NASA’s Curiosity rover continues its trek through the Martian terrain with a new stop that has captured both scientific and visual intrigue. In a blog update from NASA’s Science Mission Directorate on August 15, 2025, the rover team described its latest observations in an area known as The Boxworks, where oddly shaped rocks—some resembling clusters of fossilized eggs or even …

Rare malformations can cause animals to grow two heads – and it seems that kind of thing has been happening for millions of years. In 2006, paleontologists in China described a two-headed fossil from the age of dinosaurs. Hyphalosaurus is a small, aquatic reptile that lived more than 120 million years ago, and is known from thousands of fossils. But …
