Scientists have announced the discovery in the Australian state of Queensland of fossils of this creature, which lived alongside the dinosaurs and various marine reptiles during the Cretaceous Period.
The Talbragar fossil site is a paleontological site of Late Jurassic age in the central west of New South Wales, Australia. It lies about 30 kilometres (19 mi) north-east of the town of Gulgong, and 300 kilometres (190 mi) north-west of Sydney. The site has been known for over a century during which it has been extensively excavated to the ...
Fossils have been found from Victoria, Australia and date back 125-120 million years ago to Barremian-Aptian stages of the Early Cretaceous. Koolasuchus is the youngest known temnospondyl. It is known from several fragments of the skull and other bones such as vertebrae, ribs, and pectoral elements.
A study on frontals and maxillae of extant agamids from Australia and Papua New Guinea, and on the utility of these bones for identification of agamid taxa in the fossil record, is published by Ramm et al. (2024), who report that the studied bones diagnostic at the generic level and might provide information on the ecology of fossil agamids ...
McGraths Flat is an Australian research site containing fossils and other evidence of animals and plants that existed in Miocene Australia. Located in central New South Wales, specimens at the site are in an exceptional state of preservation, described in paleontology as a Konservat-Lagerstätten, deposited in unusual conditions that record microscopic details of soft tissues and delicate ...
Lacerda et al. (2024) describe new fossil material of spinosaurids (including a cervical vertebra of Sigilmassasaurus) and partial ischium of an indeterminate carcharodontosaurid from the Kem Kem Group . [167] Yun (2024) identifies convergent similarities in craniodental anatomy between spinosaurs and phytosaurs. [168]
The fossils found at Bluff Downs fossil site consist of a diverse range of vertebrates dating to the Pliocene, found in the terrigenous sediments of the Allingham Formation. These include both broken and complete bones and skulls, though articulated skeletons (with the bones in the same position as upon the organism's death) are rare, and most ...
The fossil, examined under a microscope and with micro-CT scans, has a conical puncture a sixth of an inch (4 mm) wide that appears to be the bite mark of a crocodilian that either preyed on the ...
