Mark Witton<p>Sauropod winners: I have to draw Magyarosaurus and am feeling lost - so little data to work from. The convention seems to be rendering a small Saltosaurus-type animal and hoping for the best. Is that the least-worst route to take right now?

Mark Witton<p>I've been in Leicester today visiting various extinct reptiles, some for work, some for fun. I've seen lots of cool stuff, but highlights include a cast of Jane (and its pathological toe), the Rutland cetiosaur and the "Barrow Kipper" (actually Rhomaleosaurus). Looking forward to getting home and crunching some exciting new (to me, anyway) information. <a href="https://sauropods.win/tags/dinosaurs" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>dinosaurs</span></a> <a href="https://sauropods.win/tags/MarineReptiles" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>MarineReptiles</span></a> <a href="https://sauropods.win/tags/Sauropods" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Sauropods</span></a> <a href="https://sauropods.win/tags/sauropodswin" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>sauropodswin</span></a></p>
Mark Witton<p>Five years ago yesterday saw the start of the NHM's "Dippy on Tour" campaign that launched at Dorset Museum. I did a big Diplodocus <a href="https://sauropods.win/tags/paleoart" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>paleoart</span></a> mural for the exhibition and was invited to opening events to chat dinosaurs with the press, esp.
