The distictive banding of the Morrison Formation, a group of rock layers that occur throughout Dinosaur National Monument.  The formation originated as muds and sands laid down by ancient rivers, and some of its outcrops have been found to contain 150-million-year-old dinosaur fossils like those found at the monument's Dinosaur Quarry.

Nyasasaurus is a basal dinosauromorph that may be the earliest known dinosaur. It was a small bipedal animal at about 2-3 m in length. Nyasasaurus is difficult to classify due to inconclusive fossil evidence, but if it is a true dinosaur, it pushes the dinosaur lineage back about 12 million years to the Middle Triassic.

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.

reproduction Argentine fossile mammifères
Les paléontologues étudiant un fossile de cynodonte d'Argentine vieux de 236 millions d'années affirment avoir trouvé la première preuve de viviparité (naissance vivante) dans la lignée évolutive qui mène aux mammifères, repoussant l'origine de cette stratégie de reproduction de 90 à 95 millions d'années.

Les paléontologues ont nommé une nouvelle espèce de dinosaure théropode du Nouveau-Mexique. Le dinosaure, Dinevenator Robustus, vivait il y a environ 73 millions d'années (stade faunique campanien du Crétacé supérieur). Les chercheurs ont identifié le dinosaure à partir d’un os fossile du crâne (un frontal) trouvé dans le nord-ouest du Nouveau-Mexique. Il représente un nouveau genre et une nouvelle espèce de troodontidé. Troodontidés

Un fossile de reptile vieux de 240 millions d'années révèle un chapitre perdu avant les dinosaures et les crocodiles
prédateur Brésil Trias fossile Dinosauria évolution autres reptiles
Un reptile vieux de 240 millions d'années découvert au Brésil révèle à quoi ressemblait l'évolution juste avant l'avènement des dinosaures et des crocodiles. Le petit prédateur avait des pattes inhabituellement positionnées qui lui permettaient peut-être de se déplacer plus efficacement que de nombreux reptiles antérieurs. Ses proches parents étaient auparavant connus principalement sur d’autres continents, ce qui suggère que ces animaux anciens se sont répandus beaucoup plus loin dans le monde du Trias que les scientifiques ne le pensaient.
