A couple of times now, I’ve pitched in an abstract for a Masters project looking at neck cartilage, hoping someone at Bristol will work on it with me co-supervising, but so far no-one’s bitten.

We have good descriptions of the proximal parts of the cervical ribs for lots of sauropods.

My camera had a possibly-fatal accident in the field at the end of the day on Saturday, so I didn’t take any photos on Sunday or Monday. From here on out, you’re either getting my slides, or photos taken by other people.

You know the drill: lotsa pretty pix, not much yap.

Order up! {.aligncenter .size-full .wp-image-10163 loading=“lazy” attachment-id=“10163” permalink=“http://svpow.com/2014/04/24/one-articulated-sauroposeidon-to-go-hold-the-perspective-distortion-with-a-side-of-stinkin-mammal/sauroposeidon-omnh-53062-articulated-right-lateral-composite-with-giraffe/” orig-file=“https://svpow.files.wordpress.com/2014/04/sauroposeidon-omnh-53062-articulated-right-lateral-composite-with-giraffe.jpg”

I was in Oklahoma and Texas last week, seeing Sauroposeidon, Paluxysaurus, Astrophocaudia, and Alamosaurus, at the Sam Noble Oklahoma Museum of Natural History, the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History, the Shuler Museum of Paleontology at SMU, and the Perot Museum of Nature and Science, respectively.
