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

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

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

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

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

Bone histology of the titanosaur Lirainosaurus astibiae (Dinosauria: Sauropoda) from the Latest Cretaceous of Spain [PDF]
, 2010 [EN] The titanosaur Lirainosaurus astibiae is the only sauropod species known from the Late Cretaceous of the Iberian Peninsula. Lirainosaurus did not reach a gigantic body size and is one of the smallest sauropods discovered to date.

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