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]

nid fossile insecte
Les scientifiques examinant l’ambre de la collection personnelle de Goethe ont découvert trois insectes fossiles cachés, dont une fourmi éteinte préservée avec des détails extraordinaires. L’imagerie 3D avancée a permis aux chercheurs de voir non seulement les caractéristiques extérieures de la fourmi, mais également les structures à l’intérieur de son corps. Les résultats offrent de nouveaux indices sur la biologie de l’espèce et suggèrent qu’elle a probablement construit de grands nids dans les arbres.
