Ten more years of discovery: revisiting the quality of the sauropodomorph dinosaur fossil record
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.

Get yourselves over to Sauropoda Central!
For some bizarre reason, I have only today discovered Sauropoda Central — a sauropod blog written by someone who goes only by the name "Davidow", but whose introductory post reveals that he is occasional SV-POW! commenter Vahe Demirjian. It's a solid blog full of meaty, sauropodolicious nourishment.
