Dinosaur Eggshells Reveal Fossil Ages

Researchers led by paleontologist Ryan Tucker from Stellenbosch University have developed a method using uranium-lead radioisotopic dating on dinosaur eggshells to determine their ages and the ages of surrounding fossils. This method was applied at sites in Utah and Mongolia, revealing precise ages that align with geological data. Notably, the Mongolian eggs' sediment also suggested a meteor impact around 99 million years ago. This breakthrough could transform paleontological dating accuracy across different sites.

Two Soldiers Killed in Explosive Attack on Military Convoy in Northwest Pakistan

In Khyber Pakhtunkhwa's Bannu district, near the Afghan border, a militant attack on a military convoy left two Pakistani soldiers dead, including a lieutenant colonel. The assailant used an explosive-loaded motorcycle in the attack, which the army says also killed five militants, one of whom was a suicide bomber. The Pakistani military prevented the attack from reaching civilians, describing the militants as 'khawarij', a term for banned groups like Tehreek-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP). Islamabad has accused Kabul of harboring TTP militants, although this is denied by Afghanistan. Recent violent incidents in the region have intensified since the end of a ceasefire in 2022. The Pakistani military emphasized its resolve to continue operations against such groups.
