Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
M. Soto et al. 2024differs from all other known titanosaurs based on an unique combination of features (autapomorphies marked with *), i.e.: biconvex first caudal centrum, anterior caudal vertebrae with well-developed neural spines with a quadrangular cross-section and well-developed postspinal lamina, pneumatic foramina in the anteriormost caudal centra, anterior caudal vertebrae with dorsal tuberosities on the transverse processes, middle caudal centra cotyles and/or condyles with an hexagonal contour*, well developed fibular knob, pyramidal astragalus, and marked oblique ridges in the anterior face of metatarsals I and II*.
