Read more Under the Great Salt Lake playa lies a potentially vast reservoir of pressurized freshwater that has accumulated over thousands of years from mountain-derived snowmelt, according to new research from University of Utah geoscientists. This groundwater occupies the pore spaces in sediments that fill the basin west of the Wasatch Mountains and below a 30-foot-thick salty layer. Show less

Adaptations for intraspecific combat have not previously been described in non-avian maniraptorans. We report a troodontid from the Campanian Cerro del Pueblo Formation of Coahuila, Mexico, showing a thickened and domed skull roof. The cranium is domed and bones are extremely thick, a morphology convergent on that of Pachycephalosauridae. Referred specimens show less thickening or doming, suggesting ontogenetic changes or perhaps sexual dimorphism. The holotype shows fusion of the frontal midline suture and tightly interdigitating sutures between skull bones, and a rugose skull roof. The specializations seen here suggest adaptation for intraspecific combat, specifically head-butting as hypothesized for pachycephalosaurids and pachyrhinosaurin ceratopsids. Repeated evolution of elaborate weapons and display features in the Cretaceous suggests that sexual selection became increasingly important in dinosaur evolution during the Cretaceous.Keywords: Dinosauria; Theropoda; Maniraptora; Troodontidae; Cretaceous; Campanian; Laramidia; sexual selection; intraspecific combatSaurischia Seeley, 1888 Theropoda Marsh, 1881  Avetheropoda Paul, 1988  Coelurosauria Von Huene 1914  Maniraptora Gauthier 1986  Deinonychosauria Colbert and Russell, 1969 Troodontidae Gilmore, 1924  Troodontinae van der Reest and Currie, 2017 Troodontini n. tax.Xenovenator gen. nov.Diagnosis. Troodontid characterized by thick frontals, anterior displacement of frontal postorbital processes relative to the parietal suture, broad and transversely arched interfrontal ridge, broad frontal-lacrimal suture.Etymology.

L'ex-chirurgien septuagénaire a été condamné en mai 2025 par la cour criminelle du Morbihan à 20 ans de réclusion pour des violences sexuelles sur 298 victimes, la plupart des patients mineurs et en "état d'endormissement" au moment des faits. Déjà en 2005, il avait été condamné à quatre mois de prison avec sursis pour avoir téléchargé des images mettant en scène des violences sexuelles commises sur des enfants par des adultes. Show less
