Achelousaurus horneri skull, collected in Glacier County, Montana, at the Museum of the Rockies in Bozeman, Montana.
The Ceratopsidae are those dinosaurs with head frills.  There are three large subgroups of Ceratopsidae: Centrosaurinae, Ceratopsinae, and Chasmosaurinae. The Triceratopsini are a "tribe" of the Chasmosaurinae -- a genus so vast that it gets the special name "tribe".  The Pachyrhinosaurini are a "tribe" within the Centrosaurinae.

Achelousaurus is a genus within the Pachyrhinosaurini.  So far, only three skulls and some limited skeletal remains have been collected anywhere in the world -- and all of them in Montana.  Their bony frills are quite similar to the Styracosaurus albertensis, although their other skull features (such as big bony bosses on the nose and behind the eyes) are not.

Reconstructed skull of Jaxartosaurus aralensis Riabinin, 1937. Only a posterior portion of the skull, as well as a surangular is known, with the rest of the skull being based mostly upon File:Aralosaurus skull.png. Jaxartosaurus is currently classified as a basal lambeosaurine, more derived than Aralosaurini, but more primitive than Parasaurolophini and Lambeosaurini. It might be more derived than Tsintaosaurini (Godefroit et al., 2004). References:

Pendant quinze ans, les Denisoviens n'ont eu ni visage ni contour. Juste de l'ADN extrait d'un fragment d'os sibérien grand comme un ongle. En 2025, un crâne exceptionnel découvert en Chine a tout changé. Homo longi, surnommé l'Homme dragon, donne enfin un visage à ce groupe humain fantôme.

Ce poisson préhistorique pourrait expliquer comment les animaux ont marché pour la première fois sur Terre
Antarctique crâne
Les scientifiques ont examiné l'intérieur du crâne d'un poisson de l'Antarctique vieux de 380 millions d'années, étroitement apparenté aux premiers animaux à avoir marché sur terre, révélant des indices surprenants sur la façon dont la vie a commencé à sortir de l'eau. Grâce à l’imagerie neutronique avancée, les chercheurs ont découvert que Koharalepis jarviki possédait des caractéristiques adaptées pour vivre près de la surface de l’eau, notamment des ouvertures dans son crâne qui auraient pu l’aider à avaler de l’air et un organe sensible à la lumière lié aux rythmes jour-nuit.

Les petits bras du T. rex pourraient avoir évolué pour une raison étonnamment brutale
mâchoire membre chasse prédateur proie Dinosauria crâne
Pourquoi le T. rex avait-il des bras si petits ? Les scientifiques pensent désormais que c’est parce que sa tête géante est devenue l’outil de chasse ultime. Dans plusieurs groupes de dinosaures, des crânes plus forts et des mâchoires écrasantes ont évolué parallèlement à des membres antérieurs rétrécis, en particulier chez les prédateurs chassant d'énormes proies. En d’autres termes, une fois que la morsure est devenue suffisamment mortelle, les bras ont peut-être cessé d’avoir de l’importance.

fossile Dacentrurus Dinosauria Stegosauria découverte évolution crâne
Une découverte spectaculaire de dinosaures en Espagne donne aux scientifiques un nouveau regard rare sur le monde des stégosaures. Les paléontologues ont découvert le crâne de stégosaure le mieux conservé jamais découvert en Europe, appartenant à l'emblématique dinosaure plaqué Dacentrurus armatus, qui parcourait la Terre il y a environ 150 millions d'années. Parce que les crânes de stégosaures sont extrêmement fragiles et ne survivent presque jamais intacts, le fossile aide les chercheurs à découvrir des détails jusqu'alors inconnus sur l'évolution de ces géants blindés.
