Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
J. O. Calvo et al. 2007Two unambiguous synapomorphies support the monophyly of Elasmaria: large basal euiguanodontian with well-developed epipophyses on the third cervical and presence of thin ossified plates on thorax.
S. Rozadilla et al. 2019Elasmaria is diagnosed by the following synapomorphies: dentary teeth with an ornate labial surface; cervical centra anteroposteriorly longer than dorsoventrally high and bearing a sharp ventral longitudinal ridge; laterally bowed humerus; weakly developed deltopectoral crest of humerus; greater trochanter of the femur with a sigmoidal outline in proximal view; and an anteroproximally–posterodistally elongated tibial cotyle of the calcaneum.
