Skull of Lesothosaurus - ornithischian dinosaur

Dinosauria Lesothosauria Ornithischia crâne
The nodosaurid dinosaur, Glyptodontopelta is mostly known from isolated osteoderms ("armor plates"). The specimen SMP VP-1580 (State Museum of Pennysylvania) is however, the most complete known specimen, comprising parts of the skull, hundreds of osteoderms and fragments. This specimen was discovered in 2003 by Warwick Fowler, in the Naashoibito Member of the Ojo Alamo Formation (Maatrichtian, Late Cretaceous) of the San Juan Basin, New Mexico, during an expedition led by Dr. Robert Sullivan.

In 2000 a virtually complete Scelidosaurus skeleton was discovered in England. This fossil's hundreds of armor plates and spikes are preserved in their life positions, providing extraordinary details about how this dinosaur looked. St. George is the only place anywhere in the Western Hemisphere that the 11-foot long Scelidosaurus replica has been on display.
The St. George Dinosaur Discovery Site at Johnson Farm (St. George, Utah) is home to exceptionally well-preserved dinosaur tracks, some displaying skin impressions. These tracks, along with hundreds of fossil fish, plants, rare dinosaur remains, invertebrates traces and important sedimentary structures, show evidence that this site was produced along the western edge of a large, Early Jurassic (age between 195-198 million years ago) freshwater lake named Lake Dixie.

Magnoavipes sp. - dinosaur track from the Cretaceous of Colorado, USA. (replica; public display, Red Rocks Amphitheater visitor center, west of Denver, Colorado, USA)
Dinosaur Ridge, Colorado has numerous dinosaur fossils, including bones and tracks.  The most common track type at the site is Caririchnium leonardii, which was made by an iguanodontid dinosaur.  A less common track is this - a slender, three-toed print called Magnoavipes, which was made by a theropod dinosaur.

The exhibit sign reads: "These large negative tracks were made by a heavy animal that walked on four toes and had a short stride. It may have been a prosauropod. All of these tracks have rare skin impressions. This specimen was removed from the Portland Quarry in 1896. Donated by Wesleyan University."

Mystery of Tyrannosaurus rex’s Tiny Arms May Finally Have an Answer
Le mystère des petits bras du Tyrannosaurus rex pourrait enfin avoir une réponse
os mâchoire prédateur proie Dinosauria Tyrannosaurus
Les paléontologues de l'University College de Londres et de l'Université de Cambridge affirment que les bras minuscules des grands dinosaures prédateurs ont évolué aux côtés de têtes massives et de mâchoires broyantes, ce qui suggère que les anciens prédateurs comptaient de plus en plus sur la morsure plutôt que sur la saisie de leurs proies. L’article Le mystère des petits bras du Tyrannosaurus rex pourrait enfin avoir une réponse apparaît en premier sur Sci.News : Breaking Science News.

Les petits bras du T. rex pourraient avoir évolué pour une raison étonnamment brutale
mâchoire membre chasse prédateur proie Dinosauria crâne
Pourquoi le T. rex avait-il des bras si petits ? Les scientifiques pensent désormais que c’est parce que sa tête géante est devenue l’outil de chasse ultime. Dans plusieurs groupes de dinosaures, des crânes plus forts et des mâchoires écrasantes ont évolué parallèlement à des membres antérieurs rétrécis, en particulier chez les prédateurs chassant d'énormes proies. En d’autres termes, une fois que la morsure est devenue suffisamment mortelle, les bras ont peut-être cessé d’avoir de l’importance.

Eocursor: Prehistoric Beast of the Week
Eocursor : Bête préhistorique de la semaine
Afrique du Sud Dinosauria Eocursor
Cette semaine, nous allons découvrir un petit dinosaure qui nous donne un aperçu des origines de certains des dinosaures les plus emblématiques, Eocursor parvus !  Eocursor se traduit par "Dawn Runner" car c'était un très ancien dinosaure et ses pattes extrêmement longues nous montrent qu'il s'agissait probablement d'un coureur rapide.  Du museau à la queue, il mesurait seulement environ 3 pieds (environ 1 m) et était un herbivore.  Il vivait il y a environ 210 millions d'années dans ce qui est aujourd'hui l'Afrique du Sud et a été découvert dans les années 1990, mais n'a pas été officiellement découvert.

fossile Dacentrurus Dinosauria Stegosauria découverte évolution crâne
Une découverte spectaculaire de dinosaures en Espagne donne aux scientifiques un nouveau regard rare sur le monde des stégosaures. Les paléontologues ont découvert le crâne de stégosaure le mieux conservé jamais découvert en Europe, appartenant à l'emblématique dinosaure plaqué Dacentrurus armatus, qui parcourait la Terre il y a environ 150 millions d'années. Parce que les crânes de stégosaures sont extrêmement fragiles et ne survivent presque jamais intacts, le fossile aide les chercheurs à découvrir des détails jusqu'alors inconnus sur l'évolution de ces géants blindés.
