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]

La pire extinction de la Terre a été suivie par un retour incroyablement rapide des océans
prédateur fossile découverte extinction
Un spectaculaire trésor de fossiles sur l’île arctique du Spitzberg montre que la vie marine a fait un retour étonnant après la plus grande extinction de la Terre. Des dizaines de milliers de fossiles révèlent des reptiles entièrement aquatiques et des chaînes alimentaires complexes qui prospèrent à peine trois millions d'années plus tard. Certains prédateurs mesuraient plus de cinq mètres de long, remettant en question l’idée d’une récupération lente et progressive. La découverte réécrit les débuts de l’histoire des écosystèmes océaniques.

Des os de dinosaures découverts presque les uns sur les autres en Transylvanie
os bassin Roumanie fossile Dinosauria Titanosauria squelette
Des scientifiques explorant le bassin de Hațeg en Roumanie ont découvert l’un des sites de fossiles de dinosaures les plus denses jamais découverts, avec des os presque les uns sur les autres. Le site K2 préserve des milliers de vestiges d’un lac préhistorique alimenté en crue qui agissait comme un piège osseux naturel il y a 72 millions d’années. Aux côtés de dinosaures locaux communs, les chercheurs ont découvert les premiers squelettes de titanosaures bien conservés jamais découverts dans la région. Le site révèle comment les anciens écosystèmes européens de dinosaures se sont formés et ont évolué au cours de cette période.

Un visage fossile vieux de 1,5 million d’années oblige à repenser les origines humaines
dent migration Éthiopie fossile découverte origine humaine
Des scientifiques ont reconstruit numériquement le visage d'un fossile d'Homo erectus vieux de 1,5 million d'années provenant d'Éthiopie, révélant ainsi une apparence étonnamment primitive. Bien que son boîtier crânien corresponde à celui de l'Homo erectus classique, le visage et les dents ressemblent à des ancêtres humains beaucoup plus anciens. Cette découverte remet en question les idées reçues de longue date sur le lieu et la manière dont Homo erectus a évolué. Cela fait également allusion à un réseau complexe de migrations et à un possible mélange entre les premières espèces humaines.

De nouveaux fossiles au Qatar révèlent une petite vache marine cachée depuis 21 millions d'années
os Qatar fossile
Des fossiles du Qatar ont révélé une petite espèce de vache marine nouvellement identifiée qui vivait dans le golfe Persique il y a plus de 20 millions d'années. Le site contient la collection la plus dense connue d’os fossiles de vaches marines, démontrant que ces animaux prospéraient autrefois dans de riches prairies d’herbiers marins. Leur rôle écologique reflète celui des dugongs modernes, qui remodèlent encore les fonds marins du Golfe en broutant. Les résultats pourraient aider les chercheurs à comprendre comment les écosystèmes d’herbiers marins réagissent aux changements environnementaux à long terme.
