A new sauropod species from north-western Brazil: biomechanics and the radiation of Titanosauria (Sauropoda: Somphospondyli)

open access: yesZoological Journal of the Linnean Society
Titanosaurs were the most diverse sauropod group during the Cretaceous period, with most of its diversity being found during the Late Cretaceous. In this work, Tiamat valdecii, gen. et sp. nov. is described, a new species of basal titanosaur prospected

HEAD, SKULL–NECK AND EXTRINSIC EYE MUSCULATURE OF THE DICRAEOSAURID SAUROPOD BAJADASAURUS PRONUSPINAX

open access: yesPublicación Electrónica de la Asociación Paleontológica Argentina
Cranial muscles perform important roles triggering diverse paleobiological faculties, such as feeding, communication, alert postures, etc. Within Sauropoda, a clade with high specializations in skull architectures, and several partially complete skulls ...

Hypothetical lung structure of Brachiosaurus (Dinosauria: Sauropoda) based on functional constraints [PDF]

open access: yesFossil Record, 1999
Comparison of avian and crocodylian lung structure suggests a basic archosaurian structural type, consisting of four rows of chambers that radiate independently from an intrapulmonary bronchus.

A new skeleton of Phuwiangosaurus sirindhornae (Dinosauria, Sauropoda) from NE Thailand [PDF]

open access: yesGeological Society, London, Special Publications, 2009
Abstract A new skeleton of a sauropod dinosaur has been discovered in the Early Cretaceous Sao Khua Formation at Ban Na Khrai in Changwat Kalasin (NE Thailand). All sauropod bones from Ban Na Khrai share all their characteristics with the type specimen of Phuwiangosaurus sirindhornae Martin, Buffetaut &

Posture and mechanics of the forelimbs of Brachiosaurus brancai (Dinosauria: Sauropoda) [PDF]

open access: yesFossil Record, 1999
The posture and mechanics of the forelimbs of Brachiosaurus brancai were analysed with the help of biomechanical models. Peak forces in the joints due to acceleration of the fraction of body weight carried on the shoulder joints are critical in models ...

Standing giants: a digital biomechanical model for bipedal postures in sauropod dinosaurs

open access: yesPalaeontology, Volume 68, Issue 4, July/August 2025.
ABSTRACT Here we explore the potential of sauropod dinosaurs to adopt a bipedal or tripodal stance using digital biomechanical modelling and finite element analysis (FEA). Seven sauropod species from diverse lineages and sizes were sampled, and 3D models of their femora were analysed under both extrinsic (body weight distribution) and intrinsic ...

Baalsaurus mansillai gen. et sp. nov. a new titanosaurian sauropod (Late Cretaceous) from Neuquén, Patagonia, Argentina

open access: yesAnais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2018
We describe a dentary of a new titanosaur sauropod, Baalsaurus mansillai, gen. et sp. nov. from the Late Cretaceous of Patagonia, Argentina. The material comes from the Portezuelo Formation, Neuquén Group.

Description of a new specimen of Haplocanthosaurus from the Dry Mesa Dinosaur Quarry

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, Volume 307, Issue 12, Page 3782-3800, December 2024.
Abstract A new specimen of Haplocanthosaurus is described based on bones excavated from the Late Jurassic Dry Mesa Dinosaur Quarry near Delta, Colorado. The specimen consists of seven dorsal vertebrae and a right tibia and is identified as Haplocanthosaurus based on the dorsally angled transverse processes, tall neural arch peduncles, low parapophyses ...

Cautionary tales on the use of proxies to estimate body size and form of extinct animals

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 9, September 2024.
Reconstructing the body size and form of extinct animals is of vital importance to our understanding of macroevolution and palaeontology. This is often done using anatomical proxies where extinct species are known only from fragmentary remains. However, there are many limitations influencing the selection of proxy taxa that are frequently overlooked ...
