Podcasts about mussaurus

(image source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mussaurus) Host Matthew Donald and guest co-host Laura Owsley discuss Mussaurus, a teeny tiny dinosaur in a family of giant dinosaurs, except those tiny fossils were actually of babies and the adults were fairly large anyways. Your one novelty was a lie, Mussaurus. From the Early Jurassic, this 20-foot sauropodomorph had a fairly cute name that was also fairly unrepresentative of its actual being. I mean, this was neither mouse nor lizard, and was far bigger than either as well. What you Mussaurus, a man or a mouse? Neither, you're a basal sauropod. Idiot. Want to further support the show?

Evidence of herd behavior in dinosaurs found A vast trove of fossils unearthed in Argentina's southern Patagonia region is offering the oldest-known evidence that some dinosaurs thrived in a complex and well-organized herd structure, with adults caring for the young and sharing a communal nesting ground. Scientists said on Oct. 21 the fossils include more than 100 dinosaur eggs and the bones of about 80 juveniles and adults of a Jurassic Period plant-eating species called Mussaurus patagonicus, including 20 remarkably complete skeletons. The animals experienced a mass-death event, probably caused by a drought, and their bodies were subsequently buried by wind-blown dust, the researchers said. (Reuters) Vikings crossed the Atlantic 1,000 years ago Long before Columbus crossed the Atlantic, eight timber-framed buildings covered in sod stood on a terrace above a peat bog and stream at the northern tip of Canada's island of Newfoundland, evidence that the Vikings reached the New World first. But precisely when the Vikings journeyed to establish the L'Anse aux Meadows settlement had remained unclear until now. Scientists on Oct. 20 said a new type of dating technique using a long-ago solar storm as a reference point revealed that the settlement was occupied in A.D. 1021, exactly a millennium ago and 471 years before the first voyage of Columbus.

A discovery suggests sociable behaviour among dinosaurs was first seen not in the Late Jurassic, but on the dawn of that period, with Mussaurus representing the Prosauropods in this aspect. Join us today as we theorize on how this habit helped this species to be successful and what that means to other similar genera. Article source: Massachusetts Institute of Technology. "Early dinosaurs may have lived in social herds as early as 193 million years ago: Fossils indicate a communal nesting ground and adults who foraged and took care of the young as a herd, scientists say."

La nuova scoperta arriva grazie all'uso dei raggi X

Un dinosaurio vegetariano, y al que se conoce como lagarto-ratón es el protagonista del episodio. También lo es Ken Stringfellow, la mitad de The Posies, y músico de R.E.M., Neil Young, Big Star, Ringo Starr y un sinfín de ídolos de nuestra estantería. Con él hablamos de los social: de lo importante que ha sido en sus carrera desarrollar una base de fans de manera muy personal, de cómo la pandemia nos ha tocado precisamente en eso. Y nos cuenta cómo es eso de tocar con ídolos desde estudios hasta estadios. Manuela ha traído un libro que, creemos que ya había recomendado pero, la verdad es que nos cuesta mucho discernir entre lo que cuenta, y lo que imaginamos. Es abuelo Miguel entra en directo para recomendarnos a The Animals, una de esas marcas con cientos de vidas, que van más allá de los componentes. Y sorteamos la taza de enero. Os queremos mucho.

Hace casi medio siglo, en 1976, una expedición paleontológica argentina de la Universidad Nacional de Tucumán, dirigida por el paleontólogo José Fernando Bonaparte, descubrió en el yacimiento de El Tranquilo, en el sur de Argentina, los restos fósiles de varios individuos de una nueva especie de dinosaurio, al que bautizaron por su pequeño tamaño con el nombre de Mussaurus, el “lagarto ratón”. Los esqueletos, incompletos, medían unos treinta centímetros de longitud, de los que la mitad correspondía a la cola. Pero este pequeño tamaño tenía una explicación: se trataba de ejemplares recién nacidos, que se encontraban en un nido junto a dos huevos sin eclosionar. Los primeros adultos de Mussaurus fueron descritos en 1980 por el paleontólogo argentino Rodolfo Casamiquela, su tamaño ya no tenía nada que ver con un ratón, pero el nombre quedó.

In dinosaur news this week: A large sauropod from the Late Cretaceous has been found in the Gobi Desert and it’s about 30-40% complete In Argentina 70 million year old dinosaur eggs were found possibly including embryos, skin, and teeth The “Tufts-Love” T. rex skull at the Burke Museum has found 100% of the skull and jaw bones by bone count including several that are rarely preserved Junchang Lü, one of the most prominent paleontologists in China, recently passed away at the beginning of October at the age of 53 Chilesaurus diegosuarezi, the first Jurassic dinosaur found in Chile, is going on exhibit at the Regional Museum of Aysen, in Coyhaique, Chile, next year An Allosaurus will be posed with a nest at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History since it may have looked after its young Jurassic World is selling Indoraptor masks, just in time for Halloween A study of 150 Ceolophysis—mostly from the same bonebed—show that early triassic dinosaurs had femora that changed significantly as they aged The data used to support the Ornithoscelida hypothesis had many errors, which casts some doubt on the conclusion that Ornithoscelida should replace the traditional Saurischia and Ornithischia groups A study of a baby Massospondylus and it’s forelimb strength shows that Massospondylus was bipedal for its entire life A simulation of Mussaurus (the earliest Jurassic sauropodomorph) showed its center of mass shifted as it grew, meaning that it was quadrupedal as a baby and bipedal as an adult Researchers used a program called niche mapper to model microclimates of Plateosaurus & Coelophysis, showing which environments they would prefer based on plumage and metabolic rates Reconstructions of dinosaur feeding musculature shows that they chewed in a way different than any animal alive today A study of emu and ostrich bones found many similarities with dinosaurs and suggests using bone microstructure to identify maturity Sauropodomorph inner ears vary significantly across groups: Diplodocoids have relatively smaller inner ear, while Giraffatitan has the largest known inner-ear By studying alligator and turkey arms we might be able to show which theropods could supinate their hands as they drew them to their body A study of dinosaur bearing sites from Dinosaur Park Formation in Alberta & Saskatchewan and the similar aged Judith River sites in Montana shows which locations were the most similar A new model of dinosaur diversity in the latest cretaceous shows that they were not in decline, but instead maybe slowing down or leveling off This episode is brought to you in part by TRX Dinosaurs, which makes beautiful and realistic dinosaur sculptures, puppets, and animatronics.
