I have not seen the article as of yet.  Does anyone know of the formation 
it was found in.  I have listings for 2 late Cretaceous hadrosaurs? 
dinosaurs as yet not described. 

One from the Yacoraite Formation, Salta, Argentina reported by Bonaparte,
1980.  The other from (Senonian) Chubut, Argentina reported at first as from
the Paleocene by Casamiquela,1964; later reported by Bonaparte, 1980.

Also there is the Cardiel Formation of Santa Cruz, Argentina which has 
produced Loncosaurus argentinus, originally considered a coelurid, but 
now considered an ?Ornithopoda indet.  This part of Argentina has been worked
on by Gasparini.
