Mounted replica of a composite skeleton of Edmontosaurus annectens on display at the University of Oxford Museum, Oxford, England. The original skeleton is compiled from disarticulated fossil bones from a bonebed of the Hell Creek Formation, exposed in the Ruth Mason Quarry in Harding County, South Dakota. It is 8.5 m (28 ft.) long and the skull is almost 1 m (39 in.) in length.[1][2]

Les fossiles remarquables d'Eoceras shaanxiense réécrivent l'évolution des céphalopodes
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.

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. Le fossile spectaculaire provient de la Formation de Toolebuc du Crétacé inférieur

Les fossiles de la formation Jose Creek au Nouveau-Mexique révèlent que les angiospermes (plantes à fleurs) avaient construit des forêts denses et fruitières il y a près de 75 millions d'années - près de 9 millions d'années avant l'extinction massive de la fin du Crétacé qui a tué les dinosaures - remettant en question un récit évolutif de longue date sur la façon dont ils sont parvenus à dominer la planète.
