Paleontologists have discovered a massive skull fossil for the extinct giant ground sloth


Giant Ice Age ground sloths once roamed the wilds of the prehistoric Americas and are decendants of the much smaller tree sloths of the modern era. One of the larger of these slow-moving ground sloths, Megalonyx jeffersonii ( Great claw ), reached nearly 10 feet in height and would intimidate any ancient human hunter.

Megatherium is just one of a number of giant ground sloths species that thrived in South America from the Early Pliocene epoch 5 million years ago through the end of the Pleistocene epoch some 11,700 years ago. Scientists have determined that the earliest and tiniest known species of the genus is Megatherium altiplanicum from Bolivia s Pliocene epoch. ....

Land-Dwelling Dinosaur Relatives Bridge Gap to Origin of Pterosaurs | Paleontology


Pterosaurs were highly successful reptiles that lived between 210 and 65 million years ago. They were the first vertebrates to evolve powered flight, but their origin has remained an unresolved enigma in paleontology since the 19th century. With the help of pterosaur skulls and skeletons that were unearthed in North America, Brazil, Argentina, and Madagascar in recent years, a team of paleontologists has now demonstrated that flightless dinosaur precursors called lagerpetids (family Lagerpetidae) are the sister group of pterosaurs.

Pterosaurs are deeply rooted in popular culture, are frequently portrayed in books and films, and include the largest flying animals ever known. Their evolutionary history spans more than 150 million years, ending at the close of the Mesozoic era. ....

Pterosaurs were the earliest reptiles to evolve powered flight and the new discovery of their closest relatives’ remains has allowed dinosaur experts to learn more about their evolution. Skulls and skeletons recently unearthed in North America, Brazil, Argentina and Madagascar have revealed a group of dinosaur precursors dubbed lagerpetids are the closest relatives of pterosaurs. ....
