  11. Baby long-necked dinosaurs were a ‘perfect snack’ for predators

  12. of course the spines of Armargasaurus supported sails. What else would be expected of a pirate dinosaur.

  16. This is your daily reminder that a bunch of sauropod palaeontologists are trying to raise $3000 so that a dozen or so new papers about diplodocoids can be open access — an amazingly good deal for the world!

  28. wow. _Structure and Evolution of a Sauropod Tooth Battery_ (Sereno and Wilson, 2005) contains several stereo pairs of the weird skull of Nigersaurus. And they picked the kind that's still easy for my eyes to do. I'm really appreciating these, and they look great, even in a printed volume. (I know, I know, many more people can make use of 3d red-cyan glasses, but I can't find mine.)

  32. thought I had while reading _Nesting Titanosaurs From Auca Mahuevo_ (Chiappe et al, 2005) : there are Massospondylus eggs. And there are titanosaur eggs. But are there any diplodocoid eggs?

    (I included the 'o' because I think rebbachisaurs are much more widespread (in both time and geography) than diplodocids.)

    when Brachiosaurus and Allosaurus met in mighty battle, Allosaurus was soundly defeated, for Brachiosaurus was greatly forearmed, and Allosaurus a bit¹ less so

    ¹Ok, Allosaurus is no tiny-armed tyrannosaur or abelisaur. Has big arms for a theropod. But nothing compared to the mighty Brachiosaurus.

  40. Brought out from a discussion elsenet: would Earth now be warm enough to support large, #nonavian #dinosaurs today? This is a fair question, because as bad as global warming is—and it's going to get worse—we're still nowhere near the hottest times of the #Mesozoic.

    The answer is, it was *generally* warmer than the present day, but #global #temperatures went up and down considerably, as you'd expect over such a long stretch of time—about 175 million years from the first dinosaurs to the #Chicxulub impact. Dinosaurs as a #clade did fine the whole way through, although of course with plenty of various groups dying out in the meantime.

    Also, the planet has always had warmer and cooler regions. Many large dinosaurs lived comfortably in polar regions that had #climates comparable to the cooler parts of the temperate zones today. The idea that non-avian dinosaurs exclusively inhabited steaming jungles or baking deserts has been embedded by generations of paleoart, but it's just wrong. If the impact hadn't happened, they'd still be thriving.

    That being said, #sauropods in particular seemed to prefer warmer environments, so their range might be a lot more limited now than it was then, and it's possible the ice age(s) would have finished them off. Other famous giants like #tyrannosaurs, #ceratopsians, and #hadrosaurs would still be widespread, and smaller ones like #dromaeosaurs ("raptors") would be as numerous as coyotes and wildcats are in our world.
