.   Scientists Unearth 220 Million-Year-Old Dinosaur Fossils in Argentina, Weird’ turtle-like dicynodonts ‘were the first Animals to have tusks’ A site containing the 220-million-year-old fossilised remains of nearly a dozen dinosaurs has been discovered in western Argentina, researchers said Wednesday. “There are almost ten different individuals, it’s a mass of bones, there’s practically no sediment,” said Argentinian paleontologist Ricardo Martinez. “It’s very impressive.” According to Martinez, of the University of San Juan, the fossils are approximately 220 million years old, belonging to “an era of which we know little”. “This discovery is doubly important because there are at least seven or eight individuals of dicynodonts, the ancestors of mammals, the size of an ox,” he said. He said there were also remains of archosaurs, reptiles that could be the ancestors of great crocodiles “that we do not know about yet”. The find was discovered in September...

All 4 wild-card series resulted in 2-0 sweeps this season, leaving us without MLB action both yesterday and today. With the divisional round starting up tomorrow the betting markets are open and moving and there is a play I am aiming to lock in early. Our first 2 playoff prop bets came in games involving the Philadelphia Phillies, but we will shift focus this time around and head to Los Angeles for the Dodgers Game 1 matchup with the Arizona Diamondbacks. Let’s dive in! Merrill Kelly, ARI, Under 5.5 strikeouts (-135) Odds available at BetMGM, DraftKings and Caesars sportsbooks at time of publishing. Playable to -155 odds.

President Joe Biden called for a change of the "poisonous atmosphere in Washington" after some Republicans joined the Democratic Party to oust Kevin McCarthy as speaker. President Joe Biden weighed in Wednesday on the historic ouster of former Speaker Kevin McCarthy, calling on Congress to change the " poisonous atmosphere in Washington" and come together on important issues, such as funding for Ukraine. "More than anything, we need to change the poisonous atmosphere in Washington. You know, we have strong disagreements, but we need to stop seeing each other as enemies. We need to talk to one another, listen to one another, work with one another. And we can do that," Biden urged at a White House event about canceling student loans, speaking about Tuesday's historic vote. Biden acknowledged the uncertainty without a clear successor to McCarthy, saying the GOP will "reorganize" and that it's going to "take some time" to se...

How did they all die at once? Nobuaki Mizumoto was visiting the dinosaur museum in his hometown of Katsuyama, Japan, when he came across an unexpected display—not of a dinosaur, but of a school of fish. It was embedded in limestone shale and exhibited in a corner with no particular fanfare. Yet the 50-million-year-old fossil was clearly extraordinary: 259 tiny fish bodies with eyes and spines and even fins. All but a few faced the same direction, as if frozen mid-swim. Mizumoto does not specialize in fish or fossils, but he does study the collective behavior of termites at Arizona State University. He became intrigued by the idea that this fish fossil showed collective behavior, too. When fish form schools, they have to coordinate their swimming, staying together without crashing into one another. Enjoy a year of unlimited access to The Atlantic—including every story on our site and app, subscriber newsletters, and more. Of course, behavior doesn’t usually fossilize well. Sc...

Before we get to the Divisional round or Conference series, it’s time for the Wild Card. And looking at this year’s Wild Card schedule, the action should live up to the name. Here’s how it works: eight teams are fighting to move on to the next round in a best-of-3 series that runs from Tuesday to Thursday. Each series will have the same location for all three Game s, so being the home team is a massive advantage. The four teams that advance will play on Saturday, so it will be a grueling week for the eight teams after a long 162- Game season. Below, you can find the Wild Card matchups with the series winner odds as well as my best bet for each series. I’ve waited six months to say this: it’s time for playoff baseball.
