Text Appearing Before Image: This season of 1921 George Sternberg became the first dinosaur col- lector on the Red Deer River to have his work recorded in motion pictures. This happened by a curious error. The Dominion Motion Picture Bureau, predecessor of the National Film Board of Canada, had decided to make a short motion picture based on the work being done by the Geological Survey of Canada in the collecting and displaying of Canadian dinosaurs. The camera party sent to Alberta was naturally supposed to visit the Geological Survey party under Charles M. Sternberg, but local directions sent them to the camp of George Sternberg. So this excellent little film records field work by the University of Alberta party and preparation being done at the National Museum of Canada in Ottawa. That winter George Sternberg continued the preparation of the speci- mens obtained during the two preceding field seasons, but in the spring he resigned to accept a position with the Field Museum of Natural History of Chicago, under Elmer S. Riggs. The summer of 1922 was the last time that the eldest of the Sternberg sons worked on the Red Deer River, his collec- tion going to Chicago. However, he returned to Edmonton for several months in 1935, to complete the preparation of the collection that he brought together in 1920 and 1921. When George Sternberg left the Geological Survey of Canada in 1918, the only one of the four Sternbergs remaining at Ottawa was Charles Mortram Sternberg, the second son of C. H. Sternberg. Actually, Charles had his first independent expedition to the Red Deer badlands in 1917, C. M. Sternberg ami G. E. Lindblad working on the skull of a horned dinosaur (Centrasaurus sp.), Oldman formation, Red Deer River, 1917. N.M.C., No. 39994.

T. rex’s tiny arms may have evolved for a surprisingly brutal reason

hunting prey

Why did T. rex have such tiny arms? Scientists now think it’s because its giant head became the ultimate hunting tool. Across multiple dinosaur groups, stronger skulls and crushing jaws evolved alongside shrinking forelimbs, especially in predators hunting enormous prey. In other words, once the bite became deadly enough, the arms may have stopped mattering.

Waiting for a plane is tiresome. However, with our interest in fossils there is always the opportunity to go on an impromptu fossil hunt. For example, whilst at Brandenburg Airport Berlin (Flughafen Berlin Brandenburg - BER), Sue and I passed the time examining the numerous ammonite and other invertebrate fossils preserved in the polished floor

Baby dinosaurs were the backbone of the Jurassic food chain

hunting prey Jurassic fossil

Despite growing into the largest animals ever to walk on land, sauropods began life small, exposed, and alone. Fossil evidence suggests their babies were frequently eaten by multiple predators, making them a key part of the Jurassic food chain. This steady supply of easy prey may explain why early predators thrived without needing extreme hunting adaptations. The findings offer a rare glimpse into how dinosaur ecosystems truly worked.

Ancient long snouted croc from Egypt rewrites evolution

hunting Egypt fossil discovery evolution

A newly identified crocodile relative from Egypt pushes back the origins of the marine-hunting dyrosaurids by millions of years. The fossil, Wadisuchus kassabi, shows a mix of primitive and advanced traits that mark a key evolutionary transition. Rare specimens of different ages reveal how these ancient predators developed. The find reinforces Africa as the center of early dyrosaurid evolution.
