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 fossiles vieux de 1,7 milliard d’années révèlent un indice crucial sur l’essor d’une vie complexe
fossile
Les scientifiques étudiant les anciennes roches australiennes ont découvert plus de 12 000 fossiles provenant de certains des plus anciens eucaryotes connus sur Terre. Ces premières cellules complexes vivaient dans des environnements allant des vasières côtières à la haute mer, mais uniquement là où l'oxygène était disponible. Les environnements sans oxygène contenaient à la place des microbes plus simples. Ces résultats renforcent l’idée selon laquelle l’oxygène a joué un rôle crucial dans l’émergence d’une vie complexe.

Une côte cassée de Scotty, le plus grand squelette connu de T. rex, contient un extraordinaire réseau fossilisé de vaisseaux sanguins formés pendant la guérison du dinosaure. Les scientifiques ont utilisé l’imagerie neutronique et les rayons X pour examiner l’intérieur de l’os vieux de 66 millions d’années sans l’endommager, révélant des détails rarement conservés dans les fossiles.

Une étude remarquable révèle les origines de l'évolution des chauves-souris
vol fossile évolution étude
Une vaste étude internationale a apporté un nouvel éclairage sur l’évolution des chauves-souris. Les recherches suggèrent que les chauves-souris sont originaires d’Europe il y a environ 65 millions d’années. De plus, le vol propulsé et l’écholocation semblent avoir évolué très tôt dans leur histoire. L'étude représente la plus grande enquête à ce jour combinant les génomes des chauves-souris avec les preuves provenant des fossiles.
