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.

Un fossile du début du Miocène réécrit l’arbre généalogique des petits marsupiaux carnivores
Australie Miocène fossile nouvelle espèce
Des paléontologues de l'Université de Nouvelle-Galles du Sud ont décrit un nouveau genre et une nouvelle espèce de marsupial dasyurid du Miocène inférieur d'Australie, offrant ainsi la première preuve solide que la famille des Dasyuridae - qui comprend aujourd'hui les quolls, les diables de Tasmanie et les minuscules antéchines - existait bien avant que les scientifiques n'en aient la preuve dans les archives fossiles. L'article Un fossile du début du Miocène réécrit l'arbre généalogique des petits marsupiaux carnivores apparaît en premier sur Sci.News : Breaking Science News.

Égypte fossile origine humaine
Un singe fossile récemment identifié dans le nord de l’Égypte remodèle les idées sur l’endroit où les ancêtres des singes modernes ont émergé pour la première fois. Les analyses le placent plus près des singes vivants que n’importe quelle espèce connue d’Afrique de l’Est du même âge, désignant l’Afrique du Nord et le Moyen-Orient comme lieu de naissance possible et carrefour de la lignée des singes qui a finalement produit des gibbons, des orangs-outans, des gorilles, des chimpanzés et des humains.

Une nouvelle espèce de salamandre géante découverte dans des fossiles vieux de 3,5 millions d'années
Japon fossile découverte nouvelle espèce
Les fossiles découverts au Japon il y a plus de deux décennies ont finalement été identifiés comme un nouveau genre et une nouvelle espèce de salamandre géante. Limnospondylus ajimuensis vivait il y a environ 3,5 millions d'années dans une région de Kyushu plus chaude et plus humide et aurait pu atteindre 1,1 mètre de long. Sa découverte laisse entendre que de nombreuses autres salamandres géantes inconnues pourraient se cacher parmi des fossiles précédemment mal classés.

Les paléontologues ont mis au jour un serpent fossile remarquablement préservé au Brésil qui remodèle les idées sur la façon dont vivaient les premiers serpents et complique le débat de longue date sur la question de savoir si leurs ancêtres ont creusé sous terre, nagé dans la mer ou rampé à la surface.

Trias fossile extinction
Les anciennes savanes de fougères ont peut-être transformé certaines parties de l’Europe en un enfer sujet aux incendies de forêt lors de l’extinction massive de la fin du Trias. De nouvelles preuves fossiles suggèrent que les fougères ont repoussé à plusieurs reprises après les incendies, créant ainsi un nouveau combustible qui a contribué à prolonger la dévastation.
