Abstract The Neuquén Basin of Argentina and central Chile contains a near-continuous Late
Triassic-Early Cenozoic succession deposited on the eastern side of the evolving Andean …

The herbivorous sauropod dinosaurs of the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods were the
largest terrestrial animals ever, surpassing the largest herbivorous mammals by an order of …

Dinosauromorpha includes dinosaurs and other much less diverse dinosaur precursors of
Triassic age, such as lagerpetids [1]. Joint occurrences of these taxa with dinosaurs are rare …

Sauropoda is among the most diverse and widespread dinosaurlineages, having attained a
near‐global distribution by the MiddleJurassic that was built on throughout the Cretaceous …

The vertebrae of sauropods are characterized by numerous bony struts that connect the
costovertebral and intervertebral articulations, centrum, and neural spine of the presacral …

Titanosauriforms represent a diverse and globally distributed clade of neosauropod
dinosaurs, but their inter-relationships remain poorly understood. Here we redescribe …

Background The axial skeleton of extinct saurischian dinosaurs (ie, theropods,
sauropodomorphs), like living birds, was pneumatized by epithelial outpocketings of the …

Diplodocidae are among the best known sauropod dinosaurs. Several species were
described in the late 1800s or early 1900s from the Morrison Formation of North America …

The oldest unequivocal records of Dinosauria were unearthed from Late Triassic rocks
(approximately 230 Ma) accumulated over extensional rift basins in southwestern Pangea …

A data-matrix of 205 osteological characters for 26 sauropod taxa is subjected to cladistic
analysis. Two most parsimonious trees are produced, differing only in the relationships …
