Reconstruction of Tuebingosaurus maierfritzorum gen. et sp. nov. as a quadruped dinosaur, using the outline of Riojasaurus as a base ‒ next to the silhouette of Friedrich von Huene. The drawing of the bones is based on and modified from the original illustrations of specimen “GPIT IV” in von Huene (1932, pl. 38) that have been replicated in the literature. The right fibula is marked in grey as it was found nearby with similar measurements to the left fibula and has been assumed to be part of the same individual.

Cette petite griffe dans un fossile vieux de 500 millions d'années vient de réécrire l'origine des araignées
griffe Cambrien fossile spécimen
Ce qui a commencé comme un nettoyage de routine des fossiles s'est transformé en une surprise scientifique majeure lorsque des chercheurs ont découvert une petite griffe dans un spécimen vieux de 500 millions d'années, là où aucune griffe ne devrait exister. Ce détail a révélé Megachelicerax cousteaui, le plus ancien parent connu des araignées, repoussant les origines de ce groupe de 20 millions d'années. Le fossile montre que les principales caractéristiques des araignées et des limules modernes étaient déjà apparues lors de l'explosion cambrienne.

Chine Crétacé Crétacé inférieur juvénile spécimen Dinosauria Haolong
 Cette semaine, nous allons découvrir un dinosaure nouvellement décrit qui est si unique qu'il change complètement ce que nous pensions savoir sur la peau des dinosaures !  Entrez Haolong Dongi ! Haolong était un dinosaure herbivore qui vivait dans ce qui est aujourd'hui le Liaoning, en Chine, au début du Crétacé, il y a environ 112,5 millions d'années.  Le seul spécimen enregistré mesure environ 8 pieds (2,45 m) du bec à la queue, mais il était juvénile lorsqu'il est mort, l'espèce a donc probablement grandi.  Le nom du genre se traduit du chinois par "S

os croissance prédateur spécimen Tyrannosaurus étude
Le Tyrannosaurus rex a peut-être mis beaucoup plus de temps à grandir que les scientifiques ne le pensaient autrefois. En analysant les anneaux de croissance des os fossilisés des pattes de 17 spécimens de tyrannosaures et en utilisant de nouvelles méthodes statistiques, les chercheurs ont découvert que le célèbre prédateur avait probablement mis environ 40 ans pour atteindre sa taille maximale, soit environ huit tonnes, au lieu des 25 ans précédemment estimés.

Cet os rare résout enfin le mystère du Nanotyrannus
os croissance musée fossile spécimen Nanotyrannus Tyrannosaurus découverte
Les scientifiques ont confirmé que Nanotyrannus était une espèce mature et non un jeune T. rex. Un examen microscopique de son os hyoïde a fourni la preuve clé, correspondant aux signaux de croissance observés dans les spécimens connus de T. rex. Cette découverte suggère un écosystème de tyrannosaures plus riche et plus compétitif qu’on ne le pensait auparavant. Il montre également comment les fossiles de musée et les analyses de pointe peuvent réécrire l’histoire préhistorique.
