Troodon Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Paper just released that describes the dorsal vertebrae in detail of the titanosaur Dreadnoughtus schrani from Argentina that was described in 2014. If you ever wanted to know what the different areas of a dorsal vertebra were called this gives you more than you ever need. It also gives you relative position in the vertebral column. You will be tested on the pronunciation and spelling of these words Check the scale bar it's 50 cm (appox 20 inches) Complete dorsal vertebrae are very rare especially this well preserved. This discovery gives paleontologist an opportunity to use these specimens to compare against other taxons. It also gives them a better understanding of their position in the sketal structure. https://www.app.pan.pl/article/item/app003912017.html Osteology of the dorsal vertebrae of the giant titanosaurian sauropod dinosaur Dreadnoughtus schrani from the Late Cretaceous of Argentina Kristyn K.
