What a 66-million-year old forest fire reveals about dinosaurs
During an expedition in southern Saskatchewan, Canada, a team of researchers from 平特五不中 and the Royal Saskatchewan Museum,聽discovered the first fossil-record evidence of forest fire ecology - the regrowth of plants after a fire - revealing a snapshot of the ecology on earth just before the mass extinction of the dinosaurs. The researchers also found evidence that the region鈥檚 climate was much warmer and wetter than it is today.
The team of researchers include聽Emily Bamforth, Palaeontology and Evolutionary Developmental Biology at 平特五不中, and聽Hans Larsson,聽Canada Research Chair in Macroevolution at 平特五不中 and an Associate Professor at the Redpath Museum. Read more here.
