Descripción
Sumario:After 86 years since the historical work by von Huene describing dinosaur remains from the Marília Formation (Bauru Group) from the Monte Alegre de Minas municipality, new bone fragments from the same locality are presented here. The materials were identified as a part of a prezygapophysis and the margin of a robust bone. The fragmentary condition of these specimens did not allow a more specific assignment, but it was possible to identify characters that are present both in titanosaurids and sauropods.
