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]

Une créature vieille de 518 millions d'années révèle les origines des crocs d'araignée
membre tissus fossile
Une minuscule créature marine vieille de 518 millions d’années a révélé les premières preuves connues des structures qui sont finalement devenues des crocs d’araignées. Cachés à l’intérieur du fossile se trouvaient des membres en forme de pinces et des tissus mous préservés qui aident à expliquer comment les ancêtres des araignées et des scorpions sont devenus de redoutables chasseurs.

Chine Cambrien Étage 3 du Cambrien fossile évolution formation
Les chercheurs ont identifié de minuscules fossiles de la formation Shuijingtuo (stade cambrien 3) du sud de la Chine qui pourraient transformer notre compréhension de l'évolution des céphalopodes. L'espèce nouvellement décrite, Eoceras shaanxiense, fournit la plus ancienne preuve connue d'un siphoncle primordial, une caractéristique anatomique cruciale qui a permis aux céphalopodes de réguler la flottabilité et de devenir finalement certains des océans.

os fossile Ichthyosauria découverte
L’un des points forts du reportage sur les nouvelles découvertes scientifiques est de voir les œuvres d’art remarquables qui accompagnent de nombreux articles de recherche. Bien que les fossiles en fournissent la preuve, il faut souvent l'habileté d'un paléoartiste talentueux pour transformer les os et les impressions en scènes vivantes des temps profonds. Par exemple, nous avons récemment parlé d’un remarquable fossile d’ichtyosaure.

Les paléontologues ont identifié le plus ancien céphalopode connu équipé d'un siphoncle - une extension tubulaire du manteau trouvée chez les céphalopodes à coquille - remontant les archives fossiles de cette caractéristique clé de l'évolution au Cambrien inférieur, il y a environ 520 millions d'années. L'article Un fossile chinois vieux de 520 millions d'années comble une lacune dans l'histoire évolutive des céphalopodes est apparu en premier sur Sci.News : Breaking Science News.

mâchoire prédateur proie Mexique Trias fossile crâne
Un fossile négligé depuis près de 80 ans a révélé un parent de crocodile jusqu'alors inconnu qui vivait il y a 210 millions d'années dans ce qui est aujourd'hui le Nouveau-Mexique. Nommé Eosphorosuchus lacrimosa, ce prédateur de la taille d'un chacal avait un crâne renforcé, des muscles de mâchoire puissants et un museau court conçu pour s'attaquer à des proies plus grosses.
