Fossilised skin from sauropod dinosaurs, possibly Diplodocus, reveals structures suggesting they could have been as vibrant as modern birds. Researchers at the University of Bristol examined 145-million-year-old samples from Montana using electron microscopy. The findings indicate diverse melanosomes that point to potential for varied shades and patterns.

Researchers have discovered the first confirmed fossil hands of Paranthropus boisei, an ancient hominin that lived around 1.5 million years ago. The find reveals that this species possessed human-like hand proportions for tool-making alongside the robust strength of a gorilla. The partial skeleton, including hands, a skull, and foot bones, was unearthed near Lake Turkana in Kenya.
