“[N]o other clade has all of the suggested adaptations for long necks that are found in sauropods.”
LOOK AT THIS FUCKING SAUROPOD
This sauropod is especially sweet because the folks that dug it up found a skull, which is very, very rare and awesome. But don’t blow your wit-wad with one quip, excited paleontologists!
The team plans to study each bone of the “mind-boggling” skulls in detail for more clues about the dinosaurs’ deaths—”instead of CSI in New York, it’s CSI in the mid-Cretaceous,” he quipped.
Too late.
Oh wow. Is this Sauropod Ice Sculpture Real? Sauropod Vertebrae Picture of the Week doubts it. Catholic Sensibility takes it on faith. Open Dinosaur project appears to be silent.
Tiny Magyar Sauropod Lived, Frolick’d By The Sea

Tiny Sauropods lived in a Transylvanian Neverland, NOT a land called Honalee.
Get it RIGHT.
In other news, an old Hungarian Baron was vindicated.
A new study has confirmed that dwarf dinosaurs existed on an island in Transylvania, as well as explained how dinosaurs shrank during the Late Cretaceous at the Neverland-like place where they never really grew up.
Earlier, Hungarian baron Franz [ed: “Jackie Paper”] Nopcsa claimed that his sister in 1895 found bones belonging to dwarf dinosaurs on his family’s Transylvanian estate.
But now, according to a report in Discovery News, a new study not only confirms the existence of dwarf dinosaurs, but also explains how dinosaurs shrank at Hateg Island in Romania.
…
The diminutive dinosaurs included the titanosaurian sauropod Magyarosaurus, which had a body length of about 16 to 19 feet.
That’s impressive by human standards, but is miniature compared to a sauropod such as Argentinosaurus, which grew to be at least 82 feet long.
Whoever named Bothriospondylus just got SMACKED DOWN
High-profile whupping for some unfortunate dino-cladist in Paleontology:
The sauropod dinosaur ‘Bothriospondylus’, originally named on the basis of Late Jurassic remains from England, is demonstrated to be invalid, and the characters used to diagnose it are shown to be obsolescent features which are widespread throughout Sauropoda.
SLAM JAM!
Made in the USA.
