A sea lion-sized marine dinosaur dubbed Eric who swam in Australian waters hundred of millions of years ago was a pescetarian who enjoyed fish snacks, scientists say. Eric, a plesiosaur named after a Monty Python song, was found to contain 17 previously undescribed fish vertebrae, confirming the Jurassic beasts were mainly pescetarian.

Dining Dinosaur Fossil Has Mammal in Belly, Sheds Light on Ancient Ecosystems
A rare fossil of a dining dinosaur is shedding new light on ancient ecosystems and behaviours. “It’s one of the few things that really give you an idea of ecology and behaviour in the fossil record,” said University of Alberta paleontologist Corwin Sullivan, who describes what he and his colleagues found in the belly of a 120-million-year-old Microraptor…
Massachusetts Appoints New State Dinosaur, Swift-Footed Lizard of Holyoke
Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker on Wednesday signed legislation establishing an extinct species to represent the state: a dinosaur. Baker, a Republican, signed the legislation during a ceremony at the Museum of Science in Boston, although the governor had actually signed the law making the dinosaur the official state rep back in May. The Podokesaurus holyokensis, or “swift-footed lizard of Holyoke,” lived millions of…

Erected mid-January, his giant snow T-rex—complete with long tail; dragon-like body; gaping, roaring jaws; and…
Researchers Find Fossilized Egg Containing Remains of World’s Most Complete Baby Dinosaur Embryo
A fossilized egg has been found to contain the remains of the world’s most complete baby dinosaur just before hatching.

Footprints in Spain Show Meat-Eating Dinosaurs Were Fast and Furious
It almost is not fair. Carnivorous dinosaurs were armed with menacing teeth inside muscular jaws, wielded dangerous claws on their hands and feet, and boasted keen vision and sense of smell. And, as new research confirms, some were pretty fast, too. Two trackways of Cretaceous Period fossilized footprints from about 120 million years ago discovered…
