Special Papers in Palaeontology, published by The Palaeontological Association, is a series of substantial separate works conforming to the style of the Palaeontology journal. Two issues are published each year and feature high standard illustrations.



An analysis of Sauropoda which includes many of the most familiar dinosaurs, such as Apatosaurus (formerly 'Brontosaurus'), Diplodocus and Brachiosaurus (the latter finding fame in the Jurassic Park movies)
Advances our knowledge of sauropod phylogeny, biomechanics, physiology and ecology and offers insights into the limits of life at large body size
An active and constructive debate in dinosaur studies that will serve as a benchmark for future work on prosauropods and basal sauropods
Includes 107 text-figures and 24 tables

Paul M. Barrett and David J. Batten are both members of The Palaeontological Association.
