Achelousaurus horneri skull, collected in Glacier County, Montana, at the Museum of the Rockies in Bozeman, Montana.
The Ceratopsidae are those dinosaurs with head frills.  There are three large subgroups of Ceratopsidae: Centrosaurinae, Ceratopsinae, and Chasmosaurinae. The Triceratopsini are a "tribe" of the Chasmosaurinae -- a genus so vast that it gets the special name "tribe".  The Pachyrhinosaurini are a "tribe" within the Centrosaurinae.

Achelousaurus is a genus within the Pachyrhinosaurini.  So far, only three skulls and some limited skeletal remains have been collected anywhere in the world -- and all of them in Montana.  Their bony frills are quite similar to the Styracosaurus albertensis, although their other skull features (such as big bony bosses on the nose and behind the eyes) are not.

Reconstructed skull of Jaxartosaurus aralensis Riabinin, 1937. Only a posterior portion of the skull, as well as a surangular is known, with the rest of the skull being based mostly upon File:Aralosaurus skull.png. Jaxartosaurus is currently classified as a basal lambeosaurine, more derived than Aralosaurini, but more primitive than Parasaurolophini and Lambeosaurini. It might be more derived than Tsintaosaurini (Godefroit et al., 2004). References:

Ces dinosaures avaient des ailes mais ne pouvaient pas voler
plume fossile Anchiornis Dinosauria oiseau
Certains dinosaures à plumes ont peut-être brièvement pris leur envol, pour y renoncer plus tard. En étudiant des fossiles rares avec des plumes préservées, les chercheurs ont découvert un indice surprenant caché dans les schémas de mue, révélant qu’Anchiornis ne pouvait probablement pas voler du tout. Au lieu du remplacement soigné et symétrique des plumes observé chez les oiseaux volants, ces dinosaures ont présenté une mue désordonnée et irrégulière, ce que seuls les animaux incapables de voler présentent.

Un squelette de dinosaure presque complet découvert en Patagonie aide les scientifiques à percer le mystère des alvarezsaures, un groupe étrange de dinosaures ressemblant à des oiseaux. Le fossile d'Alnashetri cerropoliciensis révèle que ces animaux sont devenus minuscules avant de développer leurs caractéristiques spécialisées ultérieures, telles que des bras tronqués et des adaptations mangeuses de fourmis. Pesant moins de deux livres, le dinosaure est l’un des plus petits connus d’Amérique du Sud.

Haolong était un dinosaure herbivore qui vivait dans ce qui est aujourd'hui le Liaoning, en Chine, au début du Crétacé, il y a environ 112,5 millions d'années.  Le seul spécimen enregistré mesure environ 8 pieds (2,45 m) du bec à la queue, mais il était juvénile lorsqu'il est mort, l'espèce a donc probablement grandi.  Le nom du genre se traduit du chinois par "S

Les scientifiques ont comparé les dinosaures aux mammifères pendant des décennies, mais n'ont pas compris cette différence clé
prédateur juvénile Dinosauria mammifères
Les bébés dinosaures n’étaient pas dorlotés comme des lionceaux ou des éléphanteaux, ils ressemblaient plutôt à des enfants préhistoriques à clé. De nouvelles recherches suggèrent que les jeunes dinosaures se sont rapidement isolés, formant des groupes réservés aux enfants et survivant sans grande aide parentale, tandis que leurs grands parents menaient des vies complètement différentes. Étant donné que les juvéniles et les adultes mangeaient des aliments différents, affrontaient différents prédateurs et se déplaçaient dans différentes parties du paysage, ils pourraient avoir fonctionné presque comme des espèces distinctes.

Au cœur du Sahara, des scientifiques ont découvert Spinosaurus mirabilis, un nouveau prédateur spectaculaire couronné d'une crête massive en forme de cimeterre qui aurait pu autrefois briller de couleurs sous le soleil du désert. Découvert dans des gisements de rivières intérieures isolées au Niger, le fossile réécrit ce que nous pensions savoir sur les dinosaures spinosaures, suggérant qu'ils n'étaient pas des chasseurs entièrement aquatiques mais de puissants échassiers traquant les poissons dans les cours d'eau boisés à des centaines de kilomètres de la mer.
