Dinosaur of the day Titanosaurus, a dubious titanosaurian sauropod that lived in the Late Cretaceous.

In dinosaur news this week:

  • Air sacs were invading sauropod bones in multiple ways in the Triassic—earlier than previously thought
  • A new method to determine if scars on bones are from tendon attachments or air sac contact
