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

Journal of Anatomy, EarlyView.Here, we present novel CT scan data of caudal vertebrae of six Middle–Late Jurassic sauropods, representing several eusauropod lineages. We synthesise these new data with a comprehensive critical appraisal of purported external and internal evidence for caudal vertebral PSP in Sauropodomorpha.

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 ...

Revealing the use of dental indices to infer taxonomic variation in sauropod dinosaurs
Palaeontology, Volume 67, Issue 5, September/October 2024.Abstract Sauropod teeth are commonly categorized taxonomically by two well‐established measurement indices: slenderness index (SI; apicobasal height/mesiodistal width), which quantifies breadth, and compression index (CI; labiolingual width/mesiodistal width), which quantifies cross‐sectional circularity.
