Abstract

is a sauropod dinosaur from the Early Cretaceous Hastings Group of England. It is represented by a single partial dorsal vertebra, NHMUK PV R2095, which consists of the centrum and the base of a tall neural arch. Despite its fragmentary nature, it is recognisably distinct from all other sauropods, and is here diagnosed with five unique characters. One character previously considered unique is here recognised as shared with the rebbachisaurid diplodocoid from the mid-Cretaceous of Morocco: an 'M'-shaped arrangement of laminae on the lateral face of the neural arch. Following the more completely preserved , these laminae are now interpreted as ACPL and lateral CPRL, which intersect anteriorly; and PCDL and CPOL, which intersect posteriorly. Similar arrangements are also seen in some other rebbachisaurid specimens (though not all, possibly due to serial variation), but never in non-rebbachisaurid sauropods. is therefore referred to Rebbachisauridae. Due to its inferred elevated parapophysis, the holotype vertebra is considered a mid-posterior dorsal despite its elongate centrum. Since is from the Berriasian-Valanginian (earliest Cretaceous) Ashdown Formation of the Wealden Supergroup of southern England, it is the earliest known rebbachisaurid by some 10 million years. Electronic 3D models were invaluable in determining 's true affinities: descriptions of complex bones such as sauropod vertebrae should always provide them where possible.

摘要

是一种来自英国早白垩世黑斯廷斯群的蜥脚类恐龙。它由单个部分背椎NHMUK PV R2095代表,该背椎由椎体和高神经弓的基部组成。尽管其化石不完整,但它与所有其他蜥脚类恐龙明显不同,在此被诊断出具有五个独特特征。一个先前被认为独特的特征,在此被认为与来自摩洛哥白垩纪中期的雷巴齐斯龙类梁龙超科共有:神经弓侧面的薄片呈“M”形排列。根据保存更完整的情况,这些薄片现在被解释为前侧皮质骨板和外侧皮质骨板,它们在前方相交;以及后侧皮质骨板和中央皮质骨板,它们在后方相交。在其他一些雷巴齐斯龙类标本中也观察到类似的排列(尽管不是全部,可能是由于个体差异),但在非雷巴齐斯龙类蜥脚类恐龙中从未见过。因此,它被归入雷巴齐斯龙科。由于其推断的副突升高,尽管其椎体细长,但模式标本椎骨仍被认为是中后段背椎。由于它来自英格兰南部韦尔登超群的贝里亚阶 - 瓦朗阶(最早的白垩纪)阿什当组,它是已知最早的雷巴齐斯龙类,比其他同类大约早1000万年。电子3D模型在确定其真正亲缘关系方面非常宝贵:对于像蜥脚类椎骨这样复杂的骨骼描述,应尽可能提供这些模型。
