Ever heard of #Sidersaura, #Pilmatueia, or #Ardetosaurus?

Well, these are all relatively recently named diplodocoid #sauropod #dinosaurs. You know, these plant eaters with the freakishly long #necks . Although... Some of these guys actually had surprisingly short necks, lots of holes in the vertebrae, and spikes on their skin. You can now read all about it and much more in our newest paper in @palaeontologia_electronica :

The Necks - feinster Dark-Jazz - spielten heute im Heimathafen Neukölln Berlin. The Necks sind für mich eine der spannendsten musikalischen Entdeckungen des letzten Jahres.
Hypnotisch. Drei Magier am Werk.

The entire catching process reflected no regard for the ducks' well-being and only focused on #efficiency and getting the job done.

NECKS SNAPPED
After many hours of #torment, any #birds who were injured during the catching process, or those who were sick, were tossed to one side until the #depopulation had finished. A worker was caught on camera grabbing birds by their necks and spinning the ducks around to callously break their #necks.

The newest episdoe of Palaeocast is about bird necks, how they vary, how they have evolved, and how little was known about them until very recently, and how essential it is to study them in order to build a foundation for learning about the necks of other dinosaurs.
