Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
J. Mo et al. 2010Differs from
all other sauropods in the following combination of character states: (1)
prezygapophysis closely contacts with parapophysis, with the prdl and prpl absent; (2) presence of cavity on the dorsal surface of the diapophysis; (3) neural spine very low, with its distal end level with that of diapophysis; (4) distal end of the neural spine strongly expanded laterally to form a platform; (5) marked fossa formed between the infradiapophyseal lamina and the parapophysis; (6) broad, flat area of featureless bone on lateral surface of neural arch; (7) vertically directed infradiapophyseal lamina expands or bifurcates ventrally to form a inverted "Y"; (8) highly positioned parapophyses large and tear-drop in shape.
