Dinosaurs might have been beachcombers that dined on washed-up seafood, researchers report.
Researchers looked at carbon isotope traces in fossilized teeth and bones from coastal-dwelling dinosaurs and found a signature that could be linked to the consumption of seafood. The work highlights the connections terrestrial and marine ecosystems have had for millions of years.
Storms wash marine matter ashore, which can serve as food sources for land-dwelling animals. This is known as marine subsidiza
