Re: Saturnalia, Atlasaurus, Zupaisaurus



Hello list members,

a short time ago Ben Creisler wrote about Saturnalia tupiniquim, a 
sauropodomorph dinosaur from the Upper Triassic (Carnian) of southern Brazil.

He wrote
<<
Saturnalia tupiniquim, is equivalent in age to the earliest dinosaurs from 
northwestern Argentine, being the oldest sauropodomorph dinosaur known from 
plentiful skeletal material.
...
Holotype is a well preserved, semi-articulated skeleton, including ... , left 
femur and most the right hand limb.

Is it a prosauropod and how much of the pes (mani, digits) is preserved?

Thank you and greeting from a cold Germany
