Abstract in brief
The discovery of a well-preserved group of dinosaur skeletons from Brazil provides new insights into early sauropodomorph evolution, including the oldest known long-necked species, which developed a longer neck to help feed on high vegetation.
This new species, part of a Gondwanan Triassic group, helps define key evolutionary changes in sauropodomorphs between 233 and 225 million years ago, including increased size and a herbivorous diet.
The close clustering of the skeletons suggests these dinosaurs exhibited gregarious behavior, making it the earliest evidence of social grouping among sauropodomorphs.]
