Sarcosaurus diagram of known material: reconstruction based on basal Ceratosaurs (such as Berberosaurus and Saltriovenator). The Skull was made to look more generic and less like more derived Ceratosaurs such as Ceratosaurus. "Liassaurus", referred to "cf. Sarcosaurus woodi" and is smaller than the holotype: material in light grey is preserved, but to what extent is uncertain as it is not figured.

About Isisaurus–

Isisaurus colberti (=Titanosaurus colberti) was a species of Titanosaurian Sauropod Dinosaur from the Late Cretaceous (Maastrichtian) age in the Indian Subcontinent. Isisaurus lived sympatrically with another Titanosaurian Sauropod Jainosaurus. It also lived alongside Theropods like Rajasaurus, Rahiolisaurus, Indosuchus etc. Remains of Isisaurus come from the Lameta formation of Central India.

Megapnosaurus is a coelophysid theropod dinosaur from the Early Jurassic Period of Africa. It was a lightly built bipedal carnivore that grew to just over 2 m long and 13 kg in body mass. Its close relation to Coelophysis has caused some confusion in classifying the genus - it had a slender build and curved S-shaped neck, but was more robust. Comparisons between the scleral rings of Megapnosaurus and modern birds and reptiles indicate that it may have been nocturnal.

Nanotyrannus: Beast of the Week
Nanotyrannus : Bête de la semaine
États-Unis Crétacé Dinosauria Nanotyrannus
 Cette semaine, nous allons découvrir un dinosaure dont l'identité a fait l'objet de nombreux débats pendant des décennies.  Découvrez Nanotyrannus ! Nanotyrannus était un dinosaure carnivore qui vivait dans ce qui est aujourd'hui le Montana aux États-Unis au cours de la dernière période du Crétacé, il y a entre 67 et 66 millions d'années.  Du museau à la queue, il mesurait entre 17 et 20 pieds (6,2 mètres) de long à l’état adulte. Le nom du genre se traduit par « petit tyran nain » car on pensait à l'origine qu'il s'agissait d'un proche parent.

 Cette semaine, nous allons découvrir un étonnant dinosaure blindé au nom délicieusement effrayant.  Découvrez le crurivastateur Zuul !  Zuul était un dinosaure ankylosaure qui vivait dans ce qui est aujourd'hui le Montana, aux États-Unis, à la fin du Crétacé, il y a environ 75 millions d'années.  Il mesurait environ 6 mètres du bec à la queue et aurait mangé des plantes de son vivant.  Le nom du genre fait directement référence au monstre du film Ghostbusters de 1984, qui, selon les paléontologues, ressemblait au dinosaure.

migration prédateur Dinosauria Khankhuuluu Tyrannosaurus découverte nouvelle espèce
Les scientifiques ont dévoilé Khankhuuluu, une nouvelle espèce de dinosaure mongol qui est antérieure et ressemble beaucoup aux premiers tyrannosaures. Avec son long museau, ses petites cornes et sa silhouette élancée, il représente une forme de transition entre les prédateurs rapides de taille moyenne et les chasseurs géants comme le T. rex. La découverte suggère également que les grands tyrannosaures ont évolué pour la première fois en Amérique du Nord à la suite d'une ancienne migration en provenance d'Asie.

Pentaceratops était un dinosaure herbivore qui mesurait environ vingt pieds de long du bec à la queue. En tant que cératopsien (cornes, becs et volants), il faisait partie du groupe des chasmosaurines et était étroitement apparenté au Chasmosaurus et au Coahuilaceratops pour n'en nommer que quelques-uns.  Il vivait dans ce qui est aujourd’hui le Nouveau-Mexique, aux États-Unis, à la fin du Crétacé, il y a entre 76 et 73 millions d’années.  Le nom du genre,
