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.

Les scientifiques ont comparé les dinosaures aux mammifères pendant des décennies, mais n'ont pas compris cette différence clé
prédateur juvénile Dinosauria mammifères
Les bébés dinosaures n’étaient pas dorlotés comme des lionceaux ou des éléphanteaux, ils ressemblaient plutôt à des enfants préhistoriques à clé. De nouvelles recherches suggèrent que les jeunes dinosaures se sont rapidement isolés, formant des groupes réservés aux enfants et survivant sans grande aide parentale, tandis que leurs grands parents menaient des vies complètement différentes. Étant donné que les juvéniles et les adultes mangeaient des aliments différents, affrontaient différents prédateurs et se déplaçaient dans différentes parties du paysage, ils pourraient avoir fonctionné presque comme des espèces distinctes.

Un spinosaure géant à crête, le « héron de l'enfer », découvert dans le Sahara
crête prédateur Niger fossile Dinosauria Spinosauria
Au cœur du Sahara, des scientifiques ont découvert Spinosaurus mirabilis, un nouveau prédateur spectaculaire couronné d'une crête massive en forme de cimeterre qui aurait pu autrefois briller de couleurs sous le soleil du désert. Découvert dans des gisements de rivières intérieures isolées au Niger, le fossile réécrit ce que nous pensions savoir sur les dinosaures spinosaures, suggérant qu'ils n'étaient pas des chasseurs entièrement aquatiques mais de puissants échassiers traquant les poissons dans les cours d'eau boisés à des centaines de kilomètres de la mer.

Faites place (beaucoup d'espace... sauvegardez davantage... continuez... continuez... backbackbackback) pour le puissant Spinosaurus Aegyptiacus ! Le Spinosaurus était un dinosaure carnivore qui vivait dans ce qui est aujourd'hui l'Afrique, notamment en Égypte, au Maroc et au Niger, à la fin du Crétacé, il y a environ 97 à 95 millions d'années.  C'était un animal massif, le plus gros individu connu mesurant peut-être 49 pieds (environ 15 m) de long du museau à la queue à l'âge adulte, ce qui en fait le plus long dinosaure carnivore connu de la science.  La génération

Chine juvénile Dinosauria Iguanodontia
Un dinosaure vieux de 125 millions d’années vient de réécrire ce que nous pensions savoir sur la vie préhistorique. Des scientifiques chinois ont découvert un iguanodontien juvénile exceptionnellement préservé, avec une peau fossilisée si détaillée que les cellules individuelles sont encore visibles. Plus étonnant encore, le dinosaure herbivore était couvert de pointes creuses ressemblant à des porcs-épics, des structures jamais documentées auparavant chez aucun dinosaure.

Cette semaine, nous allons jeter un œil à un dinosaure à bec de canard bien connu.  Entrez le Corythosaure !  Le Corythosaurus était un herbivore appartenant au groupe des lambiosaurines de la famille des Hadrosauridae. (becs de canard) Les hadrosaures lambiosaurines avaient généralement une crête creuse sur la tête et un bec plus étroit que les autres types d'hadrosaures.  Il était étroitement lié à d'autres hadrosaures lambiosaurines tels que Parasaurolophus, Hypacrosaurus, Lambeosaurus et Velafrons.  Il vivait dans ce qui est aujourd'hui l'Alberta, au Canada,
