37-Million-Year-Old Paradox Snake Emerges as a New Species From a Museum Drawer

A 37-million-year-old snake fossil found at England’s Hordle Cliff sat in the Natural History Museum collection for more than four decades before researchers led by Dr. Georgios Georgalis identified it as a new species, Paradoxophidion richardoweni. The tiny vertebrae suggest an early caenophidian with possible aquatic adaptations and may be the oldest known relative of elephant trunk snakes, offering fresh insight into snake evolution in the British Isles.

Natural History Museum to Showcase Rare Dog-Sized Dinosaur

Scientists at the Natural History Museum in London have unveiled a new small dinosaur species, Enigmacursor mollyborthwickae, which was previously misclassified as Nanosaurus. This tiny, fast-running dinosaur lived about 150 million years ago and is now the first new dinosaur on display at the museum since 2014, shedding light on the evolution of small to large dinosaurs.

Jurassic Relics Arrive at Exposition Park After 150 Million Years

The Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County is set to unveil a new dinosaur exhibit featuring "Gnatalie," a previously undiscovered species of sauropod with a unique green hue. Discovered in Utah in 2007, Gnatalie's fossils were excavated over a decade and have been meticulously prepared for display. The exhibit is part of the museum's $75-million NHM Commons expansion, and the dinosaur will be a centerpiece, offering visitors a glimpse into the Jurassic era.

"World's Only Green-Boned Dinosaur 'Gnatalie' Debuts in LA"

The Natural History Museum in Los Angeles will display "Gnatalie," the only known green-boned dinosaur, whose unique coloration comes from the mineral celadonite. Discovered in Utah in 2007, this long-necked herbivore lived 150 million years ago and is similar to the Diplodocus. The green bones resulted from volcanic activity during fossilization, making Gnatalie a rare and significant find for paleontologists.
