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.

Otozoum tracks in the Dinosaur State Park and Arboretum, Rocky Hill, Connecticut, USA. 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."

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.

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.

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.

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.
