The jaws and teeth of fossils may not reliably predict diets FEW fossils command as much respect as Tyrannosaurus rex. With a head the size of a refrigerator and teeth as big as bananas, it was an immensely powerful predator. Or was it? One of the strongest arguments for T. rex being a predator is that its fangs are sharp and pointed, rather like the teeth found in many predators today. Yet a new...

Filed under: Audio , Podcasting , Podcasts We'd never, ever turn down a good ghost story. Aliens, even the abducting kind (especially the abducting kind!) are incredibly cool. Still, we are pretty sure that T. Rex existed and didn't use those huge incisors for gnashing hellaciously into cantaloupes and mangoes. And we have enough acquaintances who act a little too similarly to lower primates to believe...

It looks like chickens deserve more respect. Scientists are fleshing out the proof that today's broiler-fryer is descended from the mighty Tyrannosaurus rex. And, not a surprise, they confirmed a close relationship between mastodons and elephants. Fossil studies have long suggested modern birds were descended from T. rex, based in similarities in their skeletons. Now, bits of protein obtained from...

Industrial designer Johnatan Côté of Morelli Designers is proposing a complete redesign of the Campagna T-Rex trike. The biggest change is the removal of the roof, which consisted of little more than a couple of tubes in the first place, but added vital roll-over protection and structural fortitude to the vehicle. Coupled with a more dynamic, modern design, the updated T-Rex proposal also incorporates...
