A hypothetical life restoration of Ampelosaurus atacis

• Ampelosaurus is known from hundreds of fossil specimens which show most of the dinosaur's osteological details, however, there are few articulated remains or reconstructions of the material so its overall proportions and life appearance are uncertain.
• Ampelosaurus is known to have supported osteoderms, only four are currently known. The number of these osteoderms that an individual Ampelosaurus would have supported in life and their and position on the body is not currently known. It's thought that due to the rarity of titanosaur osteoderms that they would be quite sparse on the body. The position and layout of the osteoderms has been loosely based on this interpretation, which is based on the work of Vidal et al 2015. [1]

Reconstruction of Tuebingosaurus maierfritzorum gen. et sp. nov. as a quadruped dinosaur, using the outline of Riojasaurus as a base ‒ next to the silhouette of Friedrich von Huene. The drawing of the bones is based on and modified from the original illustrations of specimen “GPIT IV” in von Huene (1932, pl. 38) that have been replicated in the literature. The right fibula is marked in grey as it was found nearby with similar measurements to the left fibula and has been assumed to be part of the same individual.

Achelousaurus horneri skull, collected in Glacier County, Montana, at the Museum of the Rockies in Bozeman, Montana.
The Ceratopsidae are those dinosaurs with head frills.  There are three large subgroups of Ceratopsidae: Centrosaurinae, Ceratopsinae, and Chasmosaurinae. The Triceratopsini are a "tribe" of the Chasmosaurinae -- a genus so vast that it gets the special name "tribe".  The Pachyrhinosaurini are a "tribe" within the Centrosaurinae.

Achelousaurus is a genus within the Pachyrhinosaurini.  So far, only three skulls and some limited skeletal remains have been collected anywhere in the world -- and all of them in Montana.  Their bony frills are quite similar to the Styracosaurus albertensis, although their other skull features (such as big bony bosses on the nose and behind the eyes) are not.

Reconstructed skull of Jaxartosaurus aralensis Riabinin, 1937. Only a posterior portion of the skull, as well as a surangular is known, with the rest of the skull being based mostly upon File:Aralosaurus skull.png. Jaxartosaurus is currently classified as a basal lambeosaurine, more derived than Aralosaurini, but more primitive than Parasaurolophini and Lambeosaurini. It might be more derived than Tsintaosaurini (Godefroit et al., 2004). References:

os collagène protéine fossile Dinosauria Edmontosaurus découverte
Les scientifiques ont découvert des preuves irréfutables selon lesquelles les fossiles de dinosaures peuvent encore contenir des traces de leurs protéines d'origine, renversant ainsi une croyance de longue date selon laquelle la fossilisation détruit toute matière organique. Dans un fossile d'Edmontosaurus remarquablement bien conservé du Dakota du Sud, les chercheurs ont détecté des restes de collagène – la principale protéine présente dans les os – à l'aide de techniques avancées, notamment la spectrométrie de masse et le séquençage des protéines.

Un étrange nouveau dinosaure géant découvert en Argentine donne aux paléontologues un nouveau regard sur l'évolution des titans du Jurassique dans l'hémisphère sud. Bicharracosaurus dionidei s'étendait sur environ 20 mètres de long et présentait un étrange mélange de caractéristiques observées chez les parents du Diplodocus et du Brachiosaurus. Les scientifiques pensent qu’il pourrait s’agir du premier brachiosaure du Jurassique connu d’Amérique du Sud, contribuant ainsi à combler une lacune majeure dans les archives fossiles de dinosaures.
