Small body size and extreme cortical bone remodeling indicate phyletic dwarfism inMagyarosaurus dacus(Sauropoda: Titanosauria) [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 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.
