Strips of adhesive tape pressed against Britain's tallest stone row yielded 236 dated zircon grains, and their ages match a gritstone tor 18 kilometres west rather than the closer outcrop that the monument's official heritage listing still names as its source

2+ day, 13+ hour ago   (867+ words) A mineral fingerprint taken without cutting the stones points the Devil's Arrows at Boroughbridge to Brimham Rocks, and a compatible fingerprint turns up in a battle cross probably carved in the fifteenth century. By The Long View · Edited by Chris…...

Beneath a field of loose rubble on Utah’s Mount Timpanogos, scientists mapped a hidden mass of ice up to 150 feet thick — enough frozen water to fill 600 Olympic swimming pools

Scientists uncovered a bizarre crocodile cousin from 215 million years ago that started life walking on all fours, then changed its entire stance as it grew — by adulthood it was standing upright and striding around on two legs

1+ week, 1+ day ago   (470+ words) A crocodile relative in ancient Arizona underwent a radical transformation during its lifetime, shifting from four-legged crawler to upright biped—a developmental puzzle that rewrites what scientists thought possible for reptiles.

Sixty magnetic profiles flown across the Arctic's Gakkel Ridge in 1974 and 1975 classify about 68 percent of the seafloor they cross, from the present back to roughly 35 million years ago, as exhumed mantle rather than volcanic crust

An unknown human lineage interbred with our ancestors in Africa more than 50,000 years ago — and although scientists still don't know who these humans were, traces of their DNA survive in every modern population studied.

1+ week, 6+ day ago   (1147+ words) A new genomic method detected roughly 0.49% to 1.1% ancestry from an unidentified human population across five sampled groups. The signal points to mixing in Africa before the main out-of-Africa expansion, but it has not been matched to a fossil species. By…...

Scientists sent robots more than two kilometres beneath the Pacific and mapped enormous lava fields around an active volcano — revealing how molten rock once pooled, swelled beneath a hardened crust and burst outward to reshape the ocean floor

2+ week, 7+ hour ago   (684+ words) The ocean floor's violent geology remains largely hidden—until robotic expeditions reveal how molten rock sculpts the seafloor in ways that challenge what we thought we knew about underwater volcanism.
