fossile Plectropterna
Crâne de mosasaure d'espèce Platecarpus tympaniticus (squamates, mosasaures).
Provenance : Smoky Hill Chalk, Kansas (aux Etats-Unis).
Date : Crétacé supérieur, période du Campanien, 88 millions d'années avant notre ère.
Collections du Muséum national d'histoire naturelle de Paris (France).
Exposé à l'occasion de l'exposition "Un T-Rex à Paris" au Muséum national d'histoire naturelle de Paris (France) du 6 juin au 2 septembre 2018.

Légende du fossile dans cette exposition : "Les mosasaures ne sont pas des dinosaures mais des reptiles marins, très répandus à la fin du Crétacé. Certains genres comme Globidens et Halisaurus sont connus aussi bien aux Etats-Unis qu'au Maroc. Ces animaux étaient d'excellents nageurs, capables de traverser l'Atlantique."

A hypothetical life restoration of Ampelosaurus atacis

• Ampelosaurus is known from hundreds of fossil specimens which show most of the dinosaur's osteological details, however, there are few articulated remains or reconstructions of the material so its overall proportions and life appearance are uncertain.
• Ampelosaurus is known to have supported osteoderms, only four are currently known. The number of these osteoderms that an individual Ampelosaurus would have supported in life and their and position on the body is not currently known. It's thought that due to the rarity of titanosaur osteoderms that they would be quite sparse on the body. The position and layout of the osteoderms has been loosely based on this interpretation, which is based on the work of Vidal et al 2015. [1]

Lower Triassic fossil footprint (ichnite) of the ichnogenus Chirotherium, probably caused by an early archosaur, and first discovered 1833 in Hildburghausen (Thuringia, Germany). This specimen, however, ist from the Helsby Sandstone of the Storeton Quarry near Liverpool. Its species name is Chirotherium storetonense.[1]

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.

Les scientifiques ont découvert de nouveaux indices sur certains des premiers poissons de la Terre, mettant ainsi en lumière les origines anciennes des vertébrés qui ont fini par s’installer sur terre. En réanalysant de mystérieux fossiles de la célèbre formation australienne Gogo et en étudiant un crâne de poisson-poumon récemment reconstruit, vieux de 410 millions d'années et provenant de Chine, les chercheurs révèlent comment ces créatures primitives ont évolué.

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.

Une cache perdue de fossiles vieux de 250 millions d’années en Australie a réécrit une partie de l’histoire de la vie après la pire extinction massive de la Terre. Au lieu d’une seule espèce d’amphibien marin, les chercheurs ont découvert des preuves d’une communauté étonnamment diversifiée de premiers prédateurs océaniques. L'une de ces créatures avait des parents s'étendant de l'Arctique à Madagascar, ce qui montre que certains des premiers tétrapodes marins se sont répandus à travers le monde à une vitesse remarquable.

Royaume-Uni Jurassique fossile Ichthyosauria évolution squelette
Un ichtyosaure nouvellement identifié de la côte jurassique du Royaume-Uni est en train de réécrire une partie du manuel préhistorique. Surnommé le « dragon-épée du Dorset », ce reptile marin de trois mètres de long a vécu pendant une période d’évolution mal comprise, au cours de laquelle les principaux groupes d’ichtyosaures disparaissaient et de nouveaux apparaissaient. Son squelette magnifiquement préservé – doté d’un museau en forme de lame et d’un éventuel dernier repas – permet de déterminer le moment où cette transition dramatique s’est produite.
