  1. Explaining skeletal aggregations is not easy, especially when stating gregariousness. Why should members of a social group die in a one-off incident? Here is an outdated sketch drawn for the research team. Later, they opted for lightning strike, which is physically more appropriate than the monster wave, but still admitting a perplexing question.

  3. You can think about #sauropod necks for you whole life and never run out of questions to consider.

    Here is a good video from a small but great channel.

  6. We’ve Found #Sauropod Stomach Contents For The First Time, Revealing They Had Terrible Manners
    #Sauropods as a group span around 130 million years of time, but this one came from the Winton Formation of Queensland in #Australia, home to animals that lived during the mid-Cretaceous. It appears that they were walking around with “gastric furnaces” that could break down food thanks to #fermentation and #microbes in the gut – no chewing required.

  10. CAMARASMASH! quick grayscale picture of two male Camarasaurus lentus in the #sauropod equivalent of musth, a concept i'd like to explore more, so expect another picture just like this one, but better

  12. one of the various reasons #AzhdarchidApril couldn't be completed- I had to do this- environmental reconstruction of the tendaguru beds, species depicted include giraffatitan brancai, dicraeosaurus hansemanni, kentrosaurus aethiopicus, dysaltosaurus lettowvorbecki, and my favorites, Indeterminate rhamphorynchoid and indeterminate dsungaripterid.

  13. I can't NOT post this to sauropds.win: New #paleoart for #FossilFriday: BRONTOSMASH! II: the BRONTOSMASHENING. High-resolution version just posted to #patreon along with lots of discussion about the apatosaur neck combat hypothesis: patreon.com/posts/120678428

    HT to @mike, because I believe he likes this sort of thing.

    Ardetosaurus viator , a new diplodocine sauropod!
    palaeo-electronica.org/content

    interview with the lead author:
    chasmosaurs.com/2022/02/04/pod

    forgot to say: there are two interviews in the linked podcast; the interview with Tom van der Linden, lead author of the Ardetosaurus paper, comes first, in the News segment, about 1 minute in. The interview with Greer Strothers is later, and has no connection.

  17. sauropod factoid: among english letters, U and W are tied for the fewest sauropods beginning with the letter: only Uberabatitan and Udelartitan begin with U (sadly I must set aside both Ultrasaurus and Ultrasauros), and only Wintonotitan and Wamweracaudia begin with W. Xenoposeidon, Xingjangtitan, and Xianshanosaurus begin with X, and all other english letters have at least 4 genera. A sauropod themed alphabet book would have plenty of choices.

  19. Seven years ago today our 'Dinosaurs of China' exhibition was in full flow. The centrepiece of the 'Ground Shakers' section was this rearing replica Mamenchisaurus skeleton.

    At 13m high it was the tallest dinosaur skeleton ever displayed in the UK - a record it still holds.

  20. Introducing Titanomachya gimenezi paleonerdish.wordpress.com/202 paper: tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10 by @Ferwen

    "Titanosaurian #sauropods exhibit a remarkable body size disparity in the Late #Cretaceous of #SouthAmerica. Some of them were the largest #animals ever to walk the Earth. In central Patagonia, there was a coexistence of small bodied and larger bodied #titanosaurs. A new specimen, Titanomachya gimenezi, sheds light on the poorly sampled #sauropod fauna from central #Patagonia."

  21. today I learned I had Limusaurus (Late Jurassic Chinese theropod) , Limaysaurus ("mid"-Cretaceous Patagonian rebbachisaur), and Lessemsaurus (Late Triassic Argentine sauropodomorph) confused. 3 different dinosaurs from 3 different places, but with similar names.
