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.

Un fossile vieux de 240 millions d’années vient de changer la chronologie des dinosaures
Tanzanie fossile Dinosauria découverte évolution phylogénie
Un animal âgé de 240 millions d’années récemment identifié en Tanzanie oblige les scientifiques à repenser la chronologie des premiers dinosaures. Dinodontosaurus isiyavamanda appartient à un groupe auparavant connu uniquement en Amérique du Sud, reliant les gisements de fossiles des deux continents. Ce lien suggère que les fossiles de dinosaures les plus anciens de Tanzanie pourraient en réalité être des millions d’années plus jeunes qu’on ne le pensait auparavant.

La lumière UV révèle un possible camouflage sur un crocodile vieux de 125 millions d'années
peau fossile
Un fossile de crocodile vieux de 125 millions d'années a révélé une peau préservée, d'éventuels organes sensoriels, des structures respiratoires sophistiquées et un motif inattendu sur sa queue. La lumière ultraviolette a exposé des bandes alternées qui peuvent représenter un camouflage ancien, préservant potentiellement la plus ancienne coloration connue chez un crocodylomorphe.
