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]

Sauropodomorphe nouvellement décrit du Trias supérieur du Zimbabwe
Zimbabwe Trias supérieur Norien Trias fossile Dinosauria
Une équipe de chercheurs internationaux a décrit un nouveau dinosaure à partir de fossiles trouvés au Zimbabwe. Ce sauropodomorphe nouvellement décrit nommé Musango matusadonaensis vivait à la fin du Trias (stade faunique norien), il y a environ 210 millions d'années. Musango est le cinquième dinosaure à être nommé d'après des fossiles découverts au Zimbabwe. De plus, ces fossiles soutiennent davantage le

Un fossile extraordinaire provenant du Queensland, en Australie, a fourni la preuve d'une chaîne alimentaire préhistorique. Les scientifiques ont identifié la première preuve définitive qu'un ichtyosaure a consommé un ptérosaure. De plus, le reptile marin est devenu plus tard la proie de l’un des plus grands prédateurs de l’ancienne mer d’Eromanga.

Des paléontologues de l'Université de Nouvelle-Galles du Sud ont décrit un nouveau genre et une nouvelle espèce de marsupial dasyurid du Miocène inférieur d'Australie, offrant ainsi la première preuve solide que la famille des Dasyuridae - qui comprend aujourd'hui les quolls, les diables de Tasmanie et les minuscules antéchines - existait bien avant que les scientifiques n'en aient la preuve dans les archives fossiles.

Égypte fossile origine humaine
Un singe fossile récemment identifié dans le nord de l’Égypte remodèle les idées sur l’endroit où les ancêtres des singes modernes ont émergé pour la première fois. Les analyses le placent plus près des singes vivants que n’importe quelle espèce connue d’Afrique de l’Est du même âge, désignant l’Afrique du Nord et le Moyen-Orient comme lieu de naissance possible et carrefour de la lignée des singes qui a finalement produit des gibbons, des orangs-outans, des gorilles, des chimpanzés et des humains.
