An appeals court on Thursday upheld a group of fossil hunters’ claim to the remains of Tinker the teenage T-rex, meaning the remote South Dakota county where it was discovered is entitled to just 10 percent of any sale proceeds

Like modern predators, theropods preferentially hunted and ate juvenile animals leading to the absence of small, and especially young, dinosaurs in the fossil record

A Park County developer’s hopes of naming a new dinosaur species were dashed when the museum that was going to conduct a paleontological dig in Paradise Valley filed a lawsuit against him

Looters who plundered one of Utah’s newest troves of dinosaur bones got away with ribs, vertebrae and part of an ancient leg bone they had to bust apart to remove

While the raptors were certainly killing machines who took down other dinosaurs much larger than themselves – a lot of their prey fit into that category – they actually only stood about five and a half feet
