Achelousaurus horneri skull, collected in Glacier County, Montana, at the Museum of the Rockies in Bozeman, Montana.
The Ceratopsidae are those dinosaurs with head frills.  There are three large subgroups of Ceratopsidae: Centrosaurinae, Ceratopsinae, and Chasmosaurinae. The Triceratopsini are a "tribe" of the Chasmosaurinae -- a genus so vast that it gets the special name "tribe".  The Pachyrhinosaurini are a "tribe" within the Centrosaurinae.

Achelousaurus is a genus within the Pachyrhinosaurini.  So far, only three skulls and some limited skeletal remains have been collected anywhere in the world -- and all of them in Montana.  Their bony frills are quite similar to the Styracosaurus albertensis, although their other skull features (such as big bony bosses on the nose and behind the eyes) are not.

Reconstructed skull of Jaxartosaurus aralensis Riabinin, 1937. Only a posterior portion of the skull, as well as a surangular is known, with the rest of the skull being based mostly upon File:Aralosaurus skull.png. Jaxartosaurus is currently classified as a basal lambeosaurine, more derived than Aralosaurini, but more primitive than Parasaurolophini and Lambeosaurini. It might be more derived than Tsintaosaurini (Godefroit et al., 2004). References:

mâchoire Brésil Trias fossile Dinosauria nouvelle espèce partiel crâne
Des paléontologues du Brésil ont identifié un nouveau genre et une nouvelle espèce de rhynchosaure hyperodapédontique – une lignée éteinte de reptiles herbivores à bec – sur la base d'un crâne partiel et de mâchoires inférieures récupérés dans des roches du Trias. L'article Un nouveau fossile du Brésil révèle une diversité inattendue parmi les herbivores pré-dinosaures est apparu en premier sur Sci.News : Breaking Science News.

De superbes traces de dinosaures vieilles de 132 millions d’années réécrivent l’histoire
fossile empreintes Dinosauria découverte
Un mystère de longue date dans les archives fossiles de l’Afrique australe commence à être résolu. Après que des coulées de lave massives, il y a 182 millions d'années, aient semblé effacer les traces de dinosaures dans la région, les scientifiques ont maintenant découvert de nouveaux indices surprenants le long de la côte du Cap occidental. Des dizaines de traces de dinosaures, vieilles d'environ 132 millions d'années, ont été découvertes dans une petite étendue rocheuse près de Knysna, ce qui en fait les plus jeunes jamais découvertes en Afrique australe.

Un étrange parent d'un crocodile de l'époque des dinosaures réécrit ce que les scientifiques pensaient savoir sur les anciens reptiles. Cette créature de la taille d'un caniche, appelée Sonselasuchus cedrus, semble avoir commencé sa vie en marchant à quatre pattes avant de passer à une position sur deux pattes à mesure qu'elle grandissait - une transformation inhabituelle rarement observée dans les archives fossiles.

armure os croissance fossile Ankylosauria Dinosauria découverte
De minuscules fossiles de dinosaures qui ont intrigué les scientifiques pendant plus de 20 ans ont enfin révélé leur véritable identité. Plutôt que d’appartenir à une espèce miniature, ce sont en réalité des bébés ankylosaures, certains âgés de moins d’un an, y compris un possible nouveau-né. En étudiant les schémas de croissance osseuse, les chercheurs ont confirmé que ces jeunes dinosaures n’étaient pas encore devenus des adultes de grande taille. La découverte apporte un nouvel éclairage sur la façon dont les ankylosaures se sont développés, montrant qu'ils ont commencé à développer une armure étonnamment tôt.

 Cette semaine, nous allons découvrir un grand dinosaure tank.  Entrez Peloroplites cedrimontanus ! Le Peloroplites était un dinosaure herbivore qui vivait dans ce qui est aujourd'hui l'Utah, aux États-Unis, pendant la période du Crétacé, il y a entre 98 et 93 millions d'années.  Du museau à la queue, il mesurait environ 6 m de long.  Son nom de genre se traduit par « Hoplite géant » en référence aux hoplites, les anciens soldats grecs qui portaient des lances et de grands boucliers.  Le nom de l'espèce se traduit par « Cedar Mountain ».
