Dinosaur, Australia and Fossil

This 66-Million-Year-Old Fossil Is Rewriting Everything We Know About Dinosaurs
The study, led by the University of Liverpool, analyzed a fossilized hip bone from a Edmontosaurus using “advanced mass spectrometry and other analytical techniques.” Those techniques, including protein sequencing, led to the discovery of bone collagen still remaining, despite fossilization.
120-Million-Year-Old Fossils in Australia Just Rewrote Dinosaur Evolution
Fossils of the world’s oldest megaraptorid and the first-ever carcharodontosaurs in Australia have been discovered, completely altering the known predator hierarchy of the Cretaceous era. These finds suggest that,
Double jackpot: Australia finds oldest megaraptor along with new dinosaur fossils
Paleontologists have uncovered fossils of not one but two apex predator groups coexisting in ancient Victoria, Australia. First, they have identified the oldest megaraptorid fossils ever found, pushing back the known timeline for this group of theropods.
