Sauropod dinosaur tracks from the Purbeck Group (Early Cretaceous) of Spyway Quarry, Dorset, UK [PDF]
Royal Society Open ScienceDinosaur tracks have a long history of discovery and study in the UK, but track sites for sauropodomorph dinosaurs—the group that included the giant, graviportal herbivorous sauropods—are comparatively rare.

A diverse Late Cretaceous vertebrate tracksite from the Winton Formation of Queensland, Australia [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 The Upper Cretaceous ‘upper’ Winton Formation of Queensland, Australia is world famous for hosting Dinosaur Stampede National Monument at Lark Quarry Conservation Park, a somewhat controversial tracksite that preserves thousands of tridactyl dinosaur ...

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022 Rarity of soft tissue preservation, including of articular cartilage, in the fossil record hinders creation of biologically-realistic mechanical models. Previous studies of articular cartilage in extant taxa have documented important aspects of cartilage

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2022 Ichnogeneric classification of sauropod trackways is determined using qualitative and quantitative descriptions of morphological parameters. More recently, the validity of several of these parameters has been called into question (e.g., trackway gauge ...

A new basal sauropod dinosaur from the middle Jurassic of Niger and the early evolution of sauropoda. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 The early evolution of sauropod dinosaurs is poorly understood because of a highly incomplete fossil record. New discoveries of Early and Middle Jurassic sauropods have a great potential to lead to a better understanding of early sauropod evolution and ...

Teeth of embryonic or hatchling sauropods from the Berriasian (Early Cretaceous) of Cherves-de-Cognac, France [PDF]
Acta Palaeontologica Polonica, 2016 The Cherves-de-Cognac site (Charente, France) has yielded a diverse continental microvertebrate fauna of Berriasian (earliest Cretaceous) age. Dinosaur remains are rare, but include three teeth that are referrable to an indeterminate sauropod, which ...

Royal Society Open Science, 2021 Sauropod dinosaurs were an abundant and diverse component of the Upper Jurassic Morrison Formation of the USA, with 24 currently recognized species. However, some authors consider this high diversity to have been ecologically unviable and the validity of

An evolutionary cascade model for sauropod dinosaur gigantism--overview, update and tests. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Sauropod dinosaurs are a group of herbivorous dinosaurs which exceeded all other terrestrial vertebrates in mean and maximal body size. Sauropod dinosaurs were also the most successful and long-lived herbivorous tetrapod clade, but no abiological factors

Relatively low tooth replacement rate in a sauropod dinosaur from the Early Cretaceous Ruyang Basin of central China [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 Tooth replacement rate is an important feature related to feeding mechanics and food choices for dinosaurs. However, only a few data points are available for sauropod dinosaurs, partially due to rarity of relevant fossil material.
