ASPECTS OF SAUROPOD PALEOBIOLOGY
In this volume (10) are examined diverse aspects of sauropod paleobiology
with emphasis on trackways, and a number of other related topics, with a total
of 28 papers coauthored by 39 authors.
First are present a series of twelve papers on sauropod tracksites in the
Jurassic and Cretaceous of Europe, North America, Australia and Asia, followed
by three papers presenting broad perspectives on sauropod ichnology, seven
papers on morphology and feeding, three on tophonomy, and three on the various
aspects of the global distribution of tracks and skeletal remains.
