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]

Des scientifiques viennent de découvrir une branche perdue de marsupiaux d’Australie
Australie fossile découverte évolution mammifères
Des fossiles du Queensland suggèrent qu'un ordre de marsupiaux nouvellement reconnu pourrait avoir survécu en Australie pendant environ 35 millions d'années, réécrivant une partie de l'histoire de l'évolution des mammifères uniques du continent. Cette découverte remet en question l'idée selon laquelle les marsupiaux d'Australie seraient tous issus d'une seule lignée ancestrale.

Uragasaurus – Un nouveau sauropode Mamenchisaurid de Thaïlande
os membre vertèbre Thaïlande fossile Dinosauria Mamenchisauridae Uragasaurus nouvelle espèce
Une équipe de chercheurs internationaux a nommé une nouvelle espèce remarquable de dinosaure à long cou originaire de Thaïlande. Uragasaurus kalasinensis est le premier membre formellement décrit des Mamenchisauridae de Thaïlande. Bien que les preuves fossiles consistent en une seule vertèbre, l'os préserve une combinaison unique de caractéristiques anatomiques qui ont permis aux scientifiques d'identifier un tout nouveau corps.
