Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
D. d. A. Campos et al. 2005 (Trigonosaurus pricei)Titanosaurid dinosaur characterized by the following combination of characters: elongated midcervical vertebrae, with low neural spine and concave ventral margin; elongated middorsal vertebrae with strongly posteriorly inclined neural spine; dorsal vertebrae 9 and 10 with incipient postzygodiapophyseal lamina;anterior caudal vertebrae with thin base broadening towards the top; anteriormost caudals (2-5), with two and middle caudals with
one pronounced dorsal depression on the transverse process; prezygapophyses on the caudal vertebrae extended forward (but not to the same degree as Aeolosaurus rionegrinus and Gondwanatitan faustoi), with wide articular faces; articulation surfaces for haemal arches strongly developed starting on caudal 3 until the last preserved element (caudal 20); transverse processes well developed throughout the sequence formed by anterior and medial caudals (until at least caudal 20).
