Well, since no one has mentioned this on the list yet (I think), a new
theropod from the Santana Formation (Romualdo Member) from Araripina region (precise
locality unknown) is described (not named) by Martill, Frey, Sues and Cruickshank,
2000. It has almost the same material that Santanaraptor has (partial ilium,
pubis, ischium, femora, distal ends of fibula and tibia, sacral vertebrae), but
the elements aren’t the same shape. Also they believe there might be remnants of
a segment of a lithified intestinal tract and a postpubic air sac. More internal guts of dinosaurs. Martill, David M., Eberhard Frey, Hans-Deuter Sues, and Arthur R. I.

associated soft structures from the Lower Cretaceous Santana Formation of
