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.

Torvosaurus: Beast of the Week
Torvosaurus : Bête de la semaine
os prédateur Allemagne Portugal États-Unis Jurassique Jurassique supérieur Dinosauria Torvosaurus
Aujourd'hui, nous allons nous intéresser à un énorme dinosaure prédateur du Jurassique, Torvosaurus tanneri !  Torvosaurus vivait il y a environ 150 millions d’années à la fin du Jurassique. Ses ossements ont été découverts dans le Colorado, aux États-Unis, au Portugal et peut-être en Allemagne (l'Europe et l'Amérique du Nord n'étaient pas aussi éloignées à l'époque, rappelez-vous, donc beaucoup de dinosaures présents sur chacun d'eux partageaient des ancêtres récents).  Du nez à la queue, il mesurait jusqu'à 36 pieds (environ 11 m) et aurait été parmi les plus grands,

Cet étrange petit dinosaure oblige à repenser l'évolution
os dent métabolisme Dinosauria Foskeia anatomie oiseau évolution mammifères étude crâne
Un petit dinosaure nouvellement identifié, Foskeia pelendonum, bouleverse les idées reçues de longue date sur l'évolution des dinosaures herbivores. Même si les adultes adultes étaient remarquablement petits et légers, leur anatomie était tout sauf simple : elles présentaient un crâne bizarre et hautement spécialisé et des traits évolutifs inattendus. Des études osseuses détaillées montrent que ces dinosaures ont mûri rapidement avec un métabolisme semblable à celui des oiseaux ou des mammifères, tandis que leurs dents et leur posture suggèrent une vie rapide et agile dans des forêts denses.

Les bébés dinosaures étaient l'épine dorsale de la chaîne alimentaire jurassique
chasse prédateur proie Jurassique fossile Dinosauria
Bien qu’ils soient devenus les plus gros animaux ayant jamais marché sur terre, les sauropodes ont commencé leur vie petits, exposés et seuls. Les preuves fossiles suggèrent que leurs bébés étaient fréquemment mangés par de multiples prédateurs, ce qui en faisait un élément clé de la chaîne alimentaire jurassique. Cet approvisionnement constant en proies faciles peut expliquer pourquoi les premiers prédateurs ont prospéré sans avoir besoin d’adaptations extrêmes en matière de chasse. Les résultats offrent un rare aperçu du fonctionnement réel des écosystèmes de dinosaures.

Cette application d'IA peut déterminer quel dinosaure a laissé une empreinte
fossile empreintes Dinosauria oiseau datation découverte
Les empreintes de dinosaures ont toujours été mystérieuses, mais une nouvelle application d'IA perce leurs secrets. DinoTracker analyse les photos de traces de fossiles et prédit quel dinosaure les a créées, avec une précision rivalisant avec celle des experts humains. En cours de route, il a découvert des empreintes de pas qui ressemblent étonnamment à celles d'un oiseau, remontant à plus de 200 millions d'années. Cette découverte pourrait repousser l’origine des oiseaux bien plus loin dans la préhistoire.
