Towards extreme gigantism - Long bone inner and outer adaptations to graviportality in sauropodomorph dinosaurs

My PhD is focused on the adaptations to graviportality in sauropodmorph dinosaurs long bones. I will study, thanks to geometric morphometrics and X-Ray microtomography, the inner (bone microanatomy) and outer (analyses on 3D models digitized by surface scanning and photogammetry) adaptations on stylopods and zeugopods of the forelimb and the hindlimb of a large sample of taxa from this clade.
