fossil 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."

Wild monkeys in West Africa can climb vertical tree trunks using foot flexibility scientists did not realize they possessed. The discovery challenges a key assumption about what the last common ancestor of humans and chimpanzees looked like and how it moved.

Japan Cretaceous fossil Ankylosauria Dinosauria Nodosauridae discovery
A new genus and species of armoured dinosaur has been named from fossils found in Japan. Nipponopelta yezoensis represents the first formally named Japanese ankylosaur. Furthermore, this discovery provides important information about the dispersal of nodosaurids during the Cretaceous Period. The new dinosaur was named and described by an international team of palaeontologists. The research

Remarkable Carboniferous Coelacanth Fossil Discovery in Yorkshire
Carboniferous fossil discovery
A remarkable Roundhay Park coelacanth fossil has been discovered in Leeds. The fossil is around 320 million years old. It dates from the Carboniferous. Furthermore, experts believe it represents the oldest fossil coelacanth yet found in Yorkshire. Geologist Ru Smith of the Yorkshire Geological Society made the discovery earlier this year. He found a well-preserved

324-million-year-old fossil reveals how insects conquered land
limb fossil insect
Ancient fossils suggest insects conquered land through a long amphibious phase rather than making an abrupt jump from water to dry ground. A newly identified 324-million-year-old species still carried paddle-like abdominal limbs, revealing an evolutionary bridge between aquatic ancestors and modern six-legged insects.

China Triassic fossil specimen anatomy skeleton
Scientists have described an exceptional fossil of the long-necked, Triassic marine reptile Austronaga minuta. The specimen comes from China and is around 245 million years old. Remarkably, much of the animal's digestive system has been preserved. The almost complete fossil provides scientists with an unprecedented view of the skeleton and internal anatomy of an archosauromorph.
