#Amaura & #Aurorus (my second favorite fossil Pokemon) are based on #sauropods, specifically #Amargasaurus, which were speculated to have had possible skin sail extensions on their vertebral spines.
Ready for another #DinoVember? This one's a little weirder - meet Nigersaurus!
Nigersaurus was a sauropod (or a "long-neck" for the Land Before Time fans) that lived in the mid-Cretaceous. It was tiny as far as sauropods go, only a bit larger than a modern-day elephant.

Here's a brief description of a project @mfnberlin I'm involved with. @Daniajinn, @H_Mallison, Daniela Schwarz and myself are working on a 3D reconstruction of the rear end of #Giraffatitan, also featuring #SciArt by yours truly. #paleoart #GoSauropodsGo

Aurorus is here! I took some liberties with the size listed in the Pokédex, but bigger is always better for sauropods, right?

Highlights from the #paleostream!
Giganotosaurus, Ambopteryx, Maarapunisaurus and Adocus.

@ajarty91 I love these kinds of threads, they're so wholesome 💕
I'm Lea and I draw a lot of kaiju and dragons. I am also writing a webcomic that is almost a year old now.
Fun fact about me: my favourite dinosaurs are sauropods and stegosauridae - though I haven't really drawn either 🤔
Xinjiangtitan shanshanensis
(the neck was longer than my artwork shows, its hard to fit sauropods on pages without having to draw them smaller.)
Results from the #paleostream! After the annual exhibition of the art academy I'm back in action.
Mirarce, Gigantoproductus, Bajadasaurus and Pterodacylus.

Check out Bajadasaurus pronuspinax by Gallina et al! That is a bifid beast. What the hell is up with those neural spines (taphonomic?)?! Finally, another taxon that will help us figure out what the heck Amargasaurus-like sauropods were doing with their nuchal ligament.
#scicomm
The neck is composed of an astonishing 17 vertebrae, surpassing most sauropods! It was thus probably somewhat flexible, & arose either through sexual selection or exploiting some ecological niche (upper mid-level browsing?) #miragaia #stegosaurs #ThagomizerThursday
This is probably one of the most interesting publications concerning the world of sauropodomorphs this year. Welcome to #Macrocollum itaquii #sauropods #dinosaurus #sauropodomorpha #sicence #paleontology @mathchaos we need to found one of like this

Continuing with the series of illustrations of baby dinosaurs I was commissioned to do for a children´s book. Starting on this piece showing some hatchling sauropods. WIP (very early stages) #paleoart #sciart #dinosaurs
Sarmientosaurus musacchioi // @JoschuaKnuppe
It had a small brain, but its massive eye sockets indicated a sharp vision, a unique discovery among the sauropods. Due to their gigantic size, sauropods are rarely preserved and found as a complete animal.
"Brachio Grove" 🌲🦕🌲
I originally created this illustration just to go on silk scarves, but I found that it looks great on other clothing & stuff too. Brachiosaurus is a perennial favorite of mine...sauropods for all seasons, I say!

#drawdinovember day 10 with an Amargasaurus sketch! I love sauropods with strange adaptations like massive spikes.
Gigantosaurus seems to be modeled after the similar-sounding Giganotosaurus. Gigantosaurus IS an actual dinosaur species, but they were sauropods and not dragon-eating theropods. Fun stuff!
