Dinosaur snacked on seaweed washed up on North American coasts, fossil teeth suggest
A new study published in Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution suggests that dinosaurs may have snacked on seaweed washed up on North American coasts, a phenomenon known as marine subsidization (MS). This occurs when storms wash marine material onto shorelines, providing food for land animals. The research highlights the potential importance of MS during periods when terrestrial ecosystems produce less food, such as during droughts.
