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.

dent prédateur proie fossile Dinosauria Edmontosaurus Tyrannosaurus découverte crâne
Un crâne fossilisé d'Edmontosaure avec une dent de tyrannosaure encore incrustée dans son visage a fourni aux scientifiques de rares preuves d'une rencontre dramatique entre prédateur et proie. La découverte suggère que le carnivore géant a prononcé une morsure face-à-face incroyablement puissante, offrant de nouveaux indices sur la façon dont le tyrannosaure chassait.

Une étonnante découverte de fossiles montre que d'anciennes abeilles utilisaient les alvéoles vides des os de mammifères comme de minuscules nids après que des hiboux aient dispersé les os sur le sol d'une grotte il y a 20 000 ans. Il s’agit de la première preuve connue de nidification d’abeilles dans des os d’animaux, révélant une stratégie de survie étonnamment créative.

Un petit fossile collecté sur une île de l'Antarctique il y a plus de quatre décennies est la vertèbre caudale d'un dinosaure sauropode titanosaure qui parcourait l'Antarctique il y a environ 83 millions d'années, selon un nouvel article paru dans la revue Acta Palaeontologica Polonica. La chronologie de la première découverte de dinosaures en Antarctique réécrite par un fossile vieux de 83 millions d'années est apparue en premier sur Sci.News : Breaking Science News.
