The <i>Spinophorosaurus</i> description, though the distal limb elements are unknown, suggests that the thumbs are still mobile. So I've just followed that here.<br /><br />In neosauropods, the thumb spike is indeed at the base of the thumb. You'll see that in <i>Brachytrachelopan</i> coming up.<br /><br />And yes, they will be colored! Colored poorly, but colored nonetheless.Zachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08692080707969333711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38902250.post-74232848127591410932009-10-18T14:53:32.651-07:002009-10-18T14:53:32.651-07:00Nice!

I was wondering if you were planning on colouring them. <br /><br />Quick question: Do the thumb-spikes on sauropods attach at the bottom of the hand (knuckles) or half-way up the hand, as you have drawn them?Peter Bondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06288204811639220214noreply@blogger.com
