a Skeletal reconstruction of A. greppini. Elements preserved in the material and therefore providing information for the skeletal reconstruction are marked in blue. Because much information is missing from the incomplete skeletal material, the dorsal vertebrae, the proportions and morphology of the cervical vertebrae and the skull were modified from Camarasaurus. b Scaled silhouette drawings of Cetiosauriscus stewarti (in black) and A. greppini (in grey) demonstrating the significant size difference between the two taxa. Scale bar is 1 m

Our thanks to talented artist Caldey for sharing with us her beautiful Muttaburrasaurus drawing.  The Muttaburrasaurus pair are gently rubbing their heads together.  Such behaviour is seen in living birds. This behaviour is often referred to as allopreening. It reaffirms social bonding.  Extant birds indulge in such behaviours including the rubbing of beaks (billing).  It
