A Yale study in Current Biology, using machine learning on thousands of fossil measurements, suggests Spinosaurus was largely aquatic while some marine reptiles once thought fully aquatic spent considerable time on land. ScienceDaily
ScienceDailyNew evidence suggests spinosaurus spent most of its life underwaterMillions of years after animals first conquered land, some took an extraordinary evolutionary U-turn and returned to the water. Using machine learning and thousands of fossil measurements, Yale scientists have uncovered surprising clues about which prehistoric creatures truly became aquatic. Their f
How much should we trust statistical models over fossil intuition when reconstructing how extinct animals lived?
