“…Royo-Torres et al (2006) suggested the presence of Turiasauria in the Portuguese Upper Jurassic record, and this hypothesis was subsequently corroborated by the presence of new teeth and postcranial material (Mateus, 2009;Royo-Torres et al, 2009;Ortega et al, 2010;Mocho et al, 2012;Royo-Torres et al, 2014a;Mocho et al, 2016b). Four taxa, so far exclusively, were described in the Upper Jurassic of the Lusitanian Basin: the camarasaurid Lourinhasaurus alenquerensis (Lapparent and Zbyszewski, 1957;Dantas et al, 1998;Mocho et al, 2014b); the diplodocid Dinheirosaurus lourinhanensis (Bonaparte and Mateus, 1999;Mannion et al, 2012; recently referred as Supersaurus lourinhanensis by Tschopp et al, 2015), the basal macronarian and putative brachiosaurid Lusotitan atalaiensis (Lapparent and Zbyszewski, 1957;Antunes and Mateus, 2003;Mannion et al, 2013), and the turiasaur Zby atlanticus .…”

“…Several new occurrences have also been reported (Antunes and Mateus, 2003;Mateus, 2005;Royo-Torres et al, 2006;Yagüe et al, 2006;Mateus, 2009;Royo-Torres et al, 2009;Ortega et al, 2010;Mannion et al, 2012;Mocho et al, 2012Mocho et al, , 2013aMocho et al, , 2013bMateus et al, 2014;Mocho et al, 2014aMocho et al, , 2016bMocho et al, , 2017. This new information suggests a more diverse scenario for sauropod fauna during the Late Jurassic of the Lusitanian Basin than previously considered, with the identification of a clade previously unidentified in this basin, the non-neosauropod eusauropod group Turiasauria.…”

“…These elements are poorly preserved. Mannion et al (2012) distinguished this specimen from Dinheirosaurus lourinhanensis and suggested that it might represent a second diplodocid taxon from the Upper Jurassic of the Lusitanian Basin. Tschopp et al (2015) suggested that it represents an indeterminate diplodocine different from Dinheirosaurus.…”

“…A systematic revision of the Portuguese taxa of the Late Jurassic was recently performed (for Dinheirosaurus see Mannion et al, 2012;Tschopp et al, 2015; Lusotitan see Mannion et al, 2013;Mocho et al, 2016c; and for Lourinhasaurus, see Mocho et al, 2014b). Several new occurrences have also been reported (Antunes and Mateus, 2003;Mateus, 2005;Royo-Torres et al, 2006;Yagüe et al, 2006;Mateus, 2009;Royo-Torres et al, 2009;Ortega et al, 2010;Mannion et al, 2012;Mocho et al, 2012Mocho et al, , 2013aMocho et al, , 2013bMateus et al, 2014;Mocho et al, 2014aMocho et al, , 2016bMocho et al, , 2017.…”

“…In fact, this area is generally covered by soil with natural vegetation or agriculture, resulting in only a few outcrops that could produce vertebrate fossils. The most important localities are Moita dos Ferreiros (Mateus, 2005;Mannion et al, 2012) and Miragaia, where FIGURE 6. 1, Geological map of the coastal sector from Foz do Arelho to Nazaré area (located on the Bombarral Subbasin, and considered part of the Consolação Sub-basin following Taylor et al, 2014) (modified from Zbyszewski and Moitinho de Almeida, 1960;Camarate França and Zbyszewski, 1963;Azerêdo et al, 2010) with the localities yielding fossil remains referred to Sauropoda.…”

A new specimen of Haplocanthosaurus is described based on bones excavated from the Late Jurassic Dry Mesa Dinosaur Quarry near Delta, Colorado. The specimen consists of seven dorsal vertebrae and a right tibia and is identified as Haplocanthosaurus based on the dorsally angled transverse processes, tall neural arch peduncles, low parapophyses relative to the diapophyses in the posterior dorsal vertebrae, and the robustness of the tibia combined with a greatly expanded distal articular surface. The discovery adds to our understanding of the biostratigraphy of Haplocanthosaurus, showing this genus is definitively present in the Brushy Basin Member of the Morrison Formation, and making this individual the geologically youngest Haplocanthosaurus specimen on the Colorado Plateau. The identification of this genus adds to the known diversity of sauropods at Dry Mesa Dinosaur Quarry (DMDQ), which is at least six distinct genera, making DMDQ the most diverse single locality of sauropods in the Morrison Formation and the world.

Wintonotitan wattsi, a Cretaceous titanosauriform sauropod from central Queensland, Australia, is redescribed following a full revision of its osteology. The holotype specimen, a partial postcranial skeleton derived from the lower Upper Cretaceous Winton Formation, comprises axial and appendicular elements. Wintonotitan has been commonly resolved as a non‐titanosaurian somphospondylan titanosauriform since its description, in contrast to its more derived contemporary Diamantinasaurus matildae. We provide a detailed redescription, taking this opportunity to correct four misinterpretations made in the original description of Wintonotitan that impact on our understanding of this taxon: the right ulna was originally described as the left and vice versa; the left metacarpus was incorrectly described as being from the right side; metacarpal IV was described as metacarpal V and vice versa; and the ilium was incorrectly oriented. The reassessment of the metacarpus is particularly important, since it shows that a proximal fossa is present on metacarpals I, II and III, which might have been occupied by either the strongly convex distal end of the radius or a (possibly unossified) carpal element. We provide a review of titanosauriform metacarpal morphology to support our reassessments. Our revision of the osteology of Wintonotitan results in the identification of several previously unrecognized autapomorphies, augmenting and revising its original diagnosis. We provide additional support for the previous referral of four caudal vertebrae from south‐east of Winton, Queensland, to W. wattsi. Furthermore, we demonstrate that a tentative report of titanosaur osteoderms from the Winton Formation was based on misidentification of dorsal vertebral neural spines pertaining to the holotype of W. wattsi. Consequently, titanosaur osteoderms are currently unknown from Australia. Following our revision and reinterpretation of a number of elements, we re‐examine the phylogenetic placement of Wintonotitan, supporting its position as a non‐titanosaurian somphospondylan titanosauriform, with no close relationship with the contemporaneous lithostrotian titanosaur Diamantinasaurus.
