"Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging. At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story."
"Because of its age (203 million years old), the specimen had added importance as, potentially, an unusually large early flesh-eating dinosaur. Dinosaurs originated during the Triassic period, from 252201 million years ago, but generally the flesh-eating forms remained under 3 metres in length and weighed no more than an alsatian dog. We knew the 1899 specimen, from the late Triassic near Cardiff in south Wales, showed portions of an ancient animal's jaw and flesh-eating teeth,"
The Independent covers major US issues on the ground, including reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech, and funds journalism through donations while avoiding paywalls. Imaging technology has transformed palaeontology by enabling study of fossils buried in rock or too small to handle. Two recent studies applied these methods and revealed a new dinosaur species that dominated contemporaneous carnivores. Analysis of an 1899 impression of a fossil jawbone dated to about 203 million years old suggests the specimen could represent an unusually large early flesh-eating dinosaur, differing from typically small Triassic theropods.
