Mounted replica of a composite skeleton of Edmontosaurus annectens on display at the University of Oxford Museum, Oxford, England. The original skeleton is compiled from disarticulated fossil bones from a bonebed of the Hell Creek Formation, exposed in the Ruth Mason Quarry in Harding County, South Dakota. It is 8.5 m (28 ft.) long and the skull is almost 1 m (39 in.) in length.[1][2]

Des fossiles de poissons vieux de 400 millions d'années révèlent comment la vie a commencé à s'installer sur terre
Australie Chine fossile formation crâne
Les scientifiques ont découvert de nouveaux indices sur certains des premiers poissons de la Terre, mettant ainsi en lumière les origines anciennes des vertébrés qui ont fini par s’installer sur terre. En réanalysant de mystérieux fossiles de la célèbre formation australienne Gogo et en étudiant un crâne de poisson-poumon récemment reconstruit, vieux de 410 millions d'années et provenant de Chine, les chercheurs révèlent comment ces créatures primitives ont évolué.

Une ancienne sécheresse aurait pu anéantir les vrais hobbits il y a 61 000 ans
extinction formation
Une sécheresse massive qui a duré des siècles pourrait avoir entraîné l’extinction des « hobbits » de Flores. Les enregistrements climatiques conservés dans les formations souterraines montrent que les précipitations ont chuté au moment même où la petite espèce humaine disparaissait. Dans le même temps, le nombre d’éléphants pygmées dont ils dépendaient a fortement diminué à mesure que les rivières s’asséchaient. Avec la disparition de la nourriture et de l'eau, les hobbits ont peut-être été repoussés et entrés dans leur dernier chapitre.
