Science Channels: Dinosaurs Keywords: Palaeontology, Dinosaurs, Fossil Bones, China, Theropod, Discovery	George Washington University Biologist Discovers New Dinosaur in China Fossil remains found by a George Washington University biologist in northwestern China have been identified as a new species of small theropod, or meat-eating, dinosaur.

Science Channels: Dinosaurs, Featured: DailyWire, Featured: SciWire	Blame It on Barney: Student Perceptions of an Upright Tyrannosaurus rex Remain Obsolete So why are students’ perceptions of the T. rex stalled in the early 1900s, when the dinosaurs were depicted as upright, somewhat slow-moving tail draggers? A Cornell University research team sought answers after years of anecdotally observing students drawing the T. rex incorrectly. View	Released: 2/7/2013 11:00 AM EST Cornell University
Science Channels: Dinosaurs, Evolution and Darwin Keywords: Palaeontology, Evolution, Theropod, Dinosaurs	For Some Feathered Dinosaurs, Bigger Not Always Better Researchers have started looking at why dinosaurs that abandoned meat in favor of vegetarian diets got so big, and their results may call conventional wisdom about plant-eaters and body size into question.

Science Channels: Dinosaurs, Ecology/Animals, Staff Picks Keywords: Pterosaur, quetzalcoatlus, Flight, Airborne, Wings, largest flying animal	Giant Pterosaur Needed Cliffs, Downward-Sloping Runways to Taxi, Awkwardly Take Off into Air Quetzalcoatlus pushed the very boundaries of size to the brink, considered the largest flying animal yet to be discovered. Any larger, and it would have had to walk. But its bulk caused researchers to wonder how such a heavy animal with relatively flimsy wings became airborne.

Science Channels: Dinosaurs, Environment, Staff Picks Keywords: Mass Extinction, Cretaceous Period, Dinosaurs, Ecosystems, North America, Chicxulub, terrestrial food web, Computer Models, modern food webs, asteroid impact	Mass Extinction Study Provides Lessons for Modern World The Cretaceous Period of Earth history ended with a mass extinction that wiped out numerous species, most famously the dinosaurs. A new study now finds that the structure of North American ecosystems made the extinction worse than it might have been.

Science Channels: Dinosaurs Keywords: Paleontology, DNA, Dinosaur Preservation, protein analysis	Analysis of Bone Cells Confirms Dinosaur Protein A team of researchers has found more evidence for the preservation of ancient dinosaur proteins, including reactivity to antibodies that target specific proteins normally found in bone cells of vertebrates.

Science Channels: Physics, Dinosaurs, Climate Change, Oceanography/Marine Biology Keywords: Acoustical Society, Ocean	Dinosaur Era Acoustics: Global Warming May Give Oceans the ‘Sound’ of the Cretaceous Global temperatures directly affect the acidity of the ocean, which in turn changes the acoustical properties of sea water. New research suggests that global warming may give Earth’s oceans the same hi-fi sound qualities they had more than 100 million years ago, during the Age of the Dinosaurs.

Science Channels: Dinosaurs Keywords: dwarf dinosaur, South Africa, heterodontosaurs, Paul Sereno, Paleontology, Pegomastax africanus, Tinayulong, Pangaea	New Fanged Dwarf Dinosaur From Africa Ate Plants With tiny 1-inch long jaws, a new species of plant-eater has come to light in rocks in South Africa dating to the early dinosaur era, some 200 million years ago.

Science Channels: Dinosaurs, Climate Change, Staff Picks Keywords: dinosaur extinction, Deccan Traps, Climate Warming, Antarctica	Dinosaur Die Out Might Have Been Second of Two Closely Timed Extinctions New research indicates that shortly before an asteroid impact spelled doom for the dinosaurs, a separate extinction triggered by volcanic eruptions killed life on the ocean floor.
