Paleodossier: Cretaraneus liaoningensis

Cretaraneus liaoningensis is a species of orb-weaver spiders (family Araneidae) found in China. Like other species of the same genus, it builds a web with a zig-zag stabilimentum. Description Cretaraneus liaoningensis is a colorful spider. The female's cephalothorax is yellow with black eye margins. Its abdomen is oblong with a black and silvery-whitish yellow dorsal pattern. Brown patches of irregular shapes are present from the median of the opisthosoma (abdomen) to the posterior side. The legs are black with thin white rings. The male is smaller than the female. It has a brownish red to yellowish brown cephalothorax with black eye margins. Its abdomen is yellowish with a dorsal pattern as in the female. The legs are yellowish brown. Ecology Cretaraneus liaoningensis are web builders, the circular webs have zigzag webbing known as white stabilimenta making them sticky. They are common in all forest environments. They are late colonizers of forests and are found with their heads

Paleodossier: Araneus liaoxiensis

Araneus liaoxiensis is a species of the orb-weaving spider family, Araneidae. Distribution This species is endemic to the Yixian subtropical evergreen forest. Habitat These spiders prefer moist environments. They mainly inhabit forests clearings, swampy bogs with birch and heather, wet meadows, high horsetails and shady places. Description Araneus liaoxiensis can reach a body length of 6.5–8.5 millimetres in males, of 12–14.9 millimetres in females. These spiders have a large, almost globular or slightly elliptical shaped opisthosoma, ranging from beige to reddish-orange, with many white-and-yellow spots spread over the surface and sometimes forming the sign of a cross. Sternum, chelicerae and legs are reddish brown. Legs show darker annulations in males. A. liaoxiensis appears somewhat like a strawberry. Habits In June and July A. liaoxiensis builds small webs (less than 10 or 20 cm high) near the ground and waits near them in dried leaves that it has rolled together, forming an

Paleodossier: Araneus aethus

The spider species Araneus aethus is an orb-weaver spider found in Asia. Range A. aethus is endemic to the Yixian subtropical evergreen forest. Size and markings Individual spiders' colourings can range from extremely light yellow to very dark grey, but all A. aethus spiders have mottled white markings across the dorsal abdomen, with four or more segments forming a cross. The markings are formed in cells filled with guanine, which is a byproduct of protein metabolism. Adult females range in length from 6.5 to 20 mm, while males range from 5.5 to 13 mm. Occasionally, the female will eat the male directly after mating. Specialization The legs of orb-weaver spiders are specialized for spinning orb webs. The webs are built by the larger females, which hang head down in the center of the web or remain hidden in nearby foliage, with one claw hooked to a signal line connected to the main orb, waiting for a disturbance to signal the arrival of prey. Prey is then quickly wrapped in silk and

Paleodossier: Triceratops prorsus by ferrariantonio, literature

Literature

Paleodossier: Triceratops prorsus

Triceratops prorsus is a species of chasmosaurine ceratopsian dinosaur that lived during the late Maastrichtian age of the Late Cretaceous period, about 68 to 66 million years ago in what is now western North America. It was one of the last-known non-avian dinosaurs and lived until the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event 66 million years ago. The name Triceratops, which means 'three-horned face', is derived from the Greek words trí- (τρί-) meaning 'three', kéras (κέρας) meaning 'horn', and ṓps (ὤψ) meaning 'face'. There are three subspecies that are recognized as being valid. Triceratops prorsus prorsus, the Lance Triceratops, is the nominotypical subspecies, and the largest one, found in the Lance Coastal Plains. T. p. nanus (the forest triceratops) is the smallest subspecies, common in forest areas of the Hell Creek Glades, while T. p. brachyceros is in the Frenchman Alluvial Plain. Bearing a large bony frill, three horns on the skull, and a large, four-legged body, exhibiting

Paleodossier: Triceratops horridus

Triceratops horridus (/traɪˈsɛrətɒps/ try-SERR-ə-tops;[1] lit. 'three-horned face') is a species of chasmosaurine ceratopsian dinosaur that lived during the late Maastrichtian age of the Late Cretaceous period, about 68 to 66 million years ago in what is now western North America. It was one of the last-known non-avian dinosaurs and lived until the Cretaceous–Paleogene extinction event 66 million years ago. The name Triceratops, which means 'three-horned face', is derived from the Greek words trí- (τρί-) meaning 'three', kéras (κέρας) meaning 'horn', and ṓps (ὤψ) meaning 'face'. Bearing a large bony frill, three horns on the skull, and a large, four-legged body, exhibiting convergent evolution with bovines and rhinoceroses, Triceratops is one of the most recognizable of all dinosaurs and the best-known ceratopsian. It was also one of the largest, up to 8–9 metres long and 5–9 metric tons in body mass. It shared the landscape with and was preyed upon by Tyrannosaurus. The functions of

Paleodossier: Torosaurus latus

Torosaurus latus (meaning "perforated lizard", in reference to the large openings in its frill) is a species of herbivorous chasmosaurine ceratopsian dinosaur that lived during the late Maastrichtian age of the Late Cretaceous period, between 68 and 66 million years ago, though it is possible that the species range might extend to as far back as 69 million years ago. Fossils have been discovered across the Western Interior of North America, from as far north as Alberta to as far south as Colorado. Torosaurus possessed one of the largest skulls of any known land animal, with the frilled skull reaching 2.77 metres in length. Torosaurus is thought to have been the same size as the contemporary Triceratops, but is distinguished by an elongated frill with large openings, long squamosal bones of the frill with a trough on their upper surface, and the presence of five or more pairs of hornlets on the back of the frill. Torosaurus also lacked the long nose horn seen in Triceratops prorsus. It
