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 …

▪ Abstract Phylogenetic studies and new fossil evidence have yielded fundamental insights
into the pattern and timing of dinosaur evolution and the emergence of functionally modern …

Although sauropods played a major role in terrestrial ecosystems during much of the
Mesozoic Era, little effort has been directed toward diagnosing Sauropoda and establishing …

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

Sauropoda is among the most diverse and widespread dinosaurlineages, having attained a

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 …

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 …

Most recent studies of dinosaur phylogeny have concentrated on theropods and
ornithischians. As a result, the evolutionary relationships of sauropod dinosaurs are poorly …

The Cretaceous terrestrial strata of the Neuquén Basin (northern Patagonia, Argentina) are
described together with their tetrapod records. Six local tetrapod assemblages are identified …
