Fossil of Suevoleviathan, an extinct reptile- Took the picture at Museum of Paleontology at Tuebingen

Fossil of Suevoleviathan, an extinct reptile- Took the picture at Museum of Paleontology at Tuebingen

musée fossile Suevoleviathan
The Naturmuseum Senckenberg in Frankfurt is the second largest museum of natural history in Germany. It is particularly popular with children, who enjoy the extensive collection of dinosaur skeletons: Senckenberg boasts the largest exhibition of large dinosaurs in Europe. One particular treasure is a dinosaur fossil with unique, preserved scaled skin. The museum contains the world's largest and most diverse collection of stuffed birds with about 2000 specimens.

fossile Plectropterna
Crâne de mosasaure d'espèce Platecarpus tympaniticus (squamates, mosasaures).
Provenance : Smoky Hill Chalk, Kansas (aux Etats-Unis).
Date : Crétacé supérieur, période du Campanien, 88 millions d'années avant notre ère.
Collections du Muséum national d'histoire naturelle de Paris (France).
Exposé à l'occasion de l'exposition "Un T-Rex à Paris" au Muséum national d'histoire naturelle de Paris (France) du 6 juin au 2 septembre 2018.

Légende du fossile dans cette exposition : "Les mosasaures ne sont pas des dinosaures mais des reptiles marins, très répandus à la fin du Crétacé. Certains genres comme Globidens et Halisaurus sont connus aussi bien aux Etats-Unis qu'au Maroc. Ces animaux étaient d'excellents nageurs, capables de traverser l'Atlantique."

Ce dinosaure de 2 livres réécrit ce que les scientifiques savent de l'évolution
fossile Alnashetri Alvarezsauria Dinosauria oiseau évolution squelette
Un squelette de dinosaure presque complet découvert en Patagonie aide les scientifiques à percer le mystère des alvarezsaures, un groupe étrange de dinosaures ressemblant à des oiseaux. Le fossile d'Alnashetri cerropoliciensis révèle que ces animaux sont devenus minuscules avant de développer leurs caractéristiques spécialisées ultérieures, telles que des bras tronqués et des adaptations mangeuses de fourmis. Pesant moins de deux livres, le dinosaure est l’un des plus petits connus d’Amérique du Sud.

Des fossiles perdus révèlent des monstres marins qui ont pris le relais après la plus grande extinction de la Terre
prédateur Australie Madagascar fossile extinction
Une cache perdue de fossiles vieux de 250 millions d’années en Australie a réécrit une partie de l’histoire de la vie après la pire extinction massive de la Terre. Au lieu d’une seule espèce d’amphibien marin, les chercheurs ont découvert des preuves d’une communauté étonnamment diversifiée de premiers prédateurs océaniques. L'une de ces créatures avait des parents s'étendant de l'Arctique à Madagascar, ce qui montre que certains des premiers tétrapodes marins se sont répandus à travers le monde à une vitesse remarquable.

Royaume-Uni Jurassique fossile Ichthyosauria évolution squelette
Un ichtyosaure nouvellement identifié de la côte jurassique du Royaume-Uni est en train de réécrire une partie du manuel préhistorique. Surnommé le « dragon-épée du Dorset », ce reptile marin de trois mètres de long a vécu pendant une période d’évolution mal comprise, au cours de laquelle les principaux groupes d’ichtyosaures disparaissaient et de nouveaux apparaissaient. Son squelette magnifiquement préservé – doté d’un museau en forme de lame et d’un éventuel dernier repas – permet de déterminer le moment où cette transition dramatique s’est produite.

crête prédateur Niger fossile Dinosauria Spinosauria
Au cœur du Sahara, des scientifiques ont découvert Spinosaurus mirabilis, un nouveau prédateur spectaculaire couronné d'une crête massive en forme de cimeterre qui aurait pu autrefois briller de couleurs sous le soleil du désert. Découvert dans des gisements de rivières intérieures isolées au Niger, le fossile réécrit ce que nous pensions savoir sur les dinosaures spinosaures, suggérant qu'ils n'étaient pas des chasseurs entièrement aquatiques mais de puissants échassiers traquant les poissons dans les cours d'eau boisés à des centaines de kilomètres de la mer.

fossile Triceratops tomographie crâne
La tête massive du tricératops faisait peut-être plus que simplement montrer ces fameuses cornes. À l’aide de tomodensitogrammes et de reconstructions 3D de crânes fossiles, les chercheurs ont découvert un système nasal étonnamment complexe caché à l’intérieur de son énorme museau. Au lieu d’être simplement un nez surdimensionné pour sentir, il abritait probablement des réseaux complexes de nerfs et de vaisseaux sanguins, et même des structures spéciales qui aidaient à réguler la chaleur et l’humidité.
