To ease comparison, A and C have been reversed. A-B. Lateral view of both surangulars showing same unique shape; note the upturned, almost 90-degree angle bend and the spatulate-shaped posterior end. C-D. Medial view of both surangulars displaying same morphology posteriorly; anteriorly the Lilstock specimen (D) has been heavily eroded and distorted along its length. Note the position of an elongated foramen on the lateral surface (A-B), identified as part of the fossa surangularis that passes through the bone into the Meckelian canal. See also the damaged (?)angular that is articulated with the surangular and defined by a continuous groove (?suture) as seen in Fig 2H.

fragments of dorsal ribs (dr1, dr2), elements of gastral ribs (unlabelled), the second ischium

caudal ribs (?cr1-3). TWE 480000454-D, -E, and -M mainly contain dorsal ribs (dr3-9) and
elements of gastral ribs as well as two more isolated halves of neural arches (na4, na5), and a

Les scientifiques ont découvert une nouvelle espèce d’amphibien éteinte cachée dans les collections de fossiles de La Brea Tar Pits à Los Angeles. Nommé Spea labreae, le crapaud de la période glaciaire est une découverte exceptionnellement rare : un seul autre amphibien éteint du Pléistocène a jamais été identifié en Amérique du Nord. Ses ossements étaient conservés dans des collections depuis les années 1950 avant qu'un chercheur ne remarque des caractéristiques qui le distinguaient des espèces connues.

Des fossiles collectés à Osaka il y a plus de 30 ans ont révélé une surprise cachée à la vue de tous : quatre os jusqu'alors méconnus provenant d'un mosasaure géant du Crétacé. Parmi eux se trouve le premier prémaxillaire confirmé – l’os le plus en avant de la mâchoire supérieure – jamais identifié dans un fossile de mosasaure japonais. Plus intrigant encore, certaines parties du crâne présentent des caractéristiques anatomiques inhabituelles qui ne correspondent pas aux mosasaures connus, ce qui laisse penser que les restes appartiennent à une espèce entièrement nouvelle.
