The original material assigned to Laplatasaurus araukanicus Huene come from five different
localities in northern Patagonia (Argentina) where the Upper Cretaceous (Campanian) lies …

In the present paper we provide a new estimate of the body mass (BM) of the dwarf elephant
Palaeoloxodon ex gr. P. falconeri from Spinagallo cave (Sicily) at three different ontogenetic …

Although the interspecific scaling of tetrapods is well understood, remarkably little work has
been done on the ontogenetic scaling within tetrapod species, whether fossil or recent. Here …

Body mass is a key biological variable, but difficult to assess from fossils. Various techniques
exist for estimating body mass from skeletal parameters, but few studies have compared …

Body mass is a key parameter for understanding the physiology, biomechanics, and ecology
of an organism. Within paleontology, body mass is a fundamental prerequisite for many …

SAUROPOD (OR, MORE CORRECTLY, EUSAUROPOD) dinosaurs are highly distinctive,
not only in their overall body form, but also in respect to many details of their anatomy. In …

Quetecsaurus rusconii gen. et sp. nov. is a new titanosaur (Dinosauria, Sauropoda) from the
Neuquén Basin of Mendoza Province, Argentina. The specimen comes from red mudstones …

Titanosaurs were the predominant herbivores during the Late Cretaceous, inhabiting all
continents. This clade was especially diverse in South America with some of the largest and …

The endocranial morphology of the abelisaurid Carnotaurus sastrei, from the Upper
Cretaceous of Patagonia, is studied using X-ray Computed Tomography (CT). The CT scans …

Skeletal pneumaticity is found in the presacral vertebrae of most sauropod dinosaurs, but
pneumaticity is much less common in the vertebrae of the tail. We describe previously …
