A restoration of Rinconsaurus compared to a human ,

•  Based proportionally on fossil elements and skeletal reconstruction featured in the Rinconsaurus description,[1] with missing parts based on other titanosaur reconstructions. The remains of Rinconsaurus represent two adults and a juvenile all of which are incomplete; some of the proportions shown here, such as the neck, limb lengths, and skull shape are not certain.
•  Osteroderms are not yet known in Rinconsaurus.  The osteoderms shown here are based loosely on Mendozasaurus.[2] Osteoderms are known from at least 10 titanosaur genera spread across the family tree but it's not clear if all titanosaurs had them.[3] Titanosaur osteoderms are rare and their layout and position on the body are not certain. [4]
•  The colours and patterns, as with the majority of reconstructions of prehistoric creatures, are speculative.
•  Human silhouette approximately 180 cm tall.

NOTE: I often update my images. If you want to have any of my images on a website, please (if possible) don’t host/save it to the website server. I’d prefer it if the image's Wikimedia URL is used. This means that if I update an image, it will be updated on the site as well.  Thanks.

De minuscules fossiles vieux de 1,7 milliard d’années pourraient révéler l’origine complexe de la vie
fossile
Les scientifiques recherchent dans certaines des roches les plus anciennes de la Terre de minuscules fossiles qui pourraient révéler comment une vie microbienne simple a fait un bond extraordinaire vers les plantes, les animaux et d’autres organismes complexes. Résoudre cet ancien mystère pourrait également aider à déterminer si une vie complexe pourrait émerger sur des mondes au-delà de la Terre.

os Pléistocène fossile découverte nouvelle espèce
Les scientifiques ont découvert une nouvelle espèce d’amphibien éteinte cachée dans les collections de fossiles de La Brea Tar Pits à Los Angeles. Nommé Spea labreae, le crapaud de la période glaciaire est une découverte exceptionnellement rare : un seul autre amphibien éteint du Pléistocène a jamais été identifié en Amérique du Nord. Ses ossements étaient conservés dans des collections depuis les années 1950 avant qu'un chercheur ne remarque des caractéristiques qui le distinguaient des espèces connues.

os mâchoire Crétacé fossile Mosasaurus nouvelle espèce crâne
Des fossiles collectés à Osaka il y a plus de 30 ans ont révélé une surprise cachée à la vue de tous : quatre os jusqu'alors méconnus provenant d'un mosasaure géant du Crétacé. Parmi eux se trouve le premier prémaxillaire confirmé – l’os le plus en avant de la mâchoire supérieure – jamais identifié dans un fossile de mosasaure japonais. Plus intrigant encore, certaines parties du crâne présentent des caractéristiques anatomiques inhabituelles qui ne correspondent pas aux mosasaures connus, ce qui laisse penser que les restes appartiennent à une espèce entièrement nouvelle.

os collagène protéine fossile Dinosauria découverte évolution
Les chercheurs ont trouvé des preuves solides que le collagène original peut survivre à l’intérieur des fossiles de dinosaures pendant des dizaines de millions d’années, renversant ainsi une hypothèse de longue date concernant la fossilisation. Cette découverte pourrait révéler des indices moléculaires cachés sur la biologie des dinosaures, leur évolution et la façon dont d’anciennes protéines ont réussi à survivre aussi longtemps.

reproduction Argentine fossile mammifères
Les paléontologues étudiant un fossile de cynodonte d'Argentine vieux de 236 millions d'années affirment avoir trouvé la première preuve de viviparité (naissance vivante) dans la lignée évolutive qui mène aux mammifères, repoussant l'origine de cette stratégie de reproduction de 90 à 95 millions d'années. L'article Les preuves fossiles repoussent l'origine des naissances vivantes de 90 millions d'années est apparu en premier sur Sci.News : Breaking Science News.
