This work could not have happened without the financial support of NSF and the carefully protected U.S. BLM lands in the De-Na-Zin Wilderness Area. It shows how national lands are used in so many ways, like understanding ancient ecosystems and their vulnerabilities to sudden environmental change

Dinosaurs weren’t doomed to extinction, instead they were thriving right up until the end-Cretaceous asteroid impact.

Dinosaurs weren’t doomed to extinction, instead they were thriving right up until the end-Cretaceous asteroid impact.
Combining the new dates for the San Juan Basin dinosaurs with ecological modeling of dinosaur occurrences across North America, we show that dinosaurs were not declining leading up to the end-Cretaceous extinctions. Instead, the were diverse and living in provincial northern and southern communities

We used multiple dating methods to show that the Naashoibito dinosaurs in southern North America lived at the same time as the iconic dinosaurs from the Hell Creek area in Montana, Wyoming, and the Dakotas.

Excited to share the results of collaborative research in the San Juan Basin in New Mexico published today in @science.org that provides new age constraints for the Naashobito dinosaurs from New Mexico, like the giant sauropod, Alamosaurus: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...
