Publicación Electrónica de la Asociación Paleontológica Argentina, 2021 An isolated vertebra from the Late Cretaceous of Uzbekistan (Asia), previously interpreted as a titanosaur anterior caudal, was recently assigned as the holotype and unique specimen of a new rebbachisaurid taxon, Dzharatitanis kingi.

Caudal pneumaticity and pneumatic hiatuses in the sauropod dinosaurs Giraffatitan and Apatosaurus [PDF]
, 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.

Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology, 2015 ABSTRACTBonitasaura salgadoi, from the Bajo de la Carpa Formation (Santonian), Rio Negro, Argentina, is a well-preserved titanosaur. Previously described cranial material of Bonitasaura demonstrated the presence of square jaws in titanosaurs, but the nearly complete postcranium of the holotype specimen remains mostly undescribed.

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.

New record of Abelisauroid Theropods from the Bauru group (upper cretaceous), São Paulo State, Brazil [PDF]
, 2014 Isolated bones of abelisauroid theropods from the Bauru Group (Late Cretaceous, Brazil), are described. They correspond to three individuals represented by fused ischia and part of the ilium, a partial axis, and a right fi bula, respectively. The fossils

Titanosauriform teeth from the Cretaceous of Japan
Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2011 Sauropod teeth from six localities in Japan were reexamined. Basal titanosauriforms were present in Japan during the Early Cretaceous before Aptian, and there is the possibility that the Brachiosauridae may have been included. Basal titanosauriforms with

Late Cretaceous sauropod tooth morphotypes may provide supporting evidence for faunal connections between North Africa and Southern Europe [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 The Cretaceous Kem Kem beds of Morocco and equivalent beds in Algeria have produced a rich fossil assemblage, yielding, amongst others, isolated sauropod teeth, which can be used in species diversity studies. These Albian-Cenomanian (∼113–93.9 Ma) strata

The Titanosaur Sauropods from the late Campanian–early Maastrichtian Allen Formation of Salitral Moreno, Río Negro, Argentina [PDF]
, 2013 The dinosaur record of the Salitral Moreno locality (Río Negro Province, Argentina) is characterized by a high diversity of herbivore taxa, among them hadrosaurs, ankylosaurs, and titanosaur sauropods, but carnivores are rare, consisting of only a few ...

Small body size and extreme cortical bone remodeling indicate phyletic dwarfism in Magyarosaurus dacus (Sauropoda: Titanosauria). [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2010 Sauropods were the largest terrestrial tetrapods (>105kg) in Earth's history and grew at rates that rival those of extant mammals.Magyarosaurus dacus, a titanosaurian sauropod from the Upper Cretaceous (Maastrichtian) of Romania, is known exclusively from small individuals (<103kg) and conflicts with the idea that all sauropods were massive.
