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.

Les raptors, dinosaures à plumes du Crétacé, ne pouvaient pas voler malgré leur lien étroit avec les oiseaux. Une nouvelle étude menée sur un site fossilifère en Chine révèle toutefois que certains d’entre eux auraient été capables de planer et de chasser les premiers oiseaux.

nid fossile insecte
Les scientifiques examinant l’ambre de la collection personnelle de Goethe ont découvert trois insectes fossiles cachés, dont une fourmi éteinte préservée avec des détails extraordinaires. L’imagerie 3D avancée a permis aux chercheurs de voir non seulement les caractéristiques extérieures de la fourmi, mais également les structures à l’intérieur de son corps. Les résultats offrent de nouveaux indices sur la biologie de l’espèce et suggèrent qu’elle a probablement construit de grands nids dans les arbres.

Allosaurus has become a bit of a taxonomic waste basket.  Ce terme concerne le matériel fossile provenant de théropodes attribué au genre.  Cependant, certaines preuves justifiant l'attribution du matériel sont provisoires.  Par exemple, des os de théropodes du sud-est de la Tanzanie (Formation Tendaguru) avaient été attribués à une espèce d'allosaure nommée Allosaurus tendagurensis.  En 1925,
