New discovery suggests Prototaxites may belong to an extinct, unknown lineage Prototaxites, a mysterious ancient fossil, has puzzled scientists for over a century due to its unusual biology.

"We report that Prototaxites taiti was the largest organism in the Rhynie ecosystem and its anatomy was fundamentally distinct from all known extant or extinct fungi," the researchers wrote in the ...

Discovered over 160 years ago, Prototaxites fossils continue to divide scientists. These 400-million-year-old structures may belong to a completely extinct branch of life. Prototaxites in an Early ...

For the first time ever, scientists say they have made a species de-extinct, bringing the dire wolf back into the world thousands of years after it died off. Colossal Biosciences, a company based ...

A group of scientists claims to have brought back to life a species of wolf that went extinct more than 10,000 years ago - but is it true? Here's all we know about the three pups created by ...
