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."

Un fossile écrasé révèle un dinosaure qui n’aurait pas dû exister
Trias fossile Dinosauria découverte extinction nouvelle espèce crâne
Un crâne de dinosaure gravement mutilé, oublié dans un tiroir, s'est avéré être une découverte rare et importante. Reconstruit par un étudiant de Virginia Tech, il a révélé une nouvelle espèce de dinosaure carnivore primitif présentant des caractéristiques inhabituelles jamais vues auparavant. Le fossile suggère que certains groupes de dinosaures ont été anéantis lors de l’extinction de la fin du Trias, et pas seulement leurs rivaux. Il s’agit peut-être de l’un des derniers survivants d’une ancienne lignée de dinosaures.

Un énorme « crocodile terroriste » de la taille d’un bus qui s’attaquait autrefois aux dinosaures a été ramené à la vie avec des détails époustouflants grâce au premier squelette complet scientifiquement précis de Deinosuchus schwimmeri. S'étendant sur plus de 9 mètres de long, cet ancien prédateur suprême régnait sur le sud-est des États-Unis il y a plus de 75 millions d'années. Les visiteurs peuvent désormais le voir de près au Tellus Science Museum, le seul endroit au monde à posséder cette réplique.

Le Diamantinasaurus vivait dans ce qui est aujourd'hui le Queensland, en Australie, au cours du Crétacé moyen, il y a entre 95 et 92 millions d'années.  Il est considéré comme de taille moyenne pour un sauropode et aurait mesuré environ 16 m de long du museau à la queue. (Oui. 52 pieds n'est qu'une taille moyenne pour les sauropodes !) Comme tous les sauropodes, il aurait mangé

os dessin Corée du Sud Dinosauria Doolysaurus tomographie découverte crâne
Des scientifiques ont découvert un bébé dinosaure rare en Corée du Sud et l'ont baptisé Doolysaurus, en hommage à un célèbre personnage de dessin animé. Grâce à des tomodensitogrammes de pointe, ils ont découvert des os cachés, notamment un crâne, dans la roche beaucoup plus rapidement que les méthodes traditionnelles. Le jeune dinosaure, peut-être duveteux et ressemblant à un agneau, avait même des calculs gastriques révélant qu'il mangeait un mélange de plantes et de petits animaux. Cette découverte suggère que de nombreux autres dinosaures pourraient encore être cachés dans les roches coréennes.
