Making a diorama with Mamenchisaurus or Yangchuanosaurus and need some plausible trees? Try a cedar on for size. Here are two tree species described from their trunks, which show a feature called [checks notes] "Abietineentüpfelung," which is characteristic of conifers. (The "Abie-" part is from the genus name for some modern firs.) These two species are both in the genus Protocedroxylon ("first cedar wood").

In the kingdom of the blind, better take public transit. Well, in the kingdom of the sighted, too, really--almost everyone is a terrible driver.
