Scientists reveal world's first ever completely intact T-Rex skeleton
Daily Mail
"The Tyrannosaurus Rex and Triceratops Horridus - nicknamed the 'Dueling Dinosaurs' - are preserved together in what is thought to be a predator-prey encounter, where both fought to the death. Body outlines, skin impressions and injuries - including tyrannosaur teeth stuck in the triceratops body - can still be seen 67 million years after the ferocious battle. Each of the remains have only been seen by only a few dozen people since they were discovered in 2006 in Montana, US, by professional fossil hunters. It took years to extract the 14-ton skeletons and arrange their purchase, by the non-profit Friends of the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences for an undisclosed sum. The group has donated them to North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences, in Raleigh, North Carolina, which is due to start building a dedicated exhibition for them next year.

46,000 Year Old Dead Bird

"On Jacquelyn Gill’s first day doing field work at the Siberian permafrost caves during the summer of 2018, a local fossil hunter approached her with a dead bird in his hands. The translator hadn’t yet arrived, but from the freshly dead look of the bird, Gill assumed it had just recently flown into the cave and died. A modern bird was of little interest to her team, which had flown to this remote region and trekked for miles to study remnants of the last ice age. The man, however, was persistent in offering her the dead bird."

Nefertiti Hidden in King Tut's Tomb?

Hidden chambers found in King Tut's Tomb.

"After extensive analysis of high resolution images published online last year, Reeves spotted cracks in the walls that could indicate two previously unrecognized "ghost" doorways lay behind.
The size of Tutankhamun's tomb -- "less than appropriate" for the final resting place of an Egyptian king -- added more weight to the view. Reeves' hunch is that its unusual size and layout is because it is an extension of an earlier tomb originally designed for a queen, and was repurposed upon Tutankhamun's untimely death at 19 years old."
