Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| J. F. Bonaparte and O. Mateus 1999 | Posterior cervical and dorsal vertebrae of the Diplodocus type, with bifurcated neural spines, but with only one well defined infraparapophysial lamina present from dorsal 4 backwards. In mid and posterior dorsals, the cited lamina is obliquely directed from the parapophysis to the ventroposterior corner of the neural arch. A complex structure derived from the hyposphene makes an accessory articulation, exposed in lateral view. Lower section of the neural arch of the mid and posterior dorsal vertebrae dorsoventrally shorter than in Diplodocus. |
