Morphometric approach to Titanosauriformes (Sauropoda, Dinosauria) femora: Implications to the paleobiogeographic analysis

2004
A morphometric approach to Titanosauriformes sauropod dinosaur femora provides an interesting tool for systematic and paleobiogeographic studies. The femur is an element of phylogenetic interest, being the proximal one third deflected medially or lateral bulge one of the autapomorphies of Titanosauriformes.

A New Titanosauriform Sauropod from the Early Late Cretaceous of Dongyang, Zhejiang Province

Acta Geologica Sinica, 2008
Abstract: A new titanosauriform sauropod Dongyangosaurus sinensis gen. et sp. nov. from the early Late Cretaceous of Dongyang County, Zhejiang Province, is erected based on a partial postcranial skeleton. It is characterized by complex laminae on the lateral surface of the neural spines and postzygapophyses of dorsal vertebrae, a distinct fossa on the ...

Sauropod teeth from the Middle Jurassic of Madagascar, and the oldest record of Titanosauriformes

Papers in Palaeontology, 2019
AbstractHere we describe 31 fossil teeth, deposited in the palaeontological collections of the Museo di Storia Naturale di Milano (MSNM), that come from the inland portion of the Mahajanga Basin, NW Madagascar, namely from the Sakahara Formation (classically known as Isalo IIIb subunit), which is dated to the Bathonian stage of the Middle Jurassic ...

A new titanosauriform from the Early Cretaceous Cloverly Formation of Montana

Cretaceous Research, 2012
Abstract New material representing the northernmost titanosauriform from North America is described from the Cloverly Formation (Aptian/Albian) of Montana, USA. Representing a basal titanosauriform, Rugocaudia cooneyi gen. et sp. nov., the remains consist of 18 caudal vertebral and associated material.

Basal titanosauriform (Dinosauria, Sauropoda) teeth from the Lower Cretaceous Yixian Formation of Liaoning Province, China

Palaeoworld, 2007
Abstract The Yixian Formation of Liaoning Province, People's Republic of China has yielded a diverse fauna of non-avian dinosaurs, but is dominated by small-bodied taxa. Here, we describe a series of isolated teeth from the Lujiatun Beds of the formation that are referable to a basal titanosauriform sauropod.

New evidence of a herd of titanosauriform sauropods from the lower Berriasian of the Iberian range (Spain)

Palaeogeography, Palaeoclimatology, Palaeoecology, 2011
Abstract A study of the undescribed part of the Las Cerradicas tracksite in Galve (Teruel, Spain) has revealed 6 trackways made by small sauropods showing gregarious behaviour (parallel trackways). Las Cerradicas is located towards the top of the Villar del Arzobispo Formation (early Berriasian).

Malarguesaurus florenciae gen. et sp. nov., a new titanosauriform (Dinosauria, Sauropoda) from the Upper Cretaceous of Mendoza, Argentina

Cretaceous Research, 2009
Abstract Malarguesaurus florenciae gen. et sp. nov. is a new and robust somphospondylian titanosauriform (Dinosauria, Sauropoda) from the Neuquen basin, Mendoza Province, Argentina. The specimen comes from Upper Cretaceous strata assigned to the Portezuelo Formation (upper Turonian-lower Coniacian).

A new ichnosite and ichnogenus from the Lower Cretaceous Rio do Peixe Basin, Brazil, with novel insights into the evolution of Titanosauriformes

Historical Biology
Sauropods were a successful group of herbivorous dinosaurs that colonised all continents throughout the Mesozoic. At first glance, the organisms in this group present a conservative shape of quadrupedal animals with elongated necks and tails. However, there was great diversification in the morphology of sauropods, which is still poorly understood in ...
