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.

New Fossil from Brazil Reveals Unexpected Diversity among Pre-Dinosaur Herbivores
Un nouveau fossile du Brésil révèle une diversité inattendue parmi les herbivores pré-dinosaures
mâchoire Brésil Trias fossile Dinosauria nouvelle espèce partiel crâne
Des paléontologues du Brésil ont identifié un nouveau genre et une nouvelle espèce de rhynchosaure hyperodapédontique – une lignée éteinte de reptiles herbivores à bec – sur la base d'un crâne partiel et de mâchoires inférieures récupérés dans des roches du Trias. L'article Un nouveau fossile du Brésil révèle une diversité inattendue parmi les herbivores pré-dinosaures est apparu en premier sur Sci.News : Breaking Science News.

De superbes traces de dinosaures vieilles de 132 millions d’années réécrivent l’histoire
fossile empreintes Dinosauria découverte
Un mystère de longue date dans les archives fossiles de l’Afrique australe commence à être résolu. Après que des coulées de lave massives, il y a 182 millions d'années, aient semblé effacer les traces de dinosaures dans la région, les scientifiques ont maintenant découvert de nouveaux indices surprenants le long de la côte du Cap occidental. Des dizaines de traces de dinosaures, vieilles d'environ 132 millions d'années, ont été découvertes dans une petite étendue rocheuse près de Knysna, ce qui en fait les plus jeunes jamais découvertes en Afrique australe.

Cet ancien parent du crocodile a grandi sur quatre pattes puis a marché sur deux
fossile Dinosauria
Un étrange parent d'un crocodile de l'époque des dinosaures réécrit ce que les scientifiques pensaient savoir sur les anciens reptiles. Cette créature de la taille d'un caniche, appelée Sonselasuchus cedrus, semble avoir commencé sa vie en marchant à quatre pattes avant de passer à une position sur deux pattes à mesure qu'elle grandissait - une transformation inhabituelle rarement observée dans les archives fossiles.

Ces minuscules fossiles de dinosaures ont trompé les scientifiques pendant 20 ans
armure os croissance fossile Ankylosauria Dinosauria découverte
De minuscules fossiles de dinosaures qui ont intrigué les scientifiques pendant plus de 20 ans ont enfin révélé leur véritable identité. Plutôt que d’appartenir à une espèce miniature, ce sont en réalité des bébés ankylosaures, certains âgés de moins d’un an, y compris un possible nouveau-né. En étudiant les schémas de croissance osseuse, les chercheurs ont confirmé que ces jeunes dinosaures n’étaient pas encore devenus des adultes de grande taille. La découverte apporte un nouvel éclairage sur la façon dont les ankylosaures se sont développés, montrant qu'ils ont commencé à développer une armure étonnamment tôt.

États-Unis Cedar Mountain Lance Crétacé Dinosauria Peloroplites
 Cette semaine, nous allons découvrir un grand dinosaure tank.  Entrez Peloroplites cedrimontanus ! Le Peloroplites était un dinosaure herbivore qui vivait dans ce qui est aujourd'hui l'Utah, aux États-Unis, pendant la période du Crétacé, il y a entre 98 et 93 millions d'années.  Du museau à la queue, il mesurait environ 6 m de long.  Son nom de genre se traduit par « Hoplite géant » en référence aux hoplites, les anciens soldats grecs qui portaient des lances et de grands boucliers.  Le nom de l'espèce se traduit par « Cedar Mountain ».
