Learn how Scientists Used Zircon Crystals to Date a Meteorite Impact!
In a new study, researchers have observed that a meteorite impact in modern day Scotland, thought to have occurred 1.2 billion years ago, was actually much more recent, at around 990 million years ago. Their method: studying the microscopic zircon crystals that they say “captured the impact.”

What was dinosaur armor used for? New fossils help scientists find out!
While teeth and claws are usually the show-stoppers when it comes to fossils, of equal interest to scientists are plates, clubs, and spikes. While originally thought to have been developed by herbivorous dinosaurs to defend against their carnivorous counterparts, newly discovered specimens are leading researchers to draw new conclusions about the purpose of dinosaur armor.
