Resumen:
Sauropoda is one of the most diverse and geographically
widespread clades of herbivorous dinosaurs, and until
now, their remains have nowbeen recovered from all continental
landmasses except Antarctica. We report the first record of a
sauropod dinosaur from Antarctica, represented by an incomplete
caudal vertebra from the Late Cretaceous of James Ross
Island. The size and morphology of the specimen allows its
identification as a lithostrotian titanosaur. Our finding indicates
that advanced titanosaurs achieved a global distribution at least
by the Late Cretaceous.
