ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

This work was inspired by R. Wilhite, who pioneered mechanical digitizing. In many discussions, he gave valuable advice and encouragement. Additional helpful discussions took place with K. Stevens, N. Murphy, A. Andersen, and S. Hartmann. S. Perry and J. Codd loaned us a longer-range Microscribe GL. We would like to extend our heartfelt appreciation to them all. W.-D. Heinrich, B. Schwarz, and S. Scheffel at the MFN, earned HM's gratefulness by helping with collection access. HM is equally deep in debt to C. and D. Mackie and especially K. Krudwig of RCI for access to the MFN material temporarily in their care. Two anonymous reviewer’s comments greatly helped to improve this manuscript.

This work was funded by the Germans Science Foundation as part of the Research Group FOR 533 'Sauropod Biology', and is contribution #54.
