Another for sauropods.win - Nigersaurus was a rebbachisaurid diplodocoid from the mid Elrhaz Formation of Niger. It was small for a sauropod - similar in body size to an elephant. The muzzle was very wide, and all the teeth were aligned along the very front edge of the jaws in a straight line. No other (maybe no other ?) has this configuration. Nigersaurus lived alongside the big Suchomimus and the big crocodylomorph Sarcosuchus.

Hello, I don't yet have much energy to post original content here, but I'll make an to help me build toward that.

My research asks how animals move (mainly on land, mainly ones, with appendages) AND how locomotion has evolved across major transitions of . So I am an evolutionary biomechanist.

I've studied, for example:
