Osteology and phylogenetic relationships of Ligabuesaurus leanzai (Dinosauria: Sauropoda) from the Early Cretaceous of the Neuquén Basin, Patagonia, Argentina [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
Osteological knowledge of the sauropod dinosaur Ligabuesaurus leanzai is increased by the description of new postcranial elements assigned to the holotype MCF-PVPH-233.

Paleopathology of a putative colossosaurian caudal vertebra (Neosauropoda: Titanosauria) from the Presidente Prudente Formation, Brazil

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Studies investigating paleopathologies in sauropods remain scarce despite their relative abundance in the fossil record. In this study we report new occurrence of paleopathological features, corresponding to a neoplasm found in a middle caudal vertebra (MCT.R.2120) of an advanced titanosaur from the Presidente Prudente Formation (Bauru Basin ...

ENHYDROSS: A New Mechanistic Model Supports the Trans‐Oceanic Dispersal Capability of Terrestrial Vertebrates

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
We introduce ENHYDROSS, a new mechanistic model that uses optimal swimming speed and minimum cost of transport to estimate maximum dispersal distances and durations for vertebrates, enabling assessment of long‐distance oceanic dispersal potential. Applied to a range of extant and extinct animals, the model's estimates generally align with observed data;

A survey of dinosaur diversity by clade, age, place of discovery and year of description [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Dinosaur diversity is analyzed in terms of the number of valid genera within each major clade, Mesozoic age, place of discovery and year of description. Aves (Archaeopteryx + Neornithes) is excluded. Nomina nuda and nomina dubia are not counted.

Redescription ofBonatitan reigi(Sauropoda: Titanosauria), from the Campanian–Maastrichtian of the Río Negro Province (Argentina)

open access: yesHistorical Biology, 2014
The titanosaur sauropod Bonatitan reigi is redescribed. The material collected, originally interpreted as pertaining to two different individuals, is reorganised in five individuals, and the original type specimen is separated into three different individuals. One of the braincases is designated as a new type specimen.

How femoral morphology informs our understanding of the evolution of ornithopod locomotion and body size

open access: yesPalaeontology, Volume 68, Issue 4, July/August 2025.
Abstract Ornithopoda is one of the three main ornithischian dinosaur clades in which secondary quadrupedality is represented. However, when it evolved from obligate bipedality remains controversial. Indeed, the ability to alternate between the two habits was inferred in some ornithopods based on ichnological observations and a mosaic of bipedal and ...

The effects of the spreading of the Central Atlantic during the Middle Jurassic on dinosaur faunas [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The spreading of the Central Atlantic is a complex series of events that include a ridge jump to the east and a ridge jump to the west at c. 170Ma and c. 162Ma respectively.

Speeds and stance of titanosaur sauropods: analysis of Titanopodus tracks [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Speed estimations from trackways of Titanopodus mendozensis González Riga and Calvo provide information about the locomotion of titanosaurian sauropods that lived in South America during the Late Cretaceous.

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 ...

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 ...
