We’re working on a series of posts that’s turning out to be a bigger project than we expected: more posts, and each one longer, than anticipated. Here’s a handy index in chronological order.
- Part 1: what we know now
- Part 2: what we found in Utah
- Part 2b: the size of the BYU 9024 animal
- Part 3: the material of Supersaurus
- Part 4: what is the holotype of Supersaurus?
- Part 5: what actually is Supersaurus?
- Part 6: what happens to Supersaurus now?
- Part 7: at last, Dystylosaurus has its day!
- Part 8: we finally get to Ultrasauros!
- Bonus post: Supersaurus before Ultrasaurus!
- Table of old and new BYU specimen numbers
- Supersaurus timeline
- Part 12: how big are the giant diplodocid bones in the Dry Mesa Quarry?
- The Past, Present and Future of Jensen’s “Big Three” sauropods (my SVPCA 2019 talk about all this)
