A team of palaeontologists, led by our colleague Olivier Lambert (RBINS), recently described the dolphin species Huaridelphis raimondii, that lived in what is now Peru during the Miocene period, 16 million years ago.

Neanderthals and modern humans used to be living closeby for thousands of years. This has been calculated by an international team of scientists by reconsidering the dates of Neanderthal sites by means of a new method.
The first ever example of a plant-eating dinosaur with feathers and scales has been discovered in Russia. Previously only flesh-eating dinosaurs were known to have had feathers so this new find indicates that all dinosaurs could have been feathered.
Paleontologists Pascal Godefroit (RBINS) and François Escuillié (Eldonia) discovered the skull and feet of Deinocheirus in a private collection. This dinosaur with gigantic forelimbs and armed with impressive claws remained an enigma for nearly 50 years.
