Serendipity. Just the other day I was perusing a 1994 edition of the   
journal Gaia that contains several articles on herding behavior in   
sauropods as inferred from trackways. I'm sure there is more recent work,   
but these articles may be of interest. That volume of Gaia (Gaia, v.10,   
12/94.Aspects of Sauropod Paleobiology. Ed: M. G. Lockley, V. F. Santos,   
C. A. Meyer & A. Hunt) can be read at:
