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.

Des chercheurs de Virginia Tech (Virginie, États-Unis) ont identifié une nouvelle espèce de dinosaure du Trias supérieur.  Le dinosaure a été nommé Ptychotherates bucculentus.  Ce nouveau taxon de dinosaure carnivore a été érigé sur la base de l'examen détaillé d'un fossile de crâne incomplet, bien conservé mais mélangé (numéro de spécimen CM 31368).  Le crâne provient de la Coelophysis de renommée mondiale

prédateur musée Permien fossile squelette
Quand j'étais enfant, l'un de mes animaux préhistoriques préférés était le géant temnospondyl Eryops.  Cela me fait toujours plaisir de tomber sur des fossiles de ce prédateur du Permien inférieur.  En effet, le simple fait de voir un squelette reconstruit me fait sourire.  Quand je suis au Musée d'Histoire Naturelle de Londres, j'essaie de prendre le temps d'observer l'Eryops megacephalus.

Une « plante grimpante des sables » géante vieille de 240 millions d’années découverte cachée dans un mur de soutènement
dent prédateur Australie fossile découverte squelette
Un fossile oublié caché dans un mur de jardin s’est avéré être l’une des découvertes préhistoriques les plus remarquables d’Australie. Les scientifiques ont maintenant identifié l'amphibien Arenaerpeton supinatus, vieux de 240 millions d'années, révélant un squelette presque parfaitement conservé, avec de rares traces de peau. Cet ancien prédateur de rivière, mesurant environ 1,2 mètre de long, ressemblait un peu à une salamandre géante, mais il était plus volumineux et armé de redoutables dents en forme de crocs.
