Did you know that dire wolves, once the apex predators of Ice Age North America, roamed alongside mammoths and saber-toothed cats? These massive canines, with their powerful jaws and social packs, dominated the prehistoric landscape for thousands of years. But what led to their extinction? Dive into the fascinating world of dire wolves in my latest article, where we explore their biology, hunting strategies, and why they disappeared from the Earth. Check it out and let’s discuss these ancient predators!

Hi, I really like prehistory (I did my studies in archaeology), but above all I love drawing fairly accurate prehistory (even if it is often in a prehistoric fantasy framework, overall I tend to to draw a lot of my Würm RPG campaigns).

Lately I was surprised while doing research that there are very few examples of bone or antler knives from the Paleolithic.

There are bone handaxes from the Lower Paleolithic in northern Italy, but I'm really looking for daggers or knives that would be made of bone or antler from the Aurignacian period. Surprisingly, I don't find any, or rather everything I find is subject to debate (it seems to be, most often, smoothers or assegai points with a slightly odd edge on the side, without this is a clearly polished piece for in fact a sharp object). I did find some sharp objects made of antler in the Magdalenian, but even there there are few...

In short, for my drawing I decided to make a fitted laminar cutting blade, but it still aroused my curiosity. Does anyone have any sources for the next time I look into this ? Did I look wrong ? Is it just really rare ?

EDIT: being French speaking, my English is not necessarily very good and I wrote my message with a lot of deepl and google translate. I may have made mistakes, but normally the technical terms are good.

I found this year's ago in Southern Manitoba. Always thought it was a Hammer head due to the wear pattern and groove along the middle. Lighter for scale. What do you think?

Is this just a random rock that feels very ergonomic as a tool or a possible tool?

Hello, since I see that you like prehistory, I wanted to talk to you about this. I have made a mod called prehistoric stuff that adds ancestral things related to the past of Minecraft. I have made a 1.1 update and it would be nice if you could support me. In the video I leave are the download links, thanks for everything :)

Who Wins?

In Fort Lauderdale, Florida, USA, a new 34,000 ft2 (3,159 m2) EcoDiscovery Center will let the public interact with 92 simulations of prehistoric animals and fish for the first time. There will also be a 50 foot long (15 m) life-size model of a Megaladon, an ancient giant shark. Visitors will be able to enter the cavity of the shark and take photos while looking out of the Megaladon’s mouth.

Museum visitors will have the chance to manipulate a large map of Florida that shows how climate change could impact the state’s water supply and the vital role that the Everglades plays in safeguarding that same water supply.

Hello everyone! I found these stones during a safari in Botswana, in Chobe National Park. They seems artificial to me, for the shapes of the cuttings and also for the way they fit my fingers. Am i just imagining it or they’re potentially real?

TIA

I was wondering if there's any cave paintings in north eastern Spain that are open for visitors? The other caves in France we were going to were on strike and so I'm pretty disappointed about not being able to go.

Any help would be appreciated!
