Eodromaeus is regarded as one of the earliest members of Theropoda, the group that includes the carnivorous dinosaurs, along with Eoraptor likely representing one of the most basal sauropodomorphs, the group that includes sauropods. Art by Todd Marshall.

Guided by Henry's illustrations, the morphology, along with phylogenetic analysis shows that sauropods evolved giant articular cartilage caps good at resisting compression; while theropods expanded the femoral 'head' to deal with compression and shear.

crenatissimus was a Abelisauridae from Madagascar, in life he was 2 meters tall and have 7 meters in length. It was the apex predator of his ecosystem, preying on sauropods like Rapetosaurus.

Glad you enjoyed it! Yeah, there is no reason to think sauropods would have been unable to swim, and in fact we have trackways that seem to have caught them in the act!

In part 6, we looked at the ranges of sauropod species. This is the most controversial part in the series because I pushed the idea that may have exhibited intracontinental faunal endemism ... https://t.co/CbcdmG2VL1

Suffice to say that osteological variation within extant megamammal taxa - even those now suspected to be species complex (like extant Giraffa) - is subtle and not like the significant variation seen in the Morrison Prothero compared them with. Ok, moving on...

Mamenchisaurus is an overachiever. It saw all the other long-necked sauropods and just had to out-do them. Its neck had 19 vertebrae. You have 7. It has the longest neck of all sauropods.

'Cetiosauriscus greppini' from the Late Jurassic of Switzerland (known from 4 specimens) has been comprehensively redescribed by Daniela Schwarz et al. It's named as the new taxon Amanzia and _might_ be a turiasaur. Another one - they're everywhere now!

Been having the thought on my mind lately to wanna draw some fighting sauropods so naturally the logical mindset is making some angry brontosaurs.

“In a world full of creatures like Torvosaurus and the Supersauropods, being small has its clear disadvantages. Which is why Fruitadens has developed such a tough exterior (both physically and emotionally)...”#morrisonWC

A supplement to my Lost World piece. This posits alternate identities of two animals in the film. The "compys" are Procompsognathus triassicus, and the sauropods in the round-up scene are Diplodocus hallorum. I think I prefer both of these interpretations, explained below THREAD:

Time to briefly revisit Elrhaz Formation with this taqueti model. Original reconstruction of this animal was among the first sauropods ever portrayed with a form of "beak" at the tip of the jaws.

Wanted to create my own Raptor character, so chose my fave out of the bunch. The Austroraptor! This cutie is called Pebble. She enjoys quiet stalks on the beach, and ankle biting Sauropods.

Giant sauropods lived in polar conditions in world’s coldest region, say scientists. Evidence of the dinosaurs found at Teete locality in Yakutia, just 450 km south of the Arctic Circle https://t.co/KIoGUQiKyZ
