A restoration of Rinconsaurus compared to a human ,

•  Based proportionally on fossil elements and skeletal reconstruction featured in the Rinconsaurus description,[1] with missing parts based on other titanosaur reconstructions. The remains of Rinconsaurus represent two adults and a juvenile all of which are incomplete; some of the proportions shown here, such as the neck, limb lengths, and skull shape are not certain.
•  Osteroderms are not yet known in Rinconsaurus.  The osteoderms shown here are based loosely on Mendozasaurus.[2] Osteoderms are known from at least 10 titanosaur genera spread across the family tree but it's not clear if all titanosaurs had them.[3] Titanosaur osteoderms are rare and their layout and position on the body are not certain. [4]
•  The colours and patterns, as with the majority of reconstructions of prehistoric creatures, are speculative.
•  Human silhouette approximately 180 cm tall.

fossile Dacentrurus Dinosauria Stegosauria découverte évolution crâne
Une découverte spectaculaire de dinosaures en Espagne donne aux scientifiques un nouveau regard rare sur le monde des stégosaures. Les paléontologues ont découvert le crâne de stégosaure le mieux conservé jamais découvert en Europe, appartenant à l'emblématique dinosaure plaqué Dacentrurus armatus, qui parcourait la Terre il y a environ 150 millions d'années. Parce que les crânes de stégosaures sont extrêmement fragiles et ne survivent presque jamais intacts, le fossile aide les chercheurs à découvrir des détails jusqu'alors inconnus sur l'évolution de ces géants blindés.
