Okay, what the heck DA, my art quality isn't THAT bad (Just copy the image and paste it somewhere, see?). (or zoom in, that also works)(Oh it fixed itself)
So I've been having some exams recently which is why I haven't shared anything new in a LONG time but just as my exams got over, and I get back to work on my Bruhatkayosaurus restoration as it was recently validified and I was quite interested in that. Then in literally two months, This thing gets described.

What is Tharosaurus?
Okay, so some backstory. As you might know, All the restorations I've done are Prehistoric animals from India. And I'm pretty acquainted with Dinosaur species from India. I did kinda think that Dicraeosaurids might have migrated to India considering that there have been possible remains from Australia (Don't ask me where I saw that, it was a loooong time ago.). But the possibility of them evolving on the subcontinent hit me like a heckin' Balenoptera Musculus on steroids like wut. But by idiocy aside, there is more to this Sauropod than what's on the surface. Tharosaurus appears to be the OLDEST DIPLODOCOID EVER. And fun fact, there are no other Diplodocoids from India. Nice. Now I do believe there are some Dicraeosaurid teeth from the Isalo beds in Madagascar, but there haven't been any body fossils known (Side note teeth are weird man like they're literally scales that just exist in in yo mouth and are like literally rocks growing from you like what). Now Tharosaurus is known from the Jaisalmer formation, which oh my, the Jaisalmer formation. Now until last year I hadn't heard much about it. I believe there are a couple Theropod tracks (Both of whom have already been drawn by me) and a Pterosaur one. Now I thought the Pterosaur one was interesting but that was it. But, then randomly last year, both the first Turiasaur from the region as well as "the first large bodied Indian Theropod from the Jurassic" (*cough**cough*Dandakosaurus*cough**cough*thoswwweirdDilophosaurusbonethings). And now the oldest Diplodocoid ever.
Damn.
Also, I personally talked to one of the describers on Email and yes, it did have a neural spines. (I did ask him if they were Bajadasaurus-like or Amargasaurus-like, though he hasn't responded).
