emanuel tschoppThis has been a fun ride, and it's finally out now!
It's amazing how much one can learn about the life of #sauropod #dinosaurs back in the #jurassic just based on microscopic scratches and pits on their #teeth.
Wanna know more about sauropod life in the #Morrison, #Tendaguru, and #Lourinha Formations? Have fun with our latest contribution :)
Kudos to my co-authors @danielawinkler , André Saleiro, Ria Wiesinger, and Thomas Kaiser who worked really hard on this 🦕
Dental microwear texture analysis reveals behavioural, ecological and habitat signals in Late Jurassic sauropod dinosaur faunas - Nature Ecology & Evolution
The authors compare tooth wear patterns from three Late Jurassic sauropod faunas in North America, Portugal and Tanzania and find that different regions and climate regimes seem to have had distinctive impacts on dental wear of megaherbivores in these areas, revealing habitat and ecological niche information.
