An Ankylosaurus head (cast of specimen AMNH 5214), on display at the Museum of the Rockies in Bozeman, Montana.  This is from a specimen collected in Custer County, Montana.
The Ankylosauria were armored dinosaurs that lived from 122 million years ago to 66 million years ago in western North America, Europe, and East Asia.  There were two subgroups:  The Nodosauridae and Ankylosauridae. 
The Ankylosauridae contained six species, and a single subfamily -- the Ankylosaurinae.  There 18 genus within the subfamily, of which Ankylosaurus is the best known.  Ankylosaurus as the last of these, and lived 65.5 to 66.5 million years ago.
Ankylosaurus was about 20.5 feet long, 5 feet wide, and 5.5 feet tall at the hip.  It walked on all fours, with the rear legs longer than the front ones.  They ripped vegetation, and swallowed it whole.  Their defining feature was their armor.  They body was covered in thick, heavy bony plates, and most of the plates were fused together to make them even stronger.  Embedded in the skin were more knobs of bone, and the outer skin above these knobs covered in keratin (the same stuff fingernails are made of).  Ankylosaurus had a tail club, which consisted of several large osteoderms fused to the last few tail vertebrae.

Ankylosaurus was discovered in 1908.

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.

Dinosaur National Monument is a United States National Monument located on the southeast flank of the Uinta Mountains on the border between Colorado and Utah at the confluence of the Green and Yampa Rivers. Although most of the monument area is in Moffat County, Colorado, the Dinosaur Quarry is located in Utah just to the north of the town of Jensen, Utah.
The nearest communities are Jensen, Utah, and Dinosaur, Colorado. The park contains over 800 paleontological sites and has fossils of dinosaurs including Allosaurus, Deinonychus, Abydosaurus (a nearly complete skull, lower jaws and first four neck vertebrae of the specimen DINO 16488 found here at the base of the Mussentuchit Member of the Cedar Mountain Formation is the holotype for the description) and various long-neck, long-tail sauropods. It was declared a National Monument on October 4, 1915.
The rock layer enclosing the fossils is a sandstone and conglomerate bed of alluvial or river bed origin known as the Morrison Formation from the Jurassic Period some 150 million years old. The dinosaurs and other ancient animals were carried by the river system which eventually entombed their remains in Utah.
The pile of sediments were later buried and lithified into solid rock. The layers of rock were later uplifted and tilted to their present angle by the mountain building forces that formed the Uintas during the Laramide orogeny. The relentless forces of erosion exposed the layers at the surface to be found by paleontologists.
The dinosaur fossil beds (bone beds) were discovered in 1909 by Earl Douglass, a paleontologist working and collecting for the Carnegie Museum of Natural History. He and his crews excavated thousands of fossils and shipped them back to the museum in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania for study and display. President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed the dinosaur beds as Dinosaur National Monument in 1915. The monument boundaries were expanded in 1938 from the original 80-acre (320,000 m2) tract surrounding the dinosaur quarry in Utah, to its present extent of over 200,000 acres (800 km²) in Utah and Colorado, encompassing the spectacular river canyons of the Green and Yampa.
Though lesser-known than the fossil beds, the petroglyphs in Dinosaur National Monument are another treasure the monument holds. Due to problems with vandals, many of the sites are not listed on area maps.
The "Wall of Bones" located within the Dinosaur Quarry building in the park consists of a steeply tilted (67° from horizontal) rock layer which contains hundreds of dinosaur fossils. The enclosing rock has been chipped away to reveal the fossil bones intact for public viewing. In July 2006, the Quarry Visitor Center was closed due to structural problems that since 1957 had plagued the building because it was built on unstable clay. The decision was made to build a new facility elsewhere in the monument to house the visitor center and administrative functions, making it easier to resolve the structural problems of the quarry building while still retaining a portion of the historic Mission 66 era exhibit hall. It was announced in April 2009 that Dinosaur National Monument would receive $13.1 million to refurbish and reopen the gallery as part of the Obama administration's $750 billion stimulus plan. The Park Service successfully rebuilt the Quarry Exhibit Hall, supporting its weight on 70-foot steel micropile columns that extend to the bedrock below the unstable clay. The Dinosaur Quarry was reopened in Fall 2011.

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.

os croissance prédateur spécimen Tyrannosaurus étude
Le Tyrannosaurus rex a peut-être mis beaucoup plus de temps à grandir que les scientifiques ne le pensaient autrefois. En analysant les anneaux de croissance des os fossilisés des pattes de 17 spécimens de tyrannosaures et en utilisant de nouvelles méthodes statistiques, les chercheurs ont découvert que le célèbre prédateur avait probablement mis environ 40 ans pour atteindre sa taille maximale, soit environ huit tonnes, au lieu des 25 ans précédemment estimés.

os ADN croissance Italie découverte génétique
Un double enterrement de la période glaciaire en Italie a donné lieu à une révélation génétique étonnante. L'ADN d'une mère et d'une fille ayant vécu il y a plus de 12 000 ans montre que la plus jeune souffrait d'un trouble de croissance héréditaire rare, confirmé par des mutations dans un gène clé de la croissance osseuse. Sa mère portait une version plus douce de la même mutation. Cette découverte résout non seulement un mystère de longue date, mais prouve également que les maladies génétiques rares remontent loin dans la préhistoire.

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,

De nouvelles preuves provenant de charniers néolithiques dans le nord-est de la France suggèrent que certaines des premières confrontations violentes en Europe n’étaient pas des actes de brutalité aléatoires, mais des démonstrations de pouvoir soigneusement mises en scène. En analysant des indices chimiques contenus dans des os et des dents anciennes, les chercheurs ont découvert que de nombreuses victimes étaient des étrangers qui avaient subi une violence extrême et ritualisée après le conflit. Les armes coupées semblent avoir été prises sur des ennemis locaux tués au combat, tandis que des captifs venus de plus loin ont été exécutés dans un gri

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.
