Can you get organic compounds in a fossilized bone? There was a time we thought not, but a new study that used a novel ...
Liverpool researchers' discovery of collagen in fossilized bones could provide new insights into dinosaurs. For years, ...
In a study published in January, researchers confirmed the preservation of original organic molecules in Mesozoic dinosaur ...
The findings shed light on how proteins like collagen may survive for millions of years within dinosaur bones.
The team examined the hip bone of an Edmontosaurus, a duck-billed dinosaur. “This research shows beyond doubt that organic biomolecules, such as proteins like collagen, appear to be present in some ...
Researchers have discovered clear chemical traces of decaying collagen in a duck-billed dinosaur fossil, upending previously ...

(Edmontosaurus is thought to have been one of the last non-avian dinosaurs to ever live—alongside such recognizable names as Triceratops and Tyrannosaurus.) The exceptionally well-preserved 48.5 ...
Using advanced mass spectrometry and other techniques, researchers identified preserved collagen remnants in the hip bone of an Edmontosaurus, a duck-billed dinosaur, helping to resolve a debate ...
For many years, scientists believed that organic molecules could not survive in fossils, as the fossilization process was thought to destroy them completely. However, a groundbreaking study led by the ...
Analysis under a microscope may reveal wear marks that give further clues to what the dinosaur ate and how. The interlocking teeth in this Edmontosaurus jaw formed a grinding surface for eating tough ...
Birds and crocodilians are still the best guides to what extinct dinosaurs were like, their anatomy acting as an outline for what paleontologists expect of Edmontosaurus and kin. While ...
