#Unaysaurus was a sauropodomorph from #Brazil ~225mya. Known from a partial ~2m long individual, it is one of the earliest members of the long-neck lineage - still very close to the base of dinosauria (which evolved only a few million years earlier).

Yet another paper of our @AnatRecord Special Issue "The dawn of an Era: Comparative and functional anatomy of Triassic tetrapods" was published today. This time, @tito_aureliano et al. assess the origin of sauropodomorph air sacs. Submissions still open!

#drawdinocember Today's entry is a sauropodomorph from the Riojasauridae. Ancestral to the long necked Sauropods we know, Riojasaurus incertus is from South America. This is the prompt for the 16th
It's my first #FossilFriday on https://t.co/Fke6j4ZuQF, so it's time to post some sauropodomorph #paleoart! Here's Giraffatitan at the beach (2021), my Diplodocus mural for the Dorset Dippy exhibit (2019), Plateosaurus with flies (2020) and Shingopana with termites (2017).

#Paleoart of the new basal sauropodomorph, Mbiresaurus raathi! I've been on a real early dinosauria kick lately so the timing of this paper was perfect, what a lovely little guy!! I'm super excited to see what else comes out from this new Zimbabwean faunal assemblage!
Immense size of sauropodomorph dinosaurs necessitated soft tissue pads to reduce the stress within pedal bones.

And and #Eodromaeus to go with it, two dinosaurs that illustrate how similar the earliest theropods and sauropodomorphs were. So much so that they've both flip-flopped all around in different positions in the saurischia family tree!
An early Jurassic sauropodomorph, #Massospondylus was native to Southern Africa ~ 190 million years ago. It was one of the first dinosaurs described (1850s) and is the namesake of an entire family of mid-sized, bipedal "pro-sauropod" dinosaurs.

My afternoon is all about creating sauropod #paleoart, so in honour of that, here's a suite of sauropodomorphoramas featuring classic taxa for #FossilFriday: Brontosaurus, Giraffatitan, Plateosaurus, and Diplodocus.

A really cool new 🦕-omorph paper just dropped! It's an awesome limb myological study/reconstruction on my favorite sauropodomorph #Thecodontosaurus by @BallellPalaeo et al. I love an agile Theco 😊 & check out that awesome reconstruction by @SerpenIllus!
A look back at our favourite @Everything_Dino blog posts of 2021 - sauropodomorphs from Greenland, giant radiodonts from the Burgess Shale, prehistoric penguins and Tethyshadros gets upscaled, our blog post has more: https://t.co/XTX6RQ7jPh
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!

Meet Saturnalia; this unassuming dinosaur is one of the earliest, most primitive Sauropodomorphs; related to the ancestors of what will become the mighty Sauropods. Unlike it's later cousins it was small, fleet footed, and omnivorous. Remains are known from Late Triassic Brazil.
Good evening everyone! Tonight’s Dino of the day is Unaysaurus! Unaysaurus was a basal sauropodomorph that lived during the Triassic period. It was found in Brazil 🇧🇷. It grew to around 8.5 ft long. See you explorers tomorrow!🤠

What's better than one basal sauropodomorph skull? A whole bunch of them!
Congratulations to Lallensack and colleagues on their latest masnucript describing new skulls of Plateosaurus trossingensis!
