Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| G. Garcia et al. 2010 | A slender titanosaurid which is characterized by a combination of characters that differentiates it from other European Late Cretaceous taxa (Lirainosaurus, Ampelosaurus and Magyasaurus). Shares with Malawisaurus the anterior cervical vertebrae without marked pleurocoels, the posterior dorsal vertebrae with an accessory lamina connecting the posterior centro- diapophyseal and postzygodiapophyseal laminae, and the amphiplatyan to slightly opisthocoelous distal caudals. Other features include teeth with cylindrical root and slightly spatulate crown, with the labial face slightly convex and the lingual face concave; absence of hyposphene- hypantrum articulation in posterior dorsal vertebrae; coracoid foramen equidistant from the dorsal and ventral margins of the coracoid; sacrum with five opisthocoelous fused vertebrae, with pleurocoels present only on the first vertebra; strongly procoelous anterior caudal vertebrae; dorsal edge of the scapular blade perpendicular to the proxi- mal expansion of the scapula; distal end of the humerus very slightly transversely expanded. |
