The nodosaurid dinosaur, Glyptodontopelta is mostly known from isolated osteoderms ("armor plates"). The specimen SMP VP-1580 (State Museum of Pennysylvania) is however, the most complete known specimen, comprising parts of the skull, hundreds of osteoderms and fragments. This specimen was discovered in 2003 by Warwick Fowler, in the Naashoibito Member of the Ojo Alamo Formation (Maatrichtian, Late Cretaceous) of the San Juan Basin, New Mexico, during an expedition led by Dr. Robert Sullivan.

Magnoavipes sp. - dinosaur track from the Cretaceous of Colorado, USA. (replica; public display, Red Rocks Amphitheater visitor center, west of Denver, Colorado, USA)
Dinosaur Ridge, Colorado has numerous dinosaur fossils, including bones and tracks.  The most common track type at the site is Caririchnium leonardii, which was made by an iguanodontid dinosaur.  A less common track is this - a slender, three-toed print called Magnoavipes, which was made by a theropod dinosaur.
Stratigraphy: Dakota Sandstone, upper Lower Cretaceous

Provenance: eastern side of Dinosaur Ridge, Dakota Hogback, west of Denver, north-central Colorado, USA

bassin Denver Crétacé Dinosauria extinction
En étudiant les microfossiles fongiques dans des échantillons de roches vieilles de 66 millions d'années du bassin de Denver, au Colorado, les microbiologistes de l'Université Johns Hopkins ont confirmé que l'impact de l'astéroïde tueur de dinosaures a déclenché une invasion fongique mondiale et a découvert une deuxième crise écologique, jusqu'alors inconnue, juste avant elle. L'article Les champignons ont fleuri deux fois autour de l'extinction massive de la fin du Crétacé est apparu en premier sur Sci.News : Breaking Science News.
