Product Description
Review
"Provide[s] much new information on the biology of Sauropod dinosaurs; information extrapolated from studies of extant animals and from unique, new methodologies for examining fossil material." Virginia Tidwell, Denver Museum of Nature and Science "[Biology of the Sauropod Dinosaurs] represents a valuable addition to the literature on these animals as it contains many novel ideas and quite a bit of new data. It will definitely instigate more work on sauropod biology and help to focus future work in new directions." - Geological Magazine
Product Description
Sauropods, those huge plant-eating dinosaurs, possessed bodies that seem to defy every natural law. What were these creatures like as living animals and how could they reach such uniquely gigantic sizes? A dedicated group of researchers in Germany in disciplines ranging from engineering and materials science to animal nutrition and paleontology went in search of the answers to these questions. Biology of the Sauropod Dinosaurs reports on the latest results from this seemingly disparate group of research fields and integrates them into a coherent theory regarding sauropod gigantism. Covering nutrition, physiology, growth, and skeletal structure and body plans, this volume presents the most up-to-date knowledge about the biology of these enormous dinosaurs.
