Researchers from Mansoura University identified on Tuesday, 30 June, what is being described as Egypt’s first confirmed record of pterosaurs, flying reptiles that dominated the skies 145 million years long before the appearance of birds. The discovery, led by the Mansoura Vertebrate Palaeontology Centre (Sallam Lab), was made in collaboration with Egypt’s Ministry of Environment, the Denver Museum of Nature & Science, and the Carnegie Museum of Natural History in the United States. The fossil consists of a rare, diagnostic piece of a pterosaur wing: the first bone element associated with the extended fourth finger, recovered from rocks of the Bahariya Formation in the Western Desert near the Bahariya Oasis. Found within the deposits of the ancient marine Bahariya environment, the specimen offers the clearest direct evidence to date that pterosaurs lived and flew in what is now northern Egypt during the Late Cretaceous, approximately 95 million years ago. Based on anatomical measurements, the researchers estimate the pterosaur represented by the fossil to have been of a medium size, with an estimated wingspan of roughly four metres. Also, the study explains that pterosaur bones were generally thin-walled and lightweight,Continue reading "Egyptian “Sallam Lab” Confirms First Pterosaur Fossil Record"

Revenues from the Suez Canal reached USD 4.67 billion (EGP 230.22 billion) in the 2025/2026 fiscal year, a 23 percent increase since the year before, the Suez Canal Authority (SCA) Chair Ossama Rabie stated in an interview with Ahmed Mousa on the Sada Al-Balad TV show on Sunday, 28 June. Rabie briefed President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi in a separate meeting the same day. During the meeting, Rabie and El-Sisi discussed recent developments in relation to the production of twelve new, advanced “REZK” class deep-sea fishing vessels. These vessels, designed for high-seas fishing, are to be manufactured in Egypt. The President also reviewed the construction of new fibreglass boats, including the completion of hulls for three cruise launches, to support both Nile and maritime tourism. The increase in Suez Canal revenues indicates an easing of regional tensions, including a recent decline in hostilities between Iran and the United States. Due to regional tensions in 2024, specifically in the Red Sea and Bab el-Mandeb, Suez Canal revenues fell to USD 3.9 billion (EGP 192.28 billion). Shipping in the region was significantly disrupted by Houthi raids on Israeli-affiliated ships inContinue reading "Suez Canal Revenue Rises 23 Percent in the 2025/2026 Fiscal Year as Regional Tensions Ease"
