Abstract
There is great interest in calculating accurate values for Earth’s palaeogravity. One fundamental technique to quantify palaeogravity is to compute weight against mass estimates of ancient animals. This technique is applied the quadrupedal armoured dinosaur Ankylosaurus magniventris AMNH 5214 specimen. The results indicate a palaeogravity of 0.69g ± 20% is a reliable estimate for 67 Ma.

David de Hilster on Facebook - Stephen Hurrell, we would love to have you publish in our Proceedings for 2020. What do you think?
Palaeogravity Laboratory - I think it would be better to wait until we have a few dozen results and then we could do a review article.
