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.

As for mating trace fossils, for 'Dinosaurs Without Bones' I illustrated possible (speculative) diagrams of track patterns representing such behaviors in theropods (L) & sauropods (R), in which the beasts with 2 backs would result in 4 & 6 tracks. 2/2

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.

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.

“Sauropods have been dealing with their carnivorous cousins from almost the beginning. But there’s never been a theropod quite like Tyrannosaurus rex.”

Day 2:
"In another time, at another place, it's the early jurassic in what is now South Africa. A pair of heterodontosaurs keep close to the shadows of the local giant herbivores. But these are not the early sauropods of our planet."

Dino Fact!

Yunnanosaurus (Yunnan Lizard) is a sauropodomorph from Early-Mid Jurassic China! It was one of the last "prosauropods" to ever live! It's believed to primarily be quadrupedal, but like other prosauropods, could also stand on two legs!
