕🥚 Adult sauropods were longer than blue #whales, but their #eggs were only 30cm wide. New #research suggests these giants were simply too big to care for their young without accidentally crushing them. Instead, they left their babies to serve as an "all-you-can-eat" buffet for #Jurassic predators.

The Biggest Dinosaurs Left Their Babies to Be Eaten

Baby sauropods were the fast food of the Late Jurassic, feeding multiple predators and propping up the entire ecosystem. Their vulnerability may even explain why later giants like T. rex evolved to become far deadlier hunters.
