Sarcosaurus diagram of known material: reconstruction based on basal Ceratosaurs (such as Berberosaurus and Saltriovenator). The Skull was made to look more generic and less like more derived Ceratosaurs such as Ceratosaurus. "Liassaurus", referred to "cf. Sarcosaurus woodi" and is smaller than the holotype: material in light grey is preserved, but to what extent is uncertain as it is not figured.

About Isisaurus–

Isisaurus colberti (=Titanosaurus colberti) was a species of Titanosaurian Sauropod Dinosaur from the Late Cretaceous (Maastrichtian) age in the Indian Subcontinent. Isisaurus lived sympatrically with another Titanosaurian Sauropod Jainosaurus. It also lived alongside Theropods like Rajasaurus, Rahiolisaurus, Indosuchus etc. Remains of Isisaurus come from the Lameta formation of Central India.

Megapnosaurus is a coelophysid theropod dinosaur from the Early Jurassic Period of Africa. It was a lightly built bipedal carnivore that grew to just over 2 m long and 13 kg in body mass. Its close relation to Coelophysis has caused some confusion in classifying the genus - it had a slender build and curved S-shaped neck, but was more robust. Comparisons between the scleral rings of Megapnosaurus and modern birds and reptiles indicate that it may have been nocturnal.

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.

Ces minuscules fossiles de dinosaures ont trompé les scientifiques pendant 20 ans
armure os croissance fossile Ankylosauria Dinosauria découverte
De minuscules fossiles de dinosaures qui ont intrigué les scientifiques pendant plus de 20 ans ont enfin révélé leur véritable identité. Plutôt que d’appartenir à une espèce miniature, ce sont en réalité des bébés ankylosaures, certains âgés de moins d’un an, y compris un possible nouveau-né. En étudiant les schémas de croissance osseuse, les chercheurs ont confirmé que ces jeunes dinosaures n’étaient pas encore devenus des adultes de grande taille. La découverte apporte un nouvel éclairage sur la façon dont les ankylosaures se sont développés, montrant qu'ils ont commencé à développer une armure étonnamment tôt.

États-Unis Cedar Mountain Lance Crétacé Dinosauria Peloroplites
 Cette semaine, nous allons découvrir un grand dinosaure tank.  Entrez Peloroplites cedrimontanus ! Le Peloroplites était un dinosaure herbivore qui vivait dans ce qui est aujourd'hui l'Utah, aux États-Unis, pendant la période du Crétacé, il y a entre 98 et 93 millions d'années.  Du museau à la queue, il mesurait environ 6 m de long.  Son nom de genre se traduit par « Hoplite géant » en référence aux hoplites, les anciens soldats grecs qui portaient des lances et de grands boucliers.  Le nom de l'espèce se traduit par « Cedar Mountain ».

Les scientifiques pensaient qu'il s'agissait d'un jeune T. rex. Ils avaient tort
os croissance prédateur fossile juvénile Dinosauria Nanotyrannus
Un mystère de longue date sur les dinosaures pourrait enfin être résolu : Nanotyrannus, autrefois considéré comme un simple T. rex adolescent, semble avoir été une espèce distincte après tout. Les scientifiques ont analysé un minuscule os de la gorge du fossile original et ont découvert des schémas de croissance montrant que l'animal était déjà mature et non un géant juvénile en devenir. Ce petit prédateur, environ la moitié de la taille d'un T. rex adulte, errait probablement aux côtés de son célèbre cousin, ajoutant une nouvelle couche de complexité à l'écosystème préhistorique.
