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]

Hongrie Crétacé Crétacé supérieur fossile Ajkaceratops Dinosauria
Cette semaine, nous allons découvrir un dinosaure unique qui vivait dans un environnement encore plus unique.  Parlons d'Ajkaceratops kozmai ! Ajkaceratops était un petit dinosaure herbivore qui vivait dans ce qui est aujourd'hui la Hongrie à la fin du Crétacé, il y a environ 85 millions d'années.  Du bec à la queue, il mesurait probablement un peu plus de 1 m de long.  Le nom du genre se traduit par « Ajka Horned Face », faisant référence à la ville de Hongrie près de l'endroit où ses fossiles ont été trouvés.  Aquarelle d'Ajkaceratops par C

Un fossile légendaire oblige les scientifiques à repenser les origines humaines
Afrique du Sud fossile origine humaine nouvelle espèce squelette
L'un des fossiles d'ancêtres humains les plus complets jamais découverts pourrait appartenir à une espèce entièrement nouvelle, selon une équipe de recherche internationale. Le célèbre squelette du « Little Foot » d’Afrique du Sud a longtemps été débattu, mais de nouvelles analyses suggèrent qu’il ne correspond vraiment à aucune espèce d’australopithèque connue. Au lieu de cela, les chercheurs affirment que son mélange unique de caractéristiques pointe vers un parent humain jusqu’alors non identifié, remodelant les idées sur la diversité humaine primitive.

Cet ancien fossile pourrait réécrire l'histoire des origines humaines
fossile découverte origine humaine étude
Les scientifiques ont peut-être résolu la question de savoir si un fossile vieux de sept millions d’années pouvait marcher debout. Une nouvelle étude a trouvé des preuves anatomiques solides que Sahelanthropus tchadensis était bipède, y compris une attache ligamentaire observée uniquement chez les ancêtres humains. Malgré son apparence simiesque et son petit cerveau, la structure de ses pattes et de ses hanches suggère qu'il se déplaçait avec assurance sur deux pattes. Cette découverte place la bipédie à la racine même de l’arbre généalogique humain.

Des os fossilisés révèlent les secrets d'un monde perdu
os fossile
Les chercheurs ont découvert des milliers de molécules métaboliques préservées à l’intérieur d’os fossilisés vieux de plusieurs millions d’années, offrant ainsi une nouvelle fenêtre surprenante sur la vie préhistorique. Les résultats révèlent le régime alimentaire des animaux, leurs maladies et même le climat qui les entoure, y compris des preuves d’environnements plus chauds et plus humides. Un fossile présentait même des signes d'un parasite encore connu aujourd'hui. Cette approche pourrait transformer la façon dont les scientifiques reconstruisent les écosystèmes anciens.

Cet étrange serpent ancien se cachait dans un musée depuis des décennies
os musée fossile découverte
Un étrange petit fossile de serpent trouvé sur la côte sud de l’Angleterre a enfin révélé ses secrets, plus de 40 ans après sa découverte. Le nouveau Paradoxophidion richardoweni vivait il y a environ 37 millions d’années, à une époque où la Grande-Bretagne était plus chaude et regorgeait de reptiles. Bien que connu uniquement à partir de minuscules os de la colonne vertébrale, ce « serpent paradoxal » présente un mélange surprenant de traits observés chez les serpents modernes, le plaçant près des racines mêmes du groupe de serpents le plus diversifié d’aujourd’hui.
