The Victoria & Albert Museum has sent a life-sized marble head of Eros back to Turkey. The 3rd century Sidamara Sarcophagus is one of the biggest, heaviest, and most significant Roman sarcophagi ever discovered. V&A conservators traveled with the head and collaborated with specialists from the Istanbul Archaeological Museum to reattach it to the lid.

A strange enormous kangaroo roamed the steep jungles of New Guinea long ago, practically until the end of the last ice age. According to new studies, this kangaroo was not closely linked to present Australian kangaroos. Rather, it is a previously unknown species of primitive kangaroo found only in New Guinea.

Two mysteries have been a head-scratcher for many paleoclimate experts: Where did the last ice age’s ice sheets come from, and how did they grow so fast? These puzzles may have been clarified by a recent study that was published in Nature Geoscience and offered an answer. These results could potentially be used to understand previous glacial epochs.
