What do fossilized leaves, an asteroid, and Florida sinkholes have in common? Dr. Kirk Johnson oversees one of the largest natural history collections on the planet, and he has the answers. He’s spent ...
Scientists still aren't sure what exactly prehistoric Ediacara Biota fossils tell us about life before the Cambrian Explosion, but at least they now understand why we have a remarkable fossil record ...
Some fossils answer old questions. Others create far bigger ones. Few fossil discoveries are as unsettling to scientists as the ones that refuse to fit established categories. That is exactly why ...
