For #FossilFriday, me and Eric Snively of @OSUVertPaleo performed an FEA test run on the crania of the long-shouted #tyrannosaur, #Qianzhousaurus. The skeletal drawing was based on the artwork by @AshleyPalaeo.

In pop culture, Apatosaurus was featured in the Land Before Time films through Littlefoot a baby Apatosaurus, along with his family. (1/2)

In addition, diplodocids may have also exceeded Argentinosaurus in length, despite being less in mass. Artwork by Paleonerd01.

Mussaurus specimens have been found in association with nests, believed to contain multiple eggs, with the infants measuring 7 to 14 inches long. Artwork by Davide Bonadonna.

When the bones of Cetiosaurus were first discovered, they were thought to have belonged to an extremely large aquatic animal. Upon closer investigation, it turned out that Cetiosaurus was not a marine reptile and actually a terrestrial sauropod. Art by @MarkWitton

The skeletal material of Diamantinasaurus included most of the forelimb, shoulder girdle, pelvis, hindlimb, ribs, radius, and vertebrae. The forelimb was complete with the radius being more robust than contemporary titanosaurs, except Opisthocoelicaudia. (1/2)

In real life, Pampadromaeus was a small bipedal animal, with the lower leg being much longer than the thighbone, indicating that it was a good runner. Its teeth were slightly recurved and serrated. Amazing artwork by @Paleoartologist.

Unlike its relatives Diplodocus and Apatosaurus, Dicraeosaurus had a large head with a relatively short neck. While the distal tail of Dicraeosaurus isn’t completely preserved, a whiplash tail was probably present, as with other diplodocoids. Art by DiBgd.
