The prefrontal of Rinconsaurus caudamirus (Sauropoda, Titanosauria) as a crocodyliform ilium

Cretaceous Research, 2021
Abstract The holotype of the titanosaur sauropod Rinconsaurus caudamirus, from the Bajo de la Carpa Formation (Santonian, Upper Cretaceous, Neuquen Group), is based on an articulated series of 13 anterior-middle to middle posterior caudal vertebrae and two illia, in addition to cranial, axial and appendicular elements corresponding to several ...

Reassessment of Laplatasaurus araukanicus (Sauropoda: Titanosauria) from the Upper Cretaceous of Patagonia, Argentina [PDF]

open access: yesAmeghiniana, 2015
Abstract. The original material assigned to Laplatasaurus araukanicus Huene come from five different localities in northern Patagonia (Argentina) where the Upper Cretaceous (Campanian) lies exposed. This material includes several postcranial bones from multiple specimens and showing different conditions of preservation, often lacking anatomical overlap.

Osteohistology of Uberabatitan ribeiroi (Dinosauria, Sauropoda) provides insight into the life history of titanosaurs

Historical Biology, 2023
The Serra da Galga Formation is a geological unit that has provided a taxonomically diverse fossil record for the Late Cretaceous of Brazil. The formation highlights the richest evidence of titanosaurs in this country, with a handful of described species,

The extremely thin ilium of the sauropod dinosaur Cathartesaura anaerobica Gallina and Apesteguía 2005 (Sauropoda, Diplodocoidea) with comments on the pneumatization of the rebbachisaurid hip

Historical Biology
Cathartesaura anaerobica (Gallina and Apesteguía 2005) is a rebbachisaur sauropod from Huincul Formation (upper Cenomanian-Turonian) of Río Negro province, Argentina. It is represented by a cervical vertebra, two caudal vertebrae, a scapula, an ilium and

Haemodynamics in the Sauropoda

Nature, 1973
THE order Sauropoda includes the largest quadrupeds ever known. They were as long as 30 m and weighed as much as 80 t (Brachiosaurus1). To maintain an adequate blood supply to the brain in animals of such enormous size2, physiological adaptation is essential.

Ontogenetic assessment from dorsal ribs in a mature titanosaur (Dinosauria, Sauropoda) from the Upper Cretaceous of Texas

Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology
Osteohistology has provided significant insights into the ontogeny and life history of the sauropod dinosaurs. However, the Titanosauria, which include Earth’s largest terrestrial vertebrates, exhibit intense appendicular bone remodeling that obscures ...

Caudal pneumaticity in derived titanosaurs (Dinosauria: Sauropoda)

Cretaceous Research, 2017
Among extant vertebrates, only birds have a respiratory system associated with pneumatic diverticula. However, several extinct clades also had pneumatic diverticula, including the sauropod dinosaurs. Among sauropods, Saltasaurini are characterized by extreme postcranial pneumaticity, which extends as far down the spinal column as the posterior caudal ...

Palaeohistological characterisation of the caudal pneumaticity of Rocasaurus muniozi (Sauropoda: Titanosauria)

Historical Biology
Saltasaurini is a derived clade of titanosaur sauropods whose members are characterised by their relatively small size, dermal ossicles, and a high development of postcranial pneumaticity.
