Articulated bone sets of manus and pedes of Camarasaurus (Sauropoda, Dinosauria) [PDF]
Palaeontologia Electronica, 2015 Skeletons of sauropods are rarely found with fore and hind feet, and until now, only one specimen of this clade has been reported with all four autopodia preserved complete and articulated. This makes interpretations on their locomotion difficult and proper assignments of footprints to genus- or even species-level taxa are generally impossible ...

Ten more years of discovery: revisiting the quality of the sauropodomorph dinosaur fossil record
Palaeontology, Volume 63, Issue 6, Page 951-978, November 2020., 2020 Abstract Spatiotemporal changes in fossil specimen completeness can bias our understanding of a group's evolutionary history. The quality of the sauropodomorph fossil record was assessed a decade ago, but the number of valid species has since increased by 60%, and 17% of the taxa from that study have since undergone taxonomic revision.
