A color-coded skull diagram of Palatodonta bleekeri, mostly based on a diagram published by Neenan et al. (2013). Some interpretations (such as the presence of a quadratojugal) are based on Maisch (2020). Depicted in left lateral view, mirrored from the original specimen as preserved in right lateral view. Dotted lines indicate missing bone.

Le professeur Paul Barrett du Natural History Museum de Londres a récemment écrit A History of Dinosaurs in 50 Fossils. Nous en avons profité pour avoir un aperçu de ce que nous savons réellement sur les dinosaures et comment il est même possible de raconter leur histoire avec seulement 50 spécimens. Dans cet épisode, Paul discute de l'histoire [&hellip

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.

 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.
