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."

Une momie de dinosaure retrouvée avec des sabots et une crête cachée
crête écaille film Dinosauria Edmontosaurus
Les scientifiques ont reconstitué le profil le plus complet et le plus réaliste d’Edmontosaurus annectens grâce à un processus de préservation extraordinaire appelé modèle d’argile, dans lequel un mince film d’argile a capturé la peau, les écailles, les pointes et même les sabots du dinosaure en trois dimensions. En combinant des «momies» récemment fouillées, une imagerie avancée et une reconstruction artistique, les chercheurs ont révélé une haute crête, une seule rangée de pointes de queue, de délicates écailles ressemblant à des cailloux et, ce qui est le plus remarquable, le plus ancien sabot connu.

 Cette semaine, nous allons découvrir un dinosaure dont l'identité a fait l'objet de nombreux débats pendant des décennies.  Découvrez Nanotyrannus ! Nanotyrannus était un dinosaure carnivore qui vivait dans ce qui est aujourd'hui le Montana aux États-Unis au cours de la dernière période du Crétacé, il y a entre 67 et 66 millions d'années.  Du museau à la queue, il mesurait entre 17 et 20 pieds (6,2 mètres) de long à l’état adulte. Le nom du genre se traduit par « petit tyran nain » car on pensait à l'origine qu'il s'agissait d'un proche parent.

migration prédateur Dinosauria Khankhuuluu Tyrannosaurus découverte nouvelle espèce
Les scientifiques ont dévoilé Khankhuuluu, une nouvelle espèce de dinosaure mongol qui est antérieure et ressemble beaucoup aux premiers tyrannosaures. Avec son long museau, ses petites cornes et sa silhouette élancée, il représente une forme de transition entre les prédateurs rapides de taille moyenne et les chasseurs géants comme le T. rex. La découverte suggère également que les grands tyrannosaures ont évolué pour la première fois en Amérique du Nord à la suite d'une ancienne migration en provenance d'Asie.
