The Green River Formation, located in basins along the Green River in Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming, is quite rich in fossils. Zones of very fine-grained lime mud preserved a variety of complete and detailed

We have documented elevated tail posture making defensive capability of the tail plausible (Rothschild and Berman 1991), but the head and neck would remain accessible to predator attack. The question is

So, I guess it has been a little while since I last posted, but we can thank that lovely flu virus going around for that. So here is my (hopefully) long-awaited part 6. I do hope it lives up to your

In Part 4, we talked a little about predicting behaviors from what we find in the fossil record. Now, I would like to address how understanding dinosuar behavior may contribute to the advancement of medicine.

Picking up where we left off in Part 3, and speaking of sauropod trackways (Falkingham 2012; Lockley et. al. 1986) which were made in relatively shallow water. Certainly, sauropods could spend time on

Sauropod dinosaurs perhaps represent a case of "the tail wagging the dog". The center of balance in some sauropods (diplodocids) is in front of the hind legs. The alleged tripod posture counters

While this is not a part of my original dinosaur pathology series, I had an inquiry about Bambiraptor. Here are some highlights and history of this specimen. Bambiraptor feinbergi is a diminutive relative

Our rethinking of sauropod tails partially derives from learning how to translate the skeleton. These areas of fusion were once thought to be caused by tumors (Moodie 1916). As our knowledge improved,

The following is an article I have written on what the skeletal record can tell us about dinosaur behaviors. It will be written here in several parts with citations at the bottom of each. Examination of

Hello, my name is Bruce with screen name dinodoc. I am looking to share information on pathologies, especially in dinosaurs and share my research. I am brand new to this community and and to this concept.
