Titanosauriform teeth from the Cretaceous of Japan [PDF]
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

A new titanosauriform sauropod (Dinosauria: Saurischia) from the Lower Cretaceous of Hyogo, Japan [PDF]
Zootaxa, 2014 A new genus and species of titanosauriform sauropod is erected based on a partial skeleton found in the Lower Cretaceous Sasayama Group of Hyogo Prefecture, SW Japan. The new taxon is here named as Tambatitanis amicitiae gen. et sp. nov., which is diagnosed by the following features of the caudal vertebrae, chevrons and braincase: the postzygapophysis ...

New information on the Cretaceous sauropod dinosaurs of Zhejiang Province, China: impact on Laurasian titanosauriform phylogeny and biogeography. [PDF]
R Soc Open Sci, 2019 Titanosaurs were a globally distributed clade of Cretaceous sauropods. Historically regarded as a primarily Gondwanan radiation, there is a growing number of Eurasian taxa, with several putative titanosaurs contemporaneous with, or even pre-dating, the oldest known Southern Hemisphere remains.

Taxonomic and stratigraphic update of the material historically attributed to Megalosaurus from Portugal [PDF]
Acta Palaeontologica PolonicaThe first paleontological works on Mesozoic vertebrates from Portugal, carried out from the end of the 19th and the first half of the 20th century, provided the discovery of significant collections of vertebrate fossils.

Characterizing the Evolution of Wide‐Gauge Features in Stylopodial Limb Elements of Titanosauriform Sauropods via Geometric Morphometrics [PDF]
The Anatomical Record, 2017 ABSTRACTWide‐gauge posture of titanosauriform sauropods remains an enigmatic peculiarity among terrestrial vertebrates. Here, two‐dimensional geometric morphometrics and thin plate splines analyses were used to quantitatively analyze shape differences among sauropodomorph humeri and femora to identify how these elements may differ according to body ...

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.

Early Cretaceous titanosauriform cervical UMNH 21054, or, “Hello again, beautiful”
, 2015 Here at SV-POW! Towers, we’re keenly aware that some of our fans are just here for the hardcore sauropod vertebra action. These folks start to shift in their seats when we put up too many posts in a row on open access or rabbits or…okay, mostly just OA and bunnies. If that’s you – or, heck, even if it isn’t – your good day has come. Saddle up.
