Nambalia roychowdhurii
Taxonomy
Nambalia roychowdhurii was named by Novas et al. (2011) [Basal sauropodomorph dinosaur characterised by the following combination of apomorphies (autapomorphies marked by an asterisk): femur with an almost transversely unexpanded distal end* and a shallow distal anterior intercondylar groove; and astragalus with a pit on the anterior surface of the astragalar ascending process, anterolateral process larger than the posterolateral process in dorsal view, straight ventral margin in anterior view, and sub-triangular medial condyle in anterior view.]. Its type specimen is ISI R273, a partial skeleton (right ilium, left femur, distal half of left tibia and fibula with astragalus and calcaneum), and it is a 3D body fossil. Its type locality is north of Nambal Village (ISIR 273), which is in a Norian terrestrial horizon in the Upper Maleri Formation of India.
