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 Édiacarien fossile datation évolution
Les fossiles de certains des animaux les plus anciens connus sur Terre, datant d'il y a 574 millions d'années (période Édiacarienne), suggèrent que le clonage, et non la compétition, a dominé les mers de l'Édiacarien, ralentissant l'évolution jusqu'à ce que le stress environnemental contribue à l'essor de la reproduction sexuée et à un éclatement de la biodiversité. L’article Les premiers animaux de la Terre ont peut-être prospéré trop facilement pour évoluer est apparu en premier sur Sci.News : Breaking Science News.
