🦕🚨New paper alert 🚨
@paleovidal.bsky.social and team found that sauropods have a variety of tail shapes, which may have influenced their functions beyond tail/neck balance. Distinct titanosaur tail shapes could have seen the tail used as a fifth limb in a potential pentapodal posture! 🦕

The axial biomechanics of Trigonosaurus pricei (Neosauropoda: Titanosauria) and the importance of the cervical–dorsal region to sauropod high-browser feeding strategy Abstract. Trigonosaurus pricei is a small to medium-sized sauropod dinosaur (Sauropoda: Titanosauria) from the Late Cretaceous Bauru Group of Brazil that i

Biomechanics and morphological comparisons of the caudal region of titanosaurs from the Cretaceous of Brazil: Paleobiology and paleoecology inferences This work demonstrates that sauropod dinosaurs have a variety of tail shapes that may have influenced their function beyond balancing the tail/neck. Here, we find “sigmoidal-concave and sigmoidal-con...

What's up guys. I bring you the third article of my doctoral dissertation. Biomechanics of the titanosaur tail. I hope you like it!
