A new titanosaur from the Lower Cretaceous of Brazil
Here we describe a new record of a sauropod dinosaur from the Lower Cretaceous
(Hauterivian–Barremian) Rio Piranhas Formation, Sousa Basin, NE Brazil. Dinosaur fossil
bones from this deposit were unknown until now. Thus, the discovery of a sauropod fibula
from this locality is highly significant. Our discovery represents an indeterminate titanosaur
and the earliest stratigraphic occurrence of this group in central Gondwana. When compared
to chronocorrelate titanosaur trackmakers of this geological unit, this fossil specimen …
