Impact of sauropod dinosaurs on lagoonal substrates in the Broome Sandstone (Lower Cretaceous), Western Australia. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Existing knowledge of the tracks left by sauropod dinosaurs (loosely 'brontosaurs') is essentially two-dimensional, derived mainly from footprints exposed on bedding planes, but examples in the Broome Sandstone (Early Cretaceous) of Western Australia ...

The neck of Barosaurus was not only longer but also wider than those of Diplodocus and other diplodocines [PDF]
, 2016 Barosaurus is a diplodocid sauropod from the Upper Jurassic Morrison Formation of the western United States, and is known for its very long neck. It is related to the sympatric Diplodocus, and often thought of as more or less identical except with a ...

BMC Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Background Dinosaurs dominated terrestrial environments for over 100 million years due in part to innovative feeding strategies. Although a range of dental adaptations was present in Late Jurassic dinosaurs, it is unclear whether dinosaur ecosystems ...

Reappraisal of sauropod dinosaur diversity in the Upper Cretaceous Winton Formation of Queensland, Australia, through 3D digitisation and description of new specimens. [PDF]
PeerJSkeletal remains of sauropod dinosaurs have been known from Australia for over 100 years. Unfortunately, the classification of the majority of these specimens to species level has historically been impeded by their incompleteness.

A diplodocid sauropod survivor from the early cretaceous of South America. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Diplodocids are by far the most emblematic sauropod dinosaurs. They are part of Diplodocoidea, a vast clade whose other members are well-known from Jurassic and Cretaceous strata in Africa, Europe, North and South America. However, Diplodocids were never

A new sauropodomorph dinosaur from the Early Jurassic of Patagonia and the origin and evolution of the sauropod-type sacrum. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 The origin of sauropod dinosaurs is one of the major landmarks of dinosaur evolution but is still poorly understood. This drastic transformation involved major skeletal modifications, including a shift from the small and gracile condition of primitive ...

Enigmatic tracks of solitary sauropods roaming an extensive lacustrine megatracksite in Iberia
Scientific Reports, 2021 Sauropod remains are abundant on the Iberian Peninsula across the Jurassic-Cretaceous transition. Where the osteological record shows a high diversity of this kind of dinosaur, the ichnological findings are mainly limited to sauropod tracks characterized

A re-examination of a Middle Jurassic sauropod limb bone from the Bathonian of the Isle of Skye [PDF]
, 2004 A limb bone from the Bathonian of the Isle of Skye, previously identified as a possible femur of the sauropod dinosaur <i>Cetiosaurus</i>, is reassessed in light of comparisons with other sauropod material, including the lectotype of <i>
