Hm I'm not sure. "Penultimate" and "adjacent" are not really anatomical terms, I once learned them in my English classes in School as being part of the standard vocabulary. I don't really want to "translate" them into simpler terms, since Knowledge (XXG) wants to provide a high language standard, and

In some places it says Amargasaurus had spines all along its neck, back and tail, possibly with a skin "sail". In others it says it was only in the neck (there's even a drawing) and no sail. Which is it, I don't know. Year of discovery also varies. Maybe 1984 was initial discovery, 1991 was formal
470:
Amargasaurus did have a kind of ridge that ran all the way down its back, but this isn't exactly the same as the neck "sail". The very elongated spines that make this dinosaur so unique are only found on the back of the neck; the main ridge seen over the back and tail is much lower, was almost
838:"It followed the typical sauropod bauplan, with a long tail and neck, a small head, and a barrel-shaped trunk supported by four column-like legs. The neck of Amargasaurus was proportionally short for sauropod standards, as in other members of the Dicreosauridae." is self-contradictory 1093: 205: 630:
Oh, I see, must have over interpreted "We interpret that Amargatitanis represents a more maturational stage than Amargasaurus". But I'm sure the paper goes into more detail, and should be covered here in any casde.

Where would one find reconstructions of Gregory S. Paul's proposed hypothesis without skin sails? I'm trying to make an accurate sculpture, and finding accurate references is proving difficult...--

As with the above, change "which suggest a habitual position of the snout some 80 cm above the ground" to "which suggests a habitual position of a lowered neck" or some such.
759: 430: 749: 1123: 916:
Honestly, when I first heard the term "penultimate", I had to look it up to know what it meant. I agree with you that adjacent is fine, but how about you link to
420: 325: 835:
Just a suggestion, but instead of having references mid-sentence I prefer to order them all at the end of the sentence. I you think otherwise just mention it.

Ah I see: "penultimate" is much more common in Britain than in America (although it exists there as well). What I learned was British Englisch. --
876:, thanks for the comments, you made some very good points, and I think I should have fixed everything by now. Do you have any further comments? -- 621: 1053: 291: 387: 348: 1103: 472: 471:
certainly imbedded in skin (and probably fat or muscle), and can be found in other diplodocoids such as Dicraeosaurus and Apatosaurus.

I'd say that the rest looks quite good, but you might want to explain "penultimate" (second last).
811:. Overall the article looks good but I have a few comments and there are a few grammatical errors. 379: 684: 650: 636: 579: 544: 514: 287: 454: 988: 792: 270: 152: 847:"It likely showed a horselike" I'd change to "Based on close relatives it likely showed..." 143: 991:

917: 826:
What is "mid-height"? within so many meters of the ground? or about even with the back?
507: 832:
I'd move the "for sauropod standards" outside brackets and to the end of the sentence.
