RE: A tick has been found inside a 99 million year old amber; providing evidence that they fed on dinosaur blood!

in #science • 7 years ago

Talking about dinosaur, I don't know if you've seen but they found the fossil from the oldest plésiosaure in the world. I've seen a lot of information in the french and german press but nothing in english. Here are some articles : http://www.rtl.fr/actu/environnement/decouverte-du-plus-vieux-dinosaure-marin-du-monde-plesiosaure-allemagne-squelette-7791443433 and http://www2.cnrs.fr/presse/communique/5363.htm

    Thanks for letting me know about this one, @wanyz! I had not really seen anything about this yet, but I found a BBC article about it. I'll try to find the original source later when I have some more time, and maybe I'll do a post about it ;)

    Original source is "A Triassic plesiosaurian skeleton and bone histology inform on evolution of a unique body plan, Tanja Wintrich, Shoji Hayashi, Alexandra Houssaye, Yasuhisa Nakajima, P. Martin Sander, Science Advances, 13 décembre 2017. DOI : 10.1126/sciadv.1701144" But I don't think you could find it on the net :/
