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.

Fujianvenator is an anchiornithid avialan from the Late Jurassic of China, whose discovery gave important insight to the evolution of birds. It had proportionately long legs, with the tibia twice the length of the femur. This suggests it may have been a strong runner, and possibly had a terrestrial or wading lifestyle. Fujianvenator was a small dinosaur, weighing about 640 g. As an avialan, it was almost certainly covered in feathers, though it does not seem likely to have been capable of flight.

Coelophysis bauri (Cope, 1887) theropod dinosaur from the Triassic of New Mexico, USA.
This is a remarkable complete skeleton of the small early theropod Coelophysis.  It comes from a nearly monospecific concentration of numerous complete to disarticulated skeletons in reddish-colored fluvial siltstones, often called a "Coelophysis graveyard".  This occurrence has been interpreted as a carcass-jammed channel filling following mass mortality of dinosaurs by regional drought (see Schwartz & Gillette, 1994).
Stratigraphy: Rock Point Member, Chinle Formation, Upper Triassic
Locality: Whitaker Quarry (Coelophysis Quarry), Ghost Ranch, Rio Arriba County, northern New Mexico, USA

Theropod were small to large, bipedal dinosaurs.  Almost all known members of the group were carnivorous (predators and/or scavengers).  They represent the ancestral group to the birds, and some theropods are known to have had feathers.  Some of the most well known dinosaurs to the general public are theropods, such as Tyrannosaurus, Allosaurus, and Spinosaurus.

Baminornis is the oldest known bird with a fused pygostyle, a skeletal feature that implies tail feathers. Its discovery pushed back current understanding of bird evolution and global distribution by 20 million years. Baminornis was about 15 cm in length, had many features in common with modern birds, including the capability for powered flight.

Fujianvenator is an anchiornithid avialan from the Late Jurassic of China, whose discovery gave important insight to the evolution of birds. It had proportionately long legs, with the tibia twice the length of the femur. This suggests it may have been a strong runner, and possibly had a terrestrial or wading lifestyle. Fujianvenator was a small dinosaur, weighing about 640 g. As an avialan, it was almost certainly covered in feathers, though it does not seem likely to have been capable of flight.

The "dromaeo-avemorphs", as they are informally known (Paul, 2002), represent a group of early paravian theropods with asymmetrical feathers and an Archaeopteryx-like body. According to Hartman et al. (2019), the animals shown in this image might, together, form a clade (monophyletic group) without modern birds.

Des scientifiques ont recréé un nid de dinosaure pour résoudre un mystère vieux de 70 millions d'années
nid Dinosauria Oviraptor oiseau
Les scientifiques ont recréé un nid d'oviraptors grandeur nature pour comprendre comment ces dinosaures ont fait éclore leurs œufs. Leurs expériences ont montré que le parent ne pouvait probablement pas chauffer tous les œufs directement, ce qui signifie que la lumière du soleil jouait un rôle clé. Ce chauffage inégal pourrait faire éclore les œufs d’un même nid à des moments différents. Les résultats suggèrent que les oviraptors utilisaient une méthode d’incubation hybride contrairement aux oiseaux modernes.

Ces dinosaures avaient des ailes mais ne pouvaient pas voler
plume fossile Anchiornis Dinosauria oiseau
Certains dinosaures à plumes ont peut-être brièvement pris leur envol, pour y renoncer plus tard. En étudiant des fossiles rares avec des plumes préservées, les chercheurs ont découvert un indice surprenant caché dans les schémas de mue, révélant qu’Anchiornis ne pouvait probablement pas voler du tout. Au lieu du remplacement soigné et symétrique des plumes observé chez les oiseaux volants, ces dinosaures ont présenté une mue désordonnée et irrégulière, ce que seuls les animaux incapables de voler présentent.

Un squelette de dinosaure presque complet découvert en Patagonie aide les scientifiques à percer le mystère des alvarezsaures, un groupe étrange de dinosaures ressemblant à des oiseaux. Le fossile d'Alnashetri cerropoliciensis révèle que ces animaux sont devenus minuscules avant de développer leurs caractéristiques spécialisées ultérieures, telles que des bras tronqués et des adaptations mangeuses de fourmis. Pesant moins de deux livres, le dinosaure est l’un des plus petits connus d’Amérique du Sud.

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 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.
