Fig. 9 in Pneumaticity and soft-tissue reconstructions in the neck of diplodocid and dicraeosaurid sauropods

Fig. 9. Photographs and reconstructions of soft−tissues in the neck of Amargasaurus cazaui (MACN−N−15)), La Amarga, Neuquén, Argentina, La Amarga Formation, Hauterivian, Early Cretaceous. A. 7th and 8th cervical vertebra in left lateral (A) and in cranial aspects (A) and with close−up cranial view show1 2 ing crests at the cranial face of neural spines (A). B. Isolated cervical rib in dorsal (B) and ventral (B) aspects. C. Vertebral corpus of 5th cervical vertebra 3 1 2 in ventral aspect. D. 10th cervical vertebral in left lateral aspect. E. Transverse cross−sections through cervical vertebra in the diapophysis region, with internal extension of pneumatic cavities basing on Dicraeosaurus hansemanni (see also Fig. 8). Scale bars 60 mm, E is not to scale.
