2016年5月6日,Science Advances在线发表了中国科学院古脊椎动物与古人类研究所的一项发现,准确复原了2014年初在我国西南腹地发现的奇异滤齿龙的形象。奇异滤齿龙生活在2.4亿年前的三叠纪中期,具有怪异的头骨结构和栅栏状牙齿,是海洋爬行动物中罕见的滤食性类群。在早先的研究中,由于化石的保存原因,其特异的头骨形态并未得到正确认识。而中科院古脊椎所的研究团队通过两件保存完美的化石标本,在近期重新复原了这种动物的
On May 6, 2016, Science Advances published a online online survey of the Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, accurately restoring the image of the bizarre filter tooth dragon found in the hinterland of southwestern China in early 2014. Paleontotracosaurus, a 240-million-year-old Middle Triassic that has weird skull structures and palisade-shaped teeth, is a rare filter-feeding species in marine reptiles. In previous studies, the specific skull morphology was not correctly recognized due to the preservation of fossils. However, the research team of the ancient vertebral column of the Chinese Academy of Sciences restored the animal in the near future through two perfectly preserved fossil specimens
