From @amnh: "In a recent study, Museum Research Associate Emanuel Tschopp and colleagues show that not only is Amphicoelias distinct [...], but there are likely many more types of sauropods in the Morrison Formation than previously estimated." https://t.co/wnkEyL8Zl9

#PRDinovember2021
Welcome to #Nigersaurus week! This derpy looking diplodocid was one of the smaller sauropods in the #fossil record. Native to #Niger during the Mid-#Cretaceous, this #dinosaur represents an odd branch in the long-neck lineage.

@DustinGrowick Filter feeding is a bizarre hypothesis proposed by the same guys who think that all Morrison sauropods are a single genus. It's not likely in the slightest.
Been thinking a lot about the characters I’ve made, and I set some time aside tonight to illustrate my favorite, Amber! (She loves sauropods 🥰)

When reconstructing titanosaurs with no known skull material, you can pretty much go one of two ways: the macronarian style like Sarmientosaurus or the more diplodocid style like Rapetosaurus. #SauropodSunday #dinosaurs #paleontology #paleoart
The Hydrogon, a giant late surviving Lurdusaur in the hollow earth and indeed the largest of its kind growing up to 20-23 meters long, an enormous semiaquatic herbivore 2nd only to the sauropods in its habitat and biome, inhabiting swamps, wetlands, mangroves and even kelpforests
Ah yes, Notocolossus. Probably the largest dinosaur you’ve never heard of. Discovered by Bernardo González Riga(pictured) and described by a team including Matt Lamanna, this giant has one of the best preserved sauropod feet ever found. #SauropodSunday #dinosaurs #paleontology
Results from the #paleostream
Haopterus (on a old Bolong), Shunosaurus, Plateosaurus (devouring it's son) and Pristinailurus.

DINOTOBER day 28: APATOSAURUS
Apparently there's still squabbles over the Apatosaurus/Brontosaurus stuff with the classification of species? I'd always given up on Bronty. The Sauropods in general were all kinda boring in the head department, but had to include at least one more
Pastel Paleotober Day 26: Amargasaurus 🦕
Amargasaurus was an early Cretaceous sauropod from Argentina. While not as long as some other sauropods, its neck sported extended vertebral spines which, unlike spinosaurus and dimetordon, are not thought to have supported a skin sail.
Results from the #paleostream
Paracrax (as a hoatzin relative), Ruyangosaurus and Epicyon.

First time I combined Adobe Animate and After Effects, inspired by the awesome work of @StievenVdP!!! Check out his beautiful dioramas!

Sure you know Madagascar and Hateg Island, but few are aware of the Triassic islands that were once located on the territory of the British Isles.
Here a number of animals that were found there.

Such arrangement would have allowed air to circulate inside the air cavities of the bones. The research further shows that vertebrae of this pterosaur are generally more pneumatic (contain more air) than those of the large sauropods.
More #IslandFaunaWeek stuff
Archaeopteryx, Talpanas (the mole duck), Meiolania and Paludititan.
