🦕🚨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! 🦕

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...
