Jurassic
A new study reveals that young sauropods, despite their parents' massive size, were vulnerable prey that sustained Late Jurassic predators. Researchers from UCL analyzed fossils from Colorado's Dry Mesa Quarry to reconstruct the era's food web. This abundance of easy meals may explain why predators like Allosaurus thrived without advanced hunting traits.

A beautifully preserved skeleton of a new ichthyosaur species, dubbed the Sword Dragon, has been identified from a fossil found on the UK's Jurassic Coast. The marine reptile, about 3 meters long, featured enormous eyes and a sword-like snout for hunting in dim conditions. It lived during the Early Jurassic period, around 193 to 184 million years ago.
