Skeletal composite of the chilean titanosaur Atacamatitan chilensis. A fragmented sauropod known from the holotype SGO-PV-961, found in the Atacama Desert. The preserved elements consist of:[1]
Right femur, the proximal end of a humerus, two dorsal vertebrae, posterior caudal vertebrae, dorsal ribs and a possibly fragmentary element of the sternum, other fragmented caudal vertebrae and indeterminate bones.[1]
Due to the fragmented nature of the holotype, most cladistic analyzes exclude Atacamatitan. Nevertheless, in 2012, Rubilar-Rogers and Gutstein conducted a preliminary cladistic analysis which placed Atacamatitan within the Lithostrotia.[2]
The original description lacks a lateral view for the humerus and femur, the lateral view for the humerus was based on Alamosaurus and Opisthocoelicaudia, since it shows resemblance with them. The lateral view of the femur is based on Mendozasaurus for the same reason.

os prédateur Allemagne Portugal États-Unis Jurassique Jurassique supérieur Dinosauria Torvosaurus
Aujourd'hui, nous allons nous intéresser à un énorme dinosaure prédateur du Jurassique, Torvosaurus tanneri !  Torvosaurus vivait il y a environ 150 millions d’années à la fin du Jurassique. Ses ossements ont été découverts dans le Colorado, aux États-Unis, au Portugal et peut-être en Allemagne (l'Europe et l'Amérique du Nord n'étaient pas aussi éloignées à l'époque, rappelez-vous, donc beaucoup de dinosaures présents sur chacun d'eux partageaient des ancêtres récents).  Du nez à la queue, il mesurait jusqu'à 36 pieds (environ 11 m) et aurait été parmi les plus grands,

De nouvelles preuves provenant de charniers néolithiques dans le nord-est de la France suggèrent que certaines des premières confrontations violentes en Europe n’étaient pas des actes de brutalité aléatoires, mais des démonstrations de pouvoir soigneusement mises en scène. En analysant des indices chimiques contenus dans des os et des dents anciennes, les chercheurs ont découvert que de nombreuses victimes étaient des étrangers qui avaient subi une violence extrême et ritualisée après le conflit. Les armes coupées semblent avoir été prises sur des ennemis locaux tués au combat, tandis que des captifs venus de plus loin ont été exécutés dans un gri

os dent métabolisme Dinosauria Foskeia anatomie oiseau évolution mammifères étude crâne
Un petit dinosaure nouvellement identifié, Foskeia pelendonum, bouleverse les idées reçues de longue date sur l'évolution des dinosaures herbivores. Même si les adultes adultes étaient remarquablement petits et légers, leur anatomie était tout sauf simple : elles présentaient un crâne bizarre et hautement spécialisé et des traits évolutifs inattendus. Des études osseuses détaillées montrent que ces dinosaures ont mûri rapidement avec un métabolisme semblable à celui des oiseaux ou des mammifères, tandis que leurs dents et leur posture suggèrent une vie rapide et agile dans des forêts denses.

Un fossile vieux de 250 millions d'années révèle les origines de l'audition des mammifères
os mâchoire fossile mammifères crâne
L’audition sensible pourrait avoir évolué chez les ancêtres des mammifères bien plus tôt que ne le croyaient les scientifiques. En modélisant la façon dont le son se déplaçait dans le crâne de Thrinaxodon, un prédécesseur mammifère vieux de 250 millions d'années, les chercheurs ont découvert qu'il utilisait probablement un tympan précoce pour entendre les sons aériens. Cela remet en question l’idée répandue selon laquelle ces animaux « écoutaient » principalement à travers leurs mâchoires ou leurs os. Les résultats révèlent qu’une caractéristique clé de l’audition des mammifères modernes prenait déjà forme au plus profond de la préhistoire.

Les chercheurs ont découvert des milliers de molécules métaboliques préservées à l’intérieur d’os fossilisés vieux de plusieurs millions d’années, offrant ainsi une nouvelle fenêtre surprenante sur la vie préhistorique. Les résultats révèlent le régime alimentaire des animaux, leurs maladies et même le climat qui les entoure, y compris des preuves d’environnements plus chauds et plus humides. Un fossile présentait même des signes d'un parasite encore connu aujourd'hui. Cette approche pourrait transformer la façon dont les scientifiques reconstruisent les écosystèmes anciens.
