They work. I'm reading up on Hadrosaurs right now.

blaze, would you mind if asked you for the whole of Tensile properties and fracture of ivory (Rajaram, 1986)?

Another request, can anyone get me access to Analogies in the evolution of combat and display structures in ornithopods and ungulates?

Yet another one. The locomotion of the camel (Camelus dromedarius) (Anne Innis Dagg).

And a fourth: The fossil record of the sixth extinction (Plotnick et al. 2016).

I love how much I've been able to solve with sci-hub.
But, does anyone know of any studies about how flexible the spinal column of non-avian theropod dinosaurs were? I know of one that suggested that metaplastic ligaments would have limited dorsoventral flexibility in large theropods (an adaptation to reduce downward sagging and increase locomotor efficiency), but what about lateral flexibility?

Well, the neck has been studied quite a bit, but I think that’s not what you mean since we’ve discussed the studies in question before. The tails, at least in tetanurans, are pretty stiff, except near the base, but presumably to varying degrees. If its the trunk you mean, I think one could figure out how far it could flex until the ribs obstruct any further movement. I don’t know any studies on the latter.

So far, the closest thing I've found was a study with Plateosaurus. www.app.pan.pl/archive/published/app55/app20090075.pdf |

Unless I read something wrong, you're saying some dinosaurs may have had trunks? |

Does anyone know a good overview paper on Morrison Formation stratigraphy?
