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.

membre tissus fossile
Une minuscule créature marine vieille de 518 millions d’années a révélé les premières preuves connues des structures qui sont finalement devenues des crocs d’araignées. Cachés à l’intérieur du fossile se trouvaient des membres en forme de pinces et des tissus mous préservés qui aident à expliquer comment les ancêtres des araignées et des scorpions sont devenus de redoutables chasseurs.

Chine Cambrien Étage 3 du Cambrien fossile évolution formation
Les chercheurs ont identifié de minuscules fossiles de la formation Shuijingtuo (stade cambrien 3) du sud de la Chine qui pourraient transformer notre compréhension de l'évolution des céphalopodes. L'espèce nouvellement décrite, Eoceras shaanxiense, fournit la plus ancienne preuve connue d'un siphoncle primordial, une caractéristique anatomique cruciale qui a permis aux céphalopodes de réguler la flottabilité et de devenir finalement certains des océans.

os fossile Ichthyosauria découverte
L’un des points forts du reportage sur les nouvelles découvertes scientifiques est de voir les œuvres d’art remarquables qui accompagnent de nombreux articles de recherche. Bien que les fossiles en fournissent la preuve, il faut souvent l'habileté d'un paléoartiste talentueux pour transformer les os et les impressions en scènes vivantes des temps profonds. Par exemple, nous avons récemment parlé d’un remarquable fossile d’ichtyosaure.
