New Haolonggood Purussaurus Models Coming into Stock
United Kingdom Miocene Dinosauria Ouranosaurus Spinosauria
The two, recently announced Haolonggood Purussaurus models are coming into stock at Everything Dinosaur. The UK-based mail order company already stocks the Haolonggood Sarcosuchus figures. They make an excellent accompaniment to Haolonggood's Spinosaurus and Ouranosaurus models.  Purussaurus lived during the Miocene Epoch. Therefore, this crocodilian is geologically much younger than Sarcosuchus. Two colour variants

Remarkable Miocene Flowers Preserved in Amber Reveal an Ancient Rainforest
China Miocene fossil study
Miocene flowers preserved in amber are providing scientists with a remarkable glimpse into a tropical rainforest that flourished around 15 million years ago. The tiny flowers come from the famous Zhangpu flora of Fujian Province in south-east China. Researchers from China and Europe examined two exceptionally well-preserved fossil flowers. Their study demonstrates that climbing plants,

hunting predator prey Miocene fossil mammals
Miocene South America was packed with giant prey—and the predators hunting them were just as spectacular. Fossil bite marks suggest crocodylians, especially the enormous Purussaurus neivensis, were more important predators than mammals in this ancient tropical ecosystem. At around seven meters long, Purussaurus may even have helped control populations of giant herbivores.

Australia Miocene fossil new species
Paleontologists at the University of New South Wales have described a new genus and species of dasyurid marsupial from the Early Miocene of Australia, offering the first solid evidence that the family Dasyuridae -- which today includes quolls, Tasmanian devils and tiny antechinuses -- existed long before scientists had proof of it in the fossil record. The post Early Miocene Fossil Rewrites Family Tree of Little Carnivorous Marsupials appeared first on Sci.News: Breaking Science News.
