We are in fact modelling sauropod tracheas now. We are looking for more "osteological" data on Sauropodomorphs: if you can forward data on neck, femur, humerus form the same specimen, I would be happy. Especially the short-necked sauropodomorphs are underrepresented in our consideration at the moment. We have included Plateosaurus engelhardti, Shunosaurus lii, Dicraeosaurus hansemanni, Camarasaurus lentus, Camarasaurus lewisi, Apatosaurus ajax, Apatosaurus lousiae, Euhelopus zdanskyi, Mamenchisaurus youngi, Diplodoccus carnigii , Mamenchisaurus hochuanensis , Brachiosaurus brancai. It would be great to have a few more. The contact details are in the reference Sverdlova et al. That is a nice feed-back and announcement of our ongoing work.
