Eternauta crâne
Jinchuanloong is a relatively basal sauropod that measured an estimated 10 m in length. Sauropod skulls typically don't preserve well in the fossil record, but Jinchuanloong is known mainly from the skull, and parts of the neck and tail. Like all sauropods, Jinchuanloong was a quadrupedal herbivore that used its long neck to reach the vegetation that it fed on.

dent prédateur proie fossile Dinosauria Edmontosaurus Tyrannosaurus découverte crâne
Un crâne fossilisé d'Edmontosaure avec une dent de tyrannosaure encore incrustée dans son visage a fourni aux scientifiques de rares preuves d'une rencontre dramatique entre prédateur et proie. La découverte suggère que le carnivore géant a prononcé une morsure face-à-face incroyablement puissante, offrant de nouveaux indices sur la façon dont le tyrannosaure chassait.

Un crâne presque complet découvert il y a plusieurs décennies en Arizona a donné aux paléontologues leur aperçu le plus clair à ce jour d'Adelphailurus kansensis, une espèce énigmatique de félidés qui habitait l'Amérique du Nord il y a plus de 5 millions d'années et occupait une des premières branches de l'arbre généalogique des chats à dents de sabre. L'article Le premier chat à dents de sabre obtient un nouveau visage après des décennies de mystère est apparu en premier sur Sci.News : Breaking Science News.

Pendant quinze ans, les Denisoviens n'ont eu ni visage ni contour. Juste de l'ADN extrait d'un fragment d'os sibérien grand comme un ongle. En 2025, un crâne exceptionnel découvert en Chine a tout changé. Homo longi, surnommé l'Homme dragon, donne enfin un visage à ce groupe humain fantôme.

Ce poisson préhistorique pourrait expliquer comment les animaux ont marché pour la première fois sur Terre
Antarctique crâne
Les scientifiques ont examiné l'intérieur du crâne d'un poisson de l'Antarctique vieux de 380 millions d'années, étroitement apparenté aux premiers animaux à avoir marché sur terre, révélant des indices surprenants sur la façon dont la vie a commencé à sortir de l'eau. Grâce à l’imagerie neutronique avancée, les chercheurs ont découvert que Koharalepis jarviki possédait des caractéristiques adaptées pour vivre près de la surface de l’eau, notamment des ouvertures dans son crâne qui auraient pu l’aider à avaler de l’air et un organe sensible à la lumière lié aux rythmes jour-nuit.
