“We are so excited to find and map these microscopic interlocking structures in pterosaur bones,” said Nathan Pili, the study’s lead author and a PhD student at The University of Manchester.

revealing hidden engineering solutions right in the palm of their hands…or fingers to be precise. They discovered that pterosaur bones contained a complex network of tiny canals, making them ...

The microarchitecture of fossil pterosaur bones could be replicated to develop materials for the next generation of aircraft, new research from Manchester University has found. Microscopic ...

A new analysis of pterosaur bones, however, suggests that their microstructure could inspire lighter, stronger aircraft materials. Pterosaurs were flying reptiles that lived throughout the world ...

Scientists from The University of Manchester used advanced X-ray imaging techniques to examine fossilised bones of the prehistoric flying reptile at the smallest scale, revealing hidden engineering ...

Pterosaur vertebra with crocodilian bite found in Alberta Evidence sheds light on predator-prey dynamics in the Cretaceous Period Juvenile Cryodrakon boreas vertebra damaged by ancient crocodilian ...

Scientists from The University of Manchester used advanced X-ray imaging techniques to examine fossilised bones of the prehistoric flying reptile at the smallest scale, revealing hidden engineering ...

So, scientists from The University of Manchester used X-ray machines to examine fossilised bones of pterosaurs to see what secrets they could uncover. This shows a photo of the bone in the first ...

Researchers from the Royal Tyrrell Museum of Palaeontology (Canada), the University of Reading (UK), and the University of New England (Australia) have found a rare crocodilian bite mark on the ...
