Skeletal composite of the chilean titanosaur Atacamatitan chilensis. A fragmented sauropod known from the holotype SGO-PV-961, found in the Atacama Desert. The preserved elements consist of:[1]
Right femur, the proximal end of a humerus, two dorsal vertebrae, posterior caudal vertebrae, dorsal ribs and a possibly fragmentary element of the sternum, other fragmented caudal vertebrae and indeterminate bones.[1]
Due to the fragmented nature of the holotype, most cladistic analyzes exclude Atacamatitan. Nevertheless, in 2012, Rubilar-Rogers and Gutstein conducted a preliminary cladistic analysis which placed Atacamatitan within the Lithostrotia.[2]
The original description lacks a lateral view for the humerus and femur, the lateral view for the humerus was based on Alamosaurus and Opisthocoelicaudia, since it shows resemblance with them. The lateral view of the femur is based on Mendozasaurus for the same reason.

os dent nid fossile oiseau découverte insecte mammifères
Une étonnante découverte de fossiles montre que d'anciennes abeilles utilisaient les alvéoles vides des os de mammifères comme de minuscules nids après que des hiboux aient dispersé les os sur le sol d'une grotte il y a 20 000 ans. Il s’agit de la première preuve connue de nidification d’abeilles dans des os d’animaux, révélant une stratégie de survie étonnamment créative.

Une nouvelle étude suggère que les premiers humains utilisaient le feu dans la grotte Wonderwerk en Afrique du Sud il y a 1,79 million d’années. Les chercheurs ont trouvé des ossements brûlés au plus profond de la grotte, là où les incendies naturels n'auraient pas pu atteindre, ce qui indique que le feu était probablement transporté et entretenu par les ancêtres humains. La découverte repousse la chronologie de l’utilisation du feu et révèle un comportement étonnamment sophistiqué bien avant que les humains ne puissent créer du feu à la demande.
