An international research team led by the Institut Català de Paleontologia Miquel Crusafont (ICP) and the Museu Balear de Ciències Naturals (MUCBO | MBCN) have described a fossil animal that lived between 270 and 280 million years ago in present-day Mallorca.

"Dog-like" fossil discovery may be oldest known saber-toothed animal

Scientists have discovered in Mallorca an old stone formation of gorgonopsia, the age of which is 270-280 million years. It is a saber-toothed predator, the behavior of which can change the representation on the evolutionary line, leading to the molting, reports ScitechDaily. About 200 million years ago, in the era of the dinosaurs, the first “true” miners appeared on Earth. But the medics lead their pedigree further, rising to an ancient group …

Около 200 миллионов лет назад, в эпоху динозавров, на Земле появились первые "настоящие" млекопитающие. Но млекопитающие ведут свою родословную гораздо дольше, восходя к древ…

He lived before the dinosaurs: scientists found the most ancient saber-toothed predator

An international team of scientists has discovered the fossil remains of an ancient predator, the gorgonopsid, which are estimated to be 270-280 million years old. This is the oldest representative of mammalian ancestors, as confirmed in a published paper in the journal Nature Communications. Gorgonopsids are an extinct line of synapsids that eventually gave rise to mammals. They were warm-blooded carnivores that first developed their characteri…

The oldest ancestor of mammals has been discovered

An international team of paleontologists has found a fossil of an evolutionary relative of the first mammal on Mallorca. This gorgonopsia lived 250 to 270 million years ago, or even before the dinosaurs, the scientists write in Nature Communications. The geographical location of the find leads to a part of the evolutionary history being rewritten.

Een internationaal team van paleontologen heeft op Mallorca een fossiel gevonden van een evolutionaire verwant van het eerste zoogdier. Deze gorgonopsia leefde 250 tot 270 miljoen jaar geleden, of nog vóór de dinosaurussen, schrijven de wetenschappers in Nature Communications. De geografische locatie van de vondst leidt ertoe dat een deel van de evolutionaire geschiedenis best herschreven wordt.

Fossil of 'sabre-toothed primitive dog' found is groundbreaking for evolutionary history

A family monster: a carnivore who stalked his prey 270 million years ago, who looked like a rare dog with no ears or hair and possessed sabre teeth. But he belongs to the evolutionary line that gave rise to the first mammals, 50 million years later. And he laid eggs. The name, Gorgonopsio, honors his strange and disturbing appearance, with the appearance or face of Gorgona. An extraordinary fossil of this shocking creature, whose lineage compete…

El nombre, gorgonopsio, hace honor a su extraña y turbadora apariencia, con aspecto o rostro de Gorgona. Un extraordinario fósil de esta chocante criatura…

Like a dog without ears or hair and with sabre teeth: found a gorgonoopsio in Mallorca, the oldest ancestor of mammals

According to the ICP, Gorgonopsians belong to the evolutionary lineage that would give rise to the first mammals 50 million years later and lived during the Permian period, between 270 and 250 million years ago. They were the first animals to develop the saber-like teeth characteristic of predators and were often the superpredators of the ecosystems in which they lived.

Segundo o ICP, os gorgonopsianos pertencem à linhagem evolutiva que daria origem aos primeiros mamíferos 50 milhões de anos mais tarde e viveram durante o período Pérmico, entre há 270 e 250 milhões de anos. Foram os primeiros animais a desenvolver os dentes de sabre característicos dos predadores e eram muitas vezes os superpredadores dos ecossistemas em que viviam

“It's probably the oldest gorgonopsian on the planet”: remains of an ancestor of mammals discovered in Mallorca

The place where this 270 million-year-old mammal ancestor was discovered - in Mallorca, in the Balearic Islands - is considered, in itself, just an unusual fact.
