136 long-clawed shrew skulls from Hokkaido showed the classic winter flattening of the braincase, and across the same series the snout enlarged in winter and shrank again in spring
2+ day, 5+ hour ago (595+ words) A museum series of Sorex unguiculatus from Tomakomai confirms Dehnel's winter braincase shrink in an Asian shrew, and adds a reverse pattern in the snout that the authors did not find in the jaw. By Natural History · Edited by Chris…...
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
5+ day, 2+ hour ago (765+ words) Massive ice deposits hidden beneath Utah mountain rubble could reshape understanding of water resources and climate patterns in the American West. By Natural History · Edited by Daniel Moran Published September 9, 2026 · How we edit A field of loose rubble under the…...
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. Published September 6, 2026 · How we edit Picture a poodle that…...
Deep beneath Central Texas, a caver put his head beneath an underground stream and found Ice Age fossils everywhere — mammoths, mastodons, saber-toothed cats and an armadillo relative as big as a lion
1+ week, 1+ day ago (394+ words) One cave, one underwater glimpse, and a trove of Ice Age giants that rewrites what we know about Texas's deep past. Published September 6, 2026 · How we edit A caver dropped into a hole in the limestone of Comal County, Texas, put…...
Archaeologists found a 1,200-year-old island in Fiji made almost entirely of discarded shellfish — created by generations of people processing food during the same centuries Maya cities flourished and Viking voyagers began crossing the North Atlantic
1+ week, 1+ day ago (548+ words) Accumulating shellfish refuse transformed a Fijian shoreline into solid ground, revealing how ordinary people across the Pacific engineered their landscape one meal at a time. Published September 6, 2026 · How we edit A thousand years of lunch has been sitting off the…...
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
1+ week, 4+ day ago (247+ words) The Gakkel Ridge is the slowest spreading mid ocean ridge on Earth, and the new reading suggests its melt reaches the surface in bursts rather than in a continuous supply. By Science Blog Editorial Team Published September 3, 2026 · How we edit…...
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, 6+ 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. Published August 31, 2026 · How we edit Two kilometres under the Pacific,…...
When an Antarctic iceberg the size of Chicago broke off in January 2025, scientists raced to look beneath it and found a thriving ecosystem of octopuses, sea spiders, and icefish that had been living in total darkness for potentially hundreds of years
2+ week, 1+ day ago (1066+ words) After A-84 moved away, ROV SuBastian documented an old Antarctic seafloor community, while leaving its exact age, food sources and species inventory unresolved.
