Menefeeceratops is a genus of ceratopsid dinosaur from the Menefee Formation in the United States. It is is believed to have been approximately 4 m long, and had two large horns above the eyes like other ceratopsians. Menefeeceratops was one of the earliest and most basal known members of the ceratopsids, and the oldest known centrosaurine. Its age and location was instrumental in helping to understand the evolution and diversification of the centrosaurine dinosaurs.

fossile formation
Sous le rift Turkana, en Afrique de l’Est, les scientifiques ont découvert que la croûte s’amincit jusqu’à atteindre un point critique, ce qui suggère que le continent se désagrège progressivement. Ce processus de « rétrécissement » marque un stade avancé de rifting qui pourrait éventuellement conduire à la formation d’un nouvel océan dans des millions d’années. Étonnamment, les mêmes forces géologiques qui divisent la terre peuvent également expliquer pourquoi la région détient un registre fossile si riche. Au lieu d'être le berceau de l'humanité, Turkana pourrait bien être simplement le lieu où

Maroc fossile découverte formation
Une étrange formation rocheuse ridée au Maroc a amené les scientifiques à repenser l'endroit où pourraient vivre d'anciens microbes. Au lieu d’eaux peu profondes et ensoleillées, ces microbes pourraient avoir prospéré dans les profondeurs de l’océan, alimentés par les produits chimiques libérés par les glissements de terrain sous-marins. La découverte suggère que les environnements sombres et riches en nutriments ont abrité des écosystèmes prospères beaucoup plus tôt que prévu. Cela soulève également la possibilité que de nombreux fossiles similaires aient été négligés ou mal interprétés.
