Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
V. Díez Díaz et al. 2016Member of Titanosauria, having the following autapomorphies (marked with an asterisk), as well as an unique combination of characters not seen in other titanosaurs: (1) posterior centrodiapophyseal lamina (pcdl) dorsally and ventrally widened (sometimes bifurcated) simultaneous in anterior and middle dorsal vertebrae (shared with Saltasaurus); (2) short postspinal lamina (posl) with a transversely expanded distal end represented by smooth scars in the dorsal vertebrae*; (3) anteriormost caudal vertebrae with the medial spinoprezygapophyseal lamina (med. sprl) and medial spinopostzygapophyseal lamina (med. spol) ventrally connected with the prespinal lamina (prsl) and posl, respectively*; (4) anterior neural spines on caudal vertebrae with a dorsal projection of the prsl and posl, resulting V-shaped outline in lateral view*; (5) anterior neural spines on caudal vertebrae bear a “greek-cross”-like cross-section*; (6) middle caudal vertebrae having two rough structures in the dorsal edge of the posterior articulation, which extends to the dorsal surface of the centrum*; (7) the articular ends of the rami of the posterior haemal arches are fully divided in two articular facets*; (8) tuberosity between the anterior and the lateral trochanter of the fibula (shared with Jainosaurus).
