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.

prédateur fossile Mosasaurus étude
Il régnait sur les mers il y a 80 millions d’années, mesurait plus de 13 mètres de long et semblait bien plus violent que les autres prédateurs marins de son époque. Une nouvelle étude vient de révéler l’existence d’un gigantesque mosasaure jusque-là mal identifié, dont les fossiles racontent...

Des paléontologues canadiens affirment avoir découvert une vertèbre caudale de dinosaure dans des roches marines vieilles de 75 à 80 millions d'années sur une petite île au large de la Colombie-Britannique, fournissant ainsi la preuve la plus claire à ce jour que des ornithomimosaures ressemblant à des oiseaux parcouraient autrefois l'ancienne côte du Pacifique de l'Amérique du Nord. L'article Un fossile rare de dinosaure ressemblant à une autruche trouvé sur une île canadienne est apparu en premier sur Sci.News : Breaking Science News.

prédateur fossile Mosasaurus Tylosaurus découverte évolution
Un nouveau prédateur marin colossal nommé Tylosaurus rex a été identifié à partir de fossiles trouvés au Texas, révélant un chasseur brutal de 43 pieds de long qui régnait sur les océans anciens il y a 80 millions d'années. Cette découverte présente non seulement l'un des plus grands mosasaures jamais connus, mais bouleverse également les idées de longue date sur l'évolution de ces reptiles marins.
