This week, scientists have, for the first time, observed matter-antimatter asymmetry in special particle decay, the first known trilobite fossil collected by Romans may have been used as a “magical” pendant or as a board game piece, and the “earliest moment” of planet formation has been spotted for the first time around a star 1,300 light-years away. Finally, we investigate …

An extraordinary fossil has blown the socks of palaeontologists as it was found to contain the soft tissues of a Temnodontosaurus ichthyosaur, marking the first time we’ve ever found soft tissue remains of a giant ichthyosaur and introducing new-to-science features that reveal how they hunted. The discovery is going to revolutionize the way we look at ichthyosaurs, so said study co-author …
