PNSO - New for 2024

[thomasw100]

Coming back to the comparison between the PNSO and the Haolonggood Camarasaurus, there is one aspect which as far as I know has not been discussed as of yet. Both the PNSO and the Haolongood Camarasaurus have a walking pose. I noticed already on the Haolonggood Alamosaurus and now also on the Camarasaurus that when viewed from the anterior to the posterior, the arms and legs are angled somewhat inward. The PNSO Camarasaurus appears to not shows this, at least not so clearly. But in view of observations from a number of sauropod tracks in the Morrison and elsewhere, sauropods must have angled their arms and legs inward when they walked, because otherwise the hand and foot prints would not be as close to the midline of the tracks as they are found in the fossil record. The Haolonggood sauropod figures capture this feature better than the PNSO Camarasaurus.

I think this is because the PNSO Camarasaurus is not intended to be walking.

Just a head's up if anyone ordered the PNSO Camara on Amazon with the discount, I received an email saying it's shipping and should arrive Sep 23 - Sep 29.

Probably this is the case, but nevertheless good to see that Haolonggood has taken into consideration that arms and legs of sauropods would angle inwards when they were walking.
