Galton, P. M. (2001). Prosauropod dinosaurs from the Upper Triassic of 
Germany. In: de Salas, C.A.S. (ed.) Actas de las I Jornadas Internacionales 
sobre Paleontologia de Dinosaurio y su Entorno.  Colectivo 
Arqueologico-Paleontologico. Burgos (Spain). p.25-92.

_Ruehleia bedheimensis_ is a plateosaur sensu Galton & Upchurch (in prep.) 
with the following characters: three vertebrae in sacrum including a 
dorsosacral; ilium with a very large pubic peduncle and an extremely short 
anterior process; proximal end of the pubis with length of articular surface 
for ilium much longer than wide with a very short acetabular part (equals 
half width of iliac surface); manus with three large carpals with 
complicated (sic) proximal articular surfaces.

Holotype: MB (Museum fur Naturkunde, Berlin), unnumbered (Ruhle von 
Lilienstern Collection): a reasonably complete skeleton, that consist of 
cervicals 4-10, dorsals 1-14, partial sacrum, about 20 caudals, right 
scapula-coracoid, both humeri, right radius and ulna, both manus 
(incomplete), both pelvic girdles, femora, tibiae and right astragalus.

Locality: Romhild, 20 km from Schleusingen, SW of Hildburghausen (South 
Turingia, Germany).
