The fossil mostly consists of an endocast ” a sediment cast of the skull cavity where the dinosaur's brain resided.
At the same time scientists played a recording of a warning call (threatening) or “contact calls” (non-threatening).
A pebble-sized object found in 2004 by a U.K. fossil hunter has just been confirmed as the first known fossilized brain tissue from a The remarkable discovery, dating to the Cretaceous Period 133 million years ago, offers insight into dinosaur evolution, behavior, intelligence and brain structure.Scanning electron microscope analysis of the fossil reveals it is a fossilized portion of a brain that belonged to an Iguanodon-like dinosaur. Typically, endocasts give vital but indirect information about the brains of fossilised animals, as these sensitive organs are often the first to decay. Scientists say a brown pebble found on a beach in Sussex is the first fossil of a dinosaur brain to be discovered in the world. Instead, he thinks the finding will help get paleontologists to investigate their fossils more carefully because they could never know what might be hiding within them.“It’s uniquely remarkable,” he said, “but it’s not going to change the way we think.”A 133-million-year-old fossilized dinosaur brain — the first found — was initially picked up in 2004. {{#replies}} try again, the name must be uniquePlease But the age of rocks near where the cast was found, at 133 million years old, suggests that the dinosaur might have roamed the land several million years earlier than the Iguanodon, said Liu.Using x-ray techniques, the team produced a virtual, 3D model of the fossil, allowing them to explore its structure and how it formed. they can to create a true meeting of independent Premium. “That would suggest that the brain of the dinosaur did fill most of the volume of that brain case and therefore it might have had a larger brain that we previously gave it credit for,” said Liu, although the authors note that the features may be a result of the upside down burial of the skull that could have led to the brain being pushed against the brain cavity.Even if the brain was bigger than expected, Liu added, “whether that tells us anything about its intelligence, or its ability to communicate, or its behavioural capacity is very, very sketchy”.Amy Balanoff of Johns Hopkins University, who was not involved in the study, said that more needs to be done to confirm that the find does indeed show preservation of soft tissues of the brain, but “because of the rarity of the claims in this paper, it can be certain that it will receive a lot of scrutiny”.
{{#sender.isSelf}} Dr Sidney Tamm of the Marine Biological Laboratory could not initially find any trace of an anus on the species. Who knows what is still to be discovered?” he said. "Norman said that "wrinkled fabric" is made up of several layers that appear very similar to the meninges - tissue that surround the brain in the brain cavity. Now scientists have determined that lump is the first known fossilized brain tissue from a dinosaur. Warm temperatures favour females. Scientists have identified a four-legged creature with webbed feet to be an ancestor of the whale. the same level of attention, but we have preserved this area in the interests of open debate.
