Scientists who analyzed rare Tyrannosaurus rex footprints in North Dakota say the fearsome predator strolled at roughly 3.5 miles per hour, a pace a healthy human could match without breaking a sweat. A team from Liverpool John Moores University and the Denver Museum of Nature & Science studied a 23-foot trackway preserved in the Hell Creek Formation of southwestern North Dakota. The trail holds four three-toed footprints, each about three feet long, spaced at a stride length of roughly 13 feet. Using 3D surface scanning and physical reproductions of the prints, the researchers calculated that the animal moved at between 3.5 and 4.5 miles per hour, barely faster than a brisk walk for a fit adult. Professor Peter Falkingham, who led the…Open

A scientist surveying a California creek bed for a frog habitat project accidentally discovered a pristinely preserved Pacific Mastodon tooth estimated to be 2.5 million years old, now headed to Stanford University for research.

The 984-foot AIDAperla broke free from its moorings at Le Havre during a violent wind event Tuesday, drifting backward into a concrete wall with thousands of passengers aboard, and the collision was caught on camera. Strong winds tore the 125,000-ton cruise ship from its berth at roughly 4:00 PM local time, snapping mooring lines and sending the vessel drifting stern-first through the harbor. Two gangways were ripped away or left dangling from the ship's side as tugboats scrambled to regain control. Local reports cited gusts reaching 68 mph as a weather front swept through the port city on France's northern coast. French authorities had warned of severe winds before the incident, but the AIDAperla, a German-operated liner on a seven-day…Open
