Close-up of the traumatic lesion observed in the right squamosal bone of Big John, a fossilized specimen of the dinosaur species Triceratops horridus. This image shows plaque-like deposition of reactive bone (white arrows) and lytic lesions (black arrows) on the surface around the lesion. These suggest that the lesion was surrounded by newly-formed bone and, therefore, had started to heal.

Un fossile vieux de 250 millions d'années révèle les origines de l'audition des mammifères
os mâchoire fossile mammifères crâne
L’audition sensible pourrait avoir évolué chez les ancêtres des mammifères bien plus tôt que ne le croyaient les scientifiques. En modélisant la façon dont le son se déplaçait dans le crâne de Thrinaxodon, un prédécesseur mammifère vieux de 250 millions d'années, les chercheurs ont découvert qu'il utilisait probablement un tympan précoce pour entendre les sons aériens. Cela remet en question l’idée répandue selon laquelle ces animaux « écoutaient » principalement à travers leurs mâchoires ou leurs os. Les résultats révèlent qu’une caractéristique clé de l’audition des mammifères modernes prenait déjà forme au plus profond de la préhistoire.

Des os fossilisés révèlent les secrets d'un monde perdu
os fossile
Les chercheurs ont découvert des milliers de molécules métaboliques préservées à l’intérieur d’os fossilisés vieux de plusieurs millions d’années, offrant ainsi une nouvelle fenêtre surprenante sur la vie préhistorique. Les résultats révèlent le régime alimentaire des animaux, leurs maladies et même le climat qui les entoure, y compris des preuves d’environnements plus chauds et plus humides. Un fossile présentait même des signes d'un parasite encore connu aujourd'hui. Cette approche pourrait transformer la façon dont les scientifiques reconstruisent les écosystèmes anciens.

Un étrange petit fossile de serpent trouvé sur la côte sud de l’Angleterre a enfin révélé ses secrets, plus de 40 ans après sa découverte. Le nouveau Paradoxophidion richardoweni vivait il y a environ 37 millions d’années, à une époque où la Grande-Bretagne était plus chaude et regorgeait de reptiles. Bien que connu uniquement à partir de minuscules os de la colonne vertébrale, ce « serpent paradoxal » présente un mélange surprenant de traits observés chez les serpents modernes, le plaçant près des racines mêmes du groupe de serpents le plus diversifié d’aujourd’hui.

Des scientifiques explorant le bassin de Hațeg en Roumanie ont découvert l’un des sites de fossiles de dinosaures les plus denses jamais découverts, avec des os presque les uns sur les autres. Le site K2 préserve des milliers de vestiges d’un lac préhistorique alimenté en crue qui agissait comme un piège osseux naturel il y a 72 millions d’années. Aux côtés de dinosaures locaux communs, les chercheurs ont découvert les premiers squelettes de titanosaures bien conservés jamais découverts dans la région. Le site révèle comment les anciens écosystèmes européens de dinosaures se sont formés et ont évolué au cours de cette période.

Des fossiles du Qatar ont révélé une petite espèce de vache marine nouvellement identifiée qui vivait dans le golfe Persique il y a plus de 20 millions d'années. Le site contient la collection la plus dense connue d’os fossiles de vaches marines, démontrant que ces animaux prospéraient autrefois dans de riches prairies d’herbiers marins. Leur rôle écologique reflète celui des dugongs modernes, qui remodèlent encore les fonds marins du Golfe en broutant. Les résultats pourraient aider les chercheurs à comprendre comment les écosystèmes d’herbiers marins réagissent aux changements environnementaux à long terme.
