Sarcosaurus diagram of known material: reconstruction based on basal Ceratosaurs (such as Berberosaurus and Saltriovenator). The Skull was made to look more generic and less like more derived Ceratosaurs such as Ceratosaurus. "Liassaurus", referred to "cf. Sarcosaurus woodi" and is smaller than the holotype: material in light grey is preserved, but to what extent is uncertain as it is not figured.

About Isisaurus–

Isisaurus colberti (=Titanosaurus colberti) was a species of Titanosaurian Sauropod Dinosaur from the Late Cretaceous (Maastrichtian) age in the Indian Subcontinent. Isisaurus lived sympatrically with another Titanosaurian Sauropod Jainosaurus. It also lived alongside Theropods like Rajasaurus, Rahiolisaurus, Indosuchus etc. Remains of Isisaurus come from the Lameta formation of Central India.

Megapnosaurus is a coelophysid theropod dinosaur from the Early Jurassic Period of Africa. It was a lightly built bipedal carnivore that grew to just over 2 m long and 13 kg in body mass. Its close relation to Coelophysis has caused some confusion in classifying the genus - it had a slender build and curved S-shaped neck, but was more robust. Comparisons between the scleral rings of Megapnosaurus and modern birds and reptiles indicate that it may have been nocturnal.

fossile Dinosauria extinction mammifères
Un mammifère préhistorique récemment découvert pourrait détenir des indices sur la façon dont la vie a survécu à l’extinction des dinosaures. La minuscule espèce, Cimolodon desosai, vivait il y a 75 millions d'années et possédait des caractéristiques, comme un petit corps et un régime alimentaire varié, qui augmentaient probablement ses chances de survie. Trouvé en Basse-Californie, le fossile comprend de rares restes squelettiques qui révèlent comment il se déplaçait et vivait. Les chercheurs pensent que sa lignée a aidé les mammifères à endurer l’un des événements les plus meurtriers sur Terre.

Les vaisseaux sanguins découverts dans les os de T. rex réécrivent la science des dinosaures
os ADN fossile Dinosauria Tyrannosaurus
L’ADN des dinosaures est peut-être encore hors de portée, mais les scientifiques découvrent quelque chose de presque aussi passionnant : d’anciens vaisseaux sanguins cachés dans des os fossilisés. Dans un énorme Tyrannosaurus rex surnommé Scotty, les chercheurs ont découvert un réseau de vaisseaux préservés dans une côte qui s'était fracturée et avait commencé à guérir il y a 66 millions d'années. Grâce aux puissants rayons X synchrotron des accélérateurs de particules, ils ont pu observer l'intérieur du fossile dense sans l'endommager, révélant des structures complexes et riches en fer.

mâchoire prédateur proie fossile Dinosauria étude
Des poulpes géants et redoutables auraient pu autrefois régner sur les mers anciennes, selon de nouvelles recherches qui renversent le scénario de leur passé évolutif. En découvrant des mâchoires fossiles superbement préservées cachées dans la roche, les scientifiques ont révélé que les premières pieuvres de l’âge des dinosaures n’étaient pas des vagabonds timides et au corps mou : c’étaient d’énormes prédateurs au sommet, pouvant s’étendre jusqu’à 20 mètres de long et écrasant leurs proies avec de puissantes morsures.
