Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
R. N. Martínez et al. 2013Basal sauropodomorph diagnosed by the following combination of features (asterisk indicates an autapomorphy): marked posterior projection of the iliac postacetabular process; incipient perforation of the iliac portion of the acetabulum; low lateral projection of the iliac supraacetabular crest; strongly concave acetabular surface of the supraacetabular crest; femoral lateral condyle smaller than the medial condyle; medial surface of the proximal end of the fibula with an elongate rugosity adjacent to the anterior margin of the shaft∗; metatarsal 2 with strongly dorsoventrally asymmetric distal condyles∗.
