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.

fossile Geosternbergia Pteranodon Pterosauria taxonomie
 Cette semaine, nous regardons un célèbre ptérosaure.  Découvrez Geosternbergia sterngergi !  Je vais commencer cet article en soulignant que Geosternbergia est considérée comme simplement une espèce distincte au sein du genre Pteranodon, par de nombreux experts, ce qui donnerait son nom Pteranodon sternbergi.  Ceci étant dit, puisque j'ai déjà fait un article sur Pteranodon longiceps, je choisis d'appeler ce ptérosaure Geosternbergia.  (la taxonomie est compliquée et également sujette à changement, notamment avec les fossiles)
