Some conclusions drawn from a survey of bite marks on sauropod bones in the Morrison formation.

https://cowboystatedaily.com/2023/11/19/bite-marks-on-bones-show-wyomings-largest-dinosaurs-lived-fast-and-died-young/

Excerpt:
Bones from baby, juvenile and subadult sauropods have been found in the Morrison, but they’re scarce. The study suggests that the young sauropods were easier for the large Jurassic predators to kill and eat. Their smaller size and easier-to-consume bones and bodies made them preferential targets.

Because of this, Jurassic Wyoming would’ve been a young-adult dystopia filled with pregnant teenage sauropods and lots of freshly hatched babies. The massive adult sauropods that make the most impressive museum exhibits were a lucky exception to the norm of mass mortality among their younger, smaller counterparts.
