Vitosaura is an abelisaurid theropod dinosaur that lived in what is now Argentina. It was a medium sized bipedal carnivore reaching around 6 m in total body length. Though only known from the pelvic girdle, Vitosaura likely had a blunt rugose snout, and extremely short arms, as these are typical traits of abelisaurs.

Comptonatus is an iguanodontid ornithopod dinosaur that lived about 125 million years ago, in the Early Cretaceous of what is now Europe. It was a medium sized herbivore at about 7 m in length, and weighed around 1 t in body mass. Fossilized footprints found near the original specimen indicate that Comptonatus was likely a herding animal. Comparisons between Comptonatus and other iguanodontids that lived around the same time and region show a high rate of diversity. This indicates there may have been pressure for speedy evolutionary adaptation in the region, or perhaps a high volume of migration.

Dinosaur National Monument is a United States National Monument located on the southeast flank of the Uinta Mountains on the border between Colorado and Utah at the confluence of the Green and Yampa Rivers. Although most of the monument area is in Moffat County, Colorado, the Dinosaur Quarry is located in Utah just to the north of the town of Jensen, Utah.
The nearest communities are Jensen, Utah, and Dinosaur, Colorado. The park contains over 800 paleontological sites and has fossils of dinosaurs including Allosaurus, Deinonychus, Abydosaurus (a nearly complete skull, lower jaws and first four neck vertebrae of the specimen DINO 16488 found here at the base of the Mussentuchit Member of the Cedar Mountain Formation is the holotype for the description) and various long-neck, long-tail sauropods. It was declared a National Monument on October 4, 1915.
The rock layer enclosing the fossils is a sandstone and conglomerate bed of alluvial or river bed origin known as the Morrison Formation from the Jurassic Period some 150 million years old. The dinosaurs and other ancient animals were carried by the river system which eventually entombed their remains in Utah.
The pile of sediments were later buried and lithified into solid rock. The layers of rock were later uplifted and tilted to their present angle by the mountain building forces that formed the Uintas during the Laramide orogeny. The relentless forces of erosion exposed the layers at the surface to be found by paleontologists.
The dinosaur fossil beds (bone beds) were discovered in 1909 by Earl Douglass, a paleontologist working and collecting for the Carnegie Museum of Natural History. He and his crews excavated thousands of fossils and shipped them back to the museum in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania for study and display. President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed the dinosaur beds as Dinosaur National Monument in 1915. The monument boundaries were expanded in 1938 from the original 80-acre (320,000 m2) tract surrounding the dinosaur quarry in Utah, to its present extent of over 200,000 acres (800 km²) in Utah and Colorado, encompassing the spectacular river canyons of the Green and Yampa.
Though lesser-known than the fossil beds, the petroglyphs in Dinosaur National Monument are another treasure the monument holds. Due to problems with vandals, many of the sites are not listed on area maps.
The "Wall of Bones" located within the Dinosaur Quarry building in the park consists of a steeply tilted (67° from horizontal) rock layer which contains hundreds of dinosaur fossils. The enclosing rock has been chipped away to reveal the fossil bones intact for public viewing. In July 2006, the Quarry Visitor Center was closed due to structural problems that since 1957 had plagued the building because it was built on unstable clay. The decision was made to build a new facility elsewhere in the monument to house the visitor center and administrative functions, making it easier to resolve the structural problems of the quarry building while still retaining a portion of the historic Mission 66 era exhibit hall. It was announced in April 2009 that Dinosaur National Monument would receive $13.1 million to refurbish and reopen the gallery as part of the Obama administration's $750 billion stimulus plan. The Park Service successfully rebuilt the Quarry Exhibit Hall, supporting its weight on 70-foot steel micropile columns that extend to the bedrock below the unstable clay. The Dinosaur Quarry was reopened in Fall 2011.

Sidersaura is a rebbachisaurid sauropod dinosaur from the Late Cretaceous of Argentina. Rebbachisaurids are the last known dipldocoids, and lived alongside the titanosaurs until fairly late in the Cretaceous before disappearing from the fossil record, presumably going extinct. They have long tails and relatively short necks, by sauropod standards. Sidersaura one of the most recent rebbachisaurids yet found, living in the Cenomanian–Turonian ages of the Late Cretaceous. It was large for a rebbachisaurid, growing to about 20 m in length.

Dinosauria Ibirania
(A) A phylogenetic principal-component analysis (PCA) represents the projection of the Dinosauria supertree (STAR Methods) into a PCA of climatic variables. PC1 axis shows strong positive correlation with maximum temperature ([temp max), low positive correlation with precipitation seasonality ( precip season), strong negative correlation with minimum temperature (Ytemp min), and strong negative correlation with minimum precipitation (Yprecip min). PC2 axis shows strong positive correlation with minimum temperature ([temp min) and negative correlation with precipitation seasonality (Yprecip season). Shadows around points highlight the relative density in the principal compo- nent space of non-dinosaurian Dinosauromorpha (gray), Ornithischia (blue), Sauropodomorpha (green), and Theropoda (red).
(B) Lower left plot shows 95% confidence interval convex hulls for each dinosauromorph subclade. Blue thermometer (top left corner) symbolizes the direction of the vector in the PC space region for cold temper- atures; yellow thermometer (top right corner) indicates the direction of the vector in PC space for warm tem- peratures; brown shrub (top right corner) depicts dry conditions, while the same with a gray, rainy cloud (mid, lower side of the graph) illustrates seasonal conditions.

Parasaurolophus: Beast of the Week
Parasaurolophus : Bête de la semaine
crête Crétacé Crétacé supérieur spécimen Canardia Dinosauria Parasaurolophus
Cette semaine, nous allons nous intéresser à un dinosaure à bec de canard très populaire.  Dites bonjour à Parasaurolophus !  Le parasaurolophus était un herbivore qui vivait dans ce qui est aujourd'hui l'Amérique du Nord à la fin du Crétacé, il y a environ 77 à 73 millions d'années.  Le parasaurolophus mesurait environ 9,1 mètres de long du bec à la queue, mais certains spécimens incomplets montrent qu'ils étaient un peu plus grands.  Parasaurolophus est surtout connu pour sa longue crête incurvée qui s'est développée à l'arrière de sa tête, givi

Des scientifiques ont découvert une horloge cachée dans des coquilles d'œufs de dinosaures
fossile Dinosauria
Les chercheurs ont découvert que les coquilles d’œufs fossilisées de dinosaures contiennent une horloge naturelle qui peut révéler l’époque où vivaient les dinosaures. La technique fournit des âges étonnamment précis et pourrait révolutionner la façon dont les sites fossilifères du monde entier sont datés.

Des monstres marins géants vivaient dans les rivières à la fin de l'ère des dinosaures
dent alimentation prédateur Dinosauria Mosasaurus isotope
Les mosasaures géants, autrefois considérés comme des prédateurs strictement océaniques, ont peut-être passé leur dernier chapitre à rôder dans les rivières d'eau douce aux côtés de dinosaures et de crocodiles. Une dent massive trouvée dans le Dakota du Nord, analysée à l'aide de techniques isotopiques chimiques, révèle que certains mosasaures se sont adaptés aux systèmes fluviaux à mesure que les mers se rafraîchissaient progressivement vers la fin de l'ère des dinosaures. Ces énormes reptiles, peut-être aussi longs qu'un bus, semblent avoir chassé près de la surface, se nourrissant peut-être même de dinosaures noyés.

Une momie de dinosaure retrouvée avec des sabots et une crête cachée
crête écaille film Dinosauria Edmontosaurus
Les scientifiques ont reconstitué le profil le plus complet et le plus réaliste d’Edmontosaurus annectens grâce à un processus de préservation extraordinaire appelé modèle d’argile, dans lequel un mince film d’argile a capturé la peau, les écailles, les pointes et même les sabots du dinosaure en trois dimensions. En combinant des «momies» récemment fouillées, une imagerie avancée et une reconstruction artistique, les chercheurs ont révélé une haute crête, une seule rangée de pointes de queue, de délicates écailles ressemblant à des cailloux et, ce qui est le plus remarquable, le plus ancien sabot connu.
