Rumor: Mattel Wants to Make a Dino-Riders Movie. People Want a Lot of Things.

The latest 1980s toyline-to-movie franchise could be Dino-Riders, if Mattel has its way—and if this rumor is true. Tracking Board says the toy company is teaming up with Solipsist to bring the former franchise to movie theaters, which is interesting because Dino-Riders wasn’t even popular in the 80s. Sure, it sounds like a sure-fire winner—it’s…

What Killed the Dinosaurs Was More Devastating Than an Asteroid

For nearly 40 years, paleontologists have argued over what really killed the dinosaurs. Was it an massive asteroid impact, or a spate of volcanic eruptions? Or what if a powerful impact ignited volcanoes, walloping Earth’s biosphere with a deadly 1-2 punch? That double-whammy scenario has been around for a while, but new evidence to support…

We’ve Discovered a Lost World of Snow Dinosaurs

But one duck billed dinosaur, at least, managed to endure long, dark winters far north of the Arctic Circle some 69 million years ago. Meet Ugrunaaluk kuukpikensis, the northernmost dinosaur known to science, whose skeletal…
