Fig. 2 in Diversity and taxonomy of the Late Triassic sauropodomorphs (Saurischia, Sauropodomorpha) stored in the Palaeontological Collection of Tübingen, Germany, historically referred to Plateosaurus

Fig. 2. Stratigraphic section of the middle and upper Keuper of the Germanic Basin as exposed in BadenWürttemberg (right), and Bavaria and Saxony-Anhalt (both on the left). The numbers represent the findings described in the text. Zanclodon laevis (Plieninger, 1846) is restricted to an archosauromorph of uncertain affinities from the Ladinian (Erfurt Formation). Sauropodomorphs appear towards the upper part of the middle Keuper, which may be of late Carnian or early Norian age. The black silhouettes represent specimens not currently classified as Plateosaurus Meyer, 1837.

Fig. 3. Timeline showing changes in the taxonomic placement of the specimens of early-diverging sauropodomorphs considered to be Plateosaurus Meyer, 1837 from 1900 to 2004. This timeline considers only papers discussing taxonomy and papers describing and naming new species. Lines indicate continuity or change in specimen composition of species across revisions. Arrows outside the timeline indicate that the taxa were named before 1900 and / or are still valid after 2004. When more lines depart from one node, part of the specimens included in that species were referred to as different species. Lines converging in one node indicate that the specimens were lumped together into the species in the node. Stars at the end of a line indicate that in the taxonomic revision, the name became either a nomen dubium or a nomen nudum. Lines continuing after this point indicate that the specimens were referred to the new node. This timeline does not include specimens removed from the genus Plateosaurus, namely Efraasia (von Huene, 1907–1908), Ruehleia Galton, 2001, Camelotia Galton, 1985 and Tuebingosaurus Regalado Fernández & Werneburg, 2022. The green lines correspond to species that have been synonymized with Pl. trossingensis Fraas, 1913, and the blue lines correspond to those that have been synonymized with Pl. gracilis (von Huene, 1905). The orange-red lines refer to species removed from Sauropodomorpha Huene, 1932 altogether. Changes after 2004 are discussed in the text.

Fig. 1. Map showing the city of Tübingen, Baden-Württemberg, in the centre of the localities of the specimens described in this paper. The second map places Baden-Württemberg within Germany. The timeline shows the chronology in which the specimens were first excavated but not described. The date of the excavation of 'Zanclodon' is the only one that is not certain (see Results – Mid-19th century). Map data: Google, GeoBasis-DE / BKG.

Figure 9 in A phylogenetic analysis of Diplodocoidea (Saurischia: Sauropoda)

Figure 9. Calibrated phylogeny of diplodocoid sauropods. Cross-hatched bars indicate Gondwanan affinities, hollow bars indicate Laurasian. Grey bars indicate 'old world' (Europe/Africa), white bars indicate 'new world' (North/South America). Temporal boundaries based on Gradstein, Ogg & Smith (2004). Palaeogeographical reconstructions below phylogeny illustrate continental connectivity at three key time intervals: the Middle Jurassic (170 Mya), likely time of origin for Diplodocoidea; the Late Jurassic (150 Mya), interval of greatest diversity within Flagellicaudata; and Early Cretaceous (120 Mya), interval of greatest rebbachisaurid diversity. Reconstructions based on Blakey (2006).

Figure 6. Character attribution for the 96 pooled relevant characters. Notice the predominance of two analyses (Wilson, 2002; Upchurch et al., 2004), both of which predate the description of many problematic taxa, and neither of which presents data that resolve the interrelationships of Rebbachisauridae.

Figure 5. Shared taxonomic scope and pruned topologies from Wilson (2002) and four recent analyses: Rauhut et al. (2005), Salgado et al. (2006), Harris (2006c), and Sereno et al. (2007).

Figure 4 in A phylogenetic analysis of Diplodocoidea (Saurischia: Sauropoda)

Figure 4. Taxa included in all analyses post-dating 2004, following the recognition of 75% of all currently recognized diplodocoid genera. Grey bars indicate diplodocoid taxa (following the results of this analysis); white bars indicate nondiplodocoids. 50% grey lines and numbers above grey bars indicate the total number of then-recognized diplodocoid taxa.

Figure 2. Diplodocoid genera known to science at the beginning of each calendar year. Diplodocid diversity has remained stable, but Dicraeosauridae and Rebbachisauridae have experienced large diversity gains, as have taxa at the base of Diplodocoidea. Classification following the results of this study.
