The atmosphere of Earth during the Mesozoic era, between 252 and 66 million years ago, contained far more carbon dioxide than it does today and total photosynthesis...
The first bodies to form in the Solar System acquired their materials from stars, the presolar molecular cloud and the protoplanetary disk. Asteroids that...
Around 390 million years ago (Devonian period), marine animals began colonizing depths previously uninhabited. New research led by scientists from Duke...
