Recently, I've been looking into some diplodocid reconstructions with spines running along the dorsal, ventral, and lateral surfaces of the tail's distal end. Some people on dA have been restoring diplodocids this way and described their tails as basically "chainsaw whips". And long ago, I read something about diplodocid tail spines and how they would have actually made the tail whips of these sauropods into flesh slashing weapons. The "infamous Amphicoelias brontodiplodocus paper, which may have been wrong about almost everything" did say this:
On account of how poorly the paper this is from is/was apparently perceived, I have to ask: is there any other information about these tail whip spines that I've been missing?
