helps understand sauropod evolution
contributes to the understanding of dinosaur locomotion helps reconstruct the paleogeography of the Cretaceous period provides data for phylogenetic studies of sauropods aids in comparative anatomy studies of dinosaurs aids in understanding dinosaur ecology contributes to knowledge of dinosaur biomechanics contributes to the fossil record of South America enhances knowledge of dinosaur behavior helps reconstruct ancient ecosystems helps trace evolutionary lineage of sauropods illustrates geographic distribution of sauropods indicates diversity of Cretaceous fauna informs about the diversity of dinosaur morphology offers clues about climate during the Cretaceous provides context for extinction events provides evidence for large body size in dinosaurs provides insight into size evolution in dinosaurs shows adaptations to herbivory supports theories of gigantism in dinosaurs helps understand the role of sauropods in their ecosystems informs about predator-prey dynamics in the Cretaceous sheds light on reproductive strategies of dinosaurs offers insights into the evolution of herbivory in dinosaurs provides evidence for the evolution of large body sizes in terrestrial vertebrates enhances understanding of the ecological niches occupied by dinosaurs. |
