Description

The sauropod Tehuelchesaurus benitezii gen. et sp. nov., is based on about 50 percent of a skeleton of one individual. The holotype was collected in Chubut Province, Argentina, in the upper part of the Canadon Asfalto Formation of Middle to Late Jurassic age. Although the ten most posterior dorsal centra are not complete, lacking much of the neural arches, nonetheless it is their features which provide the most useful evidence regarding the affinities of T. benitezii. Primarily on that basis, T. benitezii appears to have its closest affinities with the Chinese Middle Jurassic cetiosaur Omeisaurus tianfuensis.
