Rates of skeletal character evolution in the skull and postcranial skeleton of hadrosauroids. Cladograms illustrate the results from branch likelihood tests for two morphological partitions: skull (cranium and mandible) (A) and postcranial skeleton (B). In both cladograms, results from the branch likelihood tests are summarized on a strict consensus tree derived from four separately analyzed MPTs, each with 100 dating replicates (a total of 400 Hedman-dated phylogenies). Pie charts on branches illustrate the proportion of dating replicates that showed significantly high rates (red), slow rates (blue), or nonsignificant average rates (white). No pie charts are plotted on branches that showed nonsignificant rates in 100% of dating replicates. Branches that showed high rates (red) in more than 50% of dating replicates are doubled in length. See the Supplementary Material for Hedman-based results plotted separately for each MPT (Supplementary Fig. S2) and for results using the MBL dating method (Supplementary Fig. S3). Silhouettes were created by Scott Hartman and were downloaded from http://phylopic.org (Creative Commons license CC BY 3.0).

mâchoire Chine Dévonien Dévonien poisson nouvelle espèce crâne
Des paléontologues chinois ont identifié une nouvelle espèce de poisson blindé et sans mâchoire provenant de roches vieilles d'environ 419 millions d'années, dont le crâne avait la forme d'une aile de chauve-souris et dont la tête inhabituelle en faisait un planeur efficace dans les mers du Dévonien. L'article Rencontrez Bataspis crux, un poisson sans mâchoire qui a navigué dans les mers du Dévonien avec une tête de chauve-souris est apparu en premier sur Sci.News : Breaking Science News.

Un fossile vieux de 30 ans cachait les os d'un mystérieux monstre marin ancien
os mâchoire Crétacé fossile Mosasaurus nouvelle espèce crâne
Des fossiles collectés à Osaka il y a plus de 30 ans ont révélé une surprise cachée à la vue de tous : quatre os jusqu'alors méconnus provenant d'un mosasaure géant du Crétacé. Parmi eux se trouve le premier prémaxillaire confirmé – l’os le plus en avant de la mâchoire supérieure – jamais identifié dans un fossile de mosasaure japonais. Plus intrigant encore, certaines parties du crâne présentent des caractéristiques anatomiques inhabituelles qui ne correspondent pas aux mosasaures connus, ce qui laisse penser que les restes appartiennent à une espèce entièrement nouvelle.

Les paléontologues ont nommé une nouvelle espèce de dinosaure théropode du Nouveau-Mexique. Le dinosaure, Dinevenator Robustus, vivait il y a environ 73 millions d'années (stade faunique campanien du Crétacé supérieur). Les chercheurs ont identifié le dinosaure à partir d’un os fossile du crâne (un frontal) trouvé dans le nord-ouest du Nouveau-Mexique. Il représente un nouveau genre et une nouvelle espèce de troodontidé. Troodontidés

L’oiseau dodo possédait un monde sensoriel secret que les scientifiques découvrent seulement maintenant
oiseau tomographie découverte crâne
Les tomodensitogrammes des crânes de dodo les plus rares au monde suggèrent que l'oiseau disparu aurait pu avoir un odorat plus fort, un bec très sensible et un mode de vie qui s'étendait jusqu'à l'aube et au crépuscule. Ces découvertes contribuent à renverser des mythes vieux de plusieurs siècles et à révéler un animal bien plus complexe que le fameux dodo « stupide » de l’imagination populaire.

Un fossile négligé depuis près de 80 ans a révélé un parent de crocodile jusqu'alors inconnu qui vivait il y a 210 millions d'années dans ce qui est aujourd'hui le Nouveau-Mexique. Nommé Eosphorosuchus lacrimosa, ce prédateur de la taille d'un chacal avait un crâne renforcé, des muscles de mâchoire puissants et un museau court conçu pour s'attaquer à des proies plus grosses.
