Kongonaphon kely, a kind of dinosaur with a height of 10 centimeters

 Kongonaphon kely, or ‘tiny bug slayer’, is about the size of a glass of coffee. Animals that lived in Madagascar about 237 million years ago in the Triassic period were 10 centimeters in size. According to scientists, K. kely belongs to the Ornithodira group: the last ancestor of all dinosaurs and pterosaurs. "There is a common perception that dinosaurs are giant creatures," said Christian Kammerer, a paleontologist from the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences. "However, the latest animal we found is very close to the diversity of dinosaurs and pterosaurs even though their bodies are very small," he added.

Location of the 12 Thousand Years Old Mine Found in the Underwater Cave

An underwater cave on the Yukatan Peninsula, Mexico, is filled with a vast archeological labyrinth. Maybe it has never been found anywhere else on Earth. Preserved in caves full of water, cenotes (natural drainage holes in Mexico) hold treasures about Mayan secrets. In addition, the discovery of this ancient artifact also reveals a more ancient prehistoric story.

"This underwater cave is like a time capsule," said Ed Reinhardt, an experienced diver and micropaleontologist from McMaster University. "There is clear evidence of ocher mining carried out thousands of years ago," he added. During a dive in 2017, Reindhart and his fellow researchers explore a cave on the Quintana Roo coastline. The caves in the area are known to hold ancient skeletons of people w...
