Yaneen houssayi - a new sauropod from Patagonia

A new titanosaur from the rich Patagonia region is described by Leonardo S. Filippi and colleagues. In their new paper, they reanalyze the phylogeny of titanosaurs from the Bajo de la Carpa Formation (including Yeneen). The study also highlights two other sauropod specimens that show affinities with Y. houssayi. The first, an isolated ilium, has been temporarily assigned to the new genus; the second, however, is still under preparation. Further information will be available in the future.
