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.

Des dents vieilles de 2 millions d'années révèlent les secrets de l'aube de l'humanité
mâchoire dent protéine fossile génétique
Pendant des décennies, Paranthropus Robustus a intrigué les scientifiques en tant que cousin puissant et à grande mâchoire des premiers humains. Aujourd’hui, grâce à d’anciennes analyses de protéines, les chercheurs ont découvert de nouveaux secrets cachés dans l’émail dentaire vieux de 2 millions d’années. Ces protéines ont révélé à la fois le sexe et des différences génétiques subtiles entre les fossiles, suggérant que Paranthropus n'était peut-être pas une seule espèce mais un mélange évolutif plus complexe.

migration Indonésie fossile découverte évolution
Une découverte révolutionnaire sur l'île indonésienne de Sulawesi révèle que les premiers hominidés ont traversé des mers dangereuses il y a plus d'un million d'années, laissant derrière eux des outils en pierre qui remodèlent notre compréhension des migrations anciennes. Ces découvertes, plus anciennes que les preuves précédentes dans la région, mettent en évidence Sulawesi comme une pièce essentielle du puzzle de l’évolution humaine. Pourtant, l’absence de fossiles maintient l’identité de ces fabricants d’outils entourée de mystère, suscitant de nouvelles questions quant à savoir s’ils étaient des Homo avant.

dent Éthiopie fossile spécimen découverte évolution
Les fossiles découverts en Éthiopie remodèlent notre vision de l’évolution humaine. Au lieu d’une marche directe depuis des ancêtres ressemblant à des singes jusqu’aux humains modernes, les chercheurs voient désormais un arbre enchevêtré et ramifié avec plusieurs espèces coexistant. Des dents récemment découvertes révèlent une espèce d'australopithèque jusqu'alors inconnue qui vivait aux côtés de certains des premiers spécimens d'Homo il y a près de 2,8 millions d'années. Cela suggère que la nature a testé plusieurs versions de « l’être humain » avant que notre lignée ne perdure.

Dans les déserts d’Éthiopie, des scientifiques ont découvert des fossiles montrant que les premiers membres de notre genre Homo vivaient côte à côte avec une espèce d’australopithèque nouvellement identifiée il y a près de trois millions d’années. Ces découvertes remettent en question la vieille idée d’une échelle évolutive droite, révélant à la place un réseau enchevêtré d’anciens parents.
