The large, quadrupedal herbivores known as sauropods were widespread around the planet from the Jurassic to the end of the Cretaceous. With the longest necks and tails of all of the dinosaurs, some sauropods were 40 meters in length and weighed upwards of 100,000 kilograms, more than 20 tons. The popular image of these lumbering giants, placidly consuming ferns has been greatly revised in recent years. New discoveries and new theories about behavior and physiology have continued to enrich the study of these remarkable beasts. This book presents 21 new studies of the sauropods. The book is organized into four parts. The first part looks at some sauropods old and new, the second at juvenile and adult specimens and ontogenetic variation within species. Part three concerns morphology and biomechanics, while part four takes up issues of biogeography.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive and Up-to-date
    Reviewed in the United States on April 8, 2012

    I am an amateur paleontology enthusiast who is looking to brush up on his technical knowledge, so I suppose my review should be taken with a grain of salt, but I am very satisfied with this book. It is as comprehensive as a book of this type can be, and contains many cutting-edge theories on sauropods. I would definitely recommend this for anybody who like me is looking to take their knowledge of dinosaurs to the next level.

    Reviewed in the United States on October 3, 2015
    Verified Purchase
    Great book intended for practicing paleontologists & advanced graduate students only. Too dense for the casual person interested in dinosaurs. Requires through knowledge of advanced cladistics, reptilian osteology and more.

    sous forme de plusieurs articles scientifiques, cet ouvrage est une référence sur la paléontologie des sauropodes.il manque cependant d'illustrations qui auraient pu rendre l'ouvrage plus agréable.
