A possible brachiosaurid (Dinosauria, Sauropoda) from the mid-Cretaceous of northeastern China [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 Brachiosauridae is a lineage of titanosauriform sauropods that includes some of the most iconic non-avian dinosaurs. Undisputed brachiosaurid fossils are known from the Late Jurassic through the Early Cretaceous of North America, Africa, and Europe, but ...

A path to gigantism: Three‐dimensional study of the sauropodomorph limb long bone shape variation in the context of the emergence of the sauropod bauplan [PDF]
Journal of Anatomy, Volume 241, Issue 2, Page 297-336, August 2022., 2022 Our study investigates the limb long bone shape variation of a large sample of sauropodomorph dinosaurs in the context of the emergence of the sauropod bauplan. We highlight a differential emergence of sauropod‐related features, that appear abruptly in the forelimb bones and more gradually in the hindlimb ones.

An unusual titanosaur axis from the Upper Cretaceous of Brazil and its significance for sauropod anatomy and systematics [PDF]
The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 11, Page 3137-3168, November 2026.Abstract The Upper Cretaceous São José do Rio Preto Formation (Bauru Group, southeastern Brazil) has yielded a fragmentary but taxonomically diverse record of titanosaur sauropods, although elements from cervical series remain scarce. Here, we describe a nearly complete sauropod axis from the Vila Ventura Paleontological Area, representing an uncommon ...

Palaeobiology and osteohistology of South African sauropodomorph dinosaurs [PDF]
Journal of Anatomy, Volume 247, Issue 3-4, Page 712-727, September/October 2025.We found that the transitionary Sauropodiformes show both the traits of rapid growth of derived Sauropoda as well as interrupted growth of early branching Sauropodomorpha. There appears to be much more variation in growth dynamics of Sauropodiformes than initially thought.

Inside a duck‐billed dinosaur: Vertebral bone microstructure of Huallasaurus (Hadrosauridae), Upper Cretaceous of Patagonia [PDF]
The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 7, Page 1702-1712, July 2026.Abstract Dinosaurs evolved a unique respiratory system with air sacs that contributed to their evolutionary success. Postcranial skeletal pneumaticity (PSP) has been used to infer the presence of air sac systems in some fossil archosaurs. While unambiguous evidence of PSP is well documented in pterosaurs and post‐Carnian saurischians, it remains absent

Caudal pneumaticity and pneumatic hiatuses in the sauropod dinosaurs Giraffatitan and Apatosaurus. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Skeletal pneumaticity is found in the presacral vertebrae of most sauropod dinosaurs, but pneumaticity is much less common in the vertebrae of the tail.
