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

In the last two decades, the number of phylogenetically informative anatomical characters
recognized in the appendicular skeleton of titanosaurian sauropod dinosaurs has increased�…

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�…

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 most commonly cited apomorphy of Archosauriformes is an opening in the snout known
as the antorbital cavity. Despite the ubiquity and prominence of the antorbital cavity, its�…

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�…

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

Titanosauriformes was a globally distributed, long-lived clade of dinosaurs that contains
both the largest and smallest known sauropods. These common and diverse�…

Abstract The Late Jurassic Tendaguru Formation of Tanzania, southeastern Africa, records a
rich sauropod fauna, including the diplodocoids Dicraeosaurus and Tornieria, and the�…

Titanosaurs represent approximately one‐third of sauropod diversity and were
geographically widespread throughout the Cretaceous, especially on southern continents�…
