Diagnosis
| Reference | Diagnosis | |
|---|---|---|
| X. Zhao 1993 | This is a relatively large sauropod with 16(?) cervical, 13, dorsal, 5 sacral, and 60 caudal vertebrae. Cervicals are distinctly opisthocoelous, anterior caudals are procoelous but mid- and posterior caudals are gently amphicoelous. Cervical neural spines are relatively high, dorsal pleurocoels are relatively shallow, and laminae between the neural arch and centrum are simple in morphology but thick. On the posterior dorsals, the apices of the neural spines are expanded. Sacral centra are fused to the extent that centrum boundaries are not visible and the four anterior neural spines are fused. Caudal neural spines are claviform and extremely posteriorly oblique. The scapula is thin and elongated, and coracoid is slender and small. Ilium is robust but a dorsal laminar ridge is indistinct, pubic peduncle is positioned anteriorly, ischium is relatively slender, pubis is robust, thin, flat, and lacks strong curvature. Proximal humerus is thick and broad with slight curvature. The ulna is longer than the radius, the latter being relatively straight. Femur is relatively thick and flat, and tibia is not well developed, being shorter than the fibula. |
