Richard Vaughan+FollowFossil With Its Brain Still Intact?!Imagine finding a 520-million-year-old fossil with its brain and guts perfectly preserved—like, you can literally see the nervous system and digestive tract in 3D! Scientists are calling it a 'scientific miracle' because soft tissues like this almost never survive. This little arthropod-like creature is basically a time capsule, showing us that complex brains and guts were already a thing way back in the Cambrian era. It’s like paleontology just got an upgrade from VHS to 4K! #Science #FossilFind #AncientLife30Share
Melvin Mosley+FollowTwo Ancient Human Cousins, One Wild NeighborhoodTurns out, Lucy wasn’t alone! Scientists just confirmed that two different human ancestor species—Australopithecus afarensis (Lucy’s crew) and Australopithecus deyiremeda—were actually living side by side in Ethiopia 3.4 million years ago. One had a big toe for climbing, the other was all about walking. They even ate different foods! Who knew our family tree was more like a tangled bush? Evolution was definitely not a straight line! #Science #FossilFind #HumanEvolution50Share
Brad Arroyo+FollowDino Skull Bigger Than Your Couch?!Paleontologists just dug up a 272-kg Pachyrhinosaurus skull in Alberta, Canada, and it’s wild! This beast lived 70 million years ago and was found in a bonebed packed with dino bones—like, 100-300 bones per square meter. They named the skull “Big Sam,” and it’s super rare because this dino had a giant nose bump instead of horns. Imagine stumbling on that in your backyard! What would you name your own dino discovery? #History #dinosaurs #fossilfind20Share
Jessica Hodge+FollowAncient Foot Fossil Reveals Human CousinsTurns out, Lucy wasn’t the only game in town! Scientists finally cracked the mystery of the 3.4-million-year-old 'Burtele Foot' found in Ethiopia. It belonged to Australopithecus deyiremeda, a human ancestor with both ape-like and human-like features—think walking upright but still rocking a tree-climbing big toe. This means two different human species lived side-by-side, each with their own way of moving and eating. Evolution was way messier (and cooler) than we thought! #Science #evolution #fossilfind10Share
Matthew Stevens+FollowLucy Had Company: Meet Her Tree-Climbing Cousin!Turns out Lucy wasn’t the only early human hanging around Ethiopia 3.4 million years ago! Scientists just linked a mysterious fossil foot (with toes made for tree-grabbing) to a lesser-known human relative, Australopithecus deyiremeda. These two species lived side by side but had totally different lifestyles—one was more of a tree-hugger, the other a ground-walker. Human evolution just got a lot messier (and cooler)! #History #HumanEvolution #FossilFind00Share
Jason Cuevas+FollowDino Caught Mid-Snack—For 125 Million Years!Imagine finding a fossil of a dinosaur literally choking on its lunch! Scientists in China uncovered a Microraptor frozen in time, jaws wide open, with a bird halfway down its throat. This isn’t just bones—it’s a prehistoric action shot, showing exactly how these four-winged predators hunted. Turns out, this dino bit off more than it could chew, and both predator and prey ended up immortalized together. Nature’s ultimate plot twist, right? #History #FossilFind #DinosaurDrama10Share
