Media are grouped by projects created by users. Projects tend to contain media tied together by a theme. A project might represent the dataset for a single peer-reviewed paper, the results of a collections digitization project, or data for a digital lesson plan.

Projects can be used to share media ownership and access between project members, and projects can also be used to publish assortments of media and specimens for access and discovery by the public. If you want to share media ownership and access with multiple users across multiple projects, consider creating a user team. Projects can be managed by teams, and users with access to that team also gain access to any projects managed by that team.

Display all details of A novel feeding mechanism of diplodocid sauropods revealed in an Apatosaurine skull Dental batteries of sauropod dinosaurs have been individually studied in members of the Diplodocidae, Rebbachisauridae, Dicraeosauridae, Brachiosauridae, and Camarasauridae. However, the disparity within a taxon among the number of replacement teeth between the premaxilla, maxilla, and dentary of apatosaurine sauropods has yet to be fully investigated. TATE-099, a nearly complete and associated apatosaurine skull and accompanying dental batteries from the upper Morrison Formation (Upper Jurassic) at Como Bluff, Wyoming, contains cranial characters consistent with Apatosaurus sp. is described herein. Unerupted dental batteries of the right premaxilla, maxilla, and dentary were imaged and digitally reconstructed using computed tomography (CT). Following CT imaging, unerupted dental batteries were segmented and exported as stereolithograph models for rapid prototyping. Results indicate the premaxilla contains four alveolar positions each with 5–7 unerupted replacement teeth, the maxilla contains ten alveolar positions each with 3–5 unerupted replacement teeth, and the dentary contains ten alveolar positions each with only 1–2 unerupted replacement teeth. The capacity of replacement teeth in TATE-099 is higher than reported in the genus Diplodocus and is consistent with data from previous studies on the niche partitioning among coeval Morrison Formation sauropods. The disparity among the capacity of dental batteries in the premaxilla, maxilla, and dentary of TATE-099 further suggests novel feeding mechanics in apatosaurines. CT data also support a new hypothesis of tooth replacement in diplodocids, where entire rows of teeth are replaced as a single unit, rather than individually as is typical with thecodonty. The high-capacity of replacement teeth in the premaxilla is only known to be succeeded by one taxon (Nigersaurus) and suggests frequent wear of the premaxillary teeth. However, considerably fewer replacement teeth in the dentary of TATE-099 suggests less-frequent wear in the lower jaw. Similar disparity is also seen in the sauropod genus Dicraeosaurus, which possesses 1–3 replacement teeth in the dentary and 4–5 and 4–1 replacement teeth in the premaxilla and maxilla, respectively. These results offer insight into the feeding mechanisms and disparity of sauropods within Flagellicaudata. 0 0
