Gronky ( talk) 18:54, 5 October 2013 (UTC) For the record, we don't know the position of the nostrils on the head in this species because we have never found the head, but modern research shows the actual nostril opening was at the tip of the snout anyway. I've made a section for it: Argentinosaurus#Theories_of_aquatic_lifestyle. T.Neo 11:35, 21 August 2007 (UTC) Please add this info to the article instead of just leaving it here. and the sauropds couldn't lift their necks into a vertical position. At that depth the lungs would have collapsed. "Common mechanical knowledge" actually points otherwise. The idea that sauropods were aquatic is outdated. ArthurWeasley 05:44, 21 August 2007 (UTC) Yes, I was refering to the comment above on that page. T.Neo 12:33, 20 August 2007 (UTC) What are you talking about? There is no implication in the article that it might have been aquatic? Circeus 00:16, 21 August 2007 (UTC) I think, he was refering to the anonymous comment on this page above ("gravityless. Maybe something more along the lines of "after the diplodocid sauropods had gone extinct", or simply remove it as irrelevent. Titanosaurs survived in Laurasia into the LK. What is this supposed to mean? Did sauropods go extinct in Laurasia at the start of the Cretaceous? Why Apatosaurus, given that it's not closely related? I think the sentence is misleading at best.

Gronky ( talk) 18:53, 5 October 2013 (UTC) Questionable statement "(.) after all of its more familiar Laurasian Jurassic kin - like Apatosaurus - had long disappeared" You obviously don't know anything about actual sauropod anatomy, so shut up and take your time machine home to the 1930s, where people might actually endorse your idiotic views on dinosaurs!- 24.36.130.109 ( talk) 03:00, 30 June 2012 (UTC) Please add this info to the article instead of just leaving it here.

In fact, a better question would be is there any solid evidence against terrestrial sauropods? Some sauropod skeletons show fossilized remnants of terrestrial plants in their rib cages, there are sauropod trackways found in areas believed to have been far from water at the time the prints were made, not to mention the fact that water pressure would crush their lungs, and most sauropods could barely raise their necks above their shoulders, making it impossible to assume the vertical position the animal would need in order to breathe underwater. And as for your statement "is there any solid proof these Argentinosaurus (not "argentinosaruide") giants could roam dry land", my answer is, Lord yes, beyond doubt. John.Conway 20:35, 17 April 2007 (UTC)ĭude, why don't you actually do a little research on sauropod anatomy before you run around all whilly-nilly babbling about ideas known to be false since the 1950s.

Plus "common mechanical wisdom" is generally bollocks. Sauropods instead appear to have preferred drier areas, where their large digestive systems would have been an advantage for dealing with low-quality food. 81.0.79.88 21:59, 24 March 2007 (UTC) Water pressure would have crushed their lungs. Only the top of their heads were above water ever. Is there any solid proof these argentosaruide giants could roam dry lands like biological versions of the AT-AT imperial walker? Common mechanical wisdom suggests a 100+ tons body would collapse the legs under its own weight! The fact that their nose openings were on top of the head indicates they lived in waters and their body was always submerged to support the vast weight with buoyancy.
