Reptiles Knowledge:Dinosaurs


New dinosaur with character name "Lord of the Rings"

BOLOGNA, Eye of Sauron in the Lord of the Rings turned out to actually exist in the real world. Palaeontologist discovered a new species of dinosaur that lived in the north of Africa 95 million years ago, and called the name of the Eye of Sauron.

Sauroniops pachytholus, the name of the species, identified by fossil skull found in 2007. The fossils were found to be the top of the skull, including the eye socket.

"Predators are physically only known from the fierce eyes remind me of Sauron, a character in the movie Peter Jackson (Lord of the Rings)," said Andrea Cau, palaeontologist from Geologico Museo Giovanni Capellini in Bologna, Italy, which involved the study.

S pachytholus is Carcharodontosaurus class or two-legged meat-eating dinosaurs. As a member of Carcharodontosaurus, dinosaur species has a long skull with teeth as sharp as a blade.

However, S pachytholus has some peculiarities. The skull of the species is longer than relatives. Based on the measurements, is estimated to reach 12 meters in length. The skull is also very wide and thick.

Because of the large skull, scientists suspect that the size of S pachytholus Tyranosaurus rex. Allegations that still needs to be proven. "A more accurate measurement of size is not currently possible," Cau said.

Another quirk, S pachytholus has a bulge on the front of her skull. In a publication in the journal Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, part time work to help butting fights.

If there is a similarity with Carcharodontosaurus, it's ferocity. S pachytholus equally ferocious with Carcharodontosaurus saharicus. However, they do not compete because they have different prey.

"Sauroniops live at the edge of the delta, in warm climates, and is very rich in fish and crocodiles. Abundance of food explains the many types of predatory dinosaurs," Cau said as quoted by National Geographic, Tuesday (06/11/2012).

First, Sea Reptiles invade the river

BUDAPEST, class Mosasaurus ancient reptiles live in the Cretaceous period, 66-100 million years ago. This class of animals known to have habitat in the shallow sea.

The new findings reveal Mosasaurus in the river. The palaeontologist assume, Mosasaurus group may also adapt in the river as well as dolphins in Asia.

Mosasaurus species found in the river was named Pannonisaurus inexpectatus. The findings, published in the journal PLoS ONE.

Analysis of the fossil showed that the reptile had locomotor like land animals, such as crocodiles flattened skull and tail length is half the length of the body.

"This animal is wagging his tail like a crocodile to help move the water. They just wear a motion to halt and determine the direction," said Laszlo Makade, palaeontologist from the Hungarian Natural History Museum, which involved the study.

As reported by the New York Times, Monday (24/12/2012), the fossil was found in bauxite mining Bakony Mountains, western Hungary. In 1999, fossil Mosasaurus also found in the rocks on the mainland of Canada.

Makadi said, "Animals that may just be reaching the river and died there but not specifically live there.

Little Dracula Ancient Africa

CHICAGO,  Paleontologists identify new species of dinosaur based on the analysis of fossils found in southern Africa 50 years ago. New dinosaur species that had long canine teeth that made him look like Dracula.

New species of dinosaur was named Pegomastax africanus. Paul Sereno, a paleontologist at the University of Chicago who led the study, said that dinosaurs lived 200 million years ago, had two legs, feet and hands were able to tread grip.

"The length of no more than 2 feet (0.6 meters) and weighs less than a domestic cat weighing a maximum of 15 pounds (6.8 kg) and body mostly a tail and neck," Sereno said as quoted by LiveScience, Wednesday (3/10 / 2012).

This dinosaur had feathers upright. At first glance, this looks like Pegomastax africanus hedgehog. Fur like this before been found in dinosaurs Tianyulong found in the regions of China, some time ago.

"Fur (on Pegomastax africanus) is not as strong as the hedgehog. Feathers also seem devoted to wrap the body. Maybe it's got fur color to differentiate with other species or make Pegomastax seem bigger than they really are," said Sereno.

Stand out from the muzzle dinosaur resembling a parrot's beak is serrated canines measuring 0.8 cm from the upper or lower jaw. "It makes it look like a vampire dinosaurs," Sereno said.

Although often associated with canine carnivore, dinosaurs most likely an herbivore. Because, if through gritted teeth, canines do not overlap each other so that the support activities cut food.

"Canines may be nothing to do with the activity of eating meat.'s Teeth were probably used to scare competitors, biting another individual, to defend themselves, and perhaps to find food," said Sereno. Canines work like scissors.

Genus and Pegomastax a class of plant-eating dinosaurs of the most advanced at that time. These findings will help scientists decipher the evolution of dinosaur Stegosaurus and Triceratops group. The findings, published in the journal ZooKeys on Wednesday.
